[INACTIVE][FUN] LavaSurvival v1.0.2 - Survive against the lava! [677]

LavaSurvival: (Tested against Build 677)
Version: v1.0.2

LavaSurvival is a plugin that allows the people on a server to play lava survival. It creates an area surrounded with walls, in which lava spawns and "eats" its way through air (can be turned off) and ground. It will spread and multiply until it has taken over everything or until you die or win. There are several game modes to choose from. In these game modes, the players have to run (actually dig) away from the lava while fulfilling another task (such as: surviving over time, reaching a certain destination, collecting things in the ground or pushing other players into the lava).
LS also supports the Permissions and the iConomy plugin.

I have stopped with plugin development.
Feel free to use any of my code

I'm working on something new and would need your help if you know anything about the Bukkit Creature.setTarget() method: -->Thread

Note:
If you want your inventory back, don't forget to use "/ls leave" before you disconnect from the server.

Hint:
If your games lag too much, try making the area smaller and turning Air_To_Lava to false...
Smaller areas don't have to mean less fun

Features:

• Create an area in which you can play lava survival
• Choose between different game modes:
  normal, fastest, strongest, agilest, push, spleef (for descriptions, see below)
• Choose between different characters (game mode: fastest)
• If your server is running on a good computer, sit and watch how huge areas slowly turn into lava ^^ (Air_To_Lava=false)
• Find out who of your friends is the best "lava survivor" (game mode: strongest)
• Who's the best in evading lava and finding special blocks underground? (game mode: agilest)
• Who's the best in pushing other people around ^^? (game mode: push)
• Fun

Download Version 1.0.2

Github

Getting started:

1. Roughly but completely read this thread
   
2. Download the .jar and put it in your plugin folder
3. Add the permission nodes (see below) to your Permissions plugin or just add all the admins to the server OP list
   
4. Optional: Look into the LS Properties (see below) and check if its the way you want
   
5. Start the server, make an area and get started
   

Permissions:
LavaSurvival supports the Permissions plugin (tested with 2.5.4) and has the following nodes:
lavasurvival.play - allows players to use the commands: help, join, leave
lavasurvival.host - allows player to use the commands: check, remove, refresh, start, stop
lavasurvival.creator - allows player to use the commands: reset, area, area save

If you don't use the Permissions plugin, all players have lavasurvival.play and the OP's of a server have lavasurvival.host and lavasurvival.creator

Commands:
Admin Commands:

• /ls area [height] [length] - creates the game area, in which the lava will spread
• /ls area save - saves your area the way it is right now
  
• /ls refresh - restores the inner blocks of the area, so you can play again
• /ls reset - deletes your game area and restores all blocks to the way they were bevor
  
• /ls check - checks your area for existing underground lava
• /ls remove - deletes the underground lava
  
• /ls start [game mode] - starts the game according to the mode
• Optional in normal : /ls go normal <delay time> - with <delay time> in seconds
  
• Optional in strongest : /ls go strongest <delay time> - with <delay time> in minutes
  
• /ls stop - stops the game and stops the lava from multiplying, it then behaves like normal lava

Player Commands:

• /ls join - if a game area exists, a player gets teleported to its lobby and is added to the 'player list' (inventory and previous location are saved)
  
• /ls join here - same as normal join, but you don't get teleported to the lobby and can continue doing something
• /ls leave - leaves the game or the lobby, teleports you to where you were as you joined and restores your inventory
  
• /ls leave spawn - same as normal leave, but get teleported to spawn point
  
• /ls [char] - in game mode 'fastest' you can choose from different characters
  
• /ls help - the help, for more information

Game modes:
Normal:
In game mode 'normal' there is no goal. Lava just spawns and spreads... You can neither win nor loose.

Fastest:
In game mode 'fastest' the players have to reach the "golden treasure" and mine as many golden blocks out of it, as there are players in the game. They have to do this, bevor the lava reaches the treasure. The treasure is a layer of golden blocks deep in the ground (Y-Coord. = 10). You can't miss it, if you dig down.
To make it a little easier, in this game mode, the players can choose from the following characters:
Waterboy (w), Toolboy (t), Lazuliboy (l), TNTboy (tnt)

Strongest:
In game mode 'strongest' you compete against other players. The simple question is: "Who can survive longer?". If you are the last living player, you win. But you can also win together, if either 3 or 2 players just survive long enough. All players get the same items in the same time periods, so all players have the same chance of winning.

Agilest:
In game mode 'agilest' all players have to collect 10 golden blocks together. These special golden blocks are found scattered all around the whole area (randomly). Also randomly scattered around the area, are the lava blocks. The goal of this mode is to evade the lava blocks and gather the golden blocks. After playing this mode for a while, you are going to love underground caves ^^. (Hint: Never dig straight downwards, if there is lava under you, you're doomed)

Push:
In game mode 'push' the players have to push each other into lava. All players start on a cut off pyramid in the middle of the area. The lava slowly starts raising from the bottom of the pyramid. The goal of every player is to push all other players into the lava, while not touching the lava himself. You have one "stick of hope" in your inventory, which when used, teleports you back to the top of the pyramid.

Spleef:
In game mode 'spleef' LS generates a very simple Spleef arena. Players can play a simple version of Spleef. For more general information about the game "Spleef" itself, go here.

DM and TDM:
(will take a while...but coming!)
The modes Deathmatch and Teamdeathmatch are going to be the ultimate combination of my plugins: BigLife, Weapons (coming soon) and LavaSurvival


LS Properties:
When LS ist started for the first time, it creates a folder in the plugin directory. In this folder there is the "LavaSurvival.txt" in which all properties area stored. So far, there are 5 settings available:

• Air_To_Lava -- set to 'true' or 'false' -> regulates whether the lava also "eats" the air or not
• Difficulty -- set to 'easy', 'normal' or 'hard' -> I think no explaining is necessary
• Border_TypID -- set to any block id -> this is the Block ID which your area border is made of
• Spleef_Ground_ID -- set to any block id -> this is the Block ID which your spleef ground is made of
• Use_iConomy -- set to 'true' or 'false' -> turns iConomy support on or off
• iConomy_Reward_Winner -- set to any positiv number -> defines how much iConomy-money a player gets when winning

Good to know:

• If you delete your servers world directory, because you want a new world, also delete the "dat" directory from LS (it contains data from the old world and is now useless, the plugin will make a new one by itself)
• In game mode 'agilest' in LS v1.0.2 it is enough to mine the golden blocks, you do not have to pick them up
• Clemens recommends Difficulty "normal", because it is the only tested difficulty setting
• You can also use /ls go [game mode] instead of /ls start [game mode]
• If you win the round in strongest, push or spleef you get +1 point in the scoreboard system (scores.txt) and additional money if iConomy support is on
• When creating an area, make sure there is enough space (air) under the lobby (the glass thingy). There should be no big tree or anything in the way between the lobby and the ground, otherwise all players could get teleported into the sky, fall and die
• In all game modes where lava spreads and multiplies, this plugin is hard for the hardware and uses a lot of RAM (especially when you use big areas). The reason for this is, because the lava spread algorithm is almost like a simulation program. There area many things that have to be calculated and checked.
  Less hard for your hardware however are the game modes push and spleef

This is my first plugin and it isn't finished even a bit. It still needs a lot of work. Please let me know if there are any errors and I will try to fix them. If you have any ideas on how this plugin could get better, or if you have any requests on what I should add or remove, please also let me know...
Especially inform me about numbers (Are there too less of those? Too many of these? Don't get enough blub in xy seconds? ...). I can't test things with numbers very good and don't have enough friends to simulate a LS game with many players. So tell me if things are balanced or imbalanced.

Also feel free to use my code, just don't forget to mention me if you publish something

Thanks to Edward Hand who helped me with an essential problem and to all the people who motivate me and make me keep working on my plugins.

You want to help support LavaSurvival and help with its development, but don't know how???
-->Simple:
Just make a video of you and your friends having fun with LS on youtube and send me the link or tell me about bugs and imbalances you have discovered or buy me a coffee so I can work harder: coffee for Clemens

 

I made a section of my map with lava survival, not the whole thing. I believe there is a parameter to set the size (and height) of the area.

 

yah i figuerd that out, thanks

 

whenever i join i spawn way!!! above the entire thing and fall to my doom and im level 100 in levelcraft health... i rarely take damage, only very powerful things work

 

Can someone please Remake this plugin? I enjoyed it a lot and so did everyone i played with.

 

R.I.P Best Plugin ever

 

aww i really liked this plugin

 

OK, nobody wanted to remake it, so I tried on this. I added already iConomy 5 support, and a little bit more. I'm going to add the modes TDM and DM, well, I'll try I made already a new Thread, but no download until the modes are finished. I tested it on the newest Bukkit build, and it worked

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/remake-fun-lavasurvival-survive-against-the-lava-953.25732/

 

thanks so MUCH THIS IS AWESOME.
Thanks heaps!
This works perfect. But maybe make a block that is immune to corrosion by lava, i dont know, just a suggestion

 

Can I have your Java Codes in this plugins? Im having trouble making a plugin about PVP arena, please? Thanks
