Inactive [INFO/MISC] OreDetector v0.2 - Finding ores & dungeons easily [1240]

OreDetector - Finding ores & dungeons easily:
Version: v0.2
Download: Download latest version here
Older versions: v0.1

• Is your diamond tool broken again? Or you need some lapislazuli for your dye?
• Are you sick of digging over hundrets of blocks until finding some pieces of rare ore?
• Haven't found a dungeon for weeks or not at all?
• Does it gnaw at your conscience when using /i or /give commands to obtain ores of your choice?

OreDetector helps you a bit without cheating!





Features:

• Detects COAL, IRON, GOLD, DIAMOND, LAPISLAZULI, REDSTONE or MOSSY COBBLESTONE nearby the player and sends him a hint message
• Player can switch detection on/off, change detection sensitivity and select the ores to get notified for
• Permissions support (but not required!)

How to use

Just move around below the surface and you will get notified when ore is around. By default detection for Iron, Gold, Diamond, Lapislazuli and Mossy Cobblestone is enabled.

The notification contains a hint how many block between you and the ore are. So you still need to dig around a bit to find it!

Note: You won't get repeating notifications for the same ore block, if the distance to it is not changing. Just move around if notification stops and try to get closer to the ore.
Try around a bit. You will get a feeling for it

Not all ores types are found on every elevation. See the following graph if you like to learn more about ore occurences and their typical elevation:

Commands

• /odrange [none|low|normal|far]
  • none = Detection off
  • low|normal|far = Detection sensitivity
• /odtype [c|i|g|d|r|l|m|*]
  • c = Coal
  • i = Iron
  • g = Gold
  • d = Diamond
  • r = Redstone
  • l = Lapislazuli
  • m = Mossy Cobblestone
  • * = ALL
  • You may combine the letters as you like, e.g. use /odtype gdl to find Gold, Diamond and Lapislazuli only

Warning: Enabling all types together isn't recommended if you actually want to find rare ores. You will get notified on the first occurance of any ore you selected. As Coal ist the most common ore and is around you at any time, you will get notified for coal at first, even if there are diamonds e.g. two blocks onward. So you have to mine the coal first, to get notified for the diamonds then. Enabling detection for the rare ores only (or these you are urgently looking for) and disabling the other ones is more effective then.



Installation

Just Copy OreDetector.jar in your plugin directory and reload your server or plugin manager.


Configuration

You may configure OreDetector by altering the config.yml file within the plugins/OreDetector folder. It looks like:

Code:

default:
    range: NORMAL
    types: GDLM
permission:
    fallbackop: true

Possible properties are:

• default:
  • range: [NONE|LOW|NORMAL|FAR]
    • Defines the initial detection range for new players
  • types: [C|I|G|D|R|L|M]
    • Defines the initial ores to be detected for new players
    • Each letters stands for its corresponding ore (see command /odtype)
    • You may combine the letters, e.g. GDL for Gold, Diamond and Lapislazuli
• permission:
  • fallbackop: [true|false]
    • Defines how OreDetector should handle permissions if no supported Permission plugin is found. If set to true, only players mentioned in ops.txt may use the plugin. If set to false, ALL players may use OreDetector.

Permissions

Permission nodes for Permissions plugin by TheYeti.
Last tested version: v3.1.4

Hi I've tried to run these command directly from the server console. But I get the following "error".
>odrange far
12:04:51 [INFO] /odrange [none|low|normal|far]
But in game it's possible to change the range. I need this support to change the range randomly over a shell script. Please can you fix this issue?

Greetings

 

@madcad This is no issue The commands and their effects are user specific. Do you like to tell me what is your intention?

 

Hehe Ok Then I have a feature wish.

I want to change this globally for the whole server over a shell script. This script send commands to the server over netcat to a bukkit telnet plugin. So I'm also able to give randomly money to the current online players (essentials economy system). And exactly the same I want for your nice plugin. So that every player can't decide about the scanning range and the range should be changed randomly e.g.. every 15 minuets.

 

Can i have the source to this please?

Nevermind, ill just do some looking around.

 

This was working fine with CraftBukkit 1.1-R1, but it no longer loads with -R6. But maybe you already know that...

 

running CraftBukkit version git-bukkit-1.2.4-r1.0-b2126jnks (mc 1.2.4)

I was unable to get the ore detector to load. I copied the jar to my plugins folder

Error was 17:57:27 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\OreDetector.jar' in folder 'plugins'
org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bu
kkit/event/player/PlayerListener

Theres other errors from here on.

 

M8 great plugin i would love to see it working under 1.2.4/5
can we help?

 

Because this plugin seems to be dead and i was unable to find similar plugin, i made my own, you can try it...

 

Why won't it create a folder for it in my plugins folder? I have installed many plugins and have never had a problem before. I put the jar file in my plugins folder, but it did not create a OreDetector folder after I restarted my server.
