GuildEra
GuildEra
Features:
- Guilds that can be leveled: Every player can only use a limited amount of tools when he is in no guild(depends on the server settings). For example, without a guild you can use stone tools, stone blocks, wooden tools and weapons and wooden blocks. Within a guild he could use then a stone sword and a bow. if he levels the guild, he can later use iron tools and all the other stuff(like diamond armor or redstone).
- Developing a city: If build houses inside of your guild, villagers will come to your guild to live there. They will give you xp and maybe some bread.
- Hierarchical guild structure: Each guild has only one leader. The members are differentiated in trusted and normal members. Only trusted members can invite new players or kick players out of the guild.
- New dungeons with own loot: The dungeons can be spawned by admins. The loot of the dungeon is automically generated and depends on the length of the dungeon.
What is it about?
Its pretty simple. GuildEra implements guilds into Minecraft.
Every player is able to create a new guild or to join an existing one. The guilds can be leveled to get access to higher content, such as using enchantment tables or gold tools.
GuildEra implements also a new kind of dungeon that can be spawned by an admin. These dungeons are generated out of randomly chosen prefabs. Each dungeon will be different this way. At the end of the dungeon waits a treasure for the players who masters the dungeon. This treasure will be autmatically refilled every 24h.
Why should i want guilds?
Well, I often hear that the players want to stick together to a kingdom, a city or something similiar. With this plugin they can stick together to a guild. Each guild has a guildarea where only the guild can build and destroy something, with one exception. Other guilds will be able to attack your guilds with swords and bows.
So another guild can destroy my guild over night when I sleep?
No, they cant. A guild can only be attacked when a player of this guild is online. This way it is guaranted that there is someone who can defend the guild.
Whats the point in attacking other guilds?
I dont know. Whats the point into griefing? Correct, there isnt a point, but a lot of people do it.
So where can i get the plugin??

Are there any new features planned?
To be honest, there isnt planned anything special at the moment. I got several requests about an alliance-system. May I add something in that direction.
Where can i see which level my guild needs, to use a certain tool/block?
Look it up here: http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/requirements.txt
Well, you can tell me a lot, I want to see it!
As you wish:
How can I install it?
Download the newest revision of guildera.jar here: http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/build/
Put it into the plugin directory of your bukkit. Restart bukkit.
If you want to change the basic level of non-guild players(guilds start one level higher when they are founded), start bukkit with GuildEra once. Close bukkit now. There should be a new file in plugin/guildera/ called startLevel.cfg, open it. Change the numberic value to the basic level you want.
Current revision ist rev30!
How do I have to update GuildEra?
Just replace your old guildera_revXX.jar in the plugin folder with the newest one and restart bukkit.
How can I use Guildera now in the game?
Type .help or .commands in the chat to see your possible actions or look the chat commands here up:
http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/chat_commands.txt
Are there any permissions I have to give?
No there arent. The only thing to differt admins from non-admins is the OP-state of bukkit.
Can I modify on which worlds the plugin runs?
Yes. Start your server once and close it. There should be a world.cfg in the plugin/guildera. Open it. You can put the name of a world in each line. The first line marks the primary world. You can only build guilds and dungeons in the primary world. The restrictions coppled to the guild will affect every world you put in the world.cfg. You have to restart your server if you changed anything in the world.cfg.
Is there a config file?
Yes. Start bukkit once with the plugin and than close bukkit. There should now be a config.cfg file in your plugin/guildera directory. To have changes applied, you must restart your server after every change you made.

For everyone who has problems with creating new guilds or saving the guilds: Update to revision 21. Than stop your server and delete the folder of every guild that has level 0 or 0 members in the plugin/GuildEra folder. Restart your server and everything should be fine now.
Hey, the thing with the invitation was a bug that occured because of the .guild in command. I fixed it. If you update to the revision 20 (http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/build/guildera_rev20.jar) everything should work.
To the villager documentation thing. This isn't a documentation exactly but it tells you everything important to know to get successfull villagers: http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/villager_requirements.txt
Hi I recently tried to use this but the plugin is not letting me invite another player to my guild. I used the command .guild invite (player) Then i get this in response: This area belongs to MasterCrafters. which is my guilds name. It doesnt work when the player im inviting is in the area with me or outside of it too. I tried everything and it doesnt work :/. I really like this plugin but ima have to throw it out if this cmd doesnt work :/
Do you think that you could provide documentation on how to make a village?
I.E. house requirements, number of villagers per house, etc.
Well, just put the startLevel to 60. Than everyone should be able to use everything, no matter if he is in a guild or not.
Rev 19 is out.
The plugin is good I only have one problem.. I don't like how you need to be in a guild to use swords bows and armour I want my members to be able to use what ever they want at any time no levels is there anyway to take this out? maybe do a config so you can turn it on or off
I have a question, could you propaly made a standalone plugin with just the dungeon features ? Because i already have too much guild plugins and your dungeons looks great i think ... :D
At the moment the guild area cant be expanded. If you create a guild the area around you will be the guild area. You can't smaller the area and getting blocks destroyed inside of it don't has any effects right now. But i like the idea of expanding the guild area. I will give it a thought.
To the multi-world and permission support thing. If you have a reference where is exlpained how I can implement this I would give it a try, because at the moment i really dont know how to do it.
Great plugin! I love the idea and the potential of this plugin. But how does a guild create an area? How does a guild expand this area? Does getting attacked and losing blocks create a smaller area you own? How many different areas can one guild setup or have?
I already have a server built up and wouldn't mind using this plugin but do not want to run this plugin in every world I already have setup. Would be awesome if I could set this plugin up only in one world.
- Leaders can set guild to invite only or open where anyone can join by typing the join command and does not need to be trusted.
-Implement stats into this and you'll encourage people to pvp/attack more. Like maybe guild pvp kills, guild blocks destroyed, if active how much currency the guild has, how old the guild is, other stats like that. Any player can bring up these stats on any guild. Soon there will be competition to be guild with most kills, blocks destroyed.
- Multi-world or permissions support would be nice. So I can have this plugin running only in one world and not all of them.
- Economy support so leaders can buy more territory, award money for kills, leaders can set an amount if they want to charge per player to join guild. Guild members can buy items from the guild inventory.
- Hardcore mode where there is a special block in the base. If that block is ever destroyed by opposing guild the guild is punished. Maybe a permanent stat on the guild record "Hardcore losses" and they loss guild money and is given to the winning team. This mode uses multi-world/permission support so admin can have it a option for players/guilds to participate in or not. Maybe option to band one guild with another and create big guild wars.
- A way to set a guild friendly or enemy.
Also, what is to stop a powerful guild from raiding new guilds and killing them off right away. because new guilds won't have good weapons ect. and older guilds will have many members and powerful weapons.
Revision 13 is out.
I dont have Skype, but you can just join the teamspeak I mentioned above (ts3.rush2play.de). Pretty always when I am online I am on this Teamspeak server. And if I am offline, just rejoin some hours later to see if I am there.
To your city idea. I dont want to implement fixed buildings. I want to keep the possible freedom of the player as high as possible. But gave that a thought too. Maybe I will use villagers to make a settlement around your guild or something like that if your guild level is high enough.
the next thing I am going to work on is a guild inventory and the possibility to realize a store inside of a guild.
Nice, I actually have an idea. There is one plugin HeroStrongholds, in that plugin you can create cities with different buildings like inn's and etc. that later gives you income. SO back to my idea. Maybe you can implement that building feature like you can expand the territory only when you build a inn or a bank or something like that. And maybe like a war function when you fight for town points or even if you win your town gets money or something and maybe when you win war you get like limited Diamond crafting recipes, like pappers. I have a lot of ideas and i'm creative so if you want to contact me on skype: mikis.rop I actually would want to talk about some stuff :)
Revision 12 uploaded. Fixed a small bug.
Official GuildEra server is online: srv.rush2play.de:25570
Sure. I uploaded rev11 to the svn at right before. Now you can leave guilds and a .txt with all chat commands is at the svn as well. (http://minecraft-guildera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GuildEra/)
Guilds will be automatically disbanded/deleted when all members left the guild. The leader can only leave when he appointed a new leader or when he is the last one in the guild. The thing with the invitation into guilds should now work as well.
Solaba and DigitalWalris are my friends from the server where we are trying to implement your plugin. We are having a few difficulties and could use your help if you wouldn't mind?
There is also a bug which prevents you from leaving a guild if your the only member. And there's no way to delete the guild
Also some sort of Admin Bypass mode would be nice. So admins can build and join any guild they want.
Hello, I would like to suggest a few features.
- A way to teleport back to your base via a .guild sanctuary or something along those lines.
- A chat feature for guilds only such as if your in your guilds territory, you can talk to anyone else who is ALSO in the guilds territory(Your own guild and guild members).
- A way to store information about your guild such as a command .guild motd(Only access-able by admins and guild members).
- A feature to prevent the "Your guild is being attacked by *Name*" spam. Everytime someone even tries to hit a block it spams the message, how about you change it to every 5 blocks that are broken in your territory from a non member, say a message.
- A bugfix to where you can invite people into your faction being trusted. I'm a trusted member and I try to do .guild invite *Name* and it doesn't display any syntax or give the other person a command to accept the invite.
-Thank you and if these features are added this plugin will be very promising, I know it is very new and you're trying hard to work on different features, but if you didn't have any of these features planned, these might give you some ideas.
