Bukkit

BETA 0.9b

• Modified the ArrowType.setArrowType() method to set its display name, item meta, and add it to the array list
• Changed the way the /givearrows command handles arrow type listing, and fixed the magnetic arrow not displaying on the error msg
• Added an alias to "/alchemicalarrows version"... "/alchemicalarrows info" now works as well
• Refactored the trajectory of water arrows to shoot faster underwater
• Changed the SpecializedArrowShootEvent method "getPlayer()", to "getShooter()" which returns a ProjectileSource instead of a Player
• Changed the way arrow pickups are handled. (Though still lots of work to do on this)

Note: I've now created an official rough documentation of the API which can be found by -= Clicking Here =-

BETA 0.9a

• Fixed a spelling mistake on the /givearrow error message (I KNOW!!! "DARKNESS", NOT "DARKENSS", SORRY ;-;)
• Fixed "crafts" option in confusion arrow using the necrotic arrow "crafts" option
• Changed the way arrows are handled in WorldGuard regions
  • Fixed being able to shoot an entity while outside of a pvp denied region if they are in a pvp denied region
  • Changed the messages sent to the players when damaging an entity protected by pvp (A bit more discrete about having WorldGuard on your server)
• Modified the "/aa version" sub-command to display the API version of the plugin, and removed the "Other Popular Plugins" tab in place
• Added a new Magnetic Arrow! Crafting recipe: Arrow + Iron Ingot. "Attracts" entities towards you. Much like the magic arrow but in reverse (Permissions: arrows.shoot.magnetic)
• Improved the API and added a new Enum class for "ArrowType" to get and set a type of arrow
• Changed the way arrows are handled! They are now handled through ArrowTypes

BETA 0.8b

• OFFICIAL fix for WorldGuard related PvP Flag issues!!! This has been tested and it 100% works!!!
• Further developed the internal API to simplify most of the code involving sending messages
• Created a basic External API for developers that would like to build hooks into this plugin
  • Please note that the events in the external API are used to combat the WorldGuard issue. Be cautious using these events
  • Rough documentation can be found by -= Clicking Here =-
• Removed the unused death messages for specialized arrows
• Nullified the effects of a flame bow when using a fire arrow. Could cause issues with fire ticks and does not look good with particles
• Precised and further densified the Air and Magic Arrow's particles effects (They're not all over the place :P)
• Fixed the /givearrow command being able to give stacks of 0. Now can only give a minimum of 1 arrow
• Fixed "/givearrow life" giving a death arrow instead
• Fixed the permission for /givearrow not working properly
• Added an error message if an invalid arrow is specified in the /givearrow command
• Started creative development on a new arrow - Expect a new elemental arrow soon

BETA 0.8a

• Added a new command with 3 sub commands: /alchemicalarrows (alias: /aa)
  • /aa version - View version information about the plugin. No permission node
  • /aa reload - Reload the configuration file for AlchemicalArrows. Permission: arrows.command.reload
  • /aa killallarrows - Kill every single specialized arrow in the world (admin purposes). Permission: arrows.command.killallarrows
• Added a new command for administrators to give specialized arrows: /givearrow <arrow> [count] [player]. Permission: arrows.command.givearrow
• All above sub-commands with permissions default to OP only
• Removed the "AlchemicalArrows" section of the config (accidentally left it in last version)
• Added a config option for DeathArrow to disable the possibility of instant death (default: true)
• Added a VERY basic internal API for creating elemental arrows (not meant for external development purposes, but can be used if developers really want to. No documentation will be provided)
• Added a supplimentary recipe for darkness arrows. You can now use both coal or charcoal
• Fixed some stability issues with the newly developed water arrow

BETA 0.7

• Removed the debug messages on the necrotic arrow I accidentally left in (xD oops)
• Removed creeper explosions when hit with a fire arrow. That would require version dependent code (trying to avoid that)
• Changed the arrow damage event priority to lowest rather than low (SHOULD fix WorldGuard issues)
• Added a fix to prevent arrow effects from occurring in Non-PvP worlds
• Fixed life arrows having a chance of dealing damage?
• Fixed the extra pickup sound when picking up a regular item
• Changed Infinity bows decreasing the arrow count in creative mode
• Added support for version 1.8.8. Should work for all 1.8.x versions now
• Un-nullified water arrows. They will now fire 3x as fast underwater. Though be careful, as they will quickly decrease in speed

(Sorry this update took so long. I was in the process of creating Alchemical Arrows, when I had realized that 1.9 actually had potion effect arrows. These plans are now cancelled, and I will only be creating / developing new Elemental Arrows instead. However, the original plugin title will stand :))

BETA 0.6b

• Added a new and final Elemental Arrow (for now ;D)
  • Necrotic Arrow: If the arrow hits a player, all entities within a 50x50 area will be targeted towards them
• Fixed the permission nodes for the two new Elemental Arrows ("arrows.shoot.confusion" and "arrows.shoot.necrotic")
• Set ProjectileDamage events to LOW to allow for ALL PvP / grief protection plugins to prevent my arrows from damaging other players
• Changed arrows so they will ONLY work on LivingEntities
• Temporarily nullified the Water Arrow for future plans (it has absolutely 0 use)
• Fixed Air, Earth, and Magic arrows not applying modified vectors properly

BETA 0.6a

• Fixed fire arrows not displaying flame
• Fixed picking up a fire arrow returning a red arrow
• Added particles to the darkness arrow. When a player is hit, smoke particles appear as well
• Added a new Elemental Arrow. Confusion Arrow.
  • Damaging an entity with this arrow will reverse the entity's direction. If it's a player, they will receive confusion

(Plans for a new Elemental Arrow are in progress)

I apologize for no updates for a short while. My computer had a virus and I completely wiped by system. Luckily, all plugin development was stored on an external hard drive and I'm ready to code again :D

BETA 0.5c

• Changed the link for reporting bugs upon an op join. Forgot to send you to the tickets page instead :P
• Fixed errors when a player dies to anything but an arrow

BETA 0.5b

• Fixed the death messages not displaying when a player dies
• Fixed accidentally making version 0.5 only function in version 1.8.3
• Fixed the infinity arrows and cleaned up the code a lot
• Cleaned up the infinity arrow handling and shortened the class by 100 lines of code

BETA 0.5

• COMPLETELY redesigned and recoded the infrastructure of Alchemical Arrows. It will no longer rely on ArrayLists. This will save your server some memory, and arrows will react more efficiently
• Simplified the ability to add new arrows in the future. This process should be faster for me to update due to the new method of arrow handling
• Significantly decreased the file size which also allows for a faster process to start the plugin
• Changed teleportation of spectral arrows. Will keep player direction when teleporting the player
• Fixed picking up arrows returning to regular arrows. They will now keep their metadata (Temporary mimic, will re-code later)
• Added a new general config option to determine whether arrow nametags should display or not

Please delete and let the plugin reload your configuration file in order to view the newly generated one. It is very important that you do so, or the plugin may have some issues on startup

BETA 0.4a

• Fixed earth arrows changing the players direction when teleporting them into the ground
• Fixed many of the arrows interacting with non-living entities (such as armour-stands / item frames)
• Fixed the "0 knockback" bug on all of the arrows that did not involve vectors
• Fixed entities not targetting the player that shot them with a magical arrow
• Fixed arrows being treated as null objects rather than arrows
• Changed direct damage from the plugin, to the damage from the event (SHOULD fix WorldGuard/GriefPrevention/Towny(etc.) issues)
• Changed the density of the particles on the light arrow
• Removed the spider spawn when a player is hit by a darkness arrow
• Removed the ability to use these arrows with an infinity bow (TEMPORARY, SLOPPY FIX! WILL CLEANSE CODE LATER)
• Added a new configuration option to determine the amount of crafted arrows returned
• Added custom death messages in case a player was killed by a specialized arrow

BETA 0.3

• Redesigned the look of the config file for future enhancements on specific arrows
• Added a "Craftable" config option to define whether the arrow is able to be crafted or not
• Added permission nodes for shooting arrows. A reference can be found on the main page under the permission section
• Recoded crafting recipe handling. If a crafting recipe is disabled in the config, it will not load into RAM

Please delete and let the plugin reload your configuration file in order to view the newly generated one. It is very important that you do so, or the plugin may have some issues on startup

BETA 0.2a
