    Spells / Wand / Magic!



    Magic is a Work-In-Progress system, the end goal of which is to bring an RPG-like experience, focused on magic spells, items and abilities, to Minecraft.

    Downloads
    Magic.jar on MediaFire

    Source Code / Contributor Group (want to join?)
    elBukkit on github

    Currently Implemented:

    Magic is a configurable system, set up to let admins create their own experience on their servers. It will create a default configuration (spells.yml) with a variety of spells- but you are free to edit, add, remove spells at will.

    Take a look at the spells.yml file that Magic generates at first run. Documentation coming soon!

    Spells
    • cooldown - spells can only be cast so often
    • range - How far a spell can target
    • target_through - What a spell can target through (e.g. glass, water)
    • name, description, wand icon, etc - All editable in spells.yml
    Magic is currently more appropriate for a creative-type server than a serious RPG server, however you can use the Permissions plugin to lock down spell and wand use. I would like to tie into (or create) a leveling system eventually, but for now you can create classes and such using Permissions and various other plugins.


    Planned:
    Most of Magic's systems are not yet functional. Before I can call this ready-for-RPG, I will want to have working:

    Spells
    • Reagents - spells consume items when cast
    • MP - A system to use a pool of "magic points" to cast spells.
    • Automatic regenerative MP, other ways to gain MP (temples, actions, etc)
    • Health-for-MP, Eragon-style life-force casting
    • Permissions-driven per-player statistics, so players can have different casting costs / MP pool sizes, et
    Wand

    • Data-driven wands, using different items (or no item, for "abilities")
    • Dynamic wand action system, for alt-fire and context-sensitive actions
    • Better spell inventory system- I have a few ideas, I'll be playing around with this eventually
    Plugin devs: do you want to help? PM me! All of my code is community-sourced on github, you can contribute hassle-free, if you want to.


    Permissions

    By default, all players have access to the wand and all spells. If you use the Permissions plugin, you can set up individual permissions using the following pNodes:

Magic.commands.wand : Player can use /wand
Magic.commands.cast : Player can use /cast
Magic.cast.<spellname> : Player can cast a specific spell

    I'm glad to hear it still works, I loved having the lack of clutter. I really need 5-6 bars, not 1... once things can be done like hold shift to open a spell bar or hold alt to open a spell bar the new style will by and far be so superior to the old one that it's unbelievable (easily tell the spell and such and visually switch, etc) but right now losing the extremely limited space in my hotbar kills me where i could have i had several saved wands before and just switched between them with one stick.

    ... besides, its more fun to watch your players scatter every time you pull out a stick because for some reason they're paranoid about what your stick can do... "I challenge the laws of nature and reason by summoning the powers of destruction..." [IMG]

    Heh- I'm glad you can bring terror with your stick wherever you walk ;)

    I hear your concerns- honestly, when I've got my want, I don't use anything else...

    I like the idea of holding shift, but I think I'm already reserving that for alt-fire. I'm hoping I can make it work such that simply switching to and from your wand takes you in and out of your spell inventory- that's the plan, anyway. We'll see how it actually feels in practice, once I get there.

    I think that's the idea with Fill! ;) It's on it's way....

    What is this MoveCraft of which you speak? To the search bar!

    Bad Tankfox! Bad! We may not see him for weeks now! hehe... it's pretty slick, it basically lets you move pretty much anything you care to move as a vehicle rather than being limited to the boats. It's still missing some features presently but, its really handy for even things like construction of flying islands and such... and users seem to like it a whole lot (battlecruisers, airships, and spaceships oh my.)

    I think switching to and from the spell inventory would be fine, it's just the way it was last I tested it was pretty hard for me personally (I'll admit it... I'm anal... my inv bar is ALWAYS pick, axe, shovel, hoe, sword, bow, water, food... and usually my entire inventory is full of blocks in 64 stacks) but you're kinda limited by the present hooks (well and hooks bukkit/mc has in general) available. I think the thing I miss most wandmin vs wand is the ability to put arbitrary commands on it and/or (well last time I tried the new wand) the requirement for material components being carried since I'm generally full up on other stuff.

    I'll have to tinker with it on my dev instance again with spells and see whats been changed, its been a while.

    Just a warning from the latest craftbukkit..

    2011-02-20 12:25:07 [WARNING] Using the stupidly long constructor com.elmakers.mine.bukkit.plugins.wand.WandPlugin(PluginLoader, Server, PluginDescriptionFile, File, File, ClassLoader) is no longer recommended. Go nag the plugin author of Wand to remove it! (Nothing is broken, we just like to keep code clean.)

    Fixed :) Check the OP- I've already updated to cover the latest build ;)

    You should not still be getting that message with the latest Wand.jar- also, I went lazy on backwards compatibility so the current Wand.jar also required CB#357 or higher (don't go too much higher right at the moment, though... [IMG])

    NathanWolf

    361 is higher than 357, so you should be fine ;)

    I only mentioned the "too much higher" because I believe there were problems with the very latest build. That may have been resolved, it was only really an issues whenever I posted that- it seemed transient, so I was being coy.

    Seems like the latest build broke the material cycling - right clicking only cycles through building materials, as if you were holding shift.

    Yay, forums are back! I'll come in soon and check in on everything, but have a lot OP's to update .. please update ALL my jars for 1.3 support (with CB431)!
    --- merged: Feb 23, 2011 6:22 PM ---
    Yep :( Now that I'm finally up and running again, I was able to test! I had to get a different Maven repo link to even be able to build while bukkit's DNS server was down :(

    Anyway, 0.64 "fixes" this- by turning the new material cycling system off. I did some debugging- Player.isSneaking now points to what looks like the isAlive function... if the Bukkit team doesn't get it fixed up in the next couple days I'll dig more, but right now I think I'd just be getting in the way :)

    Ok, so we are using a race related server, with different abilities per race. The wizards get spells and wand, they can only use like, 4 spells, how do we control what abilities they can cast with wand? so they dont have to use commands

    NathanWolf

    You don't, really- you control which spells they can use, with permissions via Spells (except that seems to be broken at the moment, according to reports).

    Wand is just a way to cast spells- it doesn't let you do anything you don't already have the right to do, if that makes sense. The only real permissions for Wand are "can you use a wand?"

    Eventually, it will be more like "which wands can you use?", once a "Wand" has been abstracted to mean any collection of spells attached to an arbitrary object.

    This is probably more in line with what you'll want to be able to flesh out the non-wizard classes/races- if you want your warrior guys to be able to use a golden axe for combat spells, that kind of thing.

    I'm hoping to get to this system soon, but it can't happen until after the Spells refactor.

    Hope that answers your questions! Thanks.

    Sorry? What versions of Spells, Persistence, and Wand do you see in your log? What version of CB are you running?

    I've got all my plugins up on CB440 without issue- let me know the specifics and maybe I can help.

    NathanWolf

    If you've got a material in your active inventory, spells will use whatever is in the right-most slot, including air.

    I need to lay this out better in the OP somehow, it's been biting a lot of people...

    +1 [hero] points to @fuzzyhunter0608 for pointing this out!

    @Afforess has basically done exactly what I wanted to do for the Wand inventory- and taken it a step further- I don't have a mouse wheel, so that's probably why I never think to use it :p

    But using that to scroll through inventory pages on shift is brilliant!

    Speaking of... wonder if this is broke now? Did they fix isSneaking?

    NathanWolf

    Hm- well, let me try it out when I get a chance (it may be broken), but offhand my guess is it's that targeting/block break bug going on.

    If you try pointing straight up to the sky and casting it, and it works (on your last creation)- then you may have an annoying post-1.3 bug, and you'd have to logout and back in to fix it....

    Otherwise, transmute is now supposed to be targeted- so you aim at something you want to transmute (that you constructed with magic)

    Alternately, check out recurse, which does basically the same thing, but it works on anything, not just something you created with magic.

    Didn't see anything in the OP (first post) nor in my search.

    Is it possible to block all players from using /spells and /wand and all their sub commands while Admins can use it freely?

    I'm really loving this plugin of yours but don't want my players to be able to use it, for obvious reasons lol.

    NathanWolf

    Yes indeed! Spells talks about it, at least- not sure about Wand though. Wand is really a Spells add-on, so the OP is a bit loose on actual info... I need to clean that up :)

    Anyway, if you download Groups.jar, it will act as a pass-through for Permissions support. You can then lock down spell use by spell per player (and per world, I guess, too).

    Wand itself is not yet Permissions/Groups integrated- probably will be soon/eventually. If you want to keep someone from using the wand, you have to edit the wand properties file- but, honestly, there isn't really a good reason to do this (that I can think of). The wand does nothing without spells access anyway :)

    Let me know if that works out for you- I think it's actually working, as of Groups 0.15, provided you can set up your Permissions config files correctly (I had some trouble with the new multi-world format myself, setting this up, as an admin!)
