Bukkit

Sorry I have a plugin that suppresses them I will try to disable its loggin ability and get you more. Only reason I suppress errors is because we run a tekkit server :P

@sirrus86

Haha sorry! I'll stop posting ideas for a while.. xP

I have a new power idea.. Again.. Lol... xD Have you ever heard of the war ruses used by the Japanese during the era of feudalism (approx. that time period)? Well, I thought that two ruses they used would make interesting powers. So, here they are:

Warrior Dolls

These are dolls used by the Japanese to deceive their enemies by making their armies look bigger and more intimidating. They would dress the dolls in armor and stand them with the other troops. For example, an army of 600 men could have been just an army of 300 men and 300 dolls. Similar to Decoy and Diversion, this power will disguise all nearby mobs (define mob type as passive, hostile, or all in the config) as wolves for 1 minute. However, I thought it would be amazing if a feature could be implemented to this power so that the power's config allows for the nearby mbs to be disguised as one of these three choices: (Wolf) this configuration will make it so the mobs are disguised as wolves. (User) this configuration will make it so the mobs are disguised as the player that is using the power; this would be somewhat like decoy. (Creators) this configuration will disguise the mobs randomly as sirrus86 and the creators of the other powers; however, at least one mob will always be disguised as sirrus86. For example, say the creators of some powers are sirrus86, creator1, creator2, creator3, creator4, and creator5. The player uses the power but there are only three mobs nearby. The 1st mob is disguised as sirrus86, the 2nd mob is randomly disguised as creator3, and the 3rd mob is randomly disguised as creator1. If there is only one mob nearby, it will be disguised as sirrus86. If the number of nearby mobs exceeds the number of power creators, the extra mobs will not be disguised as anything. Limit of disguise-able mobs should be equal to the number of powers in the plugin Feel free to change limitations and details as you please. You can choose how the player activates the power. If the coding for (User) and (Creators) is too difficult then just leave the default as the (Wolf) configuration. creator: DuffstersATL

Ghost Warriors

The title is misleading, doesn't involve actual ghosts fyi. The term refers to the method the Japanese used to surprise their enemies. The warriors would disguise themselves as peasants (farmers, women, elderly, etc.) and would deceive their enemies. Their enemies would usually see these "peasants" as posing no threat; however, the warriors would then surprise attack their enemies. For example, an enemy army is marching their way through the country side and passes a farm filled with seemingly normal peasants working the farm. However, the peasants (warriors in disguise) would suddenly grab the weapons hidden nearby and attack the unsuspecting enemy army. So this power is fairly simple; a player will right click a villager (might be difficult because of trading; possible replacement could be baby villagers) with rotten flesh and they will be disguised as a randomly chosen villager type (Farmer, Blacksmith, Librarian, Butcher, or Priest. If possible, the player can also be disguised as a villager with no profession; aka the villagers with the green robe). By default, the disguise will only last 3 minutes and will have a default cool-down of 3 minutes until the power can be used again. The disguise will wear off if (1) the player attacks a mob/player, (2) if the player is attacked, (3) if the player is right clicked by another player, (4) if the player dies in any way, (5) the player logs off. When the player is disguised as a villager and attacks another player, the disguise will wear off and the enderman-teleport sound will play once. Alternative Method Of Disguising The Player (Use either this method or the previous one but not both) It will be the same as the first method except the player will not be disguised by right clicking a villager with rotten flesh. Instead, the player will be disguised as a randomly chosen villager type if the player wears a Player Skull (a.k.a. Head) item as a helmet. Upon killing a Villager, the player will receive 1 (by default) Player Skull. This way, players in survival have a way to acquire skulls for their disguise without creative. One Player Skull is consumed upon every power use. This method is an alternative just incase there are any impossibilities in coding the first method, if both are impossible, edit them as necessary. creator: DuffstersATL

I need to make shorter posts haha.. >_>;

@n33dy1

Sounds similar to Mind Control @DuffstersATL but would probably be better as an add-on to Bloodbend. However, if that isn't possible then it could still be separate until the coding is possible. The Last Airbender plugin also has a bloodbend power similar to the Levitation thing you described, but it is reserved for ops only. :)

Edit 1:

@n33dy1 Sounds cool! Perhaps it could utilize Spike Blocks if dinnerbone ever implements them! :D

@sirrus86

Batsy

They wont be forced to sleep; I meant that if the player is idle for some amount of time, then the bats will begin behaving like normal bats again (aka Sleep during day). But not force them to sleep. Basically, I'd think it would be like Arachnophile but with bats instead of spiders. :P

Abduction

Hmm, a simpler way to put it could be to make it so the victim just teleports to the player similar to how the endermen teleport to the player in the Ender Soul power. And it could also be it's own independent power, but we thought it would be interesting if there were layers of powers in which special skills (like Abduction) that could be used to supplement powers like Bloodbend. In the Last Air Bender series and Legend of Korra series, Bloodbending went more in depth than just lifting someone up in the air; so add-on powers (advanced or simple) could really improve powers. But idk, feel free to simplify it, it should be fine as long as it stays along the basis somewhat. If it is too much trouble, then feel free to veto it lol.

Assassin's Gambit

When I say combat mode, I mean any players that have attacked the "Assassin." Actually, it would probably be easier just to make everyone in a 20-block radius of the Assassin fall under the curse. That way there wont be lag or wasted time figuring out how to log combat or whatever haha.

WitherBorn

The plugin will be fine without preventing withers from targeting the player. Kinda like Dragonborn in Skyrim, the "Dovahkiin" still can be attacked by dragons thus it'll be fine without targeting prevention. :)

Questions

Where can I see a to do list for upcoming powers / an updated list of the current powers? Also, approximately how long is the average time between updates with the new powers?

All good now it was a problem with the capitals thanks n33dy1

@sirrus86:

Thanks! I didn't know they could be edited in game haha! Also the members and I had a few more ideas for powers so we worked a bit on details and etc:

Ethereal Shift

When blocking with a diamond sword, the player is immune to all incoming damage for a short period of time (possibly 4-8 ticks). Immediately after the power is activated, all players&mobs that inflicted damage are knocked back. For example, if the default immunity duration is 4 ticks, then the opponent would be knocked back at the 4th tick of immunity or the tick immediately after the player becomes vulnerable again. So the total time the power is active, at default, would be about 5 ticks. Cool-down for the power at default would be approx. 1 - 3 minutes. If the player stops blocking before the opponent is knocked back, the power is canceled

Batsy

Any bats you come across will follow you; maximum of 4 bats. If idle during the day for more than 2 minutes or if the player is AFK, the tamed bats will attempt to sleep like regular bats; however, they will not flee or awake when the player approaches. They will awake form slumber, teleport to the player, and then continue following the player if the player is more than 20 blocks away. They do not attack/defend the player in any way, this is basically just a power to have bats as pets.

Abduction

A somewhat creepy power.. With the use of disc 11, a player can abduct other players; possibly an add-on to BloodBend and Soul Shatter. Two instances in which a player is abducted: (1) If the player plays disc 11 in a jukebox, their BloodBend power increases when used on players that are in hearing range of the jukebox that is playing disc 11. The player right clicks his victim bare handed and the BloodBend power activates like normal but with a powerful hunger drain leaving the victim with 3 food bars(so the victim cant sprint away); after the duration of the BloodBend is completed, the victim becomes frozen, unable to attack, move, or use items but the victim will regenerate health at half the normal health regeneration speed. While in this frozen state, the victim is immune to all damage; furthermore, the player in turn can walk anywhere within hearing range of disc 11 and the victim will teleport to the player like an enderman (the particle effect and their teleport sound and that creepy weird fuzz sound). (2) The second instance a player can abduct the victim is if the player uses Soul Shatter on the victim. If the player plays disc 11 in a jukebox, their Soul Shatter power increases when used on players that are in hearing range of the jukebox that is playing disc 11. Once the player activates Soul Shatter, the victim is affected and takes damage like normal but has a powerful hunger drain leaving the victim with 3 hunger bars. The victim, if in the hearing range of a juke box playing disc 11, becomes frozen once the victim reaches low health or the duration of Soul Shatter is almost over; the victim is unable to attack, move, or use items. While in this frozen state, the victim is immune to all damage and will not regenerate hunger; furthermore, the player in turn can walk anywhere within hearing range of disc 11 and the victim will teleport to the player like an enderman (the particle effect and their teleport sound and that creepy weird fuzz sound). Side Notes The frozen effect wears off if a: the player goes outside of the hearing range of the song. b: the jukebox is destroyed. c: the disc 11 is taken out of the jukebox. d: the song stops/ends. e: the player is killed. f: the player or the victim exit the game. g: another player uses the BloodBend power on the player or victim. The cool-down for using the abduction power will hopefully be approx. 5 - 10 minutes due to it's complexity and power. This power is separate from BloodBend and Soul Shatter but will only be usable is they player has either BloodBend or Soul Shatter assigned. However, BloodBend and Soul Shatter will work without this power (hopefully). For any questions ask DuffstersATL.

Assassin's Gambit

Whether making your escape or looking for a coup de gras, this power will give you an edge in battle. If the player right clicks with their sword, has golden carrots in their inventory, and is within 10 blocks of another player, all players (except the player who used the power) that are in combat mode within a 20 block radius of the player become cursed with the blindness (potion.blindness) and nausea (potion.confusion) effects for 10 seconds. The player who used the power becomes invisible for 20 seconds or until the player is more than 20 blocks away form all players that were effected. This power is originally for final moves / desperate measures and thus has a cool down of approximately 5 minutes.

WitherBorn

Players with this power get 3 wither heads upon killing a wither; they also receive one wither head when hit by a wither head launched by a wither. Withers will ignore players with this power (if possible) but will attack other players. Players with this power are immune to damage from the wither effect and wither head explosions/impact. Players with this power can fire wither heads like an actual wither by left clicking while holding a wither head. Players hit with these heads will be damaged by the wither effect for 5 seconds. Side Notes If possible, players will launch the same heads launched by withers. But if it is not possible, they will throw the wither head item that have the accuracy of a Ghast fireball. Cool down for launching heads will probably be 1 tick so that it will launch at approx. the same speed a wither does but it could be set to 0 in the config**

Mmk that's it I think haha. Donation sent through paypal, idk if is will be taxed. Sorry for the long post~ o_o

@LazarusVec: Are you using the latest beta version? If you are using the latest beta, Try this:

1) Delete all the s86 powers .jar files and folders from your plugins folder

2) Upload the entire .zip file to your plugins folder. If you deleted it, then you can redownload it from here

3) Unzip the zip file in your plugins folder. This should leave a folder and .jar file.

4) Done! Just start up your server and see if it works!

If you edited the configs for a few of the powers in the beta version, then sorry idk the answer, I'm having that problem too.. :)
