Allow Lockpicking
DeathlyIceDragon will now be maintaining this plugin.

Introduction
This plugin adds the ability to pick doors, chests, furnaces, trapdoors, fence gates and dispensers with a "lock-pick" item. This plugin will not lock any of these items - it just provides players with a method to circumvent them.
In Game Usage
Players just need to be holding the lock-pick item in their hand and right click on a chest or a door to try to pick the lock. If the pick is successful, the door or chest will open.
Features
- Should work with any locking plugin (tested with LWC, Lockette, BukkitInventoryTools, Deadbolt)
- Supports permissions (allowlockpicking.canpick) - defaults to ops
- Configurable lock-pick item (allows multiple lock-picks)
- Configurable messages
- Configurable chance of success
- Option to lose lock-pick on use or just failure
- Configurable damage dealt on failure
- Teleport player to a location on failure (like Jail)
- Run a command automatically on failure (like /report)
Known Bugs
- Does not prevent other locking plugins from displaying their messages if something is supposed to be locked but the user bypasses it.
Installation
Download the jar and place the plugin into your folder. Run the server to generate the files that will let you configure the plugin.

A list of all commands and their permissions can be found here.
Configuration
Information about the configuration files can be viewed here.

I'm currently in the process of rewriting the plugin to fix a few other errors, I'll add in the durability feature and look at leveling - thanks for the suggestion!

Posted Apr 19, 2012It would be nice if there were an option to damage the item on failure, too. I like to use hoes for lockpicking, can would be nice if lockpicks could "wear out".
edit: Think Morrowind lockpicking.
Also, this would be amazing if there were a level feature (mcmmo compatible? :D) associated with it. Just throwing it out there. ;)

Posted Apr 17, 2012Noticed there is a soft depend on ChestShop, but found no commands to disable lock picking of chest shops.
the protect command does not work - posted a ticket.

Posted Apr 15, 2012still having problems here. I checked the config and saw that the success rate was at 0 so I changed that and thought for sure that that would fix it, but sadly no. I'll keep looking at the config, I appreciate your help,thanks.

It's still not even detecting it for some reason. I'm going to give you my Skype and if you could add me that would be great.

I just tested it and it seems to work fine. For your configs make sure that the name of your world is listed in the world list section of the config. I noticed that your config shadowwraths is the world "public", which threw me off for a little since mine is called "world".
Let me know if this doesn't solve it or you still have issues, I'll upload a debug version.

I'll test it with Lockette right now, I assume you're using the most recent versions. Could you create a ticket and post your lockpicking config please?
Also do you have the spout server plugin? Is the player using the spout client?

Posted Apr 15, 2012To give you a little more info on the problem. The player gets hurt sometimes when they try to open chests, and they lose a lockpick every few times they try but the chest never opens.

Posted Apr 6, 2012Be awesome if you could add a message on fail for factions.
Eg. A player fails to pick the lock of Faction B.. The server then broadcasts "John attempted to pick Faction B's locks"
