[INACTIVE][FUN][MECH] McBob - First build then battle, CTF [440]

Mc: Battle of the Blocks
Version: v0.0.1
This plugin is in Alpha stage, I made it during a Lan party last weekend (while I wasn't playing NES on the projector )

Download: http://laeffe.se/projects/minecraft/mcbob/mcbob-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Source Code: https://github.com/Laeffe/McBob

The idea is to:

• split the players into teams (currently North and South)
• splitting the world into areas reserved for each team (currently a line from spawn on the x axis)
• alternate between 2 modes, building and battle
• having a objective (currently CTF)

So you spawn at your tiny base, and starts to build and gather supplies (better hurry before they attack). After a while (currently 2000 server ticks) the mode changes to battle, now you must defend your flag and/or capture the other team’s flag. However no one can build anymore, and you must take the flag back to your own, so you can’t win by building a huge rock block.

Please leave feedback here, but bugs/issues at https://github.com/Laeffe/McBob/issues

Features:

• Battle the other team in a Buildup/Battle/CTF mixture.

Changelog:
Version 0.0.1

• Releasing McBob

 

How long is 2000 ticks and is that configurable?

 

2000 ticks is about 100 seconds I think and it's not configurable yet. But it's on the todo list

 

They can't build anymore, can they still destroy stuff?

 

No, while in battle you can't break blocks nor build.

 

Ahh would it be possible to make it configurable?

 

Yes, indeed.

Do you mean over the whole world or only in your team area? (I guess both should be configurable).

 

I think inside the arena ^^

 

Please make the time longer, like half of an hour, or please make it configurable. (yes, we like our wars to be epic)

To install, this just goes into the plugins folder?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Awesome idea! Must try with friends!

 

wow dude, you did this during an nes contest? I looked up strategies and excitebike and got 2nd place during my nes contest haha

any chance we can get a list of commands and maybe a youtube video?

 

I'll be keeping an eye on this.

 

so the idea is:
build a base etc. then start the fight
if it is this is awesome
just imagine, not premade maps but all your own just have fun building and fighting

 

Sorry that there aren't much instructions, but I haven't really played it my self ether

And yes it goes in the plugins folder, when you start the server the "battle/build"-loop starts. Oho and the game area is limited to a radius of 100 (I think) around the spawn point now.

I will work on implementing more settings and so on, and also some persistent.

Here are the commands (in plugin.yml) that currently exists:
chteam:
description: Changes team.
usage: |
/<command> [teamname] [playername]
teamhome:
description: Teleports to teamhome.
usage: |
/<command>
battle:
description: Sets or toggles battle state.
usage: |
/<command> [0|1]

 

Think you can make it so I can make an arena for this as well as an easier for people to choose teams(walk through a gate?)

 

the plugin doesn't load...?

This is my only plugin

 

You seem to have missed the point. The idea of this is not to be a War ripoff, but a different way that involves making your own base

 

There has been some changes to the api so McBob isn't compatible with new builds (yet), so try an older build.

 

This sounds really cool! I'd love to see a video or something of it in action first though. Also what's used for the "flag"?

 

Have only see war maybe once so it wasn't meant to even be like that. I suggest it because when I tried it I got the two bases right at my spawn(it actually broke a stair case!!!) and I couldn't find the other base because I had no sense of direction towards it.

Could you make it so something like /battle start will bring you to a place you choose with say.... /battle set? As well as an option that lets people choose if they're going to participate or not(might have missed this cause I only tested by myself)

 

Sorry for breaking your stair case . Since McBob is in alpha state I would not recommend running it in a world where you are building serious stuff

But maybe i should explain a bit (I realized that there might be some parts missing in my description), two bases will be places from the spawn point with about 50blocks distance (but in the same height, so you might end up with a mountain base). The players will be restricted from traveling outside of the battle area, which is a radius of 100blocks from spawn. Because of these restrictions it's not recommended to run it within an already existing world (my opinion at least).

Oho... btw it gets quite intressting when you get overrunned by creepers while trying to defend you base

 

Well think you could make somethign that's more 'already made world' friendly? Such as letting the admin/mods choose an area to do this as well as when it starts?

 

In other news, why is it called mcBob?

 

YES I've been waiting for a plugin just like this for quite a while now. Except, its still in its early stages, so I'm gonna wait for some configs and the like before I dl.

 

It saddens me to see this isn't being continued (or at least kept up to date). Could we get a little news regarding this plugin?

 

Hi.

I've been doing a couple of updates on this now and added it for submisson on dev.bukkit.org

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcbob/

Hopefully I will be able to keep it improving now on

 

Oh hey, it's like sourceforts for minecraft. I'd thought about making this sort of thing a long time ago but never got the motivation. This is pretty cool, and I'll have to look this.
