NPCWorkers
Always been there when we try to make the best building in the world and then you run out of wood, or stone or something else but you really cant be bothered to go get it yourself or youll lose your vision of the building!. You attempt to pay someone on the server to trade and then realise everyone else is doing the same thing as you but 1000 blocks away. This allows you to call over a NPC Worker to help build walls, build whole buildings, start towns mine for you and do repetitive tasks, you use it as you want to. These workers wont work for nothing though, youll need to pay them diamonds per however long it takes them to do the job.
Currently in the planning stages but trying to find a few coders who would like to help I have drafted up this to do list to get the ball rolling:
Create Base Plugin- Done - 27/08/11Create BOB-Plugin reader- Done - 27/08/11Create NPC's that walk around aimlessly- Done - 28/08/11- Create basic tasks like chop nearest trees, find ores - Kind of... Working on 28/08/11
- Implement a money/diamond system into the basic tasks
- First Beta Release For Testing -
- Make a macro like system to create repetitive tasks by showing the NPC what to do.
- Teach the NPC small obstacles like lava and too high blocks - will actually probably be coded before first release
- Make use of the BOBPlugin reader to create buildings
- View suggestions to add more.
Please finish it. I want to use this plugin, i can see that is a very good plugin becose i always wanted one so. Please Q.Q
hows this going?
any new progress? :D
Oh, great!!! Please make 1st version!!! It IS great idea
At step 5, does the "money" portion of that mean it'll be compatible with iConomy?
Rather than release to the public domain I'd recommend you licence it under the GPL or LGPL and provide the existing source on github, etc. You might get a few passing coders interested in this plugin and providing a helping hand.. ;)
How goes the progress now? I am really looking forward to seeing a Dev build or a preview.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!! PLZ PLZ PLZ Try your Hardest to get this finished :D
I LOVE IT !
I want that the plugin going to be ready xDDD Do you have a date?
wow pretty damn amazing and very clever :) keep it up oh and if you ever want testing im willing to help =)
I see you're taking big steps.
Where is the suggestion forum that you mentioned? I'll put it here: As a part of this plugin, NPC's should be able to build houses. It could be interesting to invert the System, so that not NPC's bring the materials but the player brings material to them... that they can build. This can be rewarded with money or even experience, where you could hook into LevelCraft or similar.
Keep on doing
Pleas finish this plugin :(
When will it be ready?
hey would love to help in the bata stage let me know when it comes out new server to test it on. :D
So with this is it possible to make it so the NPC's only harvest materials like mining, excavation, woodcutting, and farming?
I really like this idea alot I just don't want NPC's building for players on my server. Although crafting I don't mind so much. Also will this have iConomy support to hire labor or permissions support? Hope I'm not too much of a bother.
If you want somebody to help test for you too send me a PM. :)
Just a few updates on progress as it seems to have got a bit of interest, I will be using Citizens for the backend of the NPC (You wont have to type any commands) its just because Citizens is already made with a brilliant api so there is absolutely no point in me recreating that. it also means I dont have to worry about that side of the plugin and can get straight to making the NPC's awesome. I do currently have a working version of the NPCs walking to trees etc just a case of making them look like they are cutting them down etc and not like a computer slowly computing what it has to do next.
Please post in the suggestions forum if you have any features you would like to suggest before I go through with all that I have in mind at the moment. As it would be alot easier for me to add as I go along.
Hey, this plugin is great! But i just cant find where to download. Is it still in progress or where can i download it please help
I really like the idea of this! I can't wait to try this! Once it's a bit more developed I may make a nice video intro to the plugin :P
