Inactive [FUN/MECH] MapClone v0.5 - Clone and Scale/Zoom Any In-game Map [1337, 1.0.1-R1]

Looks great, would love to see this work without commands somehow and require a bunch of paper and an inksac Perhaps like the original recipe, 8 paper but with the inksac instead of compass.

That would actually require the original map to be in the recipe, (7 paper, original map, and an ink sac) and in code I would need a new recipe for every map number and have it spit out 2 maps with that data value. It's doable with a for loop, it just might be a little time intensive. I could add that as an option though. Only downside though is that it wouldn't support permissions with that method and you would also have over a thousand new recipes in the server.

Of course you would still be able to add permission support. Permission support is not solely command based, you decide what should be possible with what permissions. As long as you know the user/player entity trying to create the cloned/map.
I'm not really sure how the recipes work out, but I wouldn't think you would need more than 8 recipes in order to support this idea.
Otherwise, lovely, since Notch apparently didn't come around to support this ...

Well, the way recipes work is you add all custom recipes to the server when it first starts. Since each map has a specific damage value it looks like an entirely different item to the recipe so I would have to add a recipe for each map number that you would want to clone, at server start-up. Also, as far as I know, there is no event thrown when a player crafts something (as of build 819), so there is no way for me to cancel the event and prevent the creation of the map. That's why I said it wouldn't support permissions. If you can find a way of adding permissions support, I'll definitely add that. Also, look for an option for cloning maps using a crafting table in the next version, it just won't use permissions and will be limited to the first X amount of maps that you specify.

Maybe restrict cloning of maps to a limited area around the original map? Would only be possible if there's a way to check which map is being held by a player, of course.

iConomy integration would turn this into a viable plugin to allow players to map the world for a living, too.

Interesting ideas. I'll see about limiting map creation to a certain area (might take some doing though), and iConomy support is a cool idea too (added to my todo list), although if you want iConomy support right now Command iConomy should do the trick. I'm assuming you just want to be able to charge the player for the use of the command.

Both of these ideas have been implemented in 0.3.1. Enjoy.

Command iConomy is a great idea, but would also charge if you wanted to do /mclone help, or if the command didn't work for some reason. I see you already added iConomy support, though, so thanks!

Wow, sorry. I was very confident that an event was triggered when a player crafts something, I haven't checked my self, and am not familiar with CraftBukkit, but I must say, I was very confident that this was the case. I am also shocked to learn that the maps are assigned using the damage value.

thats the way notch likes to do things, in order to not need more variables than necessary. he also uses the damage value for wool color

question: not sure if it is, but would it be possible to create a plugin for wall mounting maps?

@Denarim
No sorry. That would be client side.

wget compatible link please.

@Tux2
Nice work Thanks.

But, if you have the permission "mapclone.any" you should be able to clone maps without 2 maps in inventory...

Oh, but that would make perfect sense. Just kidding, I totally overlooked that part of my code when I coded it... I just fixed that issue, but I'm also adding another feature in my to do list to the plugin as well, so I'll wait to publish it until that's integrated as it will be done in an hour or two. (Last thing I want to do is push 2 updates within 2 hours of each other unless something is broken.)

Wget command:

Code:

wget -O MapClone.jar http://tux2mc.tk/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=2

I also added this to the main post for future reference.

Open-source?

As of version 0.4 it is now open-source. Source code is at: https://github.com/Tux2/MapClone

Nice

You should use Register, then you support all major economy plugins

@halvors sorry, I don't know what you mean by Register. If you could link me to either the thread or the documentation I would see about getting this implemented.

@Tux2

Review has been done for this. See it here or below : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIBsm_M2xKQ

Not trying to be mean. But you can alreday do this all you have to do is opp a map.

The video only shows map_0, which can be done normally, but for all the other maps, 1,2,3,4.... you have to use a plugin to give yourself a map with that damage value. Sure, you can do it, but do you really want your users giving themselves items? This makes it more realistic.

Whenever I type /mclone 2 it always just says /mclone <map number> and doesn't let me clone the map. The crafting recipe doesn't work at all. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Please submit a proper error report:
Version of craftbukkit:
operating system:
Java version:
Any error messages in console:
Mapclone config file:

my bukkit build is 1.6.6
i use windows xp professional
java 6 update 26
no errors in console, other than the /mclone <map number>
mapclone config file is 0.4

Bukkit build should be a number like 818,860, or 928. It usually shows a line like this in the console:
This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-0.0.0-889-g22f4388-b928jnks (MC: 1.6.6)
Also, instead of the version number of mapclone, can you show me the settings.ini in the plugins/mapclone directory?
