The Thu'um
Implementing dragonshouts from Skyrim!
You just say the words in chat; you don't use commands.
Ignores caps and punctuation, but I recommend all caps and copious levels of exclamation points. Won't work if you say anything else in the same line. Supports the built-in bukkit permissions. So "FUS RO DAH!!!!!!" and "FuS! rO DAH!" work, but "FUS RO LA LALA!" and "I SHOUT FUS!" don't
Recommended/Complimentary plugins!
- SkyrimRPG implements other mechanics like magic, pickpocketing and blocking!
- HiddenCommandSigns can be used with your permissions plugin to create Word Walls for your players to learn shouts from!
Configuration
You can adjust cooldowns, shout colors, and shout visibility using the config.yml. You can find more details here.
Permission nodes
- thuum.ignorecooldown.shoutname.level - Let's a player spam that level of shout.
- thuum.shout.shoutname.level - Gives a player access to that level of shout (and only that level).
- Replace shoutname with the three words of the shout, no spaces.
- OK: fusrodah
- NOT OK: FuSRODAH
- NOT OK: unrelentingforce
Shouts
- Unrelenting Force (fus ro dah)
- The weak stuff. Items, mobs and players get kinda nudged, if they're close.
- Mobs and players are bodily picked up and thrown, and can be further away from our Dovahkiin. Peaks at about two blocks throwing height.
- Things in your way get hurled, and far. Some things that aren't necessarily in your way get thrown too!
- Fire Breath (yol toor shul)
- Shoots 4 fireballs in a circle.
- 9 fireballs in a circle.
- 17 fireballs! Bigger circle.
- Kyne's Peace (kaan drem ov) - Makes a mob non-aggressive for x seconds.
- 50 seconds. 20x6 cylinder,
- 70 seconds, 25x8 cylinder
- 90 seconds, 30x10 cylinder
- Clear Skies (lok vah koor) - Calms the weather temporarily.
- 10 seconds reprieve from the storm
- 20 seconds reprieve from the storm
- Storm ends.
- Whirlwind Sprint (wuldnahkest) - Hurls the dovahkiin in the general direction. Each additional word adds distance.
- Become Ethereal (feimziigron) - Makes you unable to take damage. Gives a cool glow. Is cancelled if you deal damage to something.
- Aura Whisper (laasyahnir) - Makes all living things around you glow (same glow as a spawner). More levels = longer glowing.
- Call of Valor (hunkaalzoor) - Summons a friendly mob for 60 seconds
- Summons a Snow Golem
- Summons a Wolf
- Summons an Iron Golem
- Marked For Death (kriilunaus) - Poisons mobs, makes them take more damage.
- Storm Call (strunbahqo) - Strikes randomly chosen nearby mobs with lightning, and causes a rain storm.
Custom Shouts
Custom shouts allow you to use The Thu'um system to create macros. They use all the same things, like permissions and settings like text colours and cooldowns.
customshouts: - name : I think, therefore, I am description: This description shows up in the /help command firstword : cogito secondword : ergo thirdword : sum firstcommands: - say Hello! - say This shout uses the thuum.shout.cogitoergosum.1 permission, and makes you say three things. secondcommands: - say Any player commands will work here. - spawn thirdcommands: - say Cogito Ergo Sum only executes these commands - say It doesn't execute the commands listed under secondcommands - say Similarly, Cogito Ergo only executes its two commands, and not the commands listed under firstcommands. - name : Filler text description: This description shows up in the /help command firstword : lorem secondword : ipsum thirdword : dolor firstcommands: - say These commands are executed as the player secondcommands: - say As such, they can only do what the player has permission to do thirdcommands: - say I might add the feature to do console commands later
On a side note: Is there any way to configure how powerful a certain level shout is? Like, instead of the default launch distance for a level 3 FUS RO DAH, You could make it ridiculously far? That would be AMAZING.
Holy Crap! This is amazing! One of the coolest things I've seen in awhile! Looking forward to more shouts (if possible)!
@boabethan
nevermind... I figured out the spacing I still can't get permissions to work...
Wait? I can't get both wuldnahkest or feimziigron to work? What am I doing wrong? Don't get me wrong, best plugin ever, but I would like them also. Thanks
The problem with permissions some people are having, I have it too. Using PermissionsEx. The only way to not let people use shouts is... to disable the whole plugin. It works well with plugman though, so turning off and on the thu'umme is just one command away. Still would be way cooler if I could just turn the prmissions on and off...
Is it possible to change yol toor shul from ghast fireballs, to just fire? (item 51)
Like having it ignite the ground in front of you, or maybe make fire float in front of you for a moment.
The ghast fireballs don't really work right in SMP, glitchy and hard to see move, and many servers, including mine, have them nerfed. Besides, they don't really fit the fire breath style of yol toor shul. It kinda looks stupid having a circle of fireballs, when it should just be flame/fire, and 17 fireballs is just ridiculous.
Maybe if you could get it to work with Fire instead, it the more words you use, the farther from you it ignites, or the wider area in front of you it covers.. Also the duration of how long things stay ignited.
Of course, once the 1.2 update comes out, Jeb has added projectile fire, which I think would work a LOT better. And it'd probably be a lot easier to make that work for Yol.
Anyway, thanks again for the best Dragon Shout plugin out there! =D
My friends and I really love this addon, but I can't seem to get the permission nodes to work since everyone can use them. I'm using Group Manager from Essentials.
Someone, please, tell me how to get it to work with HiddenCommandSigns :(
@T4LGoose
Heh, thanks! You also reminded me to add recommended plugin links and stuff.
This plugin owns so much. The SkyrimRPG plugin helps tie the knot as well. I'm just looking for a races plugin now, and my server will be blocky multiplayer skyrim!
Here's a video. Free advertising for the win. :D

Wow! Thanks for another cool update! My users are gonna love playing around with wuld nah kest. heh
IMO, This is still the best Dragon Shout plugin out there! ;)
I'm using PEX 1.17 and even with me being Owner - Permissions = * so I have everything, the only way I'm able to do it, is by OP'ing myself or anyone who wants to do it. :l Also using CB 1774 if that makes any difference. (Dev Build)
Any plans on when the next release is out? :D I cant wait :o
PLEASE keep on developing this with new add ons! All my server friends love it!
@NikoKun
I don't plan on letting it die; I've got some more of the other things ironed out (I fixed people logging in/out to refresh cooldowns), but I didn't want to release until I had a few more shouts to release too. For some reason, whirlwind sprint is giving me trouble, sometimes not flinging the player at all. =S
I love this plugin! PLEASE don't let it die.. It's got the BEST Fus Ro Dah effect of any of them out there. The other plugins so far haven't done it right.
@ xBladeM6x
Try editing your permissions file directly, rather than using the commands, as I use PEX and it work's absolutely fine for me.
Hey, this plugin is amazing. However I am using PermissionsEX and for some reason it doesn't seem to work. I'm the only one who can use it (I'm in my own group "Owner" who's granted ALL permissions so that's why) however I can't allow the rest of my members use it. I would very much appreciate it if you could add PermissionsEX support. Thank you very much.
(To be clear, I would write "pex group default add "thuum.shout.fusrodah.1" so I don't think I was doing anything wrong there.)
