- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online

Hey, btw, not sure I told you, but your numeric-Mana display idea is in the latest version (as an option- the bar is still the default). Thanks for the suggestion!
... poring back over comment history looking for some stuff I missed :P
Anybody know how to search devbukkit comments?
Lots of people had asked for that Factions integration, I would love to ping them all.
There's also a great list of shop plugins I really wanted to check out for potential integration, buried in here somewhere.
If not, well- open tickets! :)
@UrNowKoed
@lathame
Version 2.9.5 will have Factions integration, with the option to respect Factions build permissions. Factions does not affect PVP-blocked spells, though (I'm not sure it should? Maybe a safe zone check?)
@Silversbane
Oh good, thanks!
The thing about the wand sounds weird, too - wands and spells are not actually very related like that. But I'll check it out!
@NathanWolf
So what I did was copy the entire spell from defaults and added the cost along with all the properties. This seems to work. I will try what you said and just add the cost again and see if maybe last time I did something wrong. What I did notice is if I use a wand that was created prior to the change it will not work anymore. So I have to recreate a new wand. Once I finish testing/editing I will send you my configuration which I use on a server I consider playing on impossible difficulty :).
@Silversbane
Hrm :/ well to be honest , I haven't tested that in a while! I will be travelling today, but will test (and fix if necessary) as soon as I can.
You should not have to copy everything over, just the spell key and costs nodes should be enough. Everything else will carry over from the defaults.
@NathanWolf
I just tried this and put my customizations in spells.yml and it made all my spells stop working. What I did at first was just attempted to add ROTTEN_FLESH:5 to the costs of fireball. It showed up on the wand that I need 5 rotten flesh but when I casted the wand nothing happened. So then I added every spell from spell.default.yml to spells.yml with all their properties and customized fireball again to have a cost of 5 rotten flesh. But then none of the spells on the wands worked. :(
@Silversbane
I do not (perhaps someone else does). I do plan on adding a variety of configuration options, including reagent-based spells, for 3.0, but it's pretty low on the priority list.
If anyone does have this, I'd also be interested in having it to include with the plugin!
Unfortunately, with over 100 spells, it's going to be a bit of task. (The reagents would go on spells, not on wands!). It's also going to be the kind of thing you may want to tweak yourself- I mean I can pick some stuff, but you may not like what I pick, you know?
Anyway, this should be pretty easy to set up- in the "costs" list for each spell, just put a material name instead, where it says "xp". The costs are a list, so you can have more than one type of reagent required for a spell.
I also need to provide reference for the material names- they come from this Bukkit enum:
https://raw.github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/master/src/main/java/org/bukkit/Material.java
Does anyone have a saved configuration file to change all default wants to use reagents? Thank you
@UrNowKoed
You know, I thought of something- for fireball, icbm and wither, I think you could effectively accomplish what you want to do (I still don't have a solution for tnt, though)
Something like this:
Basically turn off the explosion damage, and apply direct entity damage to an area of effect around where the projectile hits (like the Neutron Bomb spell does)
The reason it has both harm and heal is that harm will heal the undead- having both seems to work ok though and damages all mob types.
I haven't had a chance to test this, but it ought to work.
Hey, I finished my server! It's mostly based around ranking up to get new spells. The IP is: play.distinctcraft.com . You could come check it out sometime if you want. Could I get it added to the servers using magic list?
@diannetea
Hrm... I'm testing this myself, and there are a few bugs. I'll fix them up and let you know. Once working, I think you'll want to do this in spells.yml:
And in materials.yml do
That is assuming you're only using spells in this arena. I was just thinking your spectators may get killed if someone has the shrink spell, or some other direct damage spell that could target through the glass, so disabling that for all spells is probably a good idea.
However, with all of that turned off I can still ascend/descend through the glass. Trying to figure out why that part isn't working, I'll have a patch for it soon.
UPDATE: This is fixed for 2.9.4, and in the current dev build. There were a couple problems with ascending and some complexities with the ledge detection that could let you squeeze through a corner. I've tested with a stained glass box, and I'm unable to get in (or out) of it with the settings I provided above.
@NathanWolf
Neither of those fixes worked, for now I have it limited to 10 blocks because you can't reach it with that range, but it's a bigger nerf than I wanted.
Of course you can come play, my server is a little confusing at first though. To get out of my spawn you have to read the rules on my website. The arena costs 10 emeralds to play and you have to have an empty inventory.. uh, basically run through the random teleporter, make a chest and a sign, place the chest put a sign above it with [vault] on the top line and stick your emeralds and stuff in it, then you can /ma j
@ghosttractor
Most unhelpful bug report evar?? XD
@NathanWolf
i found a bug!!!
@NathanWolf
I understand, I see a lot of plugin devs talk about how difficult it is to work with factions.
Alright, sounds good, thank you again!
@UrNowKoed
There is currently no Factions support. It's been on my TODO list for a while, but frankly their API is obscure and (from what I can tell on the forums) broken. I'm hoping to have it by 3.0.
There is no way (in Bukkit) to disable block damage from a tnt or fireball explosion. (Unless you disable damage completely, but then it's kind of pointless). I may try and do something "clever" like force my own explosion when the tnt detonates, but this is tricky and honestly not a high priority for me.
You'll want to disable "frag", "grenade", "fireball" and "icbm" if you want to be totally safe.
The "boom" spell is safe by default (break_blocks: false), and you can configure "kaboom" to not break blocks the same way that boom does, just add this to spells.yml:
EDIT: I forgot about "nuke", you'll want to give it the same treatment as kaboom :)
@NathanWolf
Ah okay I got it. I'm running the latest version. Thanks!
Also, is disabling explosion block damage a feature you're planning on adding? I want people to be able to use regular player-crafted TNT for raiding, but I don't want them using the "free" TNT from spells for raiding; just for player damage. I suppose I could disable the explosion-based spells, but I think they're really cool.
Also, is claimed land from the Factions plugin included in the worldguard region manager setting? Or does that only apply to worldguarded regions?
EDIT: Oh and one more thing, if someone kills another player, are they able to pick up/use the wand of the person that they killed? I would test it myself, but no-one is online to test it with me right now haha. (Sorry for all the questions!)
@UrNowKoed
What version are you running?
That config format is out of date. If you are running post-2.9.0, you'll have to update. Basically just get rid of the "general:" root node and make config.yml flat. See defaults/config.defaults.yml for the right structure.
Up until 3.0, you really have to pay attention to the notes in builds when you upgrade- I'm hoping the config format is pretty settled down now, though. 2.9.0 was a big change for custom configs.
As always, the full migration notes can be found here:
https://raw.github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/master/MIGRATION.md
EDIT: and thank you for the compliment! :)
@ghosttractor
Wands don't work in creative mode. Like, at all. Recent versions won't even let you pick up a wand while in creative mode.
