[WIP] RCAchievements - You never saw Achievements like this before!

​

Mine 1000 diamonds and hit grass blocks 100 times sounds boring?​

It is!​

Now you can create real Achievements with multiple requirements and events chained together to create the epic and fun Achievement experience you know from other MMOs and Games.

Do you want to award your players for...

• ... finding that secret dungeon without beeing hit by Skeletons?
• ... completing the difficult jump pacour in under 10 minutes without falling?
• ... killing 10 different players without armor on?
• ... gathering all of the achievements above?
• ...

Now you can!
Of course the old fashion achievements like gather, break, place kill of that are still available.

Here are some already finished Features:

• Customizable Achievements that can be put together by combining multiple so called Requirements and Rewards.
• API for developers to tag methods and provide them for the admin to configure.
• Push based Event dispatching, for fast handling of achievements.
• MySQL and SQLite Support
• Here are some already finished Requirements you can use:
  • LOCATION - When a player reaches a location (can be configured in game via command)
  • TIME - Supports a timer that works especially well with locations, e.g. you can make the player run from one waypoint to an other in 10 seconds.
  • CRAFT - Monitor any item a player crafts and award achievements accordingly
  • BLOCK - Monitor block placement and breaking of blocks
  • ENCHANT - Monitor players enchanting items
  • ACHIEVEMENT - Give an achievement when players gathered other achievements
  • ITEM - Be able to track items the player has in his inventory, equiped or in the hand
  • MOVE - Track player movement like jumping, sneaking, swimming, driving and so on...
  • CUSTOM - Use any tagged methods from your favorite plugins
• Some of the requirements can be counted, that means it will save the player progress to the database, e.g. make the player destroy 10 crop and make him craft 10 bread with that
• Possible Rewards:
  • COMMAND
  • MONEY
  • ITEM
• Spout Achievements PopUp on Achievement Gain
• Configurable Custom Sound on Achievement Gain

Here is a documented example file of how you could design an achievement. The achievement will be triggered and awarded to the player when all or some requirements are true. Requirements can be done in order or not.

But you should take a look at this file it will explain most requirements currently working and available:

    # you can add a new achievement template from ingame with
    # /rca addachievement/-aa <id> [radius]

    # you can specify 0 as the radius too

                type: MONEY
                money: 200.0

Here is an example of how the API currently works. This will change soon and become much more flexiable.

In your main class:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:

private void registerAchievements() {
        // register a class for the achievement plugin
        Plugin rcAchievements = Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("RCAchievements");
        if (rcAchievements != null && rcAchievements.isEnabled()) {
            AchievementHandler.registerPlugin(this, RCSkillAchievements.class);
        }
    }

And the RCSkillAchievements.class:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:

@ClassName("player")
public class RCSkillAchievements implements TaggedAchievement {
 
    @MethodName("level")
    public static int getLevel(AchievementPlayer player) {
        return PlayerManager.getPlayer(player.getPlayer()).getRank().getId();
    }
 
    @MethodName("exp")
    public static int getExp(AchievementPlayer player) {
        return PlayerManager.getPlayer(player.getPlayer()).getExp();
    }
 
    @MethodName("skillpoints")
    public static int getSkillpoints(AchievementPlayer player) {
        return PlayerManager.getPlayer(player.getPlayer()).getSkillpoints();
    }
}

Finally here are some achievements we configured four the Beta Test on our server: http://pastebin.com/03FajmML

Whats ToDo and what will come:

• Tracking Shift Click Crafting is currently broken
• More Requirements and Rewards (let me know what you want!)
• English Localization and language.yml config
• Web Support with list of all configured Achievements

Oh and if you want to try a demo you can get the mostly stable version here. But be warned it is in german and still has some bugs. You will also need the RaidCraftCore (Base API for our plugins). You will not need the RCAchievements-API since it is compiled into the RCAchievements.jar:

http://ci.raid-craft.de

I am happy about any feedback good or bad

 

Let me give you a small status update here:

• SQLite is done and fully supported now.
• I added Move Requirements so you can track how often a player jumps or how many blocks he moved jumping, diving, sneaking, running, falling or driving.
• The WebPart is also almost finished and contains a Wizard to create Achievements and directly load them into the mySQL Database. That means that you can add new achievements via Web and deploy them directly InGame and the only thing you have to do is type /rca reload

The plugin is already running on my production server and the feedback has been great so far. I still need to do localization to support multiple languages and fix the damn Shift-Click Crafting Bug.

As always you can already try out the mostly stable Version from http://ci.raid-craft.de

And also if you are German and want to see the Achievement System in Action you can visit us on http://www.raid-craft.de

 

I will try to polish it up and release it this weekend so stay tuned for awesome achievements!
