Villages
PLEASE READ THIS
This video below sums up what's happening with Villages (and all my other plugins) and most likely a lot of other plugins, this is just my two cents and I would appreciate if you would watch this video.
What is it?
Similar to plugins like Towny, We wanted to create a simplified version, more of the, let the player decide, rather than letting the plugin or an administrator decide.
How it works
Basically, a player can pay money to create a village (if economy is used, or simply it's free) at the chunk they're standing on, and invite players. Players can only be invited to a single village, the residents can then deposit money into the village which the mayor can spend to expand the village.
Due to some recent Bukkit changes I have to point out that this plugin checks for updates using the Curse API, and you can disable this feature at any time if you wish, simply check under the configuration page for the update setting and how to disable it.
Future plans
So far the plugin is fairly basic, I wanted to put it on Bukkit, see how it goes and if you people like it, I'll add more stuff, you can comment what you'd like to see added below if you wish.
Some of the basic ideas I have now are:
- Regions, which may have one or more Villages in them
- Wars between Villages and/or regions

Hey, sorry It's taken me soo long to get back, but I'm on the road at the moment and won't be able to do a lot until Tuesday. as far as permissions go, everything DID change on v2.00 but they are the ones listed on the Permissions page, so issue those and it should work, if it doesn't then I'll look into it when I get back.
@mkezar
this could be a few things.. make sure there's no errors on the console, things like failing to save the Villages files can cause this, or if you're using SQL make sure that the database is compatible with the plugin. Otherwise if there's still issues, edit the config.yml and add "village admin save" to the "commands.villagecreated" part, so that Villages will be saved when created.
@mobilephone2003
The perms did change a bit for v2.00, I added the command aliases in v2.01 but only for the /village command, things like /v and /town etc. Command help is a bit broken at the moment, and like I said I need to wait until I get back from this trip
thanks to you all for waiting through this while I get all the little bugs sorted out.

Thankyou! All successful now, but we're receiving permissions errors on all commands, same as @math132d. Looks as though the perms haven't changed either, plugin or our side.
@Gamerboy59 I use cShortcut for aliases (not meaning to advertise, genuine help in the meantime) and that works sufficiently. I use commands such as "vlist" for village list.

Strange error, seems to be your operating system locked up the file as the plugin tried to save? It's not really required, so I took the code out and just updated the converter again, please wait for bukkit to approve.
@Gamerboy59
I'll look into adding command aliases in the next update

Yeah, I always thought that Towny was a massive mess and a pain to configure. Hopefully Villages is suited to you and your server.

It won't stop them entering, they can enter but the config can be set to block breaking and placing.
@mobilephone2003
I'll get to work on the converter ASAP

Posted Oct 1, 2013"INFO Error! Failed to save/load Upkeep data yml."
This is all i see on 1.31, which i cant upgrade until the converter is made.
I generated a new upkeepdata.yml, same thing.

Posted Oct 1, 2013Hey, than you for making such an awesome plugin! I just have one question, if a player is wandering around and stumbles upon a village, is there a type of wall that prevents them from entering, or can they just enter? But, thank you I'm most certainly getting this!

Posted Oct 1, 2013NOTE
I just released Villages v2.00, and the plugin has been completely reprogrammed from scratch. With this all old data has been converted to a new format, I will be making a converter for all data soon but it is not done.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP OLD DATA, DO NOT USE THIS VERSION, YOUR DATA WILL BE DELETED

Posted Sep 28, 2013Only thing this plugin needs for now is something to show the border. I think torches at the corners of the plot would be good indicator. Keep up the good work!

Hey this MAY be caused by a few things.. The most likely is that the plugin has to clear all villages in order to save the new villages, but if an error occurs in this time it will permanently delete the village. Another is that if a village cannot meet upkeep, it will get deleted. I may change this around in villages version 2.00 which I'm working on but no garentee
@sarsarmarut88
I'll see about it in Villages version 2.00, as long as the plugin stores it as a LivingEntity it should be detected by Villages in v2.00 just fine.
@mobilephone2003
I'll see about it in Villages 2.00, an idea I had was a command to show a map of the nearby area and outline in red the border of the Village, but this may take some time so I'll see about adding a smaller feature soon

Posted Sep 12, 2013Hello, I have a big problem. I am a donater which Donated $10. Sometimes randomly when I join my server all of the towns are deleted and all of the citizens are really mad. Especially because one village had 250 citizens then It got deleted. Please fix this ASAP!
Thanks!

Posted Sep 12, 2013Hey! love your plugin, We are currently using it on our MCPC+ server and it functions very well with only limited configuration. However we do have a additional functionality we would love for you to be able to include.
We are currently Using Worldguard as well and it happens to be that Wolrdguard itself has no problem at all stopping the spawns of our MoCreatures mod.
However your villages only appear to be stopping the spawning of vannillla mod entities, and it would be really nice if we could just use the blanket mob-spawning flag from WorldGuard to stop it over the villages claims.
Thanks again,
Sarsarmarut!
P.S. To anyone who is glancing over this plugin and running a forge based server, I highly recommend this as your go to player based protection plugin, Blanket protections over all mod machines and tools!
