MoxieSkills
MoxieSkills is a skills plugin like none you've ever seen before. Having had three previous recodes, the current version is as fast and efficient as you will ever see. Train yourself in a range of fifteen unique skills to beat your friends. With hiscores, good interfacing and challenging levelling, you'll never be bored.
What Does MoxieSkills Do?
- Competitive levelling formula
- Vast range of skills
- Skill leaderboards
- Skill and XP dynamics similar to that seen of online MMOs
- Multipliers for individual players and their skills
- MySQL Database support
- Each skills is highly configurable - each has it's own file!
This plugin uses an email API to automatically report errors. I do not receive passwords (this would break Bukkit rules). If you want to keep your email anonymous, use Yahoo! email, otherwise use GMail (only Yahoo! and GMail are supported). There is also an option to send your server IP to improve communications. This plugin also uses an auto-updater and MCStats.

Minecraft =/= Other MMO Games.
RPG plugins should, frankly, never limit the gameplay of Minecraft, only expand upon it. Limiting features that are already there are usually in bad taste, unless absolutely necessary.
The reason is because Minecraft is an open world, sandbox game that's meant to be full of possibilities. MMO games tend to be much more structured - they may be open world, but they're not a sandbox in the sense that you can change the landscape to your will.
Not to mention the fact that unless you meticulously structure your server extremely well, there can easily be power imbalances between newer and older players, both in terms of resources and combat (if you enable PvP).
@x3nec Hi, I love this plugin! great job with it! I was wondering if you can add something like where you need a required skill level to do an action.. like if i had level 1 mining, i can only mine stone until the next level checkpoint at lets say, 5. once at level 5 mining, you can mine coal. A system like that would be a great feature to this plugin since a lot of MMO games have that feature. Please think about it! :) -eric
@x3nec
If it's going to have a spell-system like Heroes, I think it would be really great because the skills that Heroes uses is reliant on one's class (which can be limiting), whereas I'm guessing the skills here will be reliant on one's stats (which encourages "well-roundedness"). I really look forward to this version. :D
As for ideas, I remember sending you a text document full of 'em from way back. I'm sure there are skills and abilities (and even status effects) in there that might be worth looking at.
Anyhow, are you considering doing anything with horses? Perhaps leveling horses separately, or applying horse-related boosts that are dependent on the rider?
@zerobillion
Please check your startup log for errors :)
everytime i use a command from this mod it does nothing, it just says the command like:
i type /mox and all it does is put /mox in the chat... nothing else

Bugs from the old MoxieSkills won't apply directly to the new one, but it'll sure help me to identify them. NPC based errors will likely recur, but I'm better equipped to fix them now that I'm more active again. I still intend to grow abilities into another plugin, preferably with some sort of Heroes style spell plugin that others can code for too :) I understand that depth is key for public plugins, so I'd like to have the community contributing ideas. Plugin never died! Just this recode took a long time for me - I had exams and ended up learning a lot of new Java technique for it. I hope the end result is much better! :D
So does this meen you are getting rid of the pesky console errors I have learned too live with? I will start submitting tickets and errors, I thought this plugin was dead and I'd have to live with them. I had to turn of archers so my 15 npc village gaurds didn't crash server with moxie errors from arrow shooting mobs. I will get you a sql file and errors, I am sorry I am a little slow, did I read in comments that abilities will not grow with moxie? I have 9 servers in hub and moxie is off in some so there is no advantage during games and such. I could test another version for giggles and grins on another server is my point, it would just run flat file.
Oh ps. Dude freaking awesome job taking on this project I am sure it can not be an easy one, but the players love it so much. I will pm and get give you direct email so I can send sql format file.
@antichip
Yes! It'd be much appreciated, then I can provide backward support :)
Are you still in need of sql database for conversion? I gould prolly export my moxi sql. let me know. I am on older 3.3, but I wont move to 1.6.2
Dont see to get exp for mining or woodcutting under any circumstances, even if I add to the script to apply exp if respective tools are used.

@Nishok
as told so often by x3nec v3.3 doesnt contain abilities he wanted to split it from the main plugin. Do you realy want the abilities than downgrade to 2.9
@x3nec cant you use the bukkitdev ticket tracker i want to make tickets of bugs that continue to occur (like the one after a pvp kill) or the one that says there isnt a /mox levels command. I like the new looks of Arion Edition but the bugsies didnt really get fixed
@MarnixxTS
I am having the same issue, I do not see any abilities.yml, thus creating signs don't do anything

Yes I am OP and I have all permissions from this page: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/moxieskills/pages/permissions/
Hello x3nec, i'm running MoxieSkills v3.3 but the abilities.yml doesn't exist? Please help me!
And MoxieNPC doesnt works, i dont know why.
@x3nec
Yea I know, but can you make it differently?
For example using the Boss bar at the top as the exp bar for what you got?
Like if I fell, it will show an Agility bar up on the top.
@DerekZil
The player has the option to disable exp messages, /mox help has the details :)
I'm planning to translate this plugin (v3.3) to Dutch.
Can you only broadcast level in a radis?
Edit: I noticed the exp spams chat, can you make a different method?
Nice. The new array of skills you have there make more sense; they're more intuitive to the gameplay of Minecraft.
I'm wondering - for the more craft/smelt-based skills - if you could somehow hook into RecipeManager. RecipeManager lets you change, remove, add, and do anything with recipes. I can see a lot of potential with those skills if you had some sort of hook into RecipeManager.
@x3nec when i go on host today i will upload a ticket containing a full set of yaml files from the 2.9 version!
@x3nec
Fantastic!
