Attention

The elMakers server (Survival, Jira, Jenkins, the Magic web site) will be down for maintenance until tomorrow.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

(The Dev/Free-For-All server will still be up, thank you NodeCraft!)

Answer 1: There is a "welcome_wand" option in config.yml you can use for that.

Answer 2: You must have command blocks enabled in server.properties, but otherwise there's no configuration required. Try casting on a smallish Blob of something (like pumpkin)- they do need a bit of "food" to get started or they will die.

/wand unenchant will destroy a wand

Unfortunately I'm not sure what's going on at this point. I've been doing some experimental stuff in the dev builds, but if you were having these issues in 3.1 or 3.2, it's got to be an interaction with one of your other plugins. Sorry!

@Gotex007

If you're using creative mode, that's definitely the problem. It would also cause the issue with wands not being tracked, since the plugin no longer knows it's a wand.

If you're not looking for some bleeding-edge feature, the release builds here should be the way to go. If I make a critical bug fix of some kind, I'll always push a release out.

If the wand loses it's enchant glow, that's a good sign it got wiped.

Are you using a dev build for some reason, or is this all happening on 3.1?

EDIT: Or, I guess, 3.2, since that was apparently approved (thought I'd get an email...)?

@Gotex007

Creative mode definitely breaks any wands in your inventory if you open your inventory.

A plugin that only looks at your inventory should be ok, though I've seen some plugins (dtlTraders for instance) that will copy the inventory (breaking wands) even when not modifying it.

@Gotex007

Do you use creative mode or any plugins that mess with your inventory?

@Gotex007

Some clarifications:

"clean" and "list" are only for wands on the ground. "Lost" wands. Wands in your inventory, in chests, whatever, are not tracked.

I will eventually have something you can use to scan for all wands anywhere, but it's going to have to load every offline player's data file and every single region file and chunk, so not something you really want to have to use often. It's more for a migration that may be required in the future.

Anyway, when you do "clean", it's scanning the internal list of wands and then looking for those items in the world. If "/magic list" is coming up empty, "/magic clean" is not going to do anything.

That said, it is supposed to keep track of them. I used to have a feature where it would detect the items on chunk load, but that proved to be a bit expensive. I may put it back in as an option. In the meantime, I'm afraid there's no way for the plugin to find them at the moment, I'm not sure how they got "un-tracked" for you :(

If you have some kind of setup where you're constantly generating wands and then dropping them all over the place, you probably want to just turn off indestructible wands. It's no excuse for my code being broken, and I'll make a point to test all this out more thoroughly when I get a chance.

This all seems to be working on my Survival server, as far as I can tell, though. What version of CraftBukkit are you running?

@Gotex007

Hrm, I did try and improve the clean command, but maybe I slightly broke it. Try "/magic clean ALL" - that'll remove all wands, owned or not. "/magic clean" is only supposed to remove unowned wands, but it looks like I have a bug there I need to fix. Sorry about that!

You can also do "/magic clean Gotex007" (or whatever your IGN is) to remove only your own lost wands.

And here are some config options you may be interested in (config.yml):

# Wands are indestructible
indestructible_wands: true

# Show wands as dynmap markers, if dynmap is present
dynmap_show_wands: true

# Show spell casts as dynmap polylines, if dynmap is present
dynmap_show_spells: true

Note that only indestructible wands show up on dynmap, so if you turn off the first option, the second should (theoretically) be irrelevant.

EDIT: The "/magic clean" issue should be fixed in the latest dev build.

@Silversbane

Do you want players to be able to have a spell that does /butcher, but not have access to the command? Can you do "/butcher <player>"?

The latest dev build has a very simple CommandSpell. It can do "/butcher" if the player has perms, you can see I use "/spawn" for an example "Respawn" spell.

I'll need to do some additional work to support something like "butcher @p", which would be executed as the console.

I don't think, without some hackery, I can execute a command on behalf of a player if they don't have permission to use that command.

@Silversbane

The property for that is "uses" - the "recalltoken" now uses it. I did do away with the concept of limited-use wands in the default configs, but I'm going to have more "Magic items" that are basically the same thing but don't look like wands.

Increasing the radius of Neutron Bomb should increase the damage radius- how big the area of effect is. It is centered around where the projectile lands.

It does damage, though- that's not really what you want.

I think what you want is CommandSpell. I was trying to put that together tonight, but got a bit distracted by some other stuff so not sure that's happening- it will be in a dev build soon, though, I'll try not to make you wait long :)
