[INACTIVE][MECH] MobRider v0.32 - Finally a proper use for saddles! [674]

BUG:
When a player thats being ridden tries to ride the rider, they both fly up into the void, then fall to their death on right click.

 

Everyone knows. It's even in the video in the first post. I like it
Don't want to fly? Just don't do that...

 

But players can gain an advantage from being able to see the whole map and beyond...

 

The same render range as usual applies. You can see no more than standing on top of a high mountain.

 

This and the other recommended one are just plain awesome I will recommend this to ppl for sure!

 

Will this work with a higher builds? It looks awesome and I want it for my server!

 

It should do, yes.

 

Cool, thanks

 

Anyway to get WSAD to steer mobs ?
--- merged: Mar 6, 2011 4:06 PM ---
and possible to get the mob ur riding to disable its AI so it only listens to you and wont wonder around until u let it do so.

 

WASD is a common request but is unfortunately not possible with bukkit.
If you're riding a mob it should automatically stay in one place. It might turn on the spot but shouldn't wander around.

 

alright bit of a shame tho wasd would have been superb.

oh and is that mount thing where two players mount echother and u get a rocket boost to the sky a bug or a easteregg?

 

It's technically a bug since I didn't put it in on purpose (it's just minecraft being weird). It's a fun bug though and I'm too lazy to fix it right now

 

BUG:

When I activate arrow dispenser and get hit by the arrow, MobRider gives a severe error in console:

Error happens somtimes my server log shows it did it when players saddled each other

 

Feeding a spider twice with wheat seems to dc everyone on the server, not sure if it affects every food item or just wheat, am I doing something wrong? The console only gives a generic disconnect error. :x

 

BUG: Seeing the following error inconsole with CB #493. Recreated the same error as Frin when using a dispenser.

522 I cant seem to use a saddle on anything

 

Do you have the necessary permissions?

 

Awesome plugin and I have two suggestions:

Could it be possible to use line of sight aiming to command the creature to go somewhere? It is hard to throw the fishing rod to the right place. Also I get annoyed of the sound of the fishing rod after I throwed it 20 times.

could you create another goto command that takes x and z values? This way I can write down on paper where my home is in x z values and command my creature to go home with me.

 

yes everything was fine in 493. Something with the update

 

fix this error please!

 

Maybe there could be locations you could set, for instance:
/mob setlocation home
Would add a co-ordinate to a file somewhere that's called "home" (similar to warps). You then tell the creature you're riding:
/mob goto home
This would work similarly to travelling to players (although 1 out of the 3 times I did this my creature was just constantly running at a wall :/)

Edit: There also seems to be an annoying (but hilariously funny) bug with this. My friend was riding his creeper friend (I'm also running Friendlies and Monster tamer - Creepers are friendly), whilst attempting to steer the creeper with his fishing rod he hit a sheep by mistake and for some reason his creeper decided that the sheep was attempting to kill him and rushed to his aid (basically, it exploded with him on it - killing him). The irony of all this is that the sheep was the only one that survived!

 

@Em0srawk
Mwahahah lol that's awesome XD

 

+1, that would be great!

 

I cannot figure out how to install this. Just leaving the .zip extension does not work, (not detected by bukkit), leaving an uncompressed version in plugins does not work (not detected). Renaming the zip to jar tries to load it but then says:

Any ideas?

 

Open the zip and take the jar out. Put the jar in the plugins folder and it should then just work.

I lol'd hard.
As for your idea about set locations, I'm not sure I like it. At the moment the plugin is very lightweight. No data is stored or retrieved for it to work. It just uses information from within the game itself. I might give it more thought in the future when bukkit comes with in-built support for data persistence, but until then don't get your hopes up.

It uses line of sight already. You don't need to throw the fishing rod. Just wave it in the direction you want to go with your left mouse button (which also stops it making a sound).
I can certainly look into coordinate commands though.

 

Ah ha... I am on a macosx system and when I double clicked on the zip file it automatically opened the jar too! (I saw the jar flash in the folder for a second before expanding automatically) I used stuffit expander to open just the jar. Thanks for hinting it was something simple.

 

Download link appears to be broken. Never mind. This plugin sounds awesome, can't wait to try it out!

Lol, Zombie appears to be a bit broken. When mounted, it tries to chase after the rider and spams the hell out of chat:

 

hmmm. I'll see what I can do about that.

 

You may need to put esseternals in a folder in order to use this. Unless you deleted esseternals secret permissions.
