Riffic's Heroes Skills
If your needing another set of fresh heroes skills, look no more. Below is a list of skills I've developed for servers to use. Basic descriptions are attached, but I highly recommend checking the wiki if you plan on implementing the skill into your existing set. If you need help with installing skills or in general use of the Heroes plugin checkout the [Heroes Page](http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/heroes/|Heroes Plugin page) (They are also at spout ) and see what they have to offer. Many of the following skills can be configured to scale with level, but if you prefer a flat damage that is also possible.
**Suggestions / Improvements **
If you wish to post an improvement or suggestion please visit the pages below and post on the thread/issue I have. BEFORE posting make sure I haven't already listed it as a work in progress and if it's an improvement, that it is not listed on the wiki under future ideas.
Wiki for detailed options and descriptions
Compatible Version: 1.4.9
Skills
** Damaging / Harmful **
Affliction: Periodic damage effect that jumps to nearby enemies a set amount of times. Damage scales with level.
Cleave: Attack multiple targets in front of the user (sword/axe based).
Dark Tether: Puts a damage over time effect on the target which deals damage based on distance. Damage Scales with level and distance can be set to how close mode instead of how far away.
Empower: The next physical attack will deal damage plus a percentage of the targets max health.
Ground Pound: Send surrounding enemies into the air, dealing damage.
Land Mine: Place a tnt mine at the users feet. Armed after set time.
Utility
Blizzard: Rapid fire snowballs. No damage is dealt. \ (Note: If you do want damage Heroes has built in config support for this using projectile damage in the skill config thanks @HavenofKairos) \ Entomb: Encapsulate the target player in glass. Optional damage over time. \ Fear: Forces the target to flee for a set time. \ Ice Block: Encapsulate the target player in ice. Optional damage over time. \ Life Tap: Converts health to mana. \ Frost Path: Walk on water by turning it to ice. \ Meditate: Heals the user overtime. Options for combat cancel and move cancel. \ Pass Through: Pass through a wall on use. \ Rocket Jump: Boost in the air one or more times. \ Shield Wall: Creates a temporary wall at targeted location. Configurable block type. \
So I'm sorry to point out, but hardly any of your skills work anymore.
It's also a warning to others, until this is updated, I would not suggest adding these skills.
@Server5000
I don't test against any other plugins except the Heroes plugin. If Heroes works with factions I would assume it would.
Is this compatible with factions?
@Perfk
Unfortunately you can't as this is set in the code. If you really want to you can change the code yourself, but unless you have basic knowledge of how to compile the skills I wouldn't suggest it, plus every time I update you might also have to.
Hi Riffic33,
is there a way to rename a skill?
would love to use your skills, but some renameing would be nice :)
cause i seem to cant do anything with hero configs with out messing up
@AntiVenomHD
Going to have to read up on the heroes page or ask them there.
riffic can you help me with the hero skill classess. im having hard time editing them without messing up
@LordKainzo
Thanks Kainzo
Also as an update. I won't be able to get the skills posted today, but I'm still working on them to be compatable with the Heroes build.
Edit: Depending on where your at I got it done "today". On a side note Iceblock / Entomb now work on mobs thanks to IDragonFire's work. Skills also have Cooldown, mana use, health cost, stamina cost, delay, and /or experience cost in the descriptions if they have them in their respective config. Naming conventions were kept the same as Multitalented's skills for those that have his skills as well.
I'll clear this up. Heroes is currently supported by Bukkit - Spoutserver is not complete. We are prepping for the move to SpoutServer - more than likely we will support BOTH for as long as we can.
Heroes (latest) should function fine for Bukkit.
Herocraft is currently on Spigot and is using latest dev of Heroes.
@aphilosopher
Thanks for the updates there aphilosopher. I haven't stopped; I'm merely contemplating how to continue. I'm not wanting to confuse anyone who downloads the bukkit version of Heroes, but if it doesn't move forward I see your point. With a little help now, I'm looking to keep these updated as best as possible.
Stay tuned for updates. Not sure how quick, but if it's not by tomorrow it will be later this week.
@HavenofKairos Thanks for pointing that out. I've actually never thought about built in Heroes support for making Blizzard do damage. I'll update the main page with info on doing this.
Looking forward to an update. These skills are amazing; thanks Riffic.
@riffic33
i dont understand, i didnt think spout was server wrapper, just a combo plugin-client mod for extra features,
as i had understood it spout NEEDS bukkit,
sure the heroes dev is no longer posting his updates to the bukkit forums, and he now only posts his updates to the spout forums here http://forums.spout.org/threads/rpg-heroes-1-4-9-cb1-3-1-r1-0.4601/
but what does that matter? all it has done is changed the link used to download heroes,
im running most recent dev of heroes and bukkit and i do NOT run spout, have had no issues,
so why is it this pack of skills cant be updated? the code change is still only reflective of changes done to bukkit, heroes still is not dependant on spout, so wth?
As it stands Heroes has moved over to Spout and doesn't seem to be continuing Heroes here on Bukkit. I may continue to update my code for Spout, but I don't want to confuse users by uploading new content that won't work with the bukkit version. For those following Github I'll likely have a second branch for Spout IF I do go that route.
Any update soon?
Ohh, thanks dude, wasn't thinking :P
@ms0244412
Set snowballs to do damage yourself, it easy...under projectiles.
Got a suggestion, can you make blizzard do something, it doesn't really do much, it pushes mobs back, but my server is mostly PvP, do you think you can make it do some damage?
Thank you so much! :P
I've updated them to 1.4.8. The upload is only pending approval now.
