Bukkit

Ok, so it's still a little shaky, but here's the new version of Turrets with those new features. Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4gvqwn1a6701rv5

Notes on how to do things:

Linking chests to turrets

The chest must be in the 8-member neighborhood of the turret, on the same y-level as the post of the turret. You make any chest-turret link that follows that rule, and chests can be linked to multiple turrets (like if you had 4 turrets surround one chest, they could all be linked to it, or only 3, or whatever).

You then type "/turrets addAmmoBox", click the turret to link, then the chest to link

Removing chest from turret ammo

Must be linked to the turret. Type "/turrets removeAmmoBox", click the turret to unlink, then the chest.

Setting the ammo type of a turret

By default, newly created turrets require a linked chest that has ammo in order to fire. To change a turret's ammo type to unlimited (no chest ammo required), type "/turrets setAmmoType unlimited".

To change a turret's ammo type to use linked chest ammo, type "/turrets setAmmoType useAmmoBox".

Note that turrets with unlimited ammo can still have chests attached to them, they just won't require/use the ammo.

You can also cancel any of those commands before they are finished (clicking the required blocks) by typing "/turrets cancel"

You can also reload the turrets of the server by using "/turrets reload". If turrets aren't spawning right on join/startup for some reason, use this command.

Still very alpha/beta-like. Needs testing before you go using it on your important server ;)

Okay, so a little update here.

I still need to flesh out a couple things before I release this new (very Beta-ee) release of Turrets, but here's what I've added so far:

-Turrets will actually be remembered after a server is shutdown and restarted. (note: Sometimes turrets don't completely load, a lot like how sometimes Citizens citizens won't always load. So, like in Citizens, I made a reload command just for Turrets. I'm not sure why this happens, but this is the stop-gap for now.)

-Added "/turrets reload", which reloads only the Turrets plugin. This is in case some turrets don't correctly spawn on server start up or when a player joins.

-Added manual firing control of a turret if you enter it. Doubles the firing rate when a player is inside. Currently anyone can man any turret.

-Added "/turrets addAmmoChest", which will attach an adjacent chest (chest must be adjacent to fence post of turret, or for a doublechest, one half must be) to the turret for ammo. I currently haven't actually added the need for turrets to use said ammo. Note that if you add another chest to a single ammo chest, it will correctly make it a double ammo chest. Also note that turrets will share ammo chests if the chest is adjacent to both.

Still needed before I put out the new version:

-Removal of ammo chests when the chest is destroyed (or via command from a player).

-Add option to make turret use ammo. My plan is for the default to be it needs ammo from at least one attached ammo chest, with the option via command for it to be unlimited ammo.

-Put locations of ammo chests into turrets.yml to keep them after server shutdown.

That said, is anyone still watching to see if this is updated? If you are, lemme know here, or if not, I may need to look into making a new plugin entry on BukkitDev so this thing gets visibility again.

So I recompiled Turrets with all the new dependencies. It seems to work okay (I tested it really quickly). Here you go guys :) Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/?dn35c4kptvewqu1

P.S. I by no means understand all the ins and outs of this plugin, though it's cool enough that I may learn how just how it works so I can develop it more.

note: I branched off of the mainline in the repositories and uploaded the version I linked here. Still awaiting approval though
