[MECH/FUN] War v1.7.4 - Minecraft PVP Arenas (TDM, CTF & more!) [1.4.7-R1.0]

How do i create a WarHub? Please answer

Pls. read: http://war.tommytony.com/instructions

Can you add customiziable Warhubs and Lobbies. By editing the default and /savezone will destroy changes on the zonelobby please cahnge this.

Hey Tommy, I discovered another cause of the inventory reset glitch, this time it only affects 1 player! And the worst one at that!

If a player bombs the other teams base and its the last point, their inventory glitches. They score the point ending the game, everyone gets their inventory reset and back to spawn, but war takes the bomber and gives him his loadout as if he was respawning an throws him outside into the lobby instead of the regular rallypoint

Good suggestion! You could use worldgaurd regions or other plugins to achieve this though

Type /setwarhub where you want it

I have a new idea for a gameplay structures!

I call it Team Last Man Standing
When a player dies, they cant rejoin the game till the last person on the opposite team dies, this will increase the difficulty level of the game play. I tell you this will be the

fun plugin. People like capture the flag.

This plugin is awesome, but my friends on the server is getting annoyed by the 1 hit kills that have been appearing. Is this supposed to happen?

Hey guys I just noticed tommy doing some dev builds DD Im super excited

Superb plugin! It makes PvP and entire game much funnier and better, however..
There is one little annoying bug that I have found recently, everytime last player dies, that player will take all the items from last loadout and bring them back to the world instead of switching back to his inventory. This makes him entirely exchange items permanently without any other hope of getting those items returned back. Though I hope this will get fixed soon

When doing a /renamezone, it caused an internal error (We were unable to locate the error report). I was siting in the lobby as I typed this command. And it removed the arena completely.

Hi, I love this plugin but out of nowhere the warhub just dissapeared and every plugin works, this is my server starting up:

http://pastebin.com/EeEBgyN7

This has happend before but I don't know what to do to fix it, I have no errors but:

21:19:32 [SEVERE] Wrong method arguments used for event type registered

How do I fix this ^ [SEVERE], or fix the warzones?

Hey, This plugin is all fine, but there's 1 thing: 1 kit kills . Any idea? please help

Can you add the option to remove the /team command? It conflicts with a couple plugins.

Thanks,
~eriorkless

Tommy, this is really needed for all kinds of gamemodes that are currently not possible to play.
Think of the possibilities, Last Man Standing, Arena mode, Survival, Spleef!

hi, is there any way that you can send players to one warzone at a time? so all players are playing the same map but they can vote on which map is next. Sort of like the HungerGames plugin. This would be awesome! thanks.

I was also thinking, Free For All, or Free For All Last Man Standing, (just use random spawn locations in the map)

I wait the update as a christmas gift

Hi Tommy, I've just come up with a problem for now , i am using war v1.7.1
I am using GroupManager v2.9.1 as the permission plugin, and I don't add war.warp permission for the default player group . But I found the default player group can still use /warhub command.
So how can I disable the permisson of /warhub command using for the default player group ?

Thank You.

Hey People, in an effort to make myself heard this is a repost from about 3 month ago. Nobody ever responded to it with neither criticism nor praise, which is the worst reception you can get if you just want to vent off some ideas. So without further ado, here are some "fresh" ideas for additional gamemodes i would like to share with you:

Introduction: //skip if you wish. just me rambling.

I generally like the classical gamemodes that almost every PVP-game provides you with, such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch or CTF but over time I always consider them redudant and boring. Thats why I especially liked those games that introduced new fun ways to compete against other players like BF1942 (Conquest), TF2 (Payload),Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (Assault with certain goals). However, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to simply remake those into Minecraft, because those games are actually pretty good at what they are doing. To my mind, a Minecraft PVP-mod/plugin should of course allow players to be killed like in any other first person shooter but at the same time it should be adding a neat Minecraftian twist to the whole gameplay. So what combination of elements make Minecraft unique? A huge destructable environment, Mining, Crafting and Building. The ideas that I came up with try to emphasize these features rather than the mere existence of a crosshair and movement with the WASD-Keys.

Cart Escort:

• Basic Concept: Team X needs to make a minecart get from point A to point B. Team Y needs to slow/stop the advance. (just like in Payload/TF2)
• Minecraft Twist: Team X first needs to lay down the tracks from A to B within certain predefined routes under constant attacks from Team Y. Then the Minecart needs to be pushed or refueled (if its a powered minecraft) and protected against Team Y's assaults until it reaches the Point B, which marks the immediate victory of Team X.
• Ideas/rules: Team X can only put down tracks within predefined "railbeds" (3 blocks wide) narrowing the possibilies of ways to get from A to B. "Railbeds" may intersect, fork, decline, incline etc. (Tracks can only be build by one class with limited players?). Tracks are limited and therefore cannot be spammed. Team Y cannot remove the tracks once laid down. Team X can only have one cart at a time. There are checkpoints that save the cart position, and reequip/heal players like the monuments. If the cart is destroyed it will restart from a last checkpoint (? or continue from where it was destroyed ?). If the cart is destroyed by Team Y, Team X needs to purchase a new cart with gold that Team Y's players drop at death. Cart upgrades are possible (regular => powered => different speeds?). The spawnpoints shift position according to the checkpoints the cart has passed. The game may be divided into Track-Building-Phase and Escort-Phase, or instead the cart will automatically periodically appear at point A and go as far as it gets until it hits the end of a track. If it goes off the track it explodes (??!) or damages the players surrounding it at that point somehow or adds points to Team Y's score.

Resource Rush:

• Basic Concept: Team X and Team Y both need to get resource-blocks from a central indestructible crate and take them into their respective building areas where only that resource-block can be placed.
• Minecraft Twist: There they must build a tower out of resource-blocks up to a certain height/ for a certain amount of time (highest tower wins).
• Ideas/rules: One central chest stores indefinite amounts of resource-blocks or there could be several chests with depleting resources. There are limitations as to the amount of resource-blocks a player can carry (only 1 ? 10?) to prevent one-block-towers and promote teamwork. Or perhaps there could be Builder-Classes that cannot carry any weapons but several blocks instead. Team X and Team Y cannot deconstruct resource-blocks that the opposite team has placed. (They cannot deconstruct what they have placed themselves? but builders may?!). A certain height of the tower enables access to new areas with new crates or traps (death from above)

Digteam:

• Basic Concept: Same concept as in Resource Rush but the central chest holds wooden pickaxes and ladders and the point is to reach bedrock (or depth X) first.
• Minecraft Twist: Mining and Crafting pretty much.
• Ideas/rules: All the things need to be crafted from scratch except the weapons. There is a shared forest or probably better a shared chest with sticks and wooden planks. Players can only dig in the marked areas. Miners (class) may only wield a pickaxe while other classes may not at all. At certain intervals the following layers can be reached 3 block thick layer of coal, then iron and then diamond. The final 10 layers are made from obsidian. Intermediate checkpoint layers may be added that are also shared with the enemy team, in order to encourage mutual harrassment. Instead of merely reaching bedrock there may be a cave/shared area with a block that needs to be destroyed/ taken to the surface in order to win. This may be carried out horizontally by tunneling through a mountain. Also in mutual zones there may be one-team-only craft areas that have to be captured first.

Additional Ideas:

• Teams get blocks in their colour which they can place wherever they want in order to build rudimentary defensive structures, that can be destroyed by other teams.Like in SourceForts
• Build/Gamemode-Cycles restrict players to only build rudimentary defensive structures (and traps?!) in a separate phase and not in the heat of battle of CTF, CartEscort, ResourceRush, Digteam. In the Gamemode-Phase, however, those team blocks can be destroyed.

Appendix: A few of these Ideas could actually be realised using already existing bukkit plugins to deal with block placement restrictions only like VoxelGuest, Regios, WorldGuard and so on. But that would mean a hell of configuration for just a single zone and still lack a decent scoring system. Also theres always the compatibility issues one has to consider. Getting my head around all this is just too much for me. Thats why I just wanted to put the Ideas out there so that other people that are more able than me could at least play around it in their heads. I hope you like what you read, if not tell me what you think is crap. Share the ideas. Develop them. All the best!

absolutely! that would be great! random spawns + multiple spawns per team would make a great start and provide plenty of opportunities. also masking the spawn as a regular block would help .although maybe one could simply use how minecraft itself generates/ evaluates a world spawn and make the spawnpoints appear randomly computer generated within a chosen zone/ the warzone itself?

Also I just thought of another thing: Definable Goals. For example: The gamemode would be assault or something like that. Team A needs to attack and destroy a certain target (building or other) of team B. The mincraftian twist: Instead of having a previously defined zone like we do now (spawn, flag), the zonemaker could define several blocks (except air) within a "target zone" as the target that team A has to destroy in the game. a step up from this idea would of course be the ability to add several targets and be able to choose wether they have to be destroyed in a certain order or not (like storming a castle for example => 1. goal: destroy the gates. 2.goal => destroy the rookery (too much game of thrones for me lately ). 3.goal => destroy the iron throne).

There is a small bug, the way I build my arenas is in the air, floating. If someone gets the flag then jumps off he goes back to spawn, therefore getting an instant capture, is there any way to fix this?

hey, is there a way to edit the size and the blocks of a warzone lobby ?
because I want to create an advanture server but the lobies are not very good to integrate into the world...

->I could change the blocks with World-edit but I reloaded the warzone the lobby reseted :/

Yea I dislike the lobby and warhub as well, I wish I could set the base blocks =/

I agree.. Its kinda dodgy.. if only the size was adjustable too!..these lobbys take up a massive amount of space especially when they only have the warhub portal and a single random team portal its so difficult to incorporate them into a theme too..

Hello all.

So sorry that I don't have the time to answer you all individually anymore. I'm trying to find the time to hunt down the critical bugs then I'll address your more pressing concerns and suggestions (such as lobby and warhub customizability).

I found a few productive hours this week to nail down the inventory reset bug.

Those of you courageous enough to help be test new builds, please take some backups and try out War v1.7.2-PREVIEW build #51 (latest builds at http://ci.tommytony.com) and report back with any inventory reset issues you find (or anything else at all, really).

Thanks!

Head's up!

War v1.7.2-PREVIEW build #54 has some pretty nice changes, if you're willing to help test it.

Also thanks to @cmastudios for helping out with an enchantments-related bug fix.

Please let me know how the newest dev builds from http://ci.tommytony.com/jobs/War work out for you.

If I don't get bad feedback I'll try to get together a v1.7.2 release for tomorrow.

Sorry to be spamming my own thread here... :/

But I wanted to let you know that the newest dev build like War v1.7.2-PREVIEW build #58 includes:

• Customizable warhub and lobby materials
  • Changeable material for floor, outline of floor, gate and lightsource.
  • Just change the values in war.yml and warzone-x.yml and reload your server to change the look look of your warhub and lobbies.
  • This should make a lot of people happy until I rework these structures and make them really editable/template-able.
• No more trapping players in their spawn.
• Older but still recent fixes and improvements:
  • No more inventory reset bugs at end of game
  • Fixed /renamezone
  • NEW Backups in /War/temp/ folder:
    • War-specific log file
    • Deleted zone backups
    • Renamed zone backups
    • Old versions of warzones (backups at every /savezone)

An official release for War v1.7.2 should be coming soon.
