[MECH] OtherDrops 2.7 - Ultimate block/mob/player drop editing [1.4.7]

Sounds like a plan, its good to keep em on their toes... Is it CREATURE_CAVESPIDER ?

Edit: Also, so far no error messages with latest beta

Yup, or just CAVESPIDER should work (technically it's CAVE_SPIDER but OtherDrops 2.2 should be able to interpret it without the underscore).

Cool - I might release 2.2 shortly (only minor changes - fix DEFAULT for fishing and a couple more aliases).

If anyone's interested in customising mobs - health (including ranges for more variance in mobs), attacks (fireballs, snowballs, freeze & burn), abilities (glowing, flaming, etc), factions (some mobs may not like others) and where they spawn (based on the same conditions as Otherdrops) - check out my work in progress: OtherMobs (there's a pre-release download at the bottom of the page - be careful with it)

There's also an example config for it here which shows a bit more of what I have in mind.

Release 2.2 (download in top post)

- DEFAULT now works correctly with fishing actions
- new aliases (SPAWN_EGG for MONSTER_EGG, GLISTERING_MELON for SPECKLED_MELON)
- od-fix_undroppables now has endermen dropping their contents on death

@Zarius

Please fix creeper explosion, because if creeper explosion kill Sekelton or another mob it drops a lot...

im having trouble getting my creature drops to work could you possibly look at it to see if there is something dumb i am doing, i think it might be my gold/XP line here

also with othermobs are we gonna be able to use mobs aliases for otherdrops like CREATURE_HELLHOUND if Hellhound is defined in othermobs?

Odd - just tested it and it works fine - can you please provide more details on the isssue? What version of craftbukkit and otherdrops are you using, what's your config and how many items are we talking we you say a "lot"? Is this only with mobs that are customised with otherdrops or do you get a lot of drops via creeper death from mobs that aren't customised?

You're better off splitting that gold xp drop into two to fix the messages appearing every time:

Code:

        - drop: XP/25/15%
          message: ["Bonus xp!"]
          exclusive: 1
        - drop: GOLD_INGOT/1-3/15%  
          message: ["&3Oooo %q gold!","&3%q gold has dropped..","&3Grab that gold."]

Testing this I found there's a problem with %q (it's showing 0 every time in this config) - this will be fixed in the next build.

If there's more issues you're having with the config you posted please let me know more details about what the issues are.

Yeah, the plan is to allow OtherDrops to customise OtherMobs creatures.

Release (download in top post):

Version 2.2.1 (2012/01/30)

* Quickfix for messages in some configs showing 0 for %q

Zarius - i think it's worldguard fault, I used to fix it: ANY_CREATURES, I written it on stop_mob_farming file and it's works now.

using new setup still not getting results in game no yml errors or anything in the console running the 2.2.1 priority was set on high in the config

othermob related would you plan on adding on option to skin them with spout for users already running it

Hi ! I have a server 1.0.1 with craftbukkit 1.0.0-R1. Did your new update will work or I have to update my server in 1.1 ?

Should work fine in 1.0.1 - let me know if there are any issues (hmm... spawneggs alias might stop it from working, either way give it a go on a test server and let me know, I can work towards getting a backwards compatible build going).

Hmm... do you get any startup messages from OtherDrops? If not then somethings not working...

OtherMob: yup, you'll see in the example config page on BukkitDev that I've for a skin: parameter there It all depends on how difficult it turns out to be.

OK thank's. I'm testing all my plugins in 1.1.
Does it correct ? :

Because when I brook redwood with diamond axe I just receive the message but not the money. I use Iconomy 6.0.7

@gawelium

Assuming the spacing is correct (looks like the tabs are gone in that copy/paste - try using <code> </code> blocks? - replacing <> with []) it all looks good and should work. Does the ANY_AXE drop (ie. 1-5 logs) work?

Is there any message about hooking into iconomy on startup? Perhaps put verbosity on highest in the otherdrops-config.yml file and check startup messages as well as messages when you break the log?

@Hopium



Custom skins for OtherMobs was easier than expected with Spout - just need better skins

Yes Yes, spacing is correct, all is correct in fact !! but in permissions file I was in the wrong job !! sorry !!
But with "verbosity: highest" there are too much messages in the console !
With the money's message, I haven't got the iConomy message like : You obtain xx dollars. Maybe a setting in iConomy ?

@gawelium - yeah, highest has a _lot_ of messages Good for working out issues though. I'd recommend normal or low for a live server.

For money I don't think there is a default message - not sure about iConomy but you can use a message in OtherDrops like: "message: You got %q dollars." You should be able to check how much money you have by typing /money before the drop and /money after the drop.

Yes thank's.
But I modify the Money drop :
drop: [MONEY/100%/0.01-0.9]
message: Tu obtiens un peu d'argent (%q CrazyCrafts)

And in game it's write : 1 CrazyCrafts. how to set the 0.8 par example ?

@gawelium

You need to leave off the [] brackets. Because the []'s indicate a list which could contain multiple items the %q option doesn't know how to work so just tells you how many drops of the list it does (in this case one drop containing 0.01-0.9 money). This should work:

Code:

  GRASS:
    - drop: MONEY/100%/0.01-0.9
      message: Tu obtiens un peu d'argent (%q CrazyCrafts)

You're a genius ! thank's

edit : I think we can add a code color in the message? what would it be ?

Yup - use &1 through &9 and then &A through &F, codes and colours are here.

Eg - message: ["Color test: &EYellow, &CRed, &fWhite"]

thank's.
like this ?

Code:

LOG@BIRCH:
        - tool: ANY_AXE
          drop: LOG@BIRCH/100%/1-3
          permissions: bucheron
        - tool: DIAMOND_AXE
          drop: MONEY/50%/0.01-0.9
          message: &9 Tu obtiens un peu d'argent &b (%q CrazyCrafts)
          permissions: bucheron

Yup, that should work - just test it out

doesn't work

Code:

[SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling OtherDrops v2.2.1 (Is it up to date?): found duplicate anchor 9; first occurence; second occurence

Ah, you need quotation marks around it. ie. "&9colored text...."

Thank's. Works

@Zarius got it figured out i was pointing to drops.yml not include/drops.yml and it auto generated the file so there was no errors im just a slow kid, another quick question is do have to disable the default drops for each custom drop or is there a way to do it globally. thats awesome about the skins, now i can make skeleton knights and goblins!!

You should be able to use "drop: NOTHING" and then specify your own drops.

For doing it globally:

Code:

  ANY_BLOCK:
    - drop: NOTHING
  ANY_CREATURE:
    - drop: NOTHING
# rest of your config down here...

ok i included that into my config but i am still getting strange behavior i uploaded a video showing what i mean cause it would be easier i think then explaining, the exclusive isn't working properly i believe and its tripling drops sometimes i'll include my config again and here is a quick video at :35 you see it drop xp and gold even tho they both have exclusive 1 and a few double triple drops

log excerpt just me reloading with 0 errors in config and no others showing up while killing mobs

Sorry if I missed this, but do you have an example(s) on the vanilla CREATURE_ENDERDRAGON drop and how to modify it? Our server has a small hoard of ender dragons due to a bug in the end.
