[WIP] Empires 2

This will be a complete Rework of this plugin that I started developing.

With some more experience in Java now I'm hoping it will be done allot smoother.

What is Empires:-

Empires is a mod that lets players create and attack other empires.​

It works a bit like a zone protection mod but is as i like to say "volitile".​

​

How it works:-

- Functional​

- Not implemented​

- Partially implemented​

- When a player joins a server it informs him that he or she may join a team via chat command.​

- They can then use this command to join an empire.​

- Until he or she does they cannot place or destroy cloth blocks. (Admin changeable)​

- The current plan works via chunks.​

​

Expanding your empire:-​

- A player places a cloth block to capture a chunk.​

- limitations on where block can be positioned to ensure fairplay​

- preventing players placing on top of wool​

- The colour of the cloth block determines which team this chunk has been captured for.​

- The blocks allong the edge of the chunk then turn into the same cloth type thus showing the border of the empire.​

- You can then go and capture any adjacent chunk to one you already own by the same means.​

- when you capture a chunk any edges that border another of your chunks will lose their cloth bock border and be replaced by (curently dirt) >.>​

- Once a junk has all 4 surrounding chunks it becomes protected and only players from this team can build or destroy there.​

​

Conquest:-​

- Destorying another Teams clothblock removes teh chunk from their territory.​

- You will not be able to do this if​

- You are not on a team.​

- the chunk you are in has 4 adjacent chunks by the same team as it (and is not your own).​

- it is the last chunk of a team.​

- your own team has no chunks​

- alliances?​

- (suggestions?)​

​

You can then place your own clothblock to capture the chunk.​

You will not be able to do this if-​

- you do not own an adjacent chunk. -edit- (possibly placing a diamond block beneath will allow you to without having an adjacent chunk)​

- you have not joined a team.​

- empire size limit (adjustable)​

- alliances?​

-(suggestions?)​

​

Features:-

- (everything above)​

- multiple spawns maybe?​

- permissions support (will most likely be how teams are decided and some other checks are made)​

-(anything i have missed or suggestions)​

​

-make certain areas produce richer in certain minerals or provide a slow stream of them (possibly) or other benefits and downsides to being in or out of your territory respectively
​

​

Status:-

- joining empire : done​

- capturing areas : 0%​

- uncapturing : 0%​

- protection of secure areas (areas with same empire areas surrounding on all 4 sides) : 0%​

- saving teams and captured areas : 0%​

- loading teams and captured areas on server start : 0%​

- multi world : 0%​

- settings : 0%​

- spawn system : 0%​

- visual borders : 0%​

- permissions support : 50% (permissions for all commands atm)​

​

ETA:-

Alpha : once capturing works​

Beta : once saving and loading on server on of works​

Submiting : once benefits, control and config are done​

​

Commands:-

<> = optional argument.
[] = required argument.

• /joinempire [empire] - joins an empire if not already in one.
• /leaveempire - leaves an empire if in one.
• /empire <player name> - without <> it checks your own empire, with <> it checks another

- replace [empire] section with empire name. (currently red, blue, green, yellow, pink, brown)​

​

Permissions:-

Superperms, Permissions, and OP systems supported. (works with groupmanager through the bridge)

• 'empires.join' - Grants access to the joinempire command.
• 'empires.leave' - Grants access to the leaveempire command.
• 'empires.moderator' - Grants access to and commands for moderators.
• 'empires.admin' - Grants access to anything.

I will expand this Thread to be more like the old one (just a little rushed atm).

(I am leaving the old one as I don't want to bump it seeing as this will only be based on the same idea and none of the same work (largely because I didn't like the code, mostly because I lost it all >.>))
