We have created this plugin, since there is currently no well-functioning plugins for ships that is well updated at the moment. This plugin will realize sailing and sea battles.
To do
- Improve sails manipulations
- Improve sinking (50% done)
- Make autorefreshing of ships
Features
- Realistic movement of ships
- Realistic turning
- Ships take damage from accidents
- Speed, acceleration, and turning depends on its size and sails
- Realistic takelage of ship
- Pumps (fast drain of water)
- Fast quenching of fire
- Climbing
- Small protection in shipyards
- Realistic fire: blocks burns for a longer time, and rain doesn't quench fire. It's made for removing broken masts from the game and for the smooth burning of everything. Otherwise ships may burn quickly
- Ship may kill players
- Cannons integration!
Installing
Soon will be downloaded archive with plugin and config file. Just unpack it into folder "plugins".
Configuration
Using
Click this YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1WDdD0zv7E
OR
Be prepared, because the creation of a ship needs a lot of time. Ready? Click! (wait until pages and movie will finish)
Warning
If you see messages like "no ship detected", know: You have to stay on ship in moment of moving to be part of the crew of the ship! Otherwise the ship won't add you to the crew!
If you fell out off your ship, know: you were not on the ship or you tripped and fell off. You have to sneak to hold on unstable place, like a mast or the edge of the ship.
Redstone don't moves!
All inventory blocks don't moves (you can only use it while ship is staying) ! But you can to use vaults or minecart chests.
If your configuration file doesn't works, just copy default configuration
Sorry for bad English.
:)
could you make air ships also? and dose it need any mods?
If there's any basic stuff you need done (parsing commands, loading configuration, etc.) then I'll be glad to help. I can't do anything really complex like creating code for acceleration of vessels, but I can help out with the more boring and basic stuff. You can PM me if you need my help now.
when isail make finish, I will donate!!
if you need an english-italian traductor, after the end of the school i may help you
Thx)))
I'd try and help, but I just started programming and have problems doing basic stuff...
I'm learning fast though, and if I get good enough, I'll pitch in.
many people start working on great plugins like this but fail, leaving the project like in the case of the plugin WitchCraft. I really hope you'll be able to finish this fantastic plugin and i want to thank you for your work
JI is now having problems so he stoped coding.If someone could help PM me or him.I'll tell him the message.I can't code yet.I'm trying to learn but I have some bugs in my test porgramming. So I can't help him :(
@liquidbear99
Ok, me need you help. I have some problems. Send me PM.
one word EPIC
Please do NOT let this plugin die. I've been looking for a mod like this since forever! You have my full support. I'm actually already making a 50k x 50k ocean map with unique islands inspired by One Piece. No, I am not a little kid making random promises, the project has been started and WILL be finished. Hopefully by then, this project will too. Cheers, from level 75 MinecraftPlanateer.
This plugin will be awesome! I would consider using signs to control the ship for easy use. If you need a tester, I can help, but I can't code or translate. I can help as much as you need.
i think that when finished, this will be one of the best plugins we have ever seen till now!
@FlOppythp
You can help me with progmamming. It so hard plugin for me.
MAYBE, (See the maybe?) you could have the ship in the little picture as a spawn able ship as a schematic. Just an idea.
@Terraquis, @JIJIJI. @tennantluwis
Maybe with sign based technology, then it checks for wood @ wool blocks one by one, before uniting them into a ship? You can check for blocks VIA a loop.
@Terraquis
By signs: all is mechanical.
@JlJlJl
How do you plan to control the ships? I think that a sign-based system similar to the Ships plugin (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ships/) would be great. Also, would there be airships as well?
@tennant_luwis
Some of your ideas are planned by me ;)
@JlJlJl
And here are some my ideas.
@JlJlJl
maybe it could be hard to make the plugin recognize the blocks as a one ship.
so, the worldedit plugin source will be very helpful
how about select under water and above water part?
And player must select their ship on the a.i.r not connected to the ground.
After selected your ship judged as a one entity and effected by gravity [physics?]
fell down to the water.
Here some process.
1. select blocks. [ by worldedit]
2. claim your ship [ perhaps economy system :) Great]
3. Then your ship effected by the gravity and fell down to the water
Ps. really really cool if compatible with faction, residence, other plugins.
