Change Log

- 0.4 Localization

Created localization file for english, locale_enUS.yml
Fixed a bunch of typos and grammar errors
Fixed bug in player enemy adding
Fixed bug causing NPE in explosions and Fire detection
Fixed bug in player skull counts caused by above NPE explosion bug
Crazed and Devious skulls will no longer target pets or mobs on leashes / with custom names.
Updated Entity List for Rabbit, Guardian and Endermite
Allow all wood type fences to be used for crazed and devious skulls. Spruce, Dark Oak, etc.

- 0.323 Factions 2.7 update

Updated for compatibility with Factions 2.7.5

- 0.322 Spigot 1.8 fixes

Changed Wizard skulls so they no longer use EnderPearls as their projectile. Spigot does not allow spawning EP's without Living Entity Reference and throws NPE because of that.
Wizard skulls now use snowball as their projectile. Hopefully those wont change like EnderPearls did.
Changed Skull placement detection to use Deprecated Data byte value because Spigot has no way to detect Wall placed skulls. Maybe this will be fixed in sponge?

- 0.321 Bug fix

fixed bug in custom entities that could cause Stack overflow if entity name and custom name were the same (console spam and would fail updating enemy target lists)
fixed bug in removing a custom name from skull friend lists (would display error instead of remove)
fixed bug in info message after removing friend from global skulls (would not display message at all)

- 0.32 UUID, Features and bug fixes

UUID:
- Modified UUID online check to allow plugin to check online but only after checking the server first. Saves on time if Player was already known by the server. No online check needed in this case.
- Fixed Disguisecraft support for players disguised as skull owners to use UUID.
- Fixed Vanish support so it uses UUID
- Fixed Factions support to use UUID
- Fixed Towny support to use UUID
- Added config option profile_url
  - Allows for the changing of the profile url for UUID. In case at some time it changes, its not hardcoded
- PerPlayerSettings and Skull database are updated automatically
- Old skullbooks are now invalid because of the UUID change and must be recreated from their respective skulls
- Added config option online_uuid_check: true
  - true allows server to check online for player UUID, false only asks the Bukkit server for UUID
  - Could be Useful for offline servers
- Skin updates for skulls are off the main thread now
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed offline bug in Towny.
- Fixed bug in Towny friends detection. If a resident is a friend of a player who owns skulls those skulls will ignore that friend.
- Fixed another bug in factions for offline players. Seems UPlayer.getFaction() returns Wilderness if UPlayer is offline.
- Fixed bug in offline player detection when using offline_players_skulls_offline config option
- Fixed bug causing offline mode to not work correctly. Skulls would not target players.
- Fixed bug in factions detection, faction owned by a player who was offline would break skull targeting
- Fixed bug in setting skull skins if the username entered did not exist. Would cause unhandled exception and break setting skull turret skins until plugin restart
  - Updated error messages to reflect not being able to set skin to non-existant users
- /sk rotate command now will update the skulls internal facing direction so that if a skull is allowed to patrol again it will start at the rotated direction not where it last ended a patrol cycle
- Fixed bug in Skull's fire/miss intelligence causing all skulls to believe they missed the target if one skull missed the same target. Groups of Skulls targeting the same mob should be much more willing to shoot now
- Wizard skulls will now pick a new target or wait 5 seconds if they miss a shot like master turrets do
- Fix bug causing players who are op and have Per player settings. Will nolonger have their setting erased because Op meant they were in all groups available. Per Player Settings in this case will override Groups if the player is an Op
- Fixed a test for skull placement. It is no longer possable to place a Crazed, devious, master or wizard against a fence instead of on top. Would result in a Wall skull instead of a Ground skull.
- Fixed bug in player Skull count if skulls destructed or were removed in some other way that was not a block break event
- If a player exceeds their max placed turret amount and are in creative the placed skull will no longer drop
- Multi-Skull crafting now updates the inventory correctly and wont leave ghost items in the crafting matrix
- Fixed bug in Mob checks for adding mobs to wizard / master skulls
- Fixed a bug in add/rem friend/enemy commands that didnt allow "PLAYER" as a mob type. This was also fixed for global commands. The bug caused an error message about invalid mobs
- Fixed bug with skulls targeting players
- Fixed bug in Per Player Settings resulting in firing range not being update with maxRange changes
- Fixed bug with Player groups resulting in players who where offline and somehow had maxrange/skullamount added to a per player setting overriding the group config. This could confuse the skullturret init
Towny Changes:
- Nomads can no longer place skulls in towns
- towny Players who are not a member of any town are valid targets for skulls
- Towny Embassies are now considered when skulls are picking targets. If a player is not a member of any town and owns an Embassy plot in a town. The skull will ignore that player. Embassy plot ownership is ignored if the plot owner is a member of another town.
- Added Towny config options
  - nomads_can_place_skulls: true - allows nomads to place skulls in wilderness
  - nationless_towns_can_place_skulls: true - allows nationless town residents to place skulls
  - skulls_respect_pvp_rule: false - towns without nations will respect pvp rules and skulls will attack based on pvp
  - skulls_ignore_embassy_owners: true - if a nomad owns a embassy plot then skulls will ignore that nomad
  - town_skulls_ignore_nomads: false - if true town skulls will ignore nomads
  - skulls_in_wilderness_target_everyone: true - if true any skull placed in the wilderness will target any player reguardless of nation or town
  - allow_towny_skulls_destruct: true - if false skulls will go offline instead of self destruct / skulls can still self destruct if skulls area allowed to be damaged by players
Factions Changes:
- Updated to Factions 2.5, Imports changed, 2.4 and below are nolonger supported. I see no way to support both at the same time like I could with 1.8 and 2.0. Sorry.
- Removed faction 1.8 support, UUID changes prevents this from working now.
- Added config options to factions support
  - target_neutral: false
  - target_truce: false
  - target_enemy: true
  - target_ally: false
  - target_peaceful: false
  - target_unaffiliated: true
  - allow_placement_enemy_territory: false
  - allow_placement_neutral_territory: false
  - allow_placement_truce_territory: false
  - allow_placement_own_territory: true
  - allow_placement_ally_territory: true
  - allow_placement_peaceful_territory: true
  - allow_placement_wilderness: true
    - Above Values are pretty self explanatory, target config options allows a skull to target that player type, placement config options allow skulls to be placed in that territory type
  - use_faction_power_to_limit_player_skulls: false
    - Will allow skull placement limits based on the amount of power a faction has
  - faction_power_per_skull: 1.0
    - Sets the faction power required per skull.
    - Example: Faction Alpha has 10 power, if each skull costs 1 point a piece then the faction can have 10 skulls per player. If there are 3 members then each member can have 10 skulls for a total of 30 skulls for that faction
    - This was done this way so that no one faction member can hog all the skulls available to the faction.
    - Default power cost is not balanced in any way and should be set before use
    - Value should not be a negative number or zero
    - If a faction looses power and the faction players have too many skulls active, then those players in the faction with too many skulls will have some of their skulls go offline until the faction has enough power to support the skulls those players own.
    - If faction power is used to limit players then the config option skulls_per_player sets the absolute max a player can have. Example, if a factions power allows players to have 10 skulls each but skulls_per_player is set to 5 then a factions members can have no more then 5 skulls active. This keeps powerful factions from having ridiculous amounts of turrets.
    - Per player groups and Per Player settings will override factions skull limits
  - allow_faction_skulls_destruct: true - if false skulls will go offline instead of self destruct / skulls can still self destruct if skulls are allowed to be damaged by players

Factions 1.8, Factions 2.0 AND Towny have now been thoroughly tested for the offline bug. Offline is working now. Chalk this up to Factions 2.0 returning Wilderness as the faction for Offline Faction members. Smells like a factions bug to me.

Crazed and Devious skulls no longer target Golems
Fixed bug in player detection if players were offline. This should fix issues with factions, towny and config option offline_players_skulls_offline option

  - If setting defaults for master skulls user /skull default and click the master skull with a master skull item
  - If you wish to reset default for a skull type use /skull default reset and click a skull like above
  - Alternativly you can use w or m as a argument for resetting wizard and master skull defaults
  - IE. /skull default reset w - would reset your wizard skull defaults
- Added permission node skullturret.default
  - Used to allow players to save skull default settings

- Each group in the yml file is used to set a permission
- EX:

Groups:
  members:

In this case a player with the permission skullturret.members would be in the group members and all the settings for that group would apply to them overridding any per player settings they have

  - self destruct. Unclaiming will restore the skull but skullturret will have lost track of the skull.
  - With wizard skulls this would mean a player could retrieve free witherskulls
