Bukkit

@ZariusT

I am using a MCPC Plus build, latest version (1.4.7-R1.1)

MCPC Plus website

This is a Spigot/Forge/Bukkit server and I would say the ultimate form of server. Perfect compatibility with any Bukkit plugin, it is considered a native Bukkit server so no problem (Otherdrops started fine). The very good thing about this type of server is that it eliminates the need to port mods from vanilla to Bukkit. Just put the vanilla mod in the mods folder, it works. That's how I can use Divine RPG with plugins; Divine RPG is a vanilla only server mod, and cannot be used on a Bukkit only server unless you port it (which is a huge pain, considering jar of Divine RPG is over 30 mb, nobody did it so no Bukkit compatibility). Also the use of vanilla mods allows a nearly immediate update of the server while with Bukkit mods, you can wait for up to months for a port.

I will test the use of quotes as soon as I get back from work :)

And yes I did do drop and chance on a different line, and I made sure to space not tab

Hi, I've been having trouble with trying to setup rare drop chances for mob spawners. Whenever I try MOB_SPAWNER: - drop: MOB_SPAWNER - chance: 25% It does nothing and gives me no drops,I had also tried making a custom drop for every type of spawner 52;90: - drop: 52;90 - chance 25% I had no luck with that one either :/ can you please help me?

Well I double checked my version of Otherdrops and I was using 2.7.1 because I click on the download link of the first page, which is the recommended version but not the last. So I downloaded 2.8b.156 and replaced my Otherdrops.jar.

Now, its even worse. When I click stone with a stick, message pops up indicating Test is successful, except that the block isn't replaced, its stone. I can click as many times as I want on that stone block, first message will pop up every time, no Disk Drive/Wireless Modem/Blue Wood appears (depending on what I put in the yml file).

I checked the config file and the problem was allow_any_replacementblock set to false. Now on true, the stone block is replaced by the correct modded block. Still no luck with breaking it and getting a diamond, I get the default loot.

I still get modded items as drops (Zombie breaks get 5500).

@Faldonboy

I just tried. So when I click a stone with stick it creates a Wireless Modem (4044@1) and the message pops up. When I break it I get a Wireless Modem and no second message...

I tried with 4044@0 instead of 4044, because 4044@0 is Disk Drive. But it still replaces with a Wireless Modem (with message first test successful) but second test fails.

    STONE:
        - action: RIGHT_CLICK
          tool: STICK
          replacementblock: 4044@0
          message: "&aFirst Test Successful!"
    4044@0:
        - drop: NOTHING
        - tool: ANY
          drop: DIAMOND
          message: "&aSecond Test Successful"

I tried with 13 instead of 4044. Both message pops up and I get my diamond. I tried with 652 (blue wood). It correctly replaces by Blue Wood and message pops up, but when I break it, no diamond, and no second message, just regular drop.

@Faldonboy

I have basically all mods from Tekkit installed with Divine RPG (IC2, Buildcraft, CC, Redpower etc all 1.4.7).

When I have any modded block in hand and do
/od id
I get correct info on the block.

But when I do
/od show with the block ID given by /od id
I get a null.

For example doing /od id while holding a Disk Drive from ComputerCraft

Otherdrops ID: item in hand is ItemStack{COMPUTERCRAFT_4044 x 1} id: 4044@0 maxdura:0 dura%:null

Then if I do
/od show COMPUTERCRAFT_4044
or
/od show 4044
or
/od show 4044@0 (in case its a problem with @)
I get

Block null (BREAK):No info found
Block null (LEFT_CLICK):No info found
Block null (RIGHT_CLICK):No info found
Block null (LEAF_DECAY):No info found
Block null (FISH_CAUGHT):No info found
Block null (FISH_FAILED):No info found

It shouldn't be null. I tested tens of times with blocks from any mod and all are null, and that's why its not working for me. Vanilla blocks are fine and give correct values:
/od show GRAVEL
or
/od show 13
for example are correctly recognized and give Block GRAVEL instead of Block null.

@ZariusT

Thanks for your help.

I can make ID works without any problem. For example:

    19:
      - action: BREAK
        drop: [13, 1]

That sponge drops gravel and stone without any problem. Also:

    ZOMBIE:
      - action: BREAK
        drop: [312, 5500]

That zombie drops diamond leggings and a Halite Bow (from Divine RPG) without any problem too. The thing I can't do is:

    DIVINERPG_BLUEWOOD: # this is the name of the block with /od id
      - action: BREAK
        drop: [LOG@0, DYE@BLUE]

But as you said, modded entities are tricky but currently its not really a problem I am fine with their drops. I feel this plugin offers just complete freedom to what we can do. People fear Silverfish because they can suddently pop up during your casual mining session and ruin it. But its fun, because surprise is fun. With your plugin I can transform stone/ore mining into a mission on its own. Want that diamond ore ? Well you'll get diamond 100% of the time, but there's 10% chance that your pickaxe breaks on it, and 20% chance angry baby spiders pop up and want to hug you (damn, it contained spider eggs !). That's just brilliant.

Just a tip for you guys: Make sure you set the volume of a sound or else you will be able to hear it at just about any distance as if it was right next to you. (A volume of 1 seems to be the game default)

Ok I tested and I couldn't make modded blocks (with ID, or with the name I obtained through /od id) or creatures drop what I want, guess the path is different and we can only meddle with vanilla blocks/entities ?

On the other side, a vanilla block/creature can drop anything, including modded blocks/items.

My config with LOG@0 works.

So basically I am left with one problem: can we modify drops of modded entities ?

Thanks

Sorry for double post I didn't choose Plain Test Markup Type:

BLUE_WOOD:
    - action: BREAK
      drop: [DYE@BLUE, PLANK]

652:
    - action: BREAK
      drop: [DYE@BLUE, PLANK]

LOG@0:
    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      drop: [PLANK, DIRT]
    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      delay: 60
      event: EXPLOSION

Thanks for the replies.

Does OtherDrops supports modded items with custom IDs ? I would like for example to drop wooden planks and lapis lazuli from a blue wood block (Divine RPG). Do I have to search for the name of the block or can I just start with the ID:

BLUE_WOOD: (or any synthax that the mod use, in the config file block is called bluewood) - action: BREAK drop: [DYE@BLUE, PLANK]

or

652: - action: BREAK drop: [DYE@BLUE, PLANK]

I would also like to know how to add a delay between two results (I want an item to be dropped from a block after right clicking it, and several seconds later that block explodes).

Does it work:

LOG@0: - action: RIGHT_CLICK drop: [PLANK, DIRT] - action: RIGHT_CLICK delay: 60 event: EXPLOSION

@Hecatonchyr

You can have otherdrops issue a command instead of a custom drop, you can use this in combination with other plugins to do pretty much anything you want. And example would be using an essentials command to spawn in a lore item with custom colors, lore data, and whatever else you want.
