[INACTIVE][MECH] PowerArmour v0.2.1 - Supercharge your armour abilities! [617]

YES!!! Thanks for the update!

 

Does the monsterproof work?

 

I would assume it does. Why don't you try it and see?

 

Looking forward to 617 update

 

Hi all Im new here, any chance for an update for the new v1.4 server ?
Best regards

 

Also hoping to convince the author to update for 617+

 

Can you create a version for 617 please.

 

Oddly enough, no changes were needed to the code - just needed to be rebuilt. Version 0.1.3.1 is absolutely IDENTICAL to 0.1.3, but now supports Minecraft Beta 1.4

Edit: no love?

 

Cyklo, any chance of a config file revisit at some point? I've seen a couple of clones pop up as of late, and they're trying to expand upon the abilities offered by individual parts of armour as well as the buffs offered by entire sets.

One thing I did like the look of in "Armor" (sp.) was the ability to set cactii damage and the like, so an admin can set iron armour to not take damage from those deserty green bastards. It would be nice having a boolean list after each full armour set, allowing the admin to control what special abilities each offers.

Edit
Pfft, plenty of love. Just sprinkled with the occasional ungrateful bugger who begs for an updated release then runs off with it, with not even an utterance of thanks.

 

You mean like, instead of using the default predefined combinations, creating your own? Something like:

Code:

powerarmour:
  CACTUSPROOF:
    head: IRON_CHESTPLATE
    protections:
    - DAMAGE_CONTACT
  WATERPROOF:
    head: PUMPKIN
  ELEMENTAL:
    hand: GOLD_SWORD
    feet: IRON_CHESTPLATE
    protections:
    - DAMAGE_FIRE
    - DAMAGE_LAVA
    - DAMAGE_SUFFOCATION
    - DAMAGE_FALL
    - DAMAGE_DROWNING

I'm rolling with the "DAMAGE_" syntax because I'm going to have similar functionality to OtherBlocks, whereby you could use "CREATURE_SKELETON" as a protection and therefore selectively choose individual mobs.

 

Exactly like that, although a list of boolean would probably be more user friendly (even if a bit of a painful configuration change).

 

Does this work with chain armor? Would like to make the items rare drops instead of easily crafted.

 

Umm, it didnt work for me, I tried all possible solutions and my server log didnt even say anything about Powerarmour plugin like it does for all my other plugins. Does this plugin not work with 1.4_01?
But this seems like an awesome plugin, I really want to make Chainmail like an ultimate armour but I havent altered the config file, still trying to get it to work.

 

I would LOVE to use this plugin, but I really need permissions support to be added Are you still planning on adding support for Permissions? A simple 'powerarmor.use' would be fine with me...

 

When there is permissions support built into Bukkit, yes. Not before.

 

Hm? The plugin is called Permissions:

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...ith-real-multiworld-permissions-602-617.5974/

And it's the most widely used permissions system available.

The reason I (and I'm sure most others) would like this, is because I only want to allow a certain "class" on my server to have these abilities, as other classes have separate abilities.

 

Exactly, a plugin, not built-in functionality. There have been a lot of problems and arguing with the Permissions plugins in the last few weeks, and it's not something I am willing to get embroiled in. More so, I don't want to introduce 3rd party dependencies which can introduce breakages that are nothing to do with Bukkit changes.

Once the functionality is native to Bukkit, I shall look at implementing it.

 

+1

Also, this plug works exceptionally well if you have a stable economy and want to introduce 'magic' - I have gold armour set to be invincible when the user has a full set, but the stuff takes damage so quickly they have to almost constantly repair it, so only a user with a sizable wallet can maintain their invincibility.

The Zelda game on the Wii gave me this idea, with the red/gold 'cash-powered' armour.

 

@cyklo Will this work with chain armor?

 

It should work just fine.

 

Are you telling me it doesn't work, or have you not tried? Because I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Alright, an overdue update - 0.2! Note that THIS WILL BREAK YOUR EXISTING CONFIGURATIONS.

The reason for the breakages is to make the plugin far more flexible in the future. The configuration file now consists of blocks that look like this:

Code:

powerarmour:
  FEATHERWEIGHT:
    armourdamage: true
    equipment:
      feet: LEATHER_BOOTS
      hand: FEATHER
    protection:
      - DAMAGE_FALL

Also note that there are no longer any inbuilt special armour types. However, the supplied config.sample.yml file contains implementations of all the existing armour types for you to customize immediately, and to help you get started configuring!

The available values to put in the "protection:" section are:

Code:

DAMAGE_ALL
DAMAGE_FIRE
DAMAGE_LAVA
DAMAGE_ENTITY_ATTACK
DAMAGE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION
DAMAGE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION
DAMAGE_CONTACT
DAMAGE_DROWNING
DAMAGE_FALL
DAMAGE_SUFFOCATION

In the future, this will let me add specific creatures and other abilities (e.g. friendly mobs)

Awesome, Cyklo. Will be giving this a go in a bit!

 

Nice MOD !
Would it be possible to add the following effects :
- destroy (custom) blocks on fall (with a certain type of armor - like the heavy ones) ?
- arrow protection
- light emitter (I like your idea)
- super jump ?

And maybe some ideas like :
- "blowing" power : this one would eject any monsters/entities/players away from the caster ?
- "super blowing" power : this one would destroy any sand/gravel/soulsand around (like 4 blocks around) and eject any monsters/entities/players away ?
- "burst" power : this one would destroy any block/entities (other than bedstone) around (like 4 blocks around) and eject+damage any monsters/players away ?
These powers would be used by right clicking in air with the configured items ?

Also, would it be possible to artificially damage items which are configured for the waterproof effect ?

 

I really, really like these two. Giving Iron armour the ability to transform smoothstone into cobblestone when landing would be an epic visual effect. Same with breaking glass, etc.

 

0.2.1 is out, with a little change to test the water for non-damage activities. I've added an "ENTITY_TARGET" type to the available list of protections. So here's an example:

Code:

powerarmour:
    STEALTH:
        equipment:
            hand: SLIME_BALL
        protection:
          - ENTITY_TARGET

So long as you are holding a slime ball (a repellent), entities can't see you and won't try to fight you. However, if they see you without the slime ball in hand they will attack you - even if you equip it after! So take one with you when you go on midnight treks across the countryside...

 

Ho, I also forget the cactus protection... I'm not sure you've implemented it.

 

DAMAGE_CONTACT is exactly that.

 

CACTUSPROOF:
armourdamage: true
equipment:
head: IRON_HELMET
body: IRON_CHESTPLATE
legs: IRON_LEGGINGS
feet: IRON_BOOTS
protection:
- DAMAGE_CONTACT

:3

 

Would you ever implement permissions?

 

I've spoke to my players, and pretty much everyone loved the idea of the smoothstone-to-cobble change when falling from a height (wearing iron armour). For dirt/sand*/glass, it could destroy the block the player lands on. Another cool suggestion was that when wearing iron armour, you don't get knocked back when fighting enemies. What do you think of all these, Cyklo? Any chance of 'heavyweight' and 'blockbuster' armour features?

Few people asking about a gold helmet providing light, but I've seen the other 'hand held' light plugs, and they're horrifically buggy.

Edit
* Apparently, breaking sand blocks makes no sense, and players should get sucked down one block when landing on it instead, requiring them to jump out of the block they're stuck in before they can continue walking.
