ChangeDamage by FalseVacuum

NOTE: I don't play MineCraft anymore. Please don't ask for new features. They're not going to happen.

Sorry guys, updates are *very* slow! I don't play MineCraft, and I'm super busy with other things. I do enough coding every day.... I would be thrilled to have someone to which to pass on the torch!

Up for takeover! PM me for details.

Features

Item/weapon damage
Arrow damage
Critical damage
Strength effect
Weakness effect
Separate world configurations for damage output (all of the above features)
Armor protection
Fall damage (including armor protection during falling)
Permission to decide if item/weapon damage changes based on the dealer. This also affects critical damage and the weakness and strength effects.
Ability to configure item/weapon damage output for PvP only or for both PvP and PvE
Default configuration so that you can avoid playing with things you don't understand yet.
Responsive development team—I usually get back to you within 24 hours, and I get right on to bug reports.
Open source

Overview

ChangeDamage is a plugin which allows you to change the damage an item does or the amount armor protects you. For example, you may want to make diamond swords more overpowered than they already are, increasing damage output to 20 (10 hearts). Or maybe you may want to nerf those OP diamond swords, so you decrease the damage output to 5 (2.5 hearts). Maybe, just for grins and giggles, you want the flower to do 200 damage. However you want it, that's how you can do it. You can also change the damage points of a piece of armor. You could buff the unobtainable chain armor, whilst nerfing the overpowered diamond armor!

So what ChangeDamage does is it allows you to change the damage output of any item. You can choose if this applies to PvP only or if this works for PvE. EvP will not be affected (for example, Zombie Pigmen's gold sword's damage output will be constant). It also changed the damage points of a piece of armor.

Commands

The current commands are:

/changedamage reload - Reload the plugin
/changedamage release - Disable the plugin (unload it, so you can remove it/replace it)

Future commands may include options to modify damage output of weapons from commands instead of from the text file

Config

pvponly - true/false - If false, ChangeDamage will affect player versus entities (PvE) in addition to PvP. If true, ChangeDamge will only affect PvP
verbose - true/false - If true, ChangeDamage will send you all sorts of useless spam messages that help me debug issues. Don't set this to true unless you know what you are doing.
research - true/false - If true, ChangeDamage will occasionally print out some notes for me. Please report these notes if you get them. They will be marked "[ChangeDamage] [Research]" and will appear in the console. This is to investigate the possibility of adding critical hit support.
damages - See "Damages", then see "Projectiles"
armor - See "Armor Points"
damages.expressions - Allows you to input an equation for how much damage a critical hit does. Variable 'n' is the amount of damage done by the player, rounded down to the nearest even number. Use the subnodes of "damages.expressions" "strength", "weakness", and "critical" to affect damage output for strength effect, weakness effect, and critical damage, respectively. See "Expressions"
fall - Allows you to decide fall damage. Only activated when the player falls more than 3 blocks. Variable 'd' is the distance fallen, rounded down to the nearest integer. Variable 'a' is the total armor points of the player. Use node "fall.expression" to specify damage. See "Expressions"

Permissions

The permissions nodes for this plugin are:

vacuum.changedamage - Gives access to /changedamage
vacuum.changedamage.damage - Default enabled. Disable to make damage output changes not be affected for this player.

Upcoming features

And what is the default formula? Just for future reference ^_^

Nevermind, I spotted it below.

I can tell you that vanilla critical damage is not actually constant. It has a random component to it. If you want a formula that will provide a constant damage for critical, but similar to vanilla, you can use:

i i 2 / 2 + fl +

Which is the maximum additional damage on vanilla

and

i i 2 / 2 + 2 / fl +

Which is the average additional damage on vanilla.

No problem, keep in mind I REALLY care about precise damage (lots of PVP on my server), love testing this kind of stuff, AND have an indicator of how much damage was hit, so if you have any dropbox editions to test I'm always up for testing!

Love this plugin :3

Oh. Haha. I see the problem! It's that I didn't add to i.

i 2 / 2 + rand * fl = floor(random * (i/2 + 2))

I need:
i + floor(random * (i/2 + 2)) = i i 2 / 2 + rand * fl +

It should be

This sucks. Now I have to get the update out to everyone >.> Maybe I should change the node or something.

Anyways, thanks a ton for finding that problem! If you hadn't caught it, that would have been out there for who knows how long :/

Edit: I just added a line of code that basically says "if your damages.expression.critical node is set to 'i 2 / 2 + rand * fl', update it". I've submitted the file to Bukkit and updated my SVN.

What I meant by that, and it was fixed in the new version, that when I got a vanilla critical, no additional damage was done for the critical. So if I hit 10 damage, and critical-ed with a 10 damage attack, I would still hit 10 damage.

Okay well I figured out why nothing was going into effect, I didn't have the update: true/false in my config and it was just crashing. But now my critical hits actually do LESS damage than a standard one! Hah!

Perhaps this is the cause my my problem?

expression: critical: i 2 / 2 + rand * fl weakness: i 2 w << - strength: i 3 s << +

Sorry, but I can't seem to replicate your result. Here's my config:

pvponly: false
verbose: true
damages:
  default:
    367: 100
  priority: HIGHEST
  expression:
    critical: 100000
    weakness: i 2 w << -
    strength: i 3 s << +
armor:
  default:
    DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE: -1
potion:

fall:
  equation: 2E1 a -
  expression: d 3 - a 0 * +
critical:
  equation: 2 n 2 - 2 * 2 / +

The output was this (with verbose on):

This instantly killed the pig when I used item 367 (rotten flesh)

Could you please switch "verbose" to true, attack something, and send me your config and output? That will give me a better idea of what is going on.

I'm not sure what you mean by "I have I plugin that displays total damage (MobHealth) and whenever I critical (vanilla) with a weapon, It doesn't do anything more ^_^". Are you trying to say that you can't do critical hits anymore? I'll look at MobHealth and see if it will do any modifications, but it shouldn't. One thing to note about this plugin is that it recalculates the damage from scratch, so any previous modifications to damage will be lost.

I'll look in to it. I had to rework the whole damage output thing. Sorry I didn't respond: I was camping.

Well criticals work in the new one, but I'm not hitting the correct damage again, it would seem as if it is using default values for everything :D

Also could you maybe add a config option, Use Custom Critical damage: True/False? I think changing it is a great idea, but as you know, I use Levels+ and the critical damage is already factored in and multiplied. Anything higher and there would be devastation! XD

I'm not sure when Enchantments get factored in, but I'll look into it. Dealing with critical damage is my first priority, though, since I'm so close.

Edit: Good news! Everything there pops up in the same method!

Edit2: I can make Enchantment support, but it would take a lot of work. Don't worry, I will, but it will take a while to figure out the best way to do it.

Seems like a awesome plugin with essential features, Ill start testing.

Actually, that might be why critical hits aren't working. My code seems right, but it just doesn't work. If that's the case, then I get to have a lot more leeway with critical hits (yay :D fun)

Just checking, are these Vanilla critical hits, or a plugin critical hits?

Oh and I don't know if it is just in my version or not, but it would appear as if weapons who's damage has been edited, lose the ability to preform critical hits (sparks still fly but no additional damage is done)

Shall I test another build and see if this is still the case?

Sorry I took so long myself! Having too much fun running around backstabbing people with shears (which with the server's texturepack looks kinda like a TF2 Spy's knife!)

LONG STORY SHORT: Worked, and it is amazing!

Nope. That would PROBABLY help.

KK here's what my config looks like, I'm going to test it, and you'll be able to know for sure if I did it right. http://i.imgur.com/N1Ub4.png

Kk testing now :D

- Initial test has failed, I turned the shears example into a reality, testing again with other things...

- Tried it on everything I edited, no dice. Armor works great though ^_^

Ok, so I've gotten a more dynamic solution, albeit less elegant. It calls an event on each priority, and when the desired priority is reached, it calls the handler method. To affect it:

damages.priority: X
fall.priority: X Where X is

LOWEST
LOW
NORMAL
HIGH
HIGHEST

EDIT: Derp... I didn't test it and there's a null pointer.
EDIT2: Fixed it.
