Hrm... that's kinda odd! That sort of sounds like you got the intersection of both configs, rather than the union... the Elder wand should have 40+ spells in either config.

EDIT: This theory would be proven true if the 6-10 spells you got are "engineering" spells- like Wolf House, SuperBlob, etc... I've put those spells in the "potter" config (but semi-hidden) since they're useful for building.

So that may be something I need to take a look at- to be honest the "add_example" thing is not a feature I test frequently :|

I'll try it out when I get a chance and let you know!

I'm glad you're liking Magic! I've attempted to make it super flexible so it can suit may server setups and admin desires, but that also means it's got a ton of features I can't necessarily always test..... :D

EDIT2: Well it was bugging me, so I just tried it out real quick... it *seemed* to work .. though I guess I'm not sure what else you've got configured, or *maybe* it's something I broke and re-fixed recently.... maybe...

this is the only customization I did, was to put this in config.yml:

add_examples:
  - potter

Which gave me this on startup:

I'm going to try and clean up those warnings you pointed out, but the important bit there being the "Loaded 240 spells" .. and in-game I did /wand elder and got a wand with a ton of spells.

And then a Hunter ate me.

EDIT#3, And then I'm all done :D

I forgot I removed all the spells from the Elder and, favoring the "fill" flag which maybe doesn't work in the combined configs... try "/wand fill" while holding a wand, and you ought to end up with something awesome like this:

@PsychoFad

Just FYI, those Wolf House bugs will be fixed in the next version, thanks to you!

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/commit/b155a1757de395500e814ff1205afbff0754a417 The enchanting room warp was a semi-funny typo... as funny as a typo in a schematic can be, anyway (kind of a pain to update).. if you look at the command block, it's "echanting" instead of "enchanting".

In case you're curious how these work- the text in those command blocks is replaced by the spell when cast, if you look in spells.defaults.yml you'll see a long list of commands. This means I can change the commands without having to update the schematic... except in the case of a typo :)

Thanks!

@B3fuddled

Haha, your comments are always different than how they appear in my emails XD

So it appears that could use some cleaning up, however those should mostly be benign ..

"Imperio Maxima" is a custom spell by another dev that resides in a separate plugin (PotterSpells) - to be honest it's hugely hacky (it's basically the ICU plugin wrapped in a spell) and i kind of recommend you avoid it. This will just fail silently if not present.

The "Unknown effect type hurt" thing is a config issue... I'll track that down. "hurt" is an entity effect, so that's labelled wrong... but that's will just skip over whatever effect is trying to use that.

And finally- the crafting.yml thing is just because there are no crafting recipes defined in the potter config- I'll add an empty yml file there so that warning won't happen.

Otherwise- that looks ok- it *should* work! Did you get access to all the HP spells? Try /wand elder - you should get a wand with a mix of both spells.

@Canibaz

If you want to customize spells, all spells that do direct damage have a "damage" parameter, or maybe separate player_damage and entity_damage params- check the default configs to see.

For instance, if you wanted to tweak the Magic Missile spell, put the following in your spells.yml:

missile:
  parameters:
     damage: 20

That will make it do 20 damage.

Wand power affects nearly all spells in some way. It will increase damage done by direct damage spells, it will increase the radius of spells like Inferno and Frost, it increases the targeting range of all spells, etc. There isn't an easy way to tell, but if it makes sense and doesn't break the game or the spell in some way, wand power will affect it.

You can tweak all of this in config.yml - as always, check the defaults for the options:

max_power_damage_multiplier: 2.0
max_power_construction_multiplier: 3.0
max_power_radius_multiplier: 2.0
max_power_radius_multiplier_max: 4.0
max_power_range_multiplier: 2.0
max_power_range_multiplier_max: 5.0

The Power scale goes from 0 - 1 - where a Power of 1.0 will use the values above. You *can* set a wand's power greater than 1, which puts it in a special "super powered" mode- and it will continue to scale things up from there, to some sane limits so as not to break the game.

@PsychoFad

I just checked the "otherside" config, and you are right! I think that was intentional on my part- as you said, to give a little reward for a big risk... I notice that it converts mob spawners to diamond blocks, too. Feel free to change any of that of course, but if you've already got some chunks generated, who knows what's out there ;)

And definitely not your mistake- the other side thing is a special config, the one you linked is it and up to date. By default the plugin won't do an other side thing, it just does the chest population. Don't worry about all your comments, I think you have a better handle on these plugins than most!

GriefPrevention sounds perfect- no commands needed? That's exactly what I'm after. I had been looking at Precious Stones for that sort of thing, too- but it's got so many other things that aren't protection related that I don't really want. I'll definitely check this plugin out- thanks for the tip!

@PsychoFad

Upgrades and spells will get absorbed automatically by your wand (the one you're holding) when you pick them up. Any upgrades in your inventory will be absorbed when you grab a wand.

If your wand already has the spell, or doesn't need the upgrade, it won't absorb it.

And yeah - that's my feeling too- though I don't consider anything in the other side as "precious" per se- I mean the current configs don't use gold/iron/emerald anymore.. they do use quartz though, and Automata can be born from lapis (I think)- so depends on your definition of "precious" I guess :)

Thanks for the notes on Wolf House! I can fix the hub rooms pretty easily- but you're right, the bridge is broken due to something in the schematic process... it works in the "original" (which is my actual hand-built home from my survival server). I kinda just gave up on the bridge XD The stairs should work, though.

GriefPrevention sounds super interesting... I'll check it out. I'd love some sort of automated anti-grief solution for my own survival server! Thanks again, and no worries on being "that guy" - these are all excellent questions and observations.

@PsychoFad

Lol, I feel like this plugin happens to be getting a ton of attention during the week all my servers are down XD ... bummer :(

You have two options for trying out the example configs:

example: potter

Will switch everything to the HP configs. Definitely not recommended for a server that has been running the default configs already - all of the non-HP spells will disappear. I've tried to make sure the wands "remember" that they had those spells and get them back if the spells return, but it's probably best not to mess with that.

you can also do

add_examples:
  - potter

Which will combine the two configs. You can then test out all the harry potter spells and brooms, and those spells will go away if you ever take that line out of the config.

Note that a few things exist in both configs- like the elder and wolf wands, and they will be a combination of the two.

It looks like in the code, the only way for the anvil to organize is if you rename it... it looks like I intended to allow some other way, but I don't think it works. The anvil is a bit glitchy.

You can spawn and sell an organizer item (/wand organizer) that will do the same thing, though.

The default configs now restrict all precious blocks (gold, diamond, emerald), as well as their ores. That's all configurable in materials.yml though- I'm trying to make this plugin work alongside a physical economy. If you are "superpowered" - that is you have the "magic.powered" pnode, or your wand's "power" setting is greater than 1- you can bypass this restriction, however.

Upgrades are items just like wands, basically. So "/wand mana1" will give you an energy upgrade. You can also use the "mgive" command - like "mgive mana1" or "mgive fling" to give yourself an upgrade item or a spell, that will be absorbed by your wand.

@Canibaz

Looking in the spells.defaults.yml file is the best way- if you want a list of all the classes, here you go:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/tree/master/src/main/java/com/elmakers/mine/bukkit/spell/builtin

@Canibaz

There is no trick- just look at the examples. It is pretty complex, if you've only just started using the plugin I suggest you try out all the (150+) default spells before trying to make your own.
