So simple but awesome. xD

 

love it lol

 

superepicawesomeness

 

looks fun, I will probably install it, just for teh lulz, but please, PLEASE, use a wget compatible link, for more than one reason.
Good, free, examples of wget compatible links are Dropbox (use that specific link to get (and give me ^^) 250MB extra free space), and, if you make it open source, Github.

 

Sounds fun! Can I set it so that sheep that spawn naturally come in random colors?

 

^ I would also really like this feature.

 

me three!

 

want it too ^^

 

Usually I wouldn't install something like this because I usually find them stupid. But this one... this is so sweet and awesome. I can't wait until you can get them to spawn in the wild because this is just that awesome.

 

Great idea! I'll work on this today.

 

Would it be possible to have a 'kill sheep' command just in case I want this rave to stop? ^^

 

Sweet! Thanks!

 

Getting a few errors.. Running 617 1.4..

All I did was place the plugin in my plugin folder, one thing that strikes me as odd is that the plugin uses a different name to activate than it is named in the folder.

Indeed renaming the plugin to ColorSheep.Jar fixes the problem. IMO a stupid mistake to make to begin with but meh ^^ I love mah sheeps now

 

EPIC!

 

Naturally spawning sheep still arent spawning with a random color for me. Its all white black brown pink and the millions of shades of grey.

I am loving the rave though. I told my fiance from New Zealand that I had added a New Zealand mod onto the server. I then trapped him in a 5x5 room and used /sheep rave 100.

I haven't laughed so hard for a long time at his exclamation.

do not work with CB670

 

Its working for me on cb670

 

odd... it working now

 

they sheep are not spawning naturally and i have random set to true plz help

 

Is this still being developed? It's fantastic! Permission support would be great

 

Ok. Hopefully permissions are now supported. Tell me if you encounter any problems.

 

Update please!

 

This happens to me as well. What's weird is if a few sheep spawn nearby and I disconnect/reconnect, then those same sheep have changed from white to colorful. Is this possibly a bug in Bukkit?

 

OMFG this is hilarious. Awesome.

 

Every time I try it, it says "Player does not have proper permission". What do I do?

 

Are you running the permissions plugin? If you are, you need to add the following permissions:

• colorsheep.spawnrand
• colorsheep.max
• colorsheep.spawn
• colorsheep.rave
• colorsheep.kill
• colorsheep.status
• colorsheep.colors

I'm not sure how to resolve this problem? It seems that only sheep that spawn within viewing distance of players have a chance of being colored. If you place a sheep spawner down and stand around it they will spawn in all colors.

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

 

I found a workaround, kind of. I used the Bukkit scheduler to call back after a short delay, so the sheeps are changing color shortly after they spawn rather than simultaneously.

Here's a link to the code I've been fiddling with: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6671999/ColorSheepz.zip

It's a simple plugin that colors all the sheep in the main world. I based it on your code, but removed everything I could in order to focus on the sheep not changing color issue.

UPDATE: I updated my fork on GitHub to include this timer based fix and it seems to be working well! Also fixed a bug or two in my multiworld hack.

 

Great!! It works now!1 Sorry im new to Bukkit

 

Glad to see my changes were accepted, very happy to lend a hand! I really think this plugin adds a fun element to the game, as well.
