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!

I've tried to investigate Spout's API before, but documentation for that stuff in particular is/was seriously lacking. I'll consider looking into it again though since it has been a little while.
Believe me, no one wants extra particles more than me - that was my initial intent with this plugin before I found out how limited a plugin's control over particle effects is. :/

Posted Aug 6, 2012Scratch that, just read that your not going to make more particles. However, could you possibly integrate the 'Particle upon death' idea? Edit: I think Spout adds support for custom particles if you ever think about adding Spout support. (a spout plugin called Guns+ allows players to shoot custom particles out of their guns)

Posted Aug 6, 2012Could you add options to be surrounded by different types of particles like hearts, poison bubbles, etc? Also, can you add options in the config to make the particles appear upon death? I really wanna imitate the 'Grunt Birthday Party' perk from Halo: Reach that makes hearts appear when you die xD

Posted Jul 26, 2012I've posted a new version, 0.3, for approval, which removes the misguided "auto" feature and replaces it with a better, savefile-based approach. When you turn the effect on, it will now stay on across logins until you turn it off. With the blazeofglory.others permission, you can also now use /blaze <username> :)
Apologies to those who were hoping for more particles - please read the "Known Issues" section for my explanation for why this won't happen right now.
Sorry for the wait, and thanks for using my plugin!

Posted Jul 18, 2012Can you add Heart support?
I want to be in love :)
I mean the same effect when you breed animals and hearts center them.
Thanks!

Posted Jul 15, 2012My server is adding elemental powers into our survival world. (Fire, Air, Water, Earth) Players will learn them in 3 stages
Beginner, Advance, Master Im trying to find a way to distinguish the master ranks from the rest of the players. Is there any way you'd be willing to attempt to expand this pluggin to allow players to also emit small stone partials / dripping water / small puffs of smoke coming from the player
If so that'd be amazing and you'd be my hero!
