Fear the Darkness

Table of Contents

Fear the Darkness

Fear the darkness is a mechanics/roleplaying mod that allows you to strike fear into players when they are in dark areas, similar to the game Amnesia.

Players standing in dark areas will proceed through a sequence of roleplaying events, culminating in doom.
Adds a new layer of gameplay depth, potentially forcing players to play only in well lit areas.
Great for preventing hiding in caves on a hellish Monster Apocalypse world.
Fully customizable.
Script your own chat/damage/spawn events.
Set a depth where players are alerted to being too deep and trigger the darkness event.
Timer resets when players enter 'light' (what you set it to).
Works with torches at light 8, or sunlight at light 16.
Color codes supported.
Set your own darkness level, to allow for varying intensity.
Spawn mobs when their curse level reaches whatever you decide.
COMPATIBLE WITH MONSTER APOCALYPSE

Download

1.4 is released!

Fixed the chat spam in caves (below depth limit)
Updated imports for craftbukkit, but most if not all versions of craftbukkit should always work.

Is it possible to disable depth level and only use light level, or even better use depth level to set the required light level higher only when lower then for example 40, similar to how monster apocalypse did use different values on the day and the night.

What the 2 event values in the beginning does:

- 0:0:Your heart jumps as you enter the dark.:Creeper:0
- 1:0:Fear begins to build inside you.:Creeper:0
- 2:0:Whispers of malicious thoughts come to you.:Creeper:0
- 2:0:You are absolutely terrified.:Creeper:0
- 2:1:SO, YOU WISH TO JOIN US?:Creeper:0
- 3:1:TURN BACK RIGHT NOW HUMAN!:Creeper:0
- 4:1:DIE!!!:Creeper:4

First value is health second is hunger :)

Open the jar with winzip (or any other zip file program) and add this line to your plugin.yml, making sure to save it into the jar properly:

softdepend: [Multi-Verse]

As an added bonus, I'll include a bunch of soft dependencies to common multi-world plugins with the next update.

Your config has no events in it.

@TommehRRR

I'll consider that for the next version.

@elias1979

It does!

Haha!
Great work!

I got scared shitless before -
I was pretty sure the plugin wasn't working so i just continued mining then BAM - Enderman damage and zombie spawn ; Scared me shitless, Nice work!

Heres a small suggestion, which i have achieved from other plugins -
If it was possible to give a certain effect, Like Blindness or Nausia for a certain amount of time.

@ircopdd set it to -1.

@awolfgang

It's possible that your multi-world plugin is loading second. Check your console for error messages.

If you see lines reporting an error from Fear the Darkness, post them.

Thank you for pointing this out. I have updated the details. This plugin should work on nearly every version of bukkit since the new event system came out (which I believe was in 1.2.5).

Versions 1.0 and 1.0a are for CB 1.4.6, but 1.0b and 1.0c are for CB1.4.5? Is that a typo? If not, will the changes in b and c be applied to the CB1.4.6 versions of the code as well?

Updated now in ftp, will push on a scheduled restart. Feel free to use my server for testing or as a flagship for your plugins, as we use them all. :]

No problem at all :) I hopped on earlier to see how it was running for you, looks set other than needing to update to version C.

Epic plugin. Absolutely epic. My players are now fearful of the dark and started placing torches ALL over the place. Plugin works fantastic, causes them to freak out, the "scary sounds" are incredible, and the Night is finally feared as it should have always been. Thank you for this plugin.
