Included Modules
* Fix undroppables: fix drops for stairs, glass (don't use your hands - ouch), boats & bookshelves (1.8 stairs included)
* Gold tools (basic): gold tools have a chance of dropping the complete block for grass, ice & glowstone.
* Gold tools (smelt): gold tools have a chance of mining an ingot directly from ores.
* Ore Extraction: using the usual tools, ingots are ripped out of ores, leaving the stone behind.
* Leaf overhaul: adds leaf drops (apples, cocoa, leaves, sticks & a very small chance of golden apple).
* Undead Chaos: beware the night! Zombies & skeletons rise again and even players rise back from the dead (player deaths spawn more zombies/skeletons).
* and more...

Why would you have to do that? All you'd need to do is assign each potential drop a required group that you need to be in to get it.

 

@Celtic Minstrel
i used the serverside /give command! (on 1.6). I disabled al plugins for testing it (i told that already).
Does it work for u at 1.7?
@Zarius sorry that this offtopic gets out of control ^^

 

Yea, that's probably a better way to do it. Like

Code:

    Miner:
        SAND:
            - tool: ALL
              drop: Sand
              quantity: 2
    Builder:
        SAND:
            - tool: ALL
              drop: Sand
              quantity: 1

 

As far as I know, the vanilla /give command has never worked for giving items with data values; however, even if it did, leaves as items did not have data values in 1.6.

...what's wrong with the way he already did it? That is, each drop has a list of groups, and you need to be in one of those groups to get that drop.

@Zarius – One possible pitfall of using groups this way is that if you require (for example) someone to be in the Moderator group to get a drop, it would make sense for people in the Admin group (which inherits from Moderator) to get the same drop even if it's not explicitly specified. It's certainly possible to just explicitly specify it, but what if there is an inheritance chain of 50 groups and you want to give permissions to the third from the bottom and also to all above it?

 

Howdy m5k - check out the changelog, I added basic permission groups support a few days ago in version 0.9.6 and extended this to include lists in version 0.9.7 (but broke leaf decay events I think, looking to fix that after this weekend).

As mentioned earlier up in the thread I am also considering expanding this to include the "include-configs" so we can have individual files for each group (or list of groups) for ease of separation.

I'm thinking of moving the OtherBlocksContainer structure from just a list of block types to a list of groups each containing a list of block types (with a default group for 'no group') - this would be a tad more efficient when using lots of groups as the main compareTo loops would only need to check through the relevant group blocks (except like leafdecay which could just check the default group as groups have no meaning for that). Still trying to consider all the implications.

Regarding inheritance I don't think there is a command for me to say "check if player is in this group or inherits this group". A way around this could be a "custompermissionkey:" option where we check for the permission "otherblocks.customkey.<mykey>" - this would allow for the natural permissions inheritance to be used.

 

Ah, the only mention about per-group drops was in the 0.9.6 changelog, that's why I couldn't find it . Thanks, time to spend a few hours transferring from cookiemonster and dropedit to your plugin.

Also, quick question. Would this work or do I need to separate the groups?

Code:

     - tool: DIAMOND_PICKAXE
       drop: GOLD_ORE
       quantity: 1-3
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Miner, Tunneler

Also, is there iconomy support, or any plans for it?

 

I thought the OtherBlocksContainer structure represented just a single possible drop? But if you mean replacing HashMap<String,OtherBlocksContainer> with HashMap<String,HashMap<String,OtherBlocksContainer>> then I see no significant issues with that.

I'm not 100% sure if Permissions exposes an API to check inheritance or tracks, but it does have these two inheritance mechanisms, so if there's no API exposing them it might be worth asking the Permissions team to add some.

You need to enclose lists in square brackets: [Miner, Tunneler]

 

Alright, thanks. Also, is there a simple way to make every group except one get the drops, while the rest get nothing? Like, is there a exceptpermissiongroup thing?
For example I want everyone to get nothing from coal ore, but miners get the ore. I currently have this (which is wrong)

Code:

     COAL_ORE:
     - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
       drop: COAL
       quantity: 1
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Miner

     - tool: ANY
       drop: AIR
       quantity: 0
       chance: 100

And another thing, what's the correct structure to get many different item drops from one source at different percentages? I currently have this and it causes errors

Code:

     CREATURE_SLIME:
     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_HELMET
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_CHESTPLATE
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_BOOTS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_LEGGINGS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

I do apologize for having so many questions, it's just that it's 4:35 am and I've just finished writing a 472-line long config file and I really want everything working before I go to sleep >_<

 

No exception for groups yet but that's a good idea.

Can't see a problem with that config, what error do you get? Also, would be interested in checking out what config s people are coming up with

 

Let's say I want creepers to drop goodies, but not if people are killing them with bows. Is this how I do it?

Code:

    CREATURE_CREEPER:
        - tool: ANY
          drop: SULPHUR
          quantity: 1-2
          chance: 100
        - tool: ANY
          drop: DYE
          color: GREEN
          quantity: 1
          chance: 50
        - tool: ANY
          drop: DIAMOND
          quantity: 1
          chance: 5
        - tool: BOW
          drop: NOTHING
          quantity: 1
          chance: 100

Or do I have to specifically list every weapon in those top three loots? (Any_Sword, etc.)

Ahhh, I see. Answered my own question.

"tool: ANY" will allow the bow to get whatever that drop is, and it doesn't matter if the BOW/NOTHING is first or last in the list. So, yes, the weapons do have to be listed.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Check out the toolexcept option.

 

Ahhh, even better!

Sidenote of little importance: Version 1.7 Shears are missing from the Material and Creature Values page. Those are a configurable tool though, right? Considering adding it to my config for noobs that just kill them with shears. LOL

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yup, just use SHEARS. pistons should work too, I posted a link to the official bukkit list a page or so ago, will update the wiki later.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the quick replies, very much appreciated by the way.

Another question for ya, since you had the spider reference in the wiki... heh

If I put CREATURE_SLIME as a drop of all the normal critters, what size slime will be spawned? Is there some way I can specify tiny, small, etc?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You know, I've not really tested them. Someone else had them in a config but don't know if there is a way to pick the size. Will look into it.

 

Very kind of you, thanks. Maybe the Internal Entity ID has something to do with it? ( 55 )

Not at the moment, it doesn't anyway...

Ok, I seem to have come upon another bug. Sheep, drops, and slimes.

Code:

    CREATURE_SHEEP:
        - tool: [ANY_SWORD, SHEARS]
          drop: WOOL
          color: WHITE
          quantity: 1-4
          chance: 100
        - tool: ANY_AXE
          drop: WOOL
          color: WHITE
          quantity: 0-2
          chance: 100
        - tool: ALL
          drop: CREATURE_SLIME
          quantity: 1
          chance: 100

According to this, if I kill a sheep with any sword, or shears, I'd get wool 1-4 and slime 1. But, in-game the sword kills give me 1 wool every time, and no slime. (This appears to be standard vanilla behavior.) Tested this on 30 sheep kills (spawnmob 10 x 3).

Also of note, there are no errors on load, or as the sheep are slain.

Hmmm... Maybe because slimes only spawn in low light under level 16?

Is there any differentiation between wild and tamed wolves? I know iConomy can penalize players for killing tamed wolves, but I was thinking it'd be nice to have different results here as well. (A "Kill a tamed wolf, get a bone back" sort of thing.)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

What I want to find out is how do I make a group get one drop with one tool, while everyone else gains nothing, no matter the tool.
Say, I wan't Miners to get coal from coal ore when its mined with any pickaxe but I want everyone else not get a drop. How do I do that?
EDIT: Figured it out, though it doesn't seem to work. Here's what I've got, could you tell me what's wrong?

Code:

     LOG:
     - tool: WOOD_AXE
       drop: LOG
       quantity: 1
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Lumberjack

     - tool: STONE_AXE
       drop: LOG
       quantity: 1
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Lumberjack

     - tool: IRON_AXE
       drop: LOG
       quantity: 1
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Lumberjack

     - tool: DIAMOND_AXE
       drop: WOOD
       quantity: 4-8
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Lumberjack

     - tool: GOLD_AXE
       drop: COAL
       quantity: 1
       damage: 1
       chance: 100
       permissiongroup: Lumberjack

     - tool: ALL
       drop: WOOD
       permissiongroup: [Default, Gladiator, Sage, Farmer, Fisherman, Merchant, Locksmith, Hunter, Innkeeper, BlackSmith, Miner, Crusader, PaladinSwordsman, PaladinArcher, Page, Fox, Thief, Tunneler, DarkArcher, Slayer]

Everyone always get default drops, though log shows no errors.

 

By using the following to handle LOG drops, the AutoPlant plugin stops working.

Code:

#    LOG:
#        - tool: ANY
#          toolexcept: GOLD_AXE
#          drop: LOG
#          quantity: 1
#          chance: 100
#        - tool: GOLD_AXE
#          drop: LOG
#          quantity: 2-3
#          chance: 100

Well, when I remove the hashmarks, anyway...

 

@Stormbow
maybe try the

 

Good thinking, but the plugin defaults to "lowest" and I didn't change that at all.

 

Slime size is a number, so it would probably be simple to do. Speaking of which, is it possible to specify colour for sheep spawns, tamedness for wolf spawns, poweredness for creeper spawns, saddledness for pig spawns, etc?

No, that would not have anything to do with it.

It wouldn't be this, but if you have mobs disabled globally in the server.properties then they would not be able to spawn at all.

I don't remember if it was implemented yet, but try CREATURE_WOLF@ANGRY/WILD/TAME.

 

Don't think I answered the iconomy question - yes there is support for this (and Boseconomy) and there are a few examples in the sample config file (which wasn't included in the last version for some reason I've fixed that for version 0.9.8).

Yes, you can use WOLF@TAME, WOLF@NEUTRAL or WOLF@ANGRY - I've made this more clear in the wiki.

New version - fixed leaf decay issue and added permissiongroupexcept (list of groups this drop "won't" apply to). Beta only because I had a couple of things planned for 0.9.8 that are almost working but not quite (everything else seems to work fine, let me know if there are any issues).

Oh, and guys - please use the spoiler tag if your example is more than 6-10 lines long

 

Okay, I've exhausted every possibility, could you give me an example of how would a config look for this:
Miner mines coal ore with any pickaxe, gets coal
Anyone else mines coal ore with anything, gets nothing.

I currently have this:

Code:

     COAL_ORE:
     - tool: ANY
       drop: NOTHING
       permissiongroupexcept: Miner

     - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
       drop: COAL
       permissiongroup: Miner

And it always drops the ore, even if you're not a Miner.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Looks like that should work, I'll need to test it out later. In the meantime try:

Code:

     COAL_ORE:
     - tool: ANY
       drop: NOTHING

     - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
       drop: COAL
       permissiongroup: Miner

 

Nope, doesn't work. I got the drop while I had the Lumberjack group. This is the last thing I need until I can release this to the main server. I'm so psyched, I can't wait >_<

 

Does the "drop: NOTHING" bit work by itself? (ie. take out the drop: COAL for miners bit and make sure nothing is dropping). Otherwise I have to assume the permissiongroup option isn't working properly I'll need to put more debug messages in (eg. for verbosity high or something) so we can test this easier.

 

Okay, I'm an idiot. I didn't have the permission for the plugin after adding usepermissions:true. It works perfectly with the config you specified. I'm terribly sorry for the confusion. I do have to say, it's the second night trying to catch you online here. Went to sleep at 6am yesterday, now it's 3am. Damn timezones make me dizzy. I'll test out the full config and post the results.

EDIT: I can say that both permissiongroupexcept and permissiongroup settings work fine. The problem was, I didn't add "usepermissions: true" to the config before. If that's not done those two settings will be obviously ignored.
Again, sorry for the mess, your plugin is now replacing the core of our server with a ton of additional features. Kudos!
