Inactive [FUN/TP/MECH] Runecraft v2.12 - Magic effects using runes [1.2.5-R1.0]

Runecraft - The magic mod for Bukkit!
Version: 2.12

This is the Runecraft mod ported to the CraftBukkit server.

Runecraft adds magic spells to the game which are triggered by block patterns called runes.
It let's you create teleporter and waypoint runes for instant travelling, build hidden doors into mountain walls or enchant your tools. And more.

Features:

• Build runes (block patterns) for spell casting
• Teleportation runes
• Faster digging with Power Pick and Power Drill
• Hidden doors and traps using Phase Block and Lock Block runes
• Build an easy spleef arena with Spleef Blocks
• Shoot torches with Bow of Light rune
• Works with multiple worlds
• Support for Bukkit's permission system
• Much more!

Download:

• Download for Minecraft 1.2.5 (.jar): 2.12
• Download for Minecraft 1.2.4 (.jar): 2.11.1
• Download for Minecraft 1.2 (.jar): 2.11
• More downloads (also for Vanilla Minecraft): http://llama.cerberusstudios.net/runecraft/ (use link "Bukkit download")

Configuration:
The config file is named "disabled-runes.txt" and lies in the root bukkit folder (alongside server.properties etc.).
The file is generated if you load the plugin. Each line contains an option which is either the name of a blacklisted rune, the name of a player not allowed to use runes, or a specific command. Some commands are:

• whitelist - turns the rune blacklist into a whitelist
• enable multiworld travel - allows teleportation using runes between different worlds
• initiation - players cannot use runes until they activate a special rune containing bedrock

More options are listed in the Official forum thread in the section Runecraft Administration.

Bukkit's Permissions:
Runecraft supports Bukkit's permission system since version 2.8.2. Use a permissions plugin such as PermissionsBukkit, bPermissions or PermissionsEx.
Runecraft currently has the following permission nodes:

Code:

runecraft.*                        - gives .teleport and .runes
runecraft.teleport                 - must be true to allow any teleportation runes
runecraft.runes                    - gives permission for all runes
runecraft.runes.powerpick          - gives both .activate and .use
runecraft.runes.powerpick.activate - gives permission to bind Power Pick rune
runecraft.runes.powerpick.use      - gives permission to use a rune-enchanted tool

(Replace 'powerpick' with the name of any other rune)
'runecraft.teleport' must be given to allow any form of Runecraft teleportation (Teleporter, Personal Teleporter and Recall runes).

All users have 'runecraft.*' by default. If your permissions plugin doesn't have negative permissions, you have to overwrite the default to disable all runes, and then enable the runes you want with your permissions plugin. To disable all Runecraft permissions by default, open the file plugins/Runecraft/config.yml and change permissions.teleport and permissions.runes to false:

Code:

permissions:
  teleport: false
  runes: false

Old permissions system (removed in recent versions):

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

You can use AttributeProviders to connect the Permissions plugin with Runecraft. You can also connect any other Permissions-like plugin with Runecraft, if there is an AttributeProvider for it.
Runecraft currently has the following permission nodes:

• 'runecraft.teleport' - allows or blocks any teleportation (Teleporter, Personal Teleporter and Recall runes)
• 'runecraft.rune.<name of rune>' - allows use of that rune. 'runecraft.rune.*' allows all runes.
  For example: 'runecraft.rune.phantomtorch', 'runecraft.rune.personalteleporter'.

Here's what PEX checks for when I try and activate a compass rune, you can see I added the compass activate and use permissions to the group first, but it is only checking for runecraft.* or runecraft.runes?

This is where i try to activate the compass

 

Well, I played around with PermissionsEx and found:
1) 'runecraft.teleport' is bugged. It defaulted to true. But that doesn't apply to the 'runecraft.runes...' tree. I'll fix it in the next update.

2) PEX doesn't apply permissions correctly the moment you set them. If you do "pex reload", it works.

The debug output "User X checked for..." does only list the permissions check with hasPermission() but not those which were checked using isPermissionSet().

 

when using powerpick i'm getting "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.minecraft.server.Block.dropNaturally" so this looks like main problem with only one dropped item.

 

Which version did you use? Runecraft 2.10.1?

 

For those who can't be bothered to go back through the thread (Usually me );
https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6697274_7843278_246554/Runecraft-2.10.1.jar

Anyway, is there documentation on the new version?

 

I released a new version (2.10.2) with new runes. See first post for download. The change log should list all important changes.

New runes: Posting in Minecraft forum

 

thanks for the update with the config file, permissions are much better now

 

We have an issue. One of my Admins copy and pasted the force field rune with world edit.... when removed the effect is still there and the force fields wont go away.

Where does runecraft write the data? anyway to clear this out?

 

Place a block where the force field was and destroy it.

You can temporarily rename the world/magic.dat so that the Force Field is disabled if you can't get in.

 

So I have a request, but would have to wait until I have enough money for a donation.

First the rune: (I don't know how to do the fancy stuff, so _ = air, W=wood, R=redstone torch and S=Stone)

Layer one:

SSS
SSS
SSS

Next three layers:
___
_W_
___

Top(fifth) Layer:
___
_R_
___

Basically, you're building a giant redstone torch (on a stone mount). Once built, you'd right-click the appropriate block, then it would place two LINKED redstone torches in your inventory (or an object that places them with two uses).

The linked redstone torches would set the state of the SECOND torch to same state of the FIRST torch. So suppose you wanted to use a lever to move a drawbridge back and forth, and you wanted one of the levers on both sides of the drawbridge. Currently, I do this with a complex, and painful redstone mechanism that is built beneath the "moat", but having linked redstone would solve that problem.

Also, if two redstone could be linked across the WORLD, then you could use them as a communication device (particularly useful for servers that use "Ranged" chat.) Flipping the lever in one place could light up a beacon in another place notifying them of an impending attack! I could think of all KINDS of uses for them. If it were extended to a linked button, you could send morse code across the distances. If nothing else, it would significantly simplify large redstone circuit builds. Perhaps their range could be limited to the tier level of the base blocks? ie: 100 blocks distance * tier level.

Not having gotten into plugin development, I don't know how painful the tracking of linked redstone states and switching of them would be. Perhaps a sender/receiver signature system similar to teleporters is more feasable?

Ah, and another simple request:

Could the underwater helmet be made SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful? An additional 30 seconds underwater is nearly useless, particularly when you're in a panic underwater, and you're trying to throw the helmet on, taking up 15 of those seconds, and then you have to reorient yourself. I've found that in the time it takes me to put the helmet on, by the time I start swimming back up from how far I've sunk, haven't gained anything.

I would recommend that the "ink" blocks (the four corners) determine tier level, and that the helmets are a.) Reusable (they reset when you take a breath) and that the equation be something like: 30 seconds * tier level. Maybe a config setting to change this functionality as you wish?

Thanks for an awesome mod, BTW. The teleporters have made Minecraft at completely new game for us. Still playing with a lot of the other runes.

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

 

Totally agree with this. That rune is frustrating at best and useless at worst. I was doing some underwater work for a water based home once and fired this run off several times and it really is just too short, especially for the time taken to make it.

And ditto to the awesome mod part. This just adds soo much awesomeness to the game.

 

Redstone torches as output isn't possible, because we can't toggle them at will. All the plugins use a different approach, like flipping a lever or using a redstone repeater or something else.
However, wireless redstone is already possible with Runecraft: Use an Automation Designator as output, combined with a Phase Block'ed redstone torch. As input you can use a Redstone Sensor connected to a lever/button or a Damage Sensor instead.

 

Ahh, I haven't played with the Automation Designators yet. My understanding was that they would just "flip" anything in the area, and you couldn't have them target a very specific sensor. Am I wrong on this one? The reason being that I would like to do some very complex things with them. Also, wouldn't this toggle EVERYTHING within range? What if you wanted the link to be miles away?

Even two linked levers would be more than sufficient.

 

The Automation runes have signatures similar to the Teleporters.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m78wmMKcpS4

 

To disable all Runecraft permissions by default, open the file plugins/Runecraft/config.yml and change permissions.teleport and permissions.runes to false:

I don't have the config.yml, only the block-runes.txt - where can I grab one? All downloads are just .jar and it didn't generate the file.

 

The file looks exactly like this:

Code:

permissions:
  teleport: true
  runes: true

 

Why is the piston arm tier 0 instead of tier 2 now? is this a bug, because on minecraftwiki.net it says that the piston arm is tier 2. We have 16-in-1 teleporters that use the piston arm as tier 2, and its vital that it remain teir 2. Also, all of our pressure sensors reset when I updated to 2.10.2 why is that? Also, our redstone sensors don't seem to be working.

 

• Changed Piston Extension back to tier 2 (it was supposed to be on tier 0, but it's Christmas today)
• Fixed conversion of Pressure Sensors; the new signature system with metadata support broke them (you have to copy an older magic.dat in, so the conversion is done again)

Download: Runecraft-2.10.3.jar (make sure you have a backup!)

Don't know about the Redstone sensors. Make sure the signatures match (wool colors etc).

 

Thanks!
I will try the redstone sensors again when I get back to a better internet speed, however let me explain exactly what happens:

1. I create the redstone sensor
2. I right click the center of it
3. I create the automation designator
4. I right click my teleporter
5. I place a pressure plate down connected to the redstone sensor
6. I step on the pressure plate
7. I hear the piston above the redstone sensor trigger, however I do not teleport.

Is the Redstone Sensor not supposed to trigger teleporters?

 

Redstone cannot teleport. Think about it! What would it teleport? The wire or the pressure plate?

 

Are you thinking about adding spout features optional?
Like popup when u make something.
And a timer/usageleft somewhere.

And would also like it if there will be smoke when you rune something.
So it look a bit more magical lol.
There are already plugins that use smoke like factions and i really like that

and does this works with faction protection?
Like when they make a wall or something that it dont build in faction land?
I haven't tested that yet i will test it now if i know it i will remove this lol

And in game help would also be useful.
It is kinda hard to understand.
I had to read the wiki 3 times lol.
But anyway thanks for this epic plugin

 

Thats what I was thinking. I was also thinking though that redstone might be like arrows and carry along with it the name of the person who charged it. However, would it be possible for redstone to activate a teleporter? then once a player steps on the pressure sensor it teleports them?

explanation to what im doing (open) explanation to what im doing (close)

I have a 15 in 1 teleporter, this is how I want it to work:

1. Player presses several buttons making the signature blocks change between lava and air
2. Player steps on pressure plate sending a charge to a redstone sensor activating the teleporter
3. Player finally steps on pressure sensor teleporting the player to the destination

 

No, I cannot -- in general -- detect the source of a redstone activation.
That's why SuperLlama added the Pressure Sensor rune.

 

This plugin was big back in the day.. Now it's just.. rare to hear about.

 

Make it big again!

 

@Zeerix did you read my comment?

 

Hi, what is the permissions for Farmers Charm? - runecraft.runes.farmescharm ???

 

runecraft.runes.farmerscharm

Yes. I didn't know what to answer.
I played around with Spout after your post (displaying number of uses on selected tool) but it is still buggy.
If the provmised server-side client modding support won't come soon, I might implement it though.

Smoke/Faction plugin: I will check it out.

Faction protection: Wall Master and Bridge Master check if the blocks are build-protected. Power Pick etc. check if digging is forbidden for the player.

In-game help won't be implemented, because it is so much work, and only a part of the users can see it (SpoutCraft?).
However, there could be a separate plugin for this made by someone else.

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

 

Oke thanks! hopeful you will get spout features to work
Thanks for this epic plugin!

 

I read on the minecraft forum that you are not changing the compass rune to point north because of the existing implementations. I am wondering if you could have some flexibility on the issue. Could it possibly be coded to read an additional entry in the config.yml, maybe like so?

Code:

permissions:
  teleport: true
  runes: true
#new lines
compatibility:
  useoldnorth: false

This way all new servers would point proper north, and all legacy servers could maintain their configurations without issue.
