    Plugin category: Fun

    Suggested name: PokerMaps maybe?

    What I want:
    A while ago, i was looking for games i can play with people on my bukkit server.
    I also found some poker plugins. These plugins were all chat-based, and really hard to play.
    (Like this one: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ultimatepoker/)

    There is a better way to do it: Map Items.

    I know that bukkit plugins can change the image of maps dynamically, and you can have separate maps for every player.

    Im not a plugin developer, just a graphic designer. So i made a simple mockup.
    You can see your hand, credits, and the status of other players.

    Chat Messages:
    In Chat, you will see what other players are doing "<Player> checked."

    Ideas for commands:

    Table Commands:

    /table create <playercredits> <blinds> etc.
    Create a table. Parameters: Start Credits for players, Blinds etc.

    /table invite <player>
    The creator of the table is able to invite players.

    /table join
    Accept invitations.

    /table leave
    Leave a table. A player also leaves a table when he leaves the game for 30 seconds.

    /table kick <player>
    The creator of the table is able to kick players when they are inactive.

    Game Commands:

    /check

    /raise <amount>

    /call

    etc.

    Ideas for permissions:

    pokermaps.play
    pokermaps.create


    When I'd like it by:
    It's a fun plugin, and not easy to make. I can wait :D

    That looks AMAZING! I will try and incorporate that into UltimatePoker, since I'm doing a huge re-write of it right now :) Thanks a lot for the idea, wish I thought of it earlier.

    To developers who are interested: the MapCanvas class allows manipulation of maps, you'd want to use this

    After a very long coding break I decided to get into it again, and here is an update of the progress!

    I will indeed keep working on it. It will be released very soon, since I've nearly finished coding the blackjack part of it (which also has a very nice user interface :))
     
  9. Wow that looks awesome

    Thanks for adapting my idea!
    I would use a brighter font like white instead of red.

    The small font looks bad. You can move the "community cards" description to the top-right, so you have space for a 5-pixel font ;)

    Oh, can you release the source code? I want to see how it manages the different maps.

    I will try and use a white font and see if that changes much.

    In game, the font doesn't actually look that small and is pretty readable. I wanted to fit in as much information as I possibly could so I had to squash it a little bit. I'm not sure where you wanted me to move the community cards text :p

    And yes, the source code will be up on github once I'm done.

    Remove the "Poker Interface" Text, and move the "Community Cards" to the top-right. You will get 5 additional pixels for a bigger font. Look at the "B", "R" and "E" in the small font.
     
  13. How do you make maps look like that?

    Oh, I see. That may be a good idea, but I did want to keep that text. Plus i added a 'By Norbo11' text in the top right space. We will see.
