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.
:)
More stable version released: v0.4. Now it is most debugged raw plugin.
Sorry Guys its almost impossible to make a Video Tutorial without getting bugs at that state of the Plugin. I´ll update the Textdescription of the Plugin with some example Screenshots and do the Tutorial Video later. For you to understand how to set Masts, Sails and Takelage.
@TheSkinProBuilder
What have you expected the Plugins title is iSail the size of sails affect the moving speed no sails = no moving
Maybe he can do some Steamships later but its only Sailingships till official Release and thats just fine for now.
Its just sad that ships absolutley need sails,
Lastest jar file is under review. And I deleted last jar, because I found big bug. Wait, man and type "/iSail broadcast", but I don't recommented to do that.
@JlJlJl
Well hmm maybe it is better to make the ship move less, now you still have the silly 3! 2! 1! MOVE!! This is really not the way to go in my opinion, but then again what is anyway.
Also since the jar has been removed and I still have the last released version I can send it to anyone who needs it right now. PM me I guess.
And you have no lags, without pitching
@TheSkinman
In word "smooth" I mean teleportating of blocks every configurable time. It is smooth, because you may to walk on ship, place signs, fight use items and other. If ship teleporting every second, you can't do that.
I would like to know something? Will the ships move smoothly like a real ship, ot like in the SHIPS plug-in where they move like shish?
Wait
why is the download gone?
Im recording it today its a lot of content being shown so its finished today and lets see if i can upload before i got to go to work (nightshift) please be a bit patient, thanks. Edit: Had problems with the new isail.rar JIJI send me. finished the recording today and still at voiceover in english.
When is it ready?
@MoffKalast
Wait for tutorial
@MoffKalast
Same problem here.
@JlJlJl
Well I am testing it but I can get only as far as setting up a ship, making it move up and down and turn, but I am unable to deploy the sails. How exactly do you make a mast?
@ebe0025
Thanks)))
@MoffKalast
I love this game too, but in Russia it game calls corsairs 3 city of lost ships. You may download this plugin and test all features, but it have bug with triangle sail yet, so don't use it on public servers
thank author!! I love this plugin it is very good plugin
This is what says in the op: "I created this plugin, since there is currently no well-functioning plugins for ships. This plugin will realize sailing and sea battles."
So what makes you think that yours will be any better? The most well functioning plugin of this date if Boatmod which although is outdated stil performs better than movecraft/autocraft/ships.
Just explain a few things to me:
•Realistic movement of ships (HOW?!?!?) •Realistic turning (HOW?!?!?) •Ships take damage from accidents (Ok this one is easy) •Speed, acceleration, and turning depends on its size and sails (This one also easy) •Realistic takelage of ship (even google does not know what takelage is, please explain) •Pumps (This one requires water physics and I don't think this is even possible in SSP)
This is something you would say for a client mod like Archimedes' ships. This will only be possible if you convert blocks to entities, what I do not think is possible.
Some arguments perhaps?
P.S. I like how your avatar is Peter Blood from Age of Pirates 2. I loved that game :D
