Overview

Magic is a plugin that adds powerful magic wands, items, mobs and more to your server. With over 200 spells, a variety of wand templates, and complete customization, you can use Magic to craft a unique experience for your server.

The default experience is an "RPG lite" extension to survival. Other examples are included, such as a Harry Potter setup, Star Wars, GTA-Style guns and cars, elemental bending and more.

Magic is infinitely customizable, allowing you to script your own spells, actions, items, mobs and anything else you see done in the included example configurations.

If you aren't using wand crafting, put

enable_crafting: false

in config.yml

If you still want players to be able to craft wands, and don't mind that they can craft items that look likes wands... or I guess you aren't using the RP and don't mind wands that look like wood hoes .. anyway, you can change the behavior in crafting.yml - just add

beginner: disable_default: false wolf: disable_default: false broomstick: disable_default: false architect: disable_default: false

All of these changes go in the files in plugins/Magic

The default configs actually prevent crafting of several items: wood hoe, gold hoe, gold axe and gold spade.

Question, what will happen if there are 2 players in a safezone, and 1 player shoots a fireball at the second one. Will he take damage? Or is there a way to completely disable spell usage in safezone, because I assume things like FlashBang will still affect other players and could be of annoyance.

Also upon firing a couple of fireballs I noticed it said "Fireball has been upgraded to Level2" Is there a way I can disable or configure what this does, I don't want Magic to break the survival aspect of my server.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Here is a screenshot of the message that comes up ingame: http://prntscr.com/6jz80x Here is a full list of plugins I use: http://prntscr.com/6jz8fn Here is the console log upon startup: http://pastebin.com/jYTwdH4w

I have noticed that it says faction integration disabled, but it says it has found a PvPManager.

EDIT: since you mentioned PvPManager, I removed it from my plugin list, restarted the server and bam. Everything works correctly. I'm just not sure how to keep PvPManager compatible with Magic. Is there a command line like for factions so I can just disable the integration?

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I'm stumped. Can you tell me the actual, exact message it's giving you in-game?

I've realized my Factions integration doesn't do anything with the PVP flag, and the Fireball spell doesn't require build permission. So unless you have some other PVP plugin on there (Sure no Multiverse? PVPManager?) I really don't know what's going on.

Well ... Hrm. I have no idea Idea :/

I will try this out when I get a chance (I dont use factions myself or I would've tried already).

In the meantime, could send your server logs? Magic will print messages on startup indicating whether or not it has integrated with Factions or other plugins.

I have put that in my config.yml, but still the message comes up saying I can't cast that there.

I am only using Factions for protection, absolutely no plugins that I've installed that have to do anything with protection.

Here's a pastebin of my Magic config.yml:

If you have put

factions_enabled: false

In your config.yml, then factions pvp checks are off. Do you have pvp disabled multiverse or anything else?

If you want, you can pastebin your configs and server log files, otherwise I have no ideas.

Umm I'm getting an in-game message? I think it has to do with permissions, I'm not sure though.

I'll try to find something, maybe write my own list and send it to you. Btw would it be possible to put some lore line on wand, which would show current applied effect upgrade? It would be great, if it could show something like "Effect: <Name of upgrade>, Color: <Name of color>" everyone on it's own line in the wand lore. Players trade with wands on my server and I've set some special NPCs which sell these upgrades (which are very expensive). But since no information about it is shown on wand, players can't see if wand in the auction house have or does not have any effect attached. On second thought, it would be great if it showed "Upgrades:" with a list of upgrades applied to that wand. and separate for color.

Not a good one that I know of... Would be nice to have.

For most of them, it is movement speed - but there are some, like redstone, that treat certain data values differently. Would be nice to have a list :/

Is there any documentation of what effect_particle_data does to different types of particles? I've noticed, that it does completely different things to different kind of particles.

Am I suppost to add #factions_enabled or factions_enabled?

Well, just to be sure, I added both so it looked like this at the end of config.yml

Whether or not using a wand on an anvil will organize its inventory
enable_organizing: false factions_enabled: false
factions_enabled: false

I tried using the wand to shoot fireballs again, but got the same error. I went out of safezone, tried doing fireball in wilderness and warzone, but still doesn't work.

Bit of help please? :(

Are you still on 1.7?

If so, there's a config option you can set that may prevent this- add

enable_custom_item_hacks: true

To config.yml. There is also an option to eject wands on creative mode, because creative mode will also destroy wands in 1.7

If you're on 1.8, then it may be another plugin that's getting in the way.

Im not sure why but wands and items just seem to go dead after a little while where they are simply named items :/

I tried to reproduce this, and couldn't. I just tested by using "/kill" on myself- with and without keepInventory set. I'd then "/return" to my death location, and pick my stuff- no armor duplication.

And you said this only started in Magic 4.6?

I'd like to help and fix this if there's an issue, but it doesn't seem to want to happen for me.

I am not using CoreProtect, but I can't imagine how that'd make a difference.

I was thinking that too - not sure citizens has a way for me to do something that, but could be cool if so!

No problem rly. :)

Maybe it would be possible to somehow add halo effect to npc magic trait, instead taking it directly from wand?
