iConomy-Protected-Kill-No-Money-Message: "$4Protected %m, you don't have the money for the fine. %m resurecting >.< "

 

This might not be a solution, but could you stop the server and rename the config file for this to "config.ylm.old" and start again- Stop the server right away once the new config is generated. You'll notice that theres a whole bunch new parameters other then what you got. Just copy/paste your old values as you please and start up agian.

Hopefully that will do it

EDIT: You could also look at my previous post- It contains a defaulted *Facepalm* Config file in Spoiler tag- You'll see what your missing.

 

Thank tearlow for helping while I was away

 

Thanks a million for fixing the Ghast

 

So are the percents actually working? I get something almost every single time I kill something, and I have my percents set really low. Like 1% on most stuff. Out of 5 zombies I just spawned and killed, 2 of them dropped the same item that has a 2% rate.

Another feature request... Would it be possible to get animals added to this? Was thinking of a way to increase the amount of goods they drop, like 10 leathers off a cow instead of 1, etc.

 

@Arisilde you just need to update to the newest version. the version your running still has the creeper bug where it pays creepercoin for every mob

@pixelbat as far as i can tell the percentages are working. the way it works is i use a function called math.random i have seen times when you get lucky and get a drop 3 times in a row, then i have seen times when i killed a spider set at 10% drop rate 27 times without a single drop
--- merged: Feb 12, 2011 1:12 PM ---
@pixelbat regarding animal drops, you can use BlockDrops to configure animals, if people think it would be something i should add to this plugin i could fairly easy, but i try not to duplicate exsiting functionality as much as possible because these other developers are working hard on their plugins too andi am always going to do my best to respect that.

 

Yeah that fixed it. Thanks guys

 

What's the diffrence between this and MonsterHunt, Which one works better? And is easier to use for my players?

 

monsterhunt is more like a nightly tournament plugin, you cant compare these two

 

MonsterHunt is like a nightly competition minigame. You set up parameters for when to hold the contest and what the prizes will be. iMonster is a constant payout for every time any player with the permissions node kills a monster, they get paid the designated amount for the monster. They both work fine. just depends on which fits your needs.

 

any way spells can be supported
would be nice to get paid for fireball kills

 

I will look into it and see if it is possible. however don't get your hopes up as my first thought is because the spells plugin is doing the killing it might not trigger the events needed to know when/who killed a monster

Awsome, thanks for moving this to plugin releases

-Zero

 

Great Plugin! Was looking for something exactly like this. For your first plugin, this is amazing

 

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I have 2 more i am in the middle of devloping and hope to release 1 or both tonight or tomorrow! stay tuned

 

For some reason when I add iMonster.user to any group it doesn't do anything...

 

Same as well, #323 build

 

Is it working with admin? Any console messages?

 

Indeed it is.

 

I FIGURED IT OUT
You need a capital U in user

Also monsters give money/drops on the first hit.

And is there any way you could have this display your balance after you kill a monster too?

 

Dang I was just gonna say that.

 

Anyone know what the permissions tag for this is? I've tried both iMonster.User and iMonster.user and neither work.

As an admin the mod works, but other users do not get the messages/money.

 

Confirmed working here using 'iMonster.User' instead of 'iMonster.user'.
Thanks

 

Downloaded. Seems to work fine on my local host. Will install it on my hosted server when i come home. If it works, good bye monsterhunt plugin =P

 

When the monster gives reward before he dies it's because if this bug in bukkit. Hopefully it is fixed soon or the update the death event. http://bugs.bukkit.org/issues/322

I will also fix it so the permission node will be case insensitive.

 

I have tried using iMonster.User in the Permissions file, but it does not seem to work at all. It works for the Admins group, and I have tried removing every single other permission just for normal players and using JUST iMonster.User and it still does not work for players.

 

hmmm, are you getting any console errors? what version of bukkit are you using, and what version of iConomy and Permissions are you using?

if it works for admins then it should work for anyone with 'iMonster.User' permissions, there is not anything complicated about how i amd doing them. let me know what versions you have and any erors your getting

also please list other plugins you are running.

Thanks

 

Getting the same thing, user wasnt getting any credit for kills with the correct permission. When I moved him to admin he got credit, and got credit when I moved him back down. When I reloaded the iMonster plugin it stopped giving him credit but gives me credit.

Currently running: Essentials, Permissions, iConomy, MonsterHunt, iMonster, MinecartManiaCore, MinecartManiaChestControl, MinecartManiaStation, iChat, MultiVerse, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, Achievements, Stats, HeroicDeath, GodMode, SpawnControl, LWC (think I got them all )

Also not getting any errors.

Running cb320, and all plugins should be up to date.

 

same issue as above, cb320, Permissions, Essentials, iConomy, iMonster, iChat atm. Except I am the admin and it doesn't give credit/error msg's at all. I'm using the correct casing, iMonster.User

 

it must be something in the new bukkit builds...let me compile with the new one and see what i can find out.

 

Great Everyone seems excited about getting this to work

 

Ok so here is the story...I compiled and tested with ever release of bukkit since 283 that i compiled it on last as well as fresh versions of iConomy and Permissions plugins...

it ABSOLUTLEY works in all versions with - 'iMonster.User' as a permission

It must be exactly like that as aparently the permissions plugin is case sensitive so the following will NOT work

- 'imonster.user'
- 'iMonster.user'
- 'imonster.User'
- 'iMonSter.UseR'
it must be

- 'iMonster.User'

In the next version release i will add checks to try and make it as easy as possible but currently the permissions plugin is forcing it to match the upper/lowercase of the permissions exactly.

if you have problems, please post your permissions file here so we can see what might be wrong, as well as the name of the user you are using to test.

Thanks,
Zero
