Safe Creeper update v1.2 - Wither and more...

I just released a new version of Safe Creeper. This update contains some important updates. One of the important updates is the Wither, with the version 1.2 the Wither control has been added to disable damage done by Withers (The Wither Skulls, which are shot by the Wither and do damage, does have their own control). A few other controls has been added too, for example WitchControl and BatControl for a few other new mobs. Please check the changelog for all updates and new features. Also, the whole permissions core is rewritten, it should now support all major permission plugins (PermissionsEx, BukkitPermissions, bPermissions, Essentials Gropu Manager, zPermissions and Vault)

Download

Because the bukkit administrators need to validate the new plugin file, the download probably isn't available yet on this page. I highly recommend you to download the file from bukkit or my website:

How to update Safe Creeper from 1.1.3

If you want to update Safe Creeper on your server when you have version 1.1.3 already installed, there are only two things you've to do. Please overwrite the old SafeCreeper.jar file with the new downloadable one. I also highly suggest you to remove the global.yml file and then to install the new one. If you don't, the WitherControl, WitchControl, BatControl, WitherSkullControl and a few other features will not be available!

How to install Safe Creeper 1.2

If you haven't installed an earlier version of Safe Creeper on your server you've to do the following to install Safe Creeper on your server. The first thing you've to do is download the files of Safe Creeper 1.2. Inside this downloaded .zip file is a SafeCreeper.jar file. You need to place this file into your plugins folder of your server. Make sure you've shutdown your server first. Then you also need to copy the SafeCreeper (from the downloaded .zip file) into your plugins folder, because this folder contains all the config files. If you are not able to add this folder you don't have to copy them. Safe Creeper will automaticly generate it's config files if they aren't available on startup. Althought I highly suggest to copy this folder if you are able to. Ater this you can make your changes in the config files if you want and you can startup your server again.

Changelog for 1.2

• Added the WitherControl to get the ability to control them
• Added the WitherSkullControl to get the ability to control them
• Added the WitchControl to get the ability to control them
• Added the BatControl to get the ability to control them
• Combined Skeletons and Wither Skeletons with each other into SkeletonControl
• Added option to FireballControl to set if they can damage players
• Safe Creeper now supports all major permissions systems (bPermissions, zPermissions and Vault have been added, the others are improved and updated)
• Using a newer Bukkit API
• Metrics should now save a few more statistics
• The Safe Creeper java packages have been renamed to a lowercase name
• Fixed some minor bugs

@Juelz0312

Really!? Well I'll release an update tomorrow then. I don't have time today anymore I'm also going to bed very soon.

@Machinimatt

What part of the plugin isn't working? Is the whole control disable everywhere, is the whole control enabled everywhere? Is it that you can still place lava? If you can that might be because you have a bypass permission to place lava.

Could you please tell me what happend now, and what your expected result is?

@sikkens1997

Yes sure it will. Now, before the new version is released with the wither control, you can still control it. Please check out the 'OtherControl' available in the global.yml file, you could block withers which this control for a while

@vaquen

The strange part, that on my server creepers are disabled and TNT still works, as usual. But yes, he also reported this problem. I'll take a look at the source tomorrow. If you are a developer you could also do it yourself if you want to, the source is available (underneath the download header)

Safe Creeper usage statics

Inside Safe Creeper version 1.1.2, usage statics where added. From now you are able to see the usage statics online. Because these Safe Creeper versions where released today the statics aren't to rely on yet. The statics will probably show the real usage numbers one month later I think, because everybody has to update Safe Creeper to a higher version. Bellow you could find a usage statics image. Underneath the image you could find a link to the page with more statics, this page contains graphs which shows you how much creeper explosions are nerfed by Safe Creeper for example, thanks to Metrics which provides this statics system.

Safe Creeper API support

In one of the future updates Safe Creeper will provide fully API support. This API support should contain a lot of features. On the bottom of this message you can find a link to the API page. This page contains a list of all features which are going to be added. If you have any whishes for functions which should be added, please visit the page and see how to apply a new function idea. Thanks in advance ;)

@EpicLolOne

Hello,

What could this plugin do for you? This is an amazing plugin for server administrators, they can control a lot of things, for example the administrators could disable TNT damage to the world, or maybe you want that players won't lose their XP on death, or you want that Fireballs from ghasts will damage the world but won't damage a player. You could setup all these things.

Does the plugin have any commands to use? Well, the plugin does have commands, most of them are to reload it's files. There are a few commands to change the settings in-game, but that's more for advanced users I think if they know how the config works, (these commands can change the config files for you in-game, which is a lot faster than editing the config file manually, it's a great feature)

How do I setup this plugin Well, you've to setup the plugin with it's config files, or with the commands, but I highly suggest to use the config file itself Now when you download the file, the .zip file should contain the default config files, if it doesn't an the file is only a .jar file, put it into your plugins folder, run your server one time and Safe Creeper will automaticly generate it's config files for you ;) Now, you've to go into the Safe Creeper folder, there's a config file and a global file. The config file is used for some default configuration files of Safe Creeper. The global file is used to setup all the stuff you want. Now open the global file. For example if you want to disable TNT damage to the world, you've to search for the subject 'TNTControl' in the file, you could use CRTL+F to search which is a lot faster. Then inside the TNT control you've a lot of options, one of the options is 'DestoryWorld', this is enabled by default (DestroyWorld: true), to disable the TNT damage to the world, just put 'DestroyWorld' to false. Now make sure the Enabled mode inside the TNT control is also enabled (Enabled: true), if enabled is set to false it will ignore the whole TNT control and it will use the default vanilla Minecraft way. After Enabled is enabled and DestroyWorld is set to true, you are done. Now go in-game, if you haven't started your server yet, restart it. If your server was already running make sure you reload the config file, you could use the following command to do this in-game (/safecreeper reload), you could also restart your server if you want to. Now you've set DestroyWorld to false, if you ignire TNT it won't destroy the world anymore, you could setup a lot of things! For example you could even disable that zombie's are able to break doors. I highly suggest you to watch the tutorial video I made, this will explain a lot for you, you can find it on the bottom of this reply! Safe Creeper also supports Multiworld support, with this feature you could only disable DestroyWorld for TNT in a certain world. Inside the Safe Creeper folder you've another folder called 'worlds'. Now for example you've the world 'world', when you make a file inside the worlds folder called 'world.yml' you've created a Multiworld file. So you can create another file in there with the name of the world. For example, if (in the global.yml file) DestroyWorld is still disabled it won't destroy any blocks like I said above. Now if you copy the whole TNTControl with all it's nodes and settings into the new file you created (the 'world.yml' file), and you set DestroyWorld to 'true', only in the world.yml file, TNT could only destroy blocks in the world 'world' since you enabled that. I hope this helps a lot ;)

Again, I highly suggest you to watch the video I made, this will explain everything:

P.S. Later on I'll create a little software program, which gives you the ability to easily change the config file with descriptions and everything! :)

Safe Creeper source

Finally, I put the Safe Creeper source in github. So other developers are able to take a look at the code and fix things if they found a problem for example. Please don't use the source for you own projects without asking, don't use the source untill I respond.

@Turt1zzle

Today, I played a survival map with two of my friends on my server. This time I didn't had the problem with the TNT/Creeper issue. I still don't know what happend. I looked for about 3 hours on the whole code to find the solution but I couldn't find it. Like I said I didn't had this problem today. Could you check if you still have this same problem with the newest Safe Creeper version.

Also about the source. I'm not going to keep the source secret. I'm going to release the source, so other developers and people could edit the source to make it better. This will be the first project I'm uploading to GitHub, a while ago I tried to upload the source but I don't understand how GitHub work :(, after I found this out I'll make the source available (also for probably all my other projects ;) )
