[FUN/DEV] InvisibleInk v1.4 - Ever wondered why all paper is blank? [1000]

INVISIBLE INK PLUGIN

Ever tried to make quests or maps with paper and noticed that only you knew what was 'written' on the paper?
Ever wondered why all paper in minecraft is blank?

Well, I tell you why. It's because all ink in minecraft is invisible ink! And with this plugin you are actually able to know what is written with this magical unknown and unreadable substance.

Invisible Ink Plugin​

Version 1.4​

By Lennart van Bremen​

Download InvisibleInk.jar​

Total package (Invisible Ink, extensions and source)​

​

​

Description:​

​

With the invisible ink plugin enabled you can create different types of papers. Each paper can be read or executed by left or right clicking. Extensions with custom behavior are easy to develop and implement on your server.​

​

​

Features:​

• Creating different types of papers with custom text 'written' on them
• 'Readable paper' for information
• 'Command paper' for issuing commands by only right-clicking
• Easy-to-use API for creating custom behavior
• Commands ready to use for even faster development of you own extension
• Support for Permissions plugin to enable/disable users to create, read and use paper
  • (Defaulting to OP's only when permissions is not available)

Usage:​

​

To create a paper, use the command '/createpaper <String>' where <String> is any number of words you want to be written on the paper. By left-clicking while holding the paper you read it. Right-clicking doesn't do anything with regular paper.​

To create a command paper, use '/createcommandpaper <String>' where <String> is the command you want to be issued by this paper. Note that the / in front of the command isn't necessairy.​

​

If you are using permissions, the following rights can be given:​

• invisibleink.readablepaper rights to create standard readable paper
• invisibleink.commandpaper rights to create a command paper
• invisibleink.read rights to read any paper
• invisibleink.use rights to use any paper

​

Papers can be dropped, traded etc. just like any other item. However, to prevent confusing the plugin, stacking of paper is disallowed. If you try to stack them, a duplication bug can occur, this is only temporary though. To prevent this bug from happening, a client sided mod would have to be written which would decrease portability and thus won't be supported by me. The only workaround is just not to try and stack paper. Thank you.​

​

​

Supported extensions:​

​

These are extensions written by me or other developers for usage with the InvisibleInk plugin. By adding them to this list I encourage you to try them too, but am in no way responsible for bugs or errors. Notify the developer of the extension about those!​

Extension development


For developing an extension for the InvisibleInk plugin, there are only four things you have to do:

1. Add the InvisibleInk.jar as library to your project (there are enough tutorials about that!)
2. Create a class extending CustomPaper and fill in the methods
3. Bind a command which creates your paper and/or adds it to the players inventory
4. If you are happy, upload it here and notify me about it!

The plugin internally works with an id number ranging from 1 to 65535 and passes this id to your functions. Make sure you keep the id in memory to be able to use your paper!



Possible functions you can use can be found in the class file ReadablePaper.
All functions have javadocs, so make sure you read those before asking for help!
I also recommend you look at the source code for TempPermissionPaper available here

​

You can help me improving my plugins by reporting bugs or suggesting improvements. There is also an API available for this mod for all you developers out there to use.​

Try to match this guideline slightly more for the top of your post:

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/plugin-release-submission-guidelines.1810/

Changelog must still show at least "v1.0 - Initial release".

 

And source ? I'd really like to learn a few things from this.

 

I'll try to get the source code a little bit clearer and upload it after that.

 

Is there a config file? I cannot find it
Great plugin by the way!

 

The plugin doesn't detect my PermissionsBukkit. My users aren't op, but I want to give them the ability to make paper.

 

If it made paper unstackable too, I would have this plugin.

 

There is, but you generally shouldn't change it.
The only configuration about this plugin is the permissions you can give your users. Use the config file of permissions for that.

It uses Permissions, not PermissionsBukkit. I don't really know the difference or advantages/disadvantages, but if you really want I can see and support PermissionsBukkit too.

it does
in some special cases it will show the paper stacked client sided, but they really aren't. If you try to use it the 'bugged' stack will just disappear and be a single paper again

 

Link is down.

 

oh god, swapped 2 links....
Thank you for noting

 

Nope, still not working. Can't reach the server you're using to host the files altogether.

Help ?
@Dutch_Devil

 

hmm managed to replicate this exact same output by deleting invisibleink.jar from the plugins folder, are you sure you have invisibleink there with the other jars?

 

For some reason, I cannot reach your website at all. Apparently it is up, but I can't connect. Must be a problem with my DNS somewhere. Do you have a mirror somewhere?

 

Hi again, just wondered if it's possible to add an option (or a config like I mentioned last time) so you can turn on/off the text that comes up when you execute a command. I've tried to edit the .class file for my own server but have had no progress due to inexperience. The only problem I have with this plugin is that it spams the console when you try and use multiple commands. If this could be done, that'd be great, if not then I'll look for an alternative!

Cheers

 

can you make it so they can only use it once?

also, it says that you don't have access to this command, therefore it is useless isn't it.. ?

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

 

I can't download it could someone send me the link (the link on forum doesn't works)

 

Download Is Broken.

 

May as well be an inactive plugin at this point.
