PvPManager

Table of Contents

Using multiple plugins to handle PvP? Don't want to use yet another plugin just for that one feature? Or even simply looking for an updated Combat Log plugin with great performance?

PvPManager is an all in one PvP combat plugin. Meaning that it combines most plugins that control the PvP experience in your server to just one.

There are certainly some features that are better covered by a dedicated separate plugin. Still, PvPManager will try to cover most of those even if in a more superficial way, while always maintaining good performance in mind.

More suggestions are always welcome, although new features are usually added to the premium version first.

All the features can be enabled/disabled according to your liking and have no performance impact when disabled.

If you appreciate my work and/or make profit from your server, donations are welcome!

PvPManager Premium

If you have been using PvPManager for a long time you probably know how much it changed since earlier versions, it was the first plugin i ever released here, many years ago.

I really appreciate it if you have been using my plugin over the years, even if there were times where I was less active. If you wish to support my work, there is a premium version of PvPManager. Think of it as a fork of this version but with improved performance and some extra features and improvements.

If you don't make a profit from your server, the free version is not abandoned and will keep receiving updates but don't hesitate to throw me a nice review, it means a lot more than you think!

Note: You might need to register on Spigot to see the premium resource!

Created a Developers page which should explain all the basics about how to use PvPManager
Also updated the Configuration page, it was really outdated.

Sure, a PR is always welcome. I never focused on having an API but the methods available already allow to do pretty much anything. I think the tryCancel(attacker, attacked) is the same as what you are suggesting except it takes a PvPlayer instead of Player.

I know at least one other plugin is hooking into mine, i guess it would be pretty useful to be some kind of Vault of PvP. Allowing plugins to be easily compatible with other PvP plugins, i thought about it but never actually tried it. Would be awesome xD

@QuietRi0t

Hey, sounds good. The effect will be the same red color though, i guess it will look good anyway.

Hey man. You think you can add blood effects to mobs too? That's the only thing I feel is missing. Thanks ;)

Would you be opposed to me submitting a PR for a some sort of simple API?

A couple of global methods could be really useful, like isPVPAllowed(attacker), and isPVPAllowed(attacker, attacked).

These could be in an interface that the main plugin class implements, or some other approach if you'd prefer.

It's not a big deal, like you said, not sure how many people other than me are tying in to your plugin- though if you wanted to become a sort of PVP "hub", like the Vault of PVP, that could be really handy.

I might add that to my pom, not sure how many people are actually using my plugin but might as well add it. Thanks for the offer.

If you want to check all cases where PvP is blocked this method might be better Github. If it's FAIL or FAIL_OVERRIDE then the attack should not be blocked. I can't assure that method will remain unchanged but you could just copy those if-clauses instead of using the method.

Ah, thanks for the head's up! It's actually not me using it, but @xs0lidus so I will defer to him.

This other plugin would just set the player's PVP flag post-2.0, so I don't need to worry about it unless I want to support 1.9.6's TimerManager?

Thanks for all of your help!

I'll be hosting 2.1.4 at maven.elmakers.com. I can add more versions as you like, but for my purposes just having one in there is good. If you wanted to "advertise" this so other devs could use it, you're welcome to add this to your pom.xml:

<distributionManagement> <repository> <id>maven.elmakers.com</id> <url>http://maven.elmakers.com/repository/</url> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>maven.elmakers.com</id> <url>http://maven.elmakers.com/repository/</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement>

Otherwise, doesn't really matter. You're also welcome to use my CI server if you like, it kind of comes with the Maven repo.

Feel free to do it, i don't have any maven repository.
Btw, you mentioned wanting to check if it's day time or not, that feature was removed in 2.0.
I decided to split it to another plugin but if you wanted to check for that in v1.9.6 you would get the WorldTimerManager instead of the PlayerHandler.

Thank you, that's what it looked like, and should work perfectly for me- I basically just want to make my combat spells obey your PVP settings.

I forgot to ask, do you have a Maven repository set up? If not, would you mind if I host you in my repo (maven.elmakers.com)? Just to at least have one non-snapshot version in there to build against.

Yes, that should work without any problem assuming you want to check his PvP state (which is changed when you do /pvp).
I didn't include any API documentation in here but should be pretty easy to use just by the method names.

You can check a lot of things on a player(basically almost all the methods in PvPlayer) and use it to do what you need.

Hello! I'm looking to integrate with your plugin- I don't see an API, but this seems reasonably straightforward- would this code tell me if a player can currently PvP, given their current location, time of day, etc?

pvpManager.getPlayerHandler().get(player).hasPvPEnabled()

This is assuming I've got a reference to your plugin as "pvpManager" and a Player.

Thanks!

Like i said in the ticket: I don't know what you mean by support. What part didn't work with factions?
I think everything should be working fine with Factions.

They cause at least damage animation so they are considered as a hit. I might add an option to ignore damage from that kind of thing like snowballs and eggs, i can't say when that will be though.

I mean for example if you throwing snowball or hooking with fishing rod from outside residence to player which is in residence then both players are tagged as they're in combat and they can attack each other. I treat this as bug. So there can be option to disable snowballs or fishing rods to tag players.

Hm sure but leave a link to here.

What's the point of having it enabled then? Just disable it.

I will probably add a cooldown after a player respawns before he can be attacked again.
Guess it might help a bit with that issue.
