xTeam
xTeam Plugin
Brief Description
xTeam is a team-based PvP plugin that allows for creating and joining teams, setting a headquarters and various other features. It is meant for use on hardcore PvP servers where land is not protected.
This is a mod I've been working on for some time. Initially I figured a mod like this would be made eventually and I would just switch to using the alternative instead of mine but surprisingly I haven't quite found an equivalent. Factions is nice but if you want more of a 'hardcore' team plugin, then this mod is for you.
____________________________________________________________________________
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Version 1.8.1 of the plugin contains an Anonymous Error Reporting feature for sending errors directly to me when they are thrown.
This feature does not reveal any private information. In fact the only one thing that could possibly identify the client is encrypted even from me. The benefit of this feature is that I can see which errors are happening the most and fix them more quickly. Having said that, there is an option in the configuration file to disable this feature by setting 'anonymouserrorreporting = false' if you feel so inclined. Just know that if this is disabled, I will not be able to see what errors are happening frequently from your server.

Configuration
Contains data that the plugin uses universally - feel free to change the values to suit your needs. Also contains the permission nodes for the plugin. Use these inside whatever permissions plugin you desire to enable or disable commands for certain people or groups.
NOTE: As this project is still in Beta stage, I will be adding/changing features until I'm satisfied with the basic functionality of the plugin. For updating to a newer version of the plugin, check to see whether there are any configuration file changes. If so, you will want to reload the configuration file or add the new options yourself.

Posted Feb 8, 2013Yes and the latest version of bukkit.
EDIT: I downloaded an earlier version. (R1.0 build) Will see if it works later when my friend logs in. Might turn out I was just careless.
EDIT2: Problem persists while more arise. We can still hurt each other, but we are also kicked from the teams on our next login.
Also, when I issue a command: "/team info", I am told this: "You don't have a team." Or when I issue a command: "/team info Valkyria", I am told this: "An internal error occured while attempting to perform this command." along with a severe null warning in the cmd window.
Pity this keeps happening to me, it just seems so great plugin otherwise.

To get permission, there are a few ways you can configure the plugin:
Option A (recommended): Download PermissionsEX and include the proper permissions for the right people
Option B: Go into the .cfg file and change the value for nopermissions to true instead of false.
Option C: Op yourself so you can set teams and manage them
@daviddajew
I think maybe you are just using the plugin as a user. To set the team leader, just use '/team setleader [teammate]'. After your teammate is the leader, you can leave the team if you wish.

Is this using the default teams feature? If so, there shouldn't be a team leader, all of the server admins are 'team leaders' of sorts. If it is not a default team, have you tried '/team setleader [team] [player]'? You have to either be an op, or have the permission 'xteamadmin.setleader'.

I see. I'm a little busy today, but thanks for the catch, I could have sworn I tested this before I released. If you notice anything else, please post it here. :)
EDIT: Facepalming really hard right now... I changed some things to simpler logic and accidentally compared a Team object to a Player's name... It'll be out in the next patch.

Posted Feb 5, 2013Hi, Ive updated to the latest version, and it appears, at least for me, that players on the same team, can Harm other team mates, even with the friendly fire option set to false in the config.

Me too. I did refactor the listener classes so that the logic only executes what it has to. This did involve some code scrapping and redesign. If you notice any errors being thrown please report them here. ;)
I'll continuously be looking for ways to cut down on response time for the commands and data management. As of right now I just started reading another book that will hopefully give me a few new ideas. Thanks for the support.

I can completely understand that sentiment... However, I did spend a good amount of time on mcpvp.com and ended up hating the fact that there was no land protection. Having said that, I despise it when a land protection plugin gets out of hand. When noobie players can claim land for a cheap price, and keep it forever, it's like paying one month's rent for an apartment and keeping the place for good (and possibly abandoning it...?). As far as my idea goes, land protection would be very, very limited. You can claim land, sure, but you MUST maintain it by paying a nightly 'rent' of sorts to the server. Once you have no more money (like if the team goes inactive from the server and has no income), then the land goes up for grabs (raiding at first, then griefing later). In my humble opinion, this will ensure that active players stay active, and inactive players lose their land over time. The catch is that the more land you claim, the more you have to pay to the server each night from the team bank. So you can claim as much as you like, but the more you claim, the more you pay. Also, if your server has an economy, then this will create a reasonable sink in the market while still keeping it fun. It would be left up to the server admins to decide specific values like price per block per night on the server since each economy is different.

I updated it and uploaded it, but it's pending approval. Here is a link in the mean time for those of you who need it now.

Posted Jan 29, 2013Hey protocos great plugin. Here are some of my suggestions Please don't add claimed land. If you've ever played on mcpvp servers they are better because its easier to raid and people aren't constantly finding bases. Plus with the claimed land you have to have power to claim and if your weak, well you can't really raid.
Also, it would be cool if team members could set multiple warps instead of just hq and home

The plan is to make land protection, stats/scoring, enemy/ally, location tracking and any other xTeam subsystems as 'addons' to the original plugin. Once v1.0 is released (since the project is technically still in ßeta), I'll probably start releasing a .zip file with the addons in it for those servers that choose to add them. ;)
@TheSnowMan1991
I do consider this a bug of sorts, and plan on making the design more flexible. Look for improvements in a future update.
@GODDAMNBBQ
Another issue that I would classify as a 'bug'. Working on it...
P.S. - This semester is getting little-by-little more stressful. I do intend on keeping the plugin as updated as I possibly can, but I also hope y'all can be patient with me. Thanks for the continued support... ;)

Hey protocos! Permanent teams would be fantastic! I had a problem that when the server was reset, the HQ was reset for default teams! I am trying to set up two permanent teams - Where they are default and the team joining is automatic and balanced... i thought that the loss of information was to do with a bug - but i suppose it is because 'nothing is permanent'?
