SparkTrail
An advanced and powerful particle trail plugin
Great for donation perks! Dazzle your friends with tons of unique particle effects!
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.
The SparkTrail plugin aims to utilise the range of particle effects Craftbukkit has to offer. Fire, ender, smoke and even love hearts are only a small portion of the particle effects this plugin utilises. With over 20 unique effects, there's guaranteed to be one that 'tickles your fancy'!
The integration of Player, Location and Entity particle effects, along with a long list of Sound effects comes packaged inside the SparkTrail plugin. We also integrate the plugin's features with newer Minecraft additions, including complete Command Block support for modifying Trail effects.
SparkTrail comes with an auto-updater to save you, as a server owner, from continually checking this page for new files. It simply connects to dev.bukkit.org and compares the versions of available files. If you do not wish for SparkTrail to perform this check, navigate to the Configuration File (config.yml) in the SparkTrail directory of your plugins folder and change "checkForUpdates" and "autoUpdate" to "false". The first value disables the version comparison altogether and the second updates the plugin automatically if new files are detected.
Metrics is used to collect plugin statistics. Only data such as plugin version and players online is collected. If you do not wish for this data to be collected, disable it in the 'Plugin Metrics' folder of your 'plugins' directory.
This video applies to SparkTrail 2 ONLY!
SparkTrail is open source
Pull requests are welcome!
is there a way to induce the effect on another player? that would be sweet. thanks
@spy85
You actually tried to create a block break effect that doesn't exist? :P
It makes sense to only use blocks....Guess I'll be adding something in to catch that...
WARNING! Depending on what id you use for /spark blockid it can crash your client!
@photocritic
Not yet, but I can add that now if you want ;) I'll add support for all effects.
The next release is peobably going to be a major version as it has an inventory style interface for choosing effects as well as the commands.
@DSH105
May I create this effect on the block?
Uploaded Version 1.3
New Features:
I am looking for more particle effect ideas. Please post them here so I can add them :)
@joshwenke
In what way exactly? Do you mean different languages or the display messages in-game?
@TheFluffey
Just ran a test; the plugin works with CB 1.4.5-R0.2 (as it says in the download) but not with CB 1.4.5-R0.3, as there is currently no version available for that build.
Is there a way to edit the localization?
@DSH105
Won't load. Fails to start up, error: http://pastebin.com/qgz2EFxW
Update: Uploaded v.1.2.
If anyone wants to test for bugs or download the new (hopefully bug free) version, shoot me a PM so I can send you the download link without having to wait for the Bukkit approval process.
@Dommbringer
Ah, okay.
And just a quick note to everyone, I've almost removed all the bugs with the rainbow swirl (block break effect is done). This will be in v.1.2. Sorry for the wait :S
@DSH105
Im good with youtube stuff ;D and I am generally good with plugins, I have it all worked out, so no im fine, but I wont be making any vids for a few days anyway :P so no need to worry about me waiting for 1.1.1
@Dommbringer
No problem at all.
You need any help with how to use it?
EDIT: Please wait for v.1.1.1 though :P. I found some bugs in the others. It should be approved by this afternoon.
@DSH105
Mind if I include this plugin in a video? (If I get round to it :L)
@Kitten_Tails
Currently in the process of editing and uploading. Expect it this week. If anyone would liketo do a video, please shoot me a PM
Anyone know where I can find a demo video? Or can someone make one please?
@Dommbringer
Block break will definitely be fixed in the next update. It will also include a new rainbow potion swirl, so look out for that. Permissions will hopefully be fixed this afternoon...
Permissions dont seem to work :( and block break can't be turned off still, amazing plugin :D
Had an issue with adding support for all block break effects. This has pushed back the release until a bit later on... EDIT: Decided to upload the new file now. It includes the block break effect (/spark blockid <id>), BUT this is extremely buggy and does not work properly yet. I hope to fix it soon. Besides that, Version 1.0 now has PERMISSIONS.
