Magic 4.6 Submitted

This is definitely the greatest Magic yet!

Please make sure to read the migration notes, if you have a custom config it could be important.

I'm hoping I got all the bugs out and that this is well worth the update- but as a general disclaimer, this is the biggest under-the-hood change since 4.0 so there may be a loose end here and there. Please let me know if you run into any issues!

Make sure you're using WorldGuard 6! Otherwise you'd need an older version of Magic.

Check your server logs for something like this to make sure it's working:

[Magic] WorldGuard found, will respect build permissions for construction spells

This looks amazing! I love the confirmation in spellshops and new spells! I'm looking forward to try Meteor Storm and all other new/overhauled spells! :)

Magic 4.6

A couple of videos about the upcoming release:

Magic Shop and NPC Instructions

New Features!

This version is a major overhaul under the hood. A few spells- like Laser, Earthquake and the new Singularity take advantage of the flexible action system for some cool effects!

For customizing, it's best to add to spells.yml and not do any copy pasting (read all the docs in spells.yml)

You can just copy and paste the whole thing, make changes - but that may cause headaches on update.

Here is a file with several examples of common things you might like to customize:

Also what is the permission node for individual spells, and where do I enable that.

Another question, if I'm creating a custom config, where do I put it, and do I just copy the config.default?

Are you using WorldGuard 6? You'll need it for Magic to work. Otherwise, any spell that changes blocks should not be castable inside a region where they don't have build perms.

If you're on WG6, let me know and I'll think harder.

You can use the WGCustomFlags plugin for fine-grained control of spell casting in a region.

Players can cast spells that create/destroy in a world gaurd region. They are not allowed to pvp or build, it blocks pvp but not building. Any ideas? Also, is their a way to completely disable casting of spells in a region?

Important note on the latest dev builds, and 4.6

If you have a heavily customized spell config, or are using MagicWorlds or dtlTraders, please see here before you update:

Latest dev build (will be in 4.6) has some spell shop and halo improvements, per your request :)

I'll try and put together a little tutorial video, but you can now make shops with specific spells at specific prices, and there is also a "confirmation" screen.

I've increased the wand "tick" rate and made it configurable, so the halo effects look nicer now. I also think I fixed the centering issue.

Hrm - that really should've fixed it. I tested with a chestplate, but it just does the whole armor inv in one go.

I put armor on and did /kill .. tested with my wand open, wand closed, no wands in inv... seemed to work. I'll put the fix up on my survival server when I can and try and do some more testing.

Well, it kind of fixed it. I tested it out with the latest devbuild, and my all of my armor disappeared except for my helmet.

Okay nvm, I tried just putting my helmet on and killing myself, it disappears as well.

Ok, I found the issue and have fixed it. I'm not in a good place to push a release, I wish I was since that's a really bad bug :(

It is fixed in the latest dev build though (#775) and up.

Sorry about that!
