BlazeOfGlory
Give your appearance some extra sparkle!
This plugin adds a fun little feature to your server: surround yourself with the fiery particles commonly found around Nether mobs!
This plugin is a toy - don't expect it to ever have features that affect gameplay. Use it to reward donators, for example, or as a way to show who's really in charge on your server.
Current Version: v0.3 (July 26, 2012) for CB 1.2.5-R4.0
Source Code: v0.3
Usage
Use of the plugin is controlled by a single command: /blaze. Used once, it will enable the effect; using it again will disable it. You may also now use /blaze <playername> to turn the effect on and off for others (NEW in v0.3). The effect will stay on no matter how often you log in or out, until you disable it.
The command is restricted to OPs by default. If a permissions plugin supporting SuperPerms is installed (such as PermissionsEX), the following permissions are supported:
- blazeofglory.use - Allows the use of the /blaze command.
- blazeofglory.others - (NEW in v0.3) Allows the use of /blaze <playername> to enable/disable the effect for others.
A config.yml file will be generated when you first install and run the plugin. It currently contains a single option:
- interval: Time between particle effects, in seconds (default is 1 second, decimal numbers such as 0.5 are accepted).
Known Issues
- I will not be adding new particle effects right now. The number of effects that can be controlled by a Bukkit plugin is fairly small, and very few of them look good as a player-centered effect. A plugin cannot make you have slow-moving purple sparkles like an Enderman, or hearts, or any number of other things. The two that would look OK are a.) small smoke puffs and b.) potion swirls.
- The effect will not always be perfectly centered around you. It is automatically rounded to the nearest block. This is how Minecraft handles this effect and is outside my control.
Ideas?
If you know of any way this plugin could be improved, by all means let me know. Keep in mind that I will NOT support old versions of Permissions - only the official Bukkit SuperPerms API. I also, as noted above, won't be adding new particle effects right now. Thanks for using this plugin!

Posted Jul 10, 2012Going by what Typical_Name and 2Andri are saying it might be better to disable the auto enable for OP's.
Change
if (player.hasPermission("blazeofglory.auto")) {
To
if (player.hasPermission("blazeofglory.auto" + !player.isOp())) {
For 0.3

Posted Jul 1, 2012I'm having trouble with this plugin :L When i use it the effects don't appear, but i think the problem is with something else because even the mob themselves dont have the effect. Do you know any thing that could cause this?

Posted Jul 1, 2012@Typical_Name I agree with you, it would be neat to have a way to turn of the Auto blaze of glory for OP default. Because such an option isn't there.
This plugin is used on our servers as a treat to our loyal players, and we're not going to use it on our staff. So it's quite annoying logging on, as we do in vanish, having some players wondering why theres the fire effect floating in the air. Because they aren't able to see us.

Posted Jun 19, 2012Noob question: Is there a way I can make it so that OPs DON'T have the blaze of glory applied to them automatically every time they log in? I want to offer this as a neat donor feature, but it gets slightly irritating for my co-admin and I to turn it off every time we log in.

A cool idea, but a little outside the scope of this plugin - I want to keep things nice and simple. My code is open-source though, so if anyone else wanted to use my code in a plugin like that, they certainly could.

Posted Jun 17, 2012You should make it so when you put on a full set of gold it gives you a defence boost and gives you this effect..?

Sorry, might have been confusing there. What I meant was, most particle effects only occur when certain things happen, like an enderman being in the vicinity, and they cannot just be made to happen whenever and wherever you want by a plugin. Trust me, I'm kind of annoyed by it :/

Posted Jun 17, 2012No I mean not client-side. I want that everyone, including myself can see the effects. Even the BlazeOfGlory and the other effects too when you add some :) .

As you might have noticed from my last post, this is on my to-do list :)
@gibbly96
This too! But I can't do particles that are client-side only, like Ender particles for example. Potions might be doable - I'm working on it :)

Posted Jun 16, 2012Can you add more of this "effects" :) ? I mean, with the other particle effects from minecraft. Like the Potion effects and so on. That would be really cool

Posted Jun 16, 2012What about supporting commands for other players, eg: /blaze 12345 - which would give the effect to user 12345 - so you could give it to others without having to give them permission?

Posted Jun 15, 2012Version 0.2 uploaded, with an "automatic" feature which enables the effect when you log in. And unless they have the blazeofglory.use permission, they can't turn it off, if you feel like being evil :)
I'll be looking into the potion particles soon, as well as allowing enabling/disabling the effect for others.

The potion effect sounds great; I would love it if this turned that into your next big feature :D

As I've mentioned before, I'm limited to the particle effects actually provided by Minecraft as a controllable effect. A lot of these you mention are, unfortunately, only made by the client when certain things happen, like the presence of particular mobs (Endermen, charged creepers, etc). It's not possible (yet) to make them happen on demand :( Right now I'd have to do something like superimpose a fake Enderman around the person or something which probably wouldn't work. As for the XP orbs one, this might be possible but it'd have to be done entirely differently.
One effect I can add is potion effect spiral thingies of any color. Would you guys like that?
@chlitto
Yeah, this I can do, probably via a permission for "always on". :)
