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 May 28, 2013@CommodoreAlpha For cannons 2.0 everything has changed. You have now different config files for projectiles and cannons.
@Greenturds I have never implement an event system, so give me some time. But it will be the next thing on my list.

Posted May 25, 2013@Ajaxan I am glad you like it. :)
@Meteora56 You have to make a custom schematic file. Best you load my schematic with worldedit and modify the barrel. Then save it again under a different name. You can use also the iron cannon I have made.

Posted May 24, 2013@Ajaxan ObsidianDestroyer has updated its file structure, therefore older cannons version will not work with the newest obsidian destroyer. I will release a working version today or tomorrow.

Posted May 23, 2013@Greenturds All explosions created with the bukkit interface have entity==null. Thats the only way to detect these kind of explosions.

Could you post some code that would cancel your explosion event so I can put it into the factions source for myself?

Posted May 19, 2013@hisoka2501 You need worldedit to run the new cannons version. It is necessary to rotate cannons and import .schematics
@Crysillion Upload the file to pastebin and I will have a look.
@Greenturds I can't implement this. Bukkit does only support entity free explosions. So every explosion of cannons will have entity null. So no way for me to fake explosions. Therefore factions has to support it if the entity is null. This was a little bit problematic in the past. Maybe it is already supported in factions or at least it should not be that much work.

Posted May 19, 2013I would like a feature implemented with factions that would allow cannons to only break blocks in faction territory when members are online.
Factions already does a check for this, I figure it would be a simple fix for you to implement.
I really want to use this plugin in faction raids, but I can't risk people being griefed while they're offline.

Hello, friend. Thanks for the attempt, but there is no change.
Note that loading cobblestone as a projectile works 100% fine. It's the TNT that isn't working, strangely enough. I deleted the config and .db files with the new CustomLanguages file, just in case. Still no go.

Posted May 15, 2013Seems to be a problem of cannons. I believe it is the encoding which is going crazy. So please try this language file.

Posted May 14, 2013There is a pretty big error when using CreeperHeal and Cannons both together. That said, I'm not sure which plugin is causing the error, but the error can be found here: http://pastebin.com/YRJqTpQ6
I will go ahead and post the error on both pages (CreeperHeal and Cannons). I have tried updating both plugins to the latest version at the time of this posting, using CB 1.5.2. Thank you!
It should be noted that I can create cannons and load them up with Gunpowder/Sulfur, however I cannot actually put many of the projectile blocks inside. For instance, if I try to load the cannon with TNT, it will simply place my TNT right next to or ontop of the cannon where I clicked - completely disregarding it being loaded. Yet, blocks like Gravel WILL load. Non-block items such as Diamond seem to still work fine.
I have also tried deleting the folders for both respective plugins and letting them regenerate with completely vanilla settings at next server boot and nothing changed. I strongly believe that this error is not on my end.
