No, unfortunately :(

It's due to the way I store the items in the config.

I had a plan to fix this, and also to allow editing of shops in-game. But, honestly, since 1.8 added support for custom item data, opening up shop plugins like Shopkeepers, the time I want to spend on the built-in shops has dropped to basically zero.

@Atrelyu

Thanks! I'll try and figure out why ItemLoreStats is getting in the way when I can, maybe there's something I can do about it.

The config approach you describe is tempting, but I'd suggest not doing that. It's better to only tweak what you need to change, which is why the configs are set up that way.

The reasoning is that this plugin is heavily config-driven, so I may change or fix things just by editing configs- if you've made your own copy you won't get those changes or fixes.

But that is up to you! If you don't plan on keeping updated it may not matter- you are essentially "forking" the configs if you go that route.

But config.yml in particular, it's pretty rare you'd want to change that much stuff in there.

For spells.yml and wands.yml- if you want to create new spells or wand templates, it's totally fine to copy from the defaults and rename- but for modifying existing spells, it's better to put in the "diffs", if you will- like if you wanted to make the cooldown for Fireball longer, you can just put

fireball:
  parameters:
    cooldown: 60000

into spells.yml, it'll get the rest from the defaults.

There have been a few times (like when I had to update ALL of the spell icons for 1.8.3) where having a completely copied config can be a real pain to update.

@MrHedra

Yup, that's right. You can add new wands there, or modify default wands (including disabling them by setting "enabled: false")

None of the default files are editable- the plugin puts them there for reference, so it's worth looking through the wands.defaults.yml file for examples of what can be done.

@Atrelyu

I'll bet ItemLoreStats is the cause, that was the exact problem the other person described. I'm hoping to get a chance to look into why!

As for the configs- I don't get much time for this stuff, but I'd be happy to help! Let me know what you had in mind- like if you have a specific set of wands/classes with specific spells you'd like to set up, or what.

@ThaRam

It is wearable- aim up and swing or activate it :)

It's actually an ender portal frame block, so it's not wearable in the vanilla sense.

@Atrelyu

Are you using the ItemLoreStats plugin by chance? Someone *just* reported a very similar issue that turned out to be caused by that plugin- I haven't had a chance to see how it's interfering just yet though.

What you describe could work well, that's generally how I handle classes or ranks. You can give each unique wand type its own "path" for upgrades- either via vanilla enchanting, the builtin spell shop or other means.

This would take quite a bit of customization to set up, but I can help with that if you want!

@Atrelyu

You can kind of work it that way- a lot of servers go for a "rank based" set up that is very similar to that- controlling what players can cast with permissions.

Unfortunately the way Magic works is mostly in opposition to that idea- since spells are attached to wand items, not to players directly.

Normally servers will use the "fill" command and/or wand property to auto-fill the wands with all of the players' spells (the ones they have permission to cast). This ends up with a similar set up, but it still feels kind of lacking to me.

If I can't get Heroes+Magic to work, I'll probably want to implement my own "skill" system of some sort, though it wouldn't be nearly as complete as Heroes so hopefully it'd hook into that in some way. I believe Heroes has a permission skill that you could use to bridge the two together at that point.

@Atrelyu

Glad you found that! You can use the "/mskills" command for the hotbar icons that they use on Herocraft. "/wand heroes" will give you a wand with your Heroes skills on it.

Unfortunately, what you describe isn't possible- at least not easily. I've been looking for a way to do this myself, since I'd like to use Heroes' progression system with my own spells.

Unfortunately, Heroes skills are required to be separate pieces of code- so there's no (easy) way for me to inject my own spells as skills.

Probably the "easiest" way would be to create a new Heroes skill that invokes a specific Magic spell via the API (or by just dispatching the /cast command) - but that means creating a separate Heroes skill (Java class) for every spell in Magic that you'd want to bring over- kind of a pain.

I'll definitely update you all if I ever find a way to make this happen, I've gone so far as to explore using JavaAssist to create new Java classes on the fly- never got that working though.

@ThaRam

Hrm :( The dtlTraders integration worked at one point, but it sounds like I need an update. Not sure when I'll be able to get to that, sorry.

And yeah the shops- it is kind of a pain, sorry again. You'll need to also copy the magicitemshop stuff from messages.defaults.yml into messages.yml to configure all the in-game text. I really ought to make that stuff default to something :(
