SkyPirates is all about freedom in vehicles, about doing what you never thought possible. In Minecraft, boats have long been considered flawed. Ungainly, slow to turn, and ultimately limited, boats are rarely used.

SkyPirates is the game changer.

Now, the sky is literally the limit, with boats becoming planes, land vehicles, and submarines.

Fly through the air with a swing of your arm, fly to the next building project, and swoop to a graceful landing. Experience the unbridled joy in just leaving the confines of the earth below.

Jump onto land, and watch as your boat smoothly transitions into an amphibious driving machine. Use for faster transportation, or simply for fun as you jump your way through the landscape.

Dive into the ocean as a submarine, moving silently through the squids, surfacing at will. Explore the ocean depths, build the next underwater city, and surprise other players by popping up next to them.

Hover over land and sea with the new hoverboat mode. Simply control with the arrow keys and float serenely over any obstacles in your path. Floats one block above the ground.

Glide down to the ground with the glide mode. Floats slowly down to the ground, useful when you don't want to simply drop from a great height.

Drill to great depths with the new drill mode. Get ores, endless stacks of stone and more underground... just be sure to watch out for lava!

Of course, permissions are included, with full integration with Nijikokun's Permissions plugin. Control who can have access to SkyPirates, who can fly and who can submerge. If you don't like Permissions, boats will be restricted to the ops of your server.

Turning speed is also increased, so no more painstakingly slow arcs to avoid that obstacle.

SkyPirates - the ultimate in transportation plugins.

Features:

• Six different modes of boats - amphibious, plane, hover, glide, drill and submarine.
• Easy to learn, arm-based movement controls.
• Permissions support.

Known issues:

• Due to missing Bukkit hooks, the player must be holding an item to right click and move down in flying or submarine modes.
• Also due to Bukkit issues, even if invincible permission is given, boats will still die on block collision. Nothing I can do to alleviate that at the moment, but rest assured, it will be fixed when possible!
• Currently, it can be hard to start moving on land from a still position. Just keep jumping and moving, and it'll kick in. I'll fix this issue when I can!

Controls:

SkyPirate is designed to be as easy to use as possible. To change modes, use the SkyPirates command detailed in the commands section of this post. If given the appropriate permissions, every time a player steps into a boat, the default mode will be enabled. Simply swing your arm to jump, and once on land, you will also be able to drive as normal.

Once in flying mode, use arm swings to fly up, and right clicks to head down. The boat controls are otherwise exactly the same. The only limitation, due to missing Bukkit hooks, is that one must be holding an item while right clicking to go down. An easy to learn control method, without breaking the flow of immersion.

While in submarine mode, the boat will automatically sink slowly towards the bottom. If given the infinite air permission (look below), you will never run out of air. To swim towards the surface, swing your arm in any direction. To drop faster, use right clicks.

Commands:

Code:

Please note: the '|' character means you can use the command before or after the
'|', and they'll do the same thing. IE. /sp m p is the same as
/skypirates mode plane.
/skypirates|skypi|sky plane|p - switches to plane mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky submarine|sub|s - switches to submarine mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky hoverboat|hover|h - switches to hoverboat mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky glider|g - switches to glider mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky drill|d - switches to drill mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky (anything) - for normal mode.
/skypirates|skypi|sky clear|c - clears all empty SkyPirates boats.
/skypirates|skypi|sky help - lists available modes.

Permissions:

Code:

skypirates.admin.invincible - stops damage to boats.
skypirates.admin.clear - allows access to the clear command.
skypirates.player.enable - enables default functions of SkyPirates. (jumping boat,
mode change command access)
skypirates.player.air - gives unlimited air while in submarine mode.
skypirates.player.changemode - allows a player to change modes.
skypirates.player.help - gives access to the help command
skypirates.modes.plane - allows a player to change mode to plane.
skypirates.modes.submarine - allows a player to change mode to submarine.
skypirates.modes.hoverboat - allows player to change mode to hoverboat.
skypirates.modes.glider - allows player to change mode to glider.
skypirates.modes.drill- allows player to change mode to drill.
skypirates.items.* - allows access to item abilities - detailed later in the post.
Possible items are: obsidian, snowblock, diamonds, coal, and helmets.
Use the names for specific items access.

Items:

Item abilities are special effects given to boats when certain items are held or used.

• Obsidian (passive) - for admins who don't want to give invincible permission lightly. Will grant the same effects as the skypirates.admin.invincible permission when held.
• Snowblock - right click with one in-hand to stop your boat and set throttle to 1x speed. Useful at high speeds!
• Helmet (passive) - for admins who don't want to give unlimited air underwater to everyone. If a helmet is worn while underwater, a player will get unlimited air.
• Coal (passive) - boosts jump height, fly height and hover height when held.
• Diamonds - left clicking with these held will boost throttle, right click will lower it. You can't jump, fly or swim up and down at the same time though!

Most major functionality is written by me, but people, either unknowingly or not, helped with the making of this plugin. Some credit must go to Afforess, some of whose Minecart Mania code I used as a starting point. The author of PickBoat too, for his damage boat code I used in an attempt to stop block collisions killing boats. The testers I pressganged into helping me deserve thanks, as does Redecouverte, whose boat turning and speed up code I adapted for my plugin. Lucagd, who came up with the idea for the name, wanted credit, so here it is.

It's been a great deal of fun working on this project. If you want more boat modes or other features, tell me! I'm always looking for great ideas, especially new item abilities.

 

can some one show me how your pressmisons is configured cause mine is screwy which is sadly effecting the workings of this plugin

actually permissions doesn't work at all for my server. note that i do have spells wands uptime interests all running

 

is it possible to have the controls changed in a config? like having E/X to fly up and down for example

 

To AnubisReturns: No, unfortunately that is impossible, as I cannot create listeners for key presses on your computer - I can only affect the server. To the permissions-troubled user: Could you post your permissions config.yml?

 

How do you get it on plane mode? I tried typing in /sp m p (which is probably wrong) but what is right?

P.S.

sorry to waste you time if i am

 

/sp plane

Be aware you need to have the boat start off in water or plane mode won't work right. You also need to be in the boat before typing the command.

 

Hmm i can't seem to figure something out. Some of the boats work fine but some are buggy. One of the boats when I /sp p, and click, it launches very high into the air then falls back down rather than stay in the air. it also cannot submerge when i try to /sp s. However the boat next to it works fine.

 

That is unusual :S. Can you reproduce it for multiple boats?

 

I was able to reproduce it. It was as Den said.

If I place the boat on land, they will not work as intended. If they were placed in water then parked on land, they will work properly. This makes setting up my skyport tricky :/

 

If I don't use my other Plugins on the server, SkyPirates works, but if I do use the other Plugin, no /sp commands works...

I use these Plugins: AntiBuild, ArrowTurrets, Elevators, Essentials, EssentialsBan, EssentialsHelp, EssentialsHome, EssentialsSpawn, EssentialsTele, EssentialsWarp, Factions, iConomy, MonsterHunt, Permissions, SimpleShop, WarpGate, WorldEdit and SkyPirates-.-'

Using Win7 32 Bits, if that helps

 

I've been trying to get this to work, and am experiencing the same issues. The logs show that the plugin is loaded and there is also a message saying that permissions is not setup properly so all users can use all commands. However, no commands produce any results from the plugin. The logs just state that all sp commands are unknown.

2011-02-18 17:31:54 [SEVERE] [SkyPirates]: Nijikokuns' Permissions plugin isn't loaded, everyone can use all features.

I'll try that. Thanks!!

 

Still looking into permissions issues. However, can you guys please test this JAR for the super fast flying up bug? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6701575/SkyPirates.jar May be fixed, I haven't been able to reproduce it at least .

Actually, can the person with the permissions issue retry as well?

 

The bug is fixed, but since I installed the patch, the backup of my server with the command / save-all does not work anymore ...
And as soon as I put the old version the backup working again.

 

Could you create light around the boat in submarine mode? Or allow us to hold a torch or something and give the same effect?

 

Guess who's building the Delphinus from Skys of Arcadia. Thanks for the plugin.

 

I had done all what you explain but i got an error

You need the new version of craftbukkit from jenkins.lukegb.com (build 51)

 

looking at this makes me want mine cart cars for my RP, ones that can only be used by the owner.

making those long walks through the city streets not so long with a user controllable Mine CAR. maybe i will try that next.... i would rather have a Mine cart be a car than a boat, i would also want the Car to not be able to climb one block up, but instead need "road" (half steps) to go up hill.

OMG i just thought of a wicked awsome idea!! i should make a Minecraft venice!!! with water roads and crap! though it would be more like water 7. as long as i could make boats unbreakable via world collision.

 

I have full command over my server, (* in permissions) yet commands do not work.
/sp help does nothing, nor do the others

Chance

 

Please post craftbukkit build, server log and permissions config.yml.

 

Awesome! Maybe make it so if you left-click with tnt it launches one, and right-clicking makes it drop one, so you can make tanks and bombers! Or if you hold an arrow, you can make it shoot arrows.

 

Awesome idea! I shall implement when I have time - still have to update MonsterTamer first.

Could someone test this - added preliminary arrow/tnt shooting support. Instructions for testing: have the permission skypirates.items.arrow and try rightclicking while in boat. Report results. Have permission skypirates.planes.tnt. Switch to plane mode, fly up a bit, right click with tnt. Report results.

Has anyone tested this?

 

i have AutoRepair, Essentials, GroupManager with the Fake Permissions, WorldEdit, and WorldGuard running on my server. When I try to use your plugin and use /sp command, its wanting to use the Super Pickaxe from one of the other plugins. Is there a way you would be able to change this command shotcut to like /skyp or something like that so its more specific to your plugin and prevent his from happening with any other updates?

 

The command is /sp or its /skypi (anything).

 

Thanks, that does work wonderfully, awesome!

 

Can you test the arrows/tnt from the earlier post?

 

I would if Minecraft.net wasnt down. Cant even connect to a localhost server. So dumb

 

I've got the same problem. Notch is working on his Website atm. I hope this will be fixed in a few hours.

 

I tested it as an admin, so didn't mess with permissions. TNT seems to spawn a tnt block as if you had dropped it with q. Sometimes it would fall next to me and I'd pick it up, so at first I thought it was just giving me a block in my inventory. When I managed to avoid picking the tnt up mid-air, it would fall to the ground in pick-uppable form (a la "q" key). About 2 times out of 100 I heard explosions soon after, but it might have been a creeper.

Arrows seemed to work ok when I managed to not right-click on the boat and dismount. Sometimes I managed to shoot the boat and blow it to pieces.

 

i'm now getting this error
