MineCobalt Hunger Games
About MineCobalt Hunger Games
After watching a few videos on YouTube of the survival maps being used i decided to give them a go on my server but quickly found that they all rely on someone standing in a room and pulling a switch, so i decided that it would be better if it could be automated. So after a bit of experimenting MineCobalt Hunger Games was started.
An update is coming!
I have started work on updating the plugin with a new more streamlined code base allowing for quicker updates to new versions of bukkit.

Current Progress
I am currently working on re-writing this plugin from the ground up. There is a lot of work to be done to get the plugin running in an optimal way and still provide lots of features and simplify ways to add features.
Current Features
This plugin is still currently in alpha and needs a lot of refining but the features that i have implemented so far include:
- Block break prevention
- Automatic chest refilling.
- Random selection for chest filling.
- Item Groups to define what items each chest has.
- Player lobby holding area.
- Start location registration
- Statistics Collection
Stats Colected
The plugin now collects usage statistics to allow me to work out what kind of environments the plugin is currently used in and to also allow me to build a server list in the future. The information that i collect is as follows:
- The Version of the plugin you are using
- The location of the plugins data folder
- The server IP
- The server port
- The version of Craftbukkit
- Your servername
- The amount of RAM
- The Amount of CPU cores
- The maximum number of players These statistics are not used for malicious purposes and are stored encrypted within the database. They are collected mainly to allow me to see what environments my plugin is being used in so that i can then replicate any problems and optimize the code to better suit the people that use it.
Please Note: You can disable the collection of these stats by setting " sendstats: false" in the configuration file.
Error Collection
The plugin also submits completely anonymous error log information to myself to allow me to correct any problems with the plugin. Please Note: you can disable the submission of error logs by setting "senddata: false" in the config.
Requirements
- MySQL Database Server
Planned Features
- Web GUI
- Chest Group editing
- Start Location Editing
- Kill heatmaps
- Chest Items list editing

What version of the plugin are you using? it should provide a list of the commands when done from the client. The command might not work from console.

Posted Mar 6, 2013Hi wheezymuppet,
Currently my schedule has been quite busy since my work schedule has been quite busy and since i work nights its made progressing on this a bit difficult. It is going to be a big release since i am re-writing the plugin from scratch and making sure that i keep it optimised since the old version was my first step into JAVA programming. I want to ensure that the plugin is able to be left running 24/7 and have it correct any errors that are detected and i want to eventually build in a watchdog checker so that should a severe error occur its able to reboot the server.
Is there any features that you would like to see in the plugin?

Posted Mar 5, 2013What is happening with this project then? I saw your comment MineCobalt that new updates would be coming but the actual project itself hasn't been updated since July 2012! Are you still working on this project or have you abandoned it completely? I really liked the idea of your plugin but i want to see it updated and made better! If you are still working on the plugin but are planning a big update or have encountered problems please reply to this message to tell me what you are planning as I think that this plugin has potential to go further!

Posted Dec 29, 2012Update
So for a while i have neglected this project and have failed to do any updates. This is all going to change ive started working on a brand new implementation. It will still rely on using MySQL since that way i can reduce the amount of logic that the server has to do and therefore reduce some of the memory usage on the server. With the addition of 3D item drops in MineCraft it has given me a few ideas on how i can update how the game will work.
I will be looking into allowing the player release to be controlled by redstone but this will be a long way in the future since i have encountered some issues with the piston blocks not updating at the same time for every player.
So all of this will be coming soon in 2013. If you have any ideas then please feel free to Contact me.

Posted Sep 1, 2012So i'm confused.
Is this plugin fully automated?
Like can I leave my server running and this plugin will keep generating new games?

Will this mean the possibility of multiple games at once or map rotation? Or is it more to integrate the plugin within an existing server as opposed to being separate?

Posted Aug 2, 2012So i have just started re-writing the plugin so that it uses SQLlite and therefore does not require a MySQL database. Also going to be making it support multiworld servers!

Posted Jun 11, 2012Could you make automatic start feature? For example, I have one game end, then after 5 minutes new one starts teleports everybody and refills chest, then after the countdown game starts again, then it ends, new one starts and etc.

Can you set more than one game?
No Currently the plugin only supports one game per server. I have got plans for multiworld support and making it possible to run multiple games at the same time.
Can you set a game border?
Currently i do this by creating a physical wall around the starting point of the map using worldedits hcyl ot hsphere command. I can add this as a feature as well though.
Would it be possible, when the game is nearing the end (only a few players left), to have them teleport to say a deathmatch arena?
This is what i am currently working on. I had a few bugs in the code that tracked as to where in the game the players were. I will hopefully have this in the next Alpha release.
