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

what do you mean by setting the world correctly? like the name of the world has to be a certain way or the name in the config has to match (given either way)

How about setting your world correctly?
Capitol letters might be needed, too.

@chirochord

Would you mind adding the config to the pastebin? you can do it privatly if you have too.

@chirochord

You don't HAVE to install Multiverse, just set your worlds correctly in the config.

- WorldName
- WorldName_Nether
- WorldName2
- blahblahblah

I'm having the same trouble as awolfgang and I tried your suggestion. Still says invalid world name. How exactly should the syntax be?

Yes, message me in private.

Or just browse the sound files on you minecraft rescources folder, then search it on the enums and add it.
Effects too, its pretty self explanitory, i don't understand the problem, well, just message me in private if you need it so badly.

Players darkness level will now reset on death.
Added the ability to add potion effects to evil events.

Usage: Add ":POTION_ENUM:ticksduration:amplification" to the end of your previous valid line, IE (0:0:Your heart jumps as you enter the dark.:Creeper:0:NOTE_BASS_DRUM:CONFUSION:400:1).

For "no effect" on your sound with this format, put a space between the colons. (0:0:Your heart jumps as you enter the dark.:Creeper:0: :CONFUSION:400:1).

Potion enums can be found here: http://jd.bukkit.org/doxygen/d3/d70/classorg_1_1bukkit_1_1potion_1_1PotionEffectType.html

Awesome update!

This goes VERY well along with Monster apocalypse, custom land generation and Blood plugins.
My players have never been more scared to go caving.

If possible, what about Screen Warps? I know this is alot to ask, with adding many features - I have added WITHER_SPAWN at the first, then ANVIL_LAND, then ZOMBIE_METAL. These would go incredibly well if you could change someones FOV or nausia for a split second, it would make such a large impact.
Did you ever play Amnesia: The dark descent?
If not, take some insperation from there.

Do you even read the config?
The level you put means its anything lower then it...

You should really read what it says there you know.

Is there anyway to set a max height for this to work? For example, I would like it to only effect players underground. So I would like the effected levels to be 0 - 60. The world we have this on is a persistent night server.

Okay... So bear with me here, but i had a nice idea! Extra-Scary!

Okay, So heads are probably the scariest thing you can find if it pops up onfront of you.
Maybe to control the skin?
That could freak people out, how about linking it to that blood plugin :
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bleedingmobs/

I am going to check if i can code this in myself, Thanks.

How about the feature to chose what sound is played?

I usually got scared only by the enderman, and any other noise only unsettled me a little.
How about the ability to chose any sound?
Meaning, From anvil placement and usage, players attacking and mobs dying to Music discs playing?

I know this might be alot, but i do know that the New API allows it, although i havent looked at your code to know if it might mem-leak, but i think you are good enough to pull this off, its the only plugin that worls this well anyway.

Side note : I found a glitch that when you go above Y 255 your plugin thinks we are at Y 0, this doesent matter too much, as no one really reaches that hight, but i think its pretty funny.

If you don't have your multi-world set to a softdepend, only your default worlds (vanilla default and its nether/end) will load before it.

@elias1979

To disable depth level set it to 0.

I'll consider changing light depending on depth a feature request.

Setting any setting to -1 disables it.

Its like that on any of his plugins, and if not just use 0.
