Cannons
What can it do?
Cannons is a highly configurable plugin which allows you to fire block build cannons. It is possible to aim and load different amounts of gunpowder to hit targets at different ranges. The power of redstone makes it possible to set the gun to auto load and activate the rapid fire mode. Choose your projectile from a broad spectrum of cannonballs and smash the enemy.
With Cannons 2.0 you are also able to design your own cannons using .schematic files and give each cannon their own settings, as well as different types of projectiles.
Features
- Build a cannon out blocks
- Design your own cannon and save it as .schematic
- Design and fire different projectiles to smash your enemy
- Use redstone to fire guns from distance
- Rapid fire with auto-load possible
- Destroyed blocks can be restored with CreeperHeal (if 'custom' option is true)
- Cannons will stay load and aligned due to the database
- Movement plugins (e.g. Movecraft) are supported if a cannon has a sign to store a tag
- API for ships plugins (e.g. iSails) to use cannons on ships without signs.

Posted Jul 2, 2013@leo91000 I will make a tutorial on that. A short description would be:
Note that all projectiles are snowball when fired. This can't be changed.
I hope this brief description helps.
EDIT: The first version:

Posted Jul 1, 2013@samus1221 The problem with the corrupted classic.schematic should be fixed in the latest version 2.0-R3. So please try to remove the design folder and restart the server. Alternatively you can use this one:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16404245/Cannons/classic.schematic
If the problem persists send me the error log.
I have to improve the tutorial of how to make a cannon. However load the .schematic with worldedit and edit it.

Posted Jul 1, 2013@caleb12134 Do you use the lastest version 2.0.3? Are there any errors in the server log file? Try to delete the old design folder in cannons, if you used an older version.

Posted Jun 30, 2013It was very quiet the last few weeks - I have to apologize for my absence. But now after some time to regenerate I have now found the problem of the corrupted classic.schematic. The new one should now start without copying files. However you have to enable permissions to use a cannon.
@IanStarGem I will release today a new version. So give me a few hours.

Posted Jun 27, 2013Nice plugin, except for one problem, I have tried just about everything I can to make a new cannon, since you corrupted the first design, but have not had any luck making your plugin recognize that there is another design, any ideas on why? FYI I have created a schematic file and a config for the same cannon im trying to make, and have named them the same thing

Posted Jun 16, 2013@robmcdonald5 Do you use any permissions plugin (e.g. permissionsEx)? I can test your configuration if you send me your plugin folder with cannons and your permission plugin. I have updated the plugin.yml so the permissions should work better in the future.

Check your logs; are you seeing "classic.schematic is missing" ? If so, it's not loading the schematic,necessary to tell the plugin you're constructing a cannon.
