Inactive [ECON/RPG/FUN] TreasureHunt 0.8.2 - Randomly-placed treasure goodness! [1.2.4-R1.0]

Unfortunately, the chest generation can be taxing on weaker servers. It also could be caused by having too tight of requirements for the chest location (like light levels, distance, etc). What it does is basically picks a random location within the distance you specify, and then checks if that location meets the requirements. If it doesn't, it picks another spot and checks, repeat repeat repeat until it finds a spot.

I plan to add a MaxChestGenRuns option for you to specify how many times it can attempt to find a spot before it gives up, thus saving your server from that lag. If you have a weaker server, you could set it to like 100 or something and you probably wouldn't notice any lag. I've had chest generation runs in the thousands of attempts on my server and it only lags a second or two even at that amount. So adding that option will be the best I can do in that regard. Or maybe I can find a way to have it space out its attempts over time.

It's probably a permission issue. If you have a permissions plugin installed and the th.hunt permission isn't set to your players, they won't be able to use it. If you're not using a perms plugin or Vault at all, it will default to allowing people to use the command. So I think it's probably a perms issue.

When a chest is generated the plugin picks a total value for the chest, between 0-5000, and may also draw a few more times if you have the DrawWeight set above 1. It will take the lowest value of the randomly picked numbers, and use that as the base value for the chest. The values in the config file for each item represent how much of that total value each item of that type takes up. The chest will populate with items until it hits or exceeds slightly the total value. So if you want less items in chests, set their values higher.

Soon, you'll be able to set different sets of items to appear in each level of chest. Also, I'm adding multiworld support soon as well.

Keep watching the bukkitdev section for this plugin. I may have it updated tomorrow. (Sorry, I've been working 50 hour weeks lately plus running my own server and programming for it, so I have neglected this plugin slightly, and I apologize for that). I have a r3 build working on my server which fixes some of the bugs in the ticket section, but I need to add those features I just mentioned in the previous paragraph before I release it. It won't take long. I'm getting pretty decent at this.

As for the efficiency of the plugin...I'll probably go through and rewrite sections of it soon as well. This plugin was initially created when I was at more of a 3 or 4/10 level on minecraft plugin coding, and I'd say I'm up to about a 7 or 8/10 now.

How can I resolve this problem? I don't have an economy installed, if that's whats being problematic. The code below is what I have been getting when I try to start the server.

Code:

I tried setting the money multipliers (money in the config.yml) to 0, and that didn't help.

I assume you don't have Vault installed either then right?

I'll look into the code and make sure it's properly handling the case when Vault isn't around.

Couple of suggestions:

1) The /starthunt command should start a hunt immediately without requiring any additional parameters. There could be a 'default setting' set up in the config to make this work nice. It's a nice easy and quick way for an admin to start a hunt without having to think. (I have so many plug-in's on my server, it's a real chore to remember commands. Heck, I couldn't even remember /hunt ... I had to lookup the plug-in to remember how to access the help).

2) IF a hunt is already started, does a player get notified of this if they log in to the server after the fact? I haven't tried this, but, if this isn't the case, then I would like to suggest that when a player logs in to the server and there is already a hunt underway, that the play is notified of the hunt.

Still testing the plug-in. I like the concept. Keep up the great work.

Fairly sure you can already /starthunt without parameters. If not, I can add it with the next version.

Version 0.8 released! See BukkitDev for the download.

The file will be available as soon as it is approved, or you can click the download link in the description for the project as well to download it from MediaFire. It is made for version 1.1-R4. See BukkitDev for all other information Thanks for your interest in my plugin, people.

Idek how to make a hunt! Plz tell me, someone!

Is there a way for permissions I can use a two-word world name? The world is called "Stack-n-Craft World" So how would i write that in permissions?

That's a good question. I'm pretty sure world names like that are impossible, so you must be talking about a MultiVerse alias. Currently the plugin doesn't handle those, so it should instead have the folder name of your world (usually 'world'). In the case of multiple worlds, it's always the folder name of the world.

Version 0.8.1 released!
See bukkitdev thread for details and downloads

Actually, I just noticed that now. Apparently our host allows two-word worlds. But Apparently just "Stack-n-Craft World" in quotations works fine for treasurehunt. Its not a multiverse world either, its the main world. I didnt mean to name the world in two words, but I just didnt think before I did it lol... It makes using alot of plugins complicated.

Just rename it then?

hi,

i configured all /hunt parameters good but when i try to /starthunt 4000 an internal error appears,


Any idea?

Can you post the error (with line number) that you get in console?

New version 0.8.2 released! See bukkitdev for details

MMMMMMMMMMMM, I must look in to this

>

i installed now the new version, but the error persist. When y make /starthunt, this error appears in console:

CONSOLE: Placed stronghold in INVALID biome at (52, -23)
TreasureHunt: Location selection took 136 runs.
TreasureHunt: Location selection took 53 runs.
and "internar error ocured" appears in game
any idea? i want this plugin

How do I force the chests to fade away? Instead of waiting out the time for it to fade?

pelase, can confirm if this plugins needs vault to run?

Is there a way to make it start in a specific area? My server [players] would enjoy this, and we have a big Arena to play events in. However, I don't want chests spawning out of the Arena. So is there a function that allows you to start the hunt in a specific area, or is it not possible?

I would just mention to fix alot of these problems, you could add like a world edit/worldguard type of optional dependency so u could select the area u want chests 2 spawn in, with in a very specific manor.

Love this plugin. Been using it since it first came out (almost atleast).

I do have some ideas/requests thought. I've asked about the possibiliy to add the location of the treasure to the dynmap before and that is something I'm still interested in seeing happen.

I do however have some more ideas about dynmap+treasurehunt=true.
Fiorst. To be able to disable using rotten meat (or anything else for that matter) and /hunt to find the treasure. To be able to get the treasure market on dynmap instead. would also like to be able to config how exact the marking on dynmap should be. Letys say a mark means its right under it or that it could be in a cirkle of X blocks from the marking. (nothing of this should affect the random dept it arrives at.)

I would also love if this idea got even more expanded so that every time someone finds a treasure there is a new mark on the map (a permanent mark until removed by admin) with the info on Who found the treasure and the date/time of the find and if the treasure was a normal, epic etc.).

Just ideas but I like my ideas. No prob if you don't thought

When I start my server, TreasurHunt says I don't have Vault installed, but I have Vault. And also when I type in /starthunt command, it gives a warning message saying [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

Here is the complete message:

Please help.

Thanks,

Well, You have vault and you have Treasurehunt but you don't seem to have any economic plugin.

You can change the radius in which the chests are spawning in the config and from what X/Y location the radius should start from.

Code:

WorldOptions:
  world:
    HuntTool: ROTTEN_FLESH
    MarkerBlock: GLOWSTONE
    ChestChance: 100
    ChestInterval: 60
    ChestDuration: 60
    MaxDistance: 2000       < - - - Radius
    MinDistance: 0
    CenterX: 0        <- - - X Coords
    CenterZ: 0        < - - - Y Coords

OK. Thanks. I will go find an economic plugin. But what about warning message?

Install an economic plugin first an see if that removes the warning. Could be it. Othervise we'll just take another look at it.

Thanks. The warning is gone after I installed an economic plugin. Another question, after someone claimed the chest, how can I destroy the chest or will it just go away by itself?

I'm not really sure. Never removed a chest.

But if you're op or admin, just try breaking it.
