Overview
HarryPotterSpells is the ultimate Harry Potter plugin. Whether you run a Harry Potter server, want to add magic to an RP server, or just an admin looking for a bit of fun, this plugin is for you!
Many of these options are configurable. If you don't want parts of the plugin, open the config.yml with your favorite text editor and disable anything you don't want.
Features
- Provides a complete Harry Potter experience
- Can be used on a HarryPotter server, an RPG server, or just to play around
- Has over forty spells, with more in progress
- Cast spells quickly with your magical wand (default: stick)
- Teach users spells with simple commands
Spells
Cast spells with your magic wand (by default, a stick). Right-click to scroll through your available spells, and left-click to cast! Server operators can "teach" and "unteach" other players (and themselves) spells.
For spell documentation, see the Spells page on our site.
Commands and Permissions
For information regarding commands and permissions, see the Commands page on the site.
Configuration
If your not sure how to setup your config or if your looking for a more detailed version of your config, see the Config page on the site.
Regarding Locale
Currently there are only two language options. We are looking for more translates and looking to branch HPS into more different languages Please message jacklin213 if you are interested
Supported Languages:
- us-english
- nl-dutch
- de-german
- es-spanish
- it-italian
- zh-chinese
- br-portuguese
- kr-korean
- cz-czech
- no-norwegian
Locale based Errors
As of 1.1.4 HPS will attempt to do the following steps automatically, in the case that it is not able to please follow the steps bellow Important: For anybody using a linux operating system please do the following steps to install HPS if you get locale based errors:
- Stop your server
- Download hps.rar
- Extract the locale folder directly into your HarryPotterSpells folder
- Start your server
The locale based errors should go away and the plugin should function like normal. If the problem still persists please read the support section bellow

Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.

To Do
Our entire to-do list has been moved to Trello. Anyone can vote on issues/features they'd like to see implemented. If you'd like to add an item, hop on our IRC channel (see the support section) and someone will access will add it for you.

Future Plans
We plan to add an extension system to HarryPotterSpells, allowing server owners to add various HarryPotter- and magic-themed "addons" to the HarryPotterSpells core plugin. However, to prepare for this, we have removed all code not related to casting spells. This includes some of our old features: Spell signs, SortingHat, and hooking into WorldGuard, Towny, and LogBlock. These will be available as extensions in the near future.
Special Thanks and Credits

Many have spent time and effort helping to develop this. Thanks to jacklin213 for taking this project on board and keeping it updated since 1.7.x

Posted Oct 1, 2014Are you able to say which spells they can or cant use through the permissions? As I might possibly be getting this and that is one of the factors of me getting it or not. I would honestly prefer not to have to give all the players who join the spells they start off with :P

Posted Sep 14, 2014There seems to be some sort of Unicode 8 problem with computer that dont default to it. The work around to this situation is to open the HarryPotterSpells.jar file copy the us-english file and put it into a folder called HarryPotterSpells > Language Files
Everything else should generate and work properly. I am still not able to determine the root of this bug. More error logs please :) on the issue tracker thanks

Posted Sep 14, 2014Oh, and another thing:
Wouldn't it be better to be able to set the variables in a plugin config folder (you know, like every other major plugin), rather than have to open up the jar file, change a few things, then close it and upload it all over again?

Posted Sep 14, 2014I'm running a 1.7.2 server with the 1.7.9 version (okay, so that could cause problems, but shouldn't - few changes between those versions). I am getting this error in the console:
[12:14:34] [Server thread/INFO]: [HPS] Enabling HarryPotterSpells v1.0 BETA [12:14:34] [Server thread/ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling HarryPotterSpells v1.0 BETA (Is it up to date?)
I will try using an older version (your 1.6.2) and let you know how it goes.

Posted Sep 12, 2014Thanks for the reply, I managed to get it working for all of you having problems, you just need to load it onto an older version and copy the folder from that older version into the new version on your 1.7.10 server! The only problem is that the configuration does not seem to work, and there may be a few other bugs, but yeah, I'm running it on my server and I need it updated badly. Server: TheCitadel.ddns.net

Posted Sep 2, 2014Hey. I'm running a 1.7.9 R.02 Bukkit server. I have the plugin when I do any commands with this plugin it says they are Unknown. Now I sort of need these because i'm running a HarryPotter server. I tried adding Vault to see if that would make a difference, I also added it with FTP to see if that would make a difference and it didn't. Any ideas? :/
