Using that you can set any permission to be active in any world (likewise you can negate any permission in any world).. You can stick the "worlds:" section in a group or a user definition, so you can also restrict/enable permissions in a specific world for a specific user :)

PS - Beware FULCRUM, they have agents everywhere!

@melskam:

Woah that's an interesting way to go about it. Certainly makes the donation requirement not seem so obtuse :)

I assumed it was two different subsystems -- one to handle mapping player skins to item 144, the other to handle mapping the built-in mob skins to item 144. I guess I just assumed you added extra meta values for the mob heads so like 144:20000 would be squid head, etc.

Seems to me that would be more standalone (and more profitable) than creating extra mojang accounts for each mob, but this is said with no real understanding of the current codebase..

I wonder if Mojang has a timeout period where inactive accounts get deleted -- if so, and if you haven't signed in as each mob-account within that period, the account would be deleted and that head would stop working. It'd be easy enough to script something that just spoofs a login once a month so mojang thinks the account is active... Worth looking into at any rate, might not even be needed.

@Chuck_Bartowski:

Per-world permissions configuration is *always* best left to your permissions plugin.

In fact it's the mark of an out-of-date programmer if they try to implement their own multi-world config -- all the multi-world permissions configs should be in one place: your permissions file.

If your permissions plugin doesn't have the ability to define permissions on a per-world basis then you need a better permissions plugin. (I recommend PermissionsEx, as does most of the Bukkit community)

@robsherwood:

Code developers have the same requirements as all other human beings -- specifically food, shelter, and an internet connection ;)

That said, I do think setting a minimum $30 donation amount to have him add a single mob to the plugin is a bit steep, especially considering there are about a dozen other Head-Drop plugins and more than one of them already offers other mobs without extorting donation money out of its users.

If you can't afford $30 per mob, try one of the many other head-drop plugins :) Or just be patient -- eventually the dev will have no choice but to add those extra mobs for free, just to keep up with the competition.

@meiskam

Great plugin, but as the owner of a smaller server, I can't afford $30 per mob, sorry. That's just crazy.

EDIT: Never mind, just learned how it works. :)

Thanks melskam,

I can confirm it is indeed working for the mobs in the list, just not for the more common mobs.

Oddly enough #horse wasn't working when I made my earlier post but it's working now so maybe I was just typing #hose or something hehe

@JustinM511: You can remove all the player heads in your world if you have worldEdit and worldGuard installed. Just do these commands:

/region select __global__
//replace 144 0

The first command selects your __global__ region, which represents your entire world (Note: that's two underscores on each side of global).

The second command replaces every item ID 144 on the map with item ID 0

(item ID 144 is a mob head, which includes player heads, and item ID 0 is air, so you're replacing every block that is a mob head with a block of air)

Note that in the //replace command you have two slashes, as it's a WorldEdit command.

If you don't have WorldEdit and WorldGuard installed, it's worth considering installing them. A quick search for "worldedit" on youtube will convince you it's a necessary tool hehe

@1337ingDisorder

It shows Steve until you wear or place on the ground.

EDIT: Nevermind, a bunch are not working for me. (Cow, pig, sheep)

Is there any way to remove all spawned heads? Also, even though i disable spawning of mob heads, they still drop when killed.

^ I added the negative permission nodes for the dropping.

How can I give someone a head via the console? Thanks (Never mind)

I've updated the .jar to v3.1.0093 and updated CraftBukkit to 1.5.2, I have Op, and as per the instructions on this page I've tried all of the following:

/ph spawn #horse
/ph spawn #pig
/ph spawn #cow
...etc

They all spawn a standard Steve head instead of the mobs I've specified.

Even though the instructions above include the hashtag, I figured I'd try without:

/ph spawn horse
/ph spawn pig
/ph spawn cow

They all spawn a standard Steve head too -- it seems none of the mob heads are working as expected.

Am I doing something wrong?

fwiw the actual player heads are still working as before (eg, "/ph spawn Notch" still spawns a head with Notch's skin) and the rename function works as expected, it's just the mob heads that aren't working.

Head Found: HOw to add?

He is editing never his head...

horsedroprate?? WTF HORSES ARENT ADDET?
