Inactive [RPG] The MineQuest v0.61 - RPG System with Customizable Quests, Classes, and NPCs [1000]

testing it atm.

Thanks, let me know of any problems. Hasn't been run on any servers besides mine so far.

been waiting for some sort of quest plugin, going to test it now

I forgot to mention the abilities.jar file. When trying to install this, make sure you download that as well otherwise you won't have any abilities, put it in the craftbukkit dir not plugins. I edited the post to reflect this.

I dont know how people activate these abilities but if you could bind them to golden tools that would be cool. As an example, you say a command like "/bind fireball sword" and this makes right-clicking with your sword cast the fireball spell, but damage the sword itself

Right now you can bind spells to any item id. You just pull out the item and use /bind Fireball. Then after that using the item will cast the spell.

EDIT:
I also have something I call rebinders implemented. Where if you wanted two spells bound to your bow you can do something similar. You can have a rebinder on say cobblestone that binds Fireball to your bow, and then you can have a rebinder on dirt that will bind IceSphere to your bow. This allows you to quickly switch between spells in battle. They are set up like the following, if your are holding cobblestone and 263 is the item id for a bow (not quite sure on that), but in game /item_id tells you any item id, so you can find out for a rebinder quickly.
/rebinder Fireball 263

Would it be possible to add support for this:

As a reward system??

That. Looks awesome.
Following the development of this one very closely! Nice job!

I'm not sure what exactly what you mean by rewards system. I currently have a bit of an economy system built in so its not my first priority to be adding another. I plan on adding support for giving monetary rewards as a part of quests, is that what your looking for?

That being said, I would like to add some more integration with other plugins at some point, but first on my list is adding some more content like more Abilities and more types of QuestEvents and maybe a video on how to get started writing Quests.

There are some things I didn't get (I haven't tested it yet) :
- Are the abilities unique? I mean, can a a guy be a warrior and an archer at the same time or not? I would love to see players thinking before choosing what class they're gonna play.
- Isn't there a "classic" quest system? I mean, like, you go and kill 5 skeletons, you get money, boring typical quests. If I understood well, the whole Quest system is just an instance system, is it not?

Yes i was speaking in the sense that they could obtain currency from their local currency plugin ( be that BOSEcon or iConomy or whatever else you wish to support )

Players are not currently restricted to any single class. They start at level 0 in every class and gain experience in each class by doing activities related to their class (Warrior fighting with a sword, Miner mining cobblestone with a Pickaxe, etc.). This means you could be a high level in any number of classes. I would like to add a Prestige Class system at some point, where with the right combination of class levels you could select one per character.

In regards to the quest system: Nothing requires it be an instance, I just feel the instance system is essential to having good dungeons. Currently I do have everything setup for people to do quests in their current world, the quest file would just have to be written such that it starts with the line World:world.

I mentioned in a previous post that I really want to focus on adding more stuff right now, mainly abilities and quest events. All of my quest events currently are absolute positioning based on the world, I would also like to have relative positioning for a number of events so things can target specific questers (used mostly in normal world quests). Having some sort of quest event that requires just killing an enemy or an enemy of a specific type would probably be a good addition. I'll add it to the list of quest events I want to add.

Thanks for the answer.
In regards to the 'one-class-per-user' thing, could you make it possible in a future version?

Anyway, this is definitely on my Plugins list now! Excellent work.

Yeah, I'd be more than happy to make it an option in the properties file or something like that, I will try to get it into my next release. It should be only a change when creating a new character, after that only having one class shouldn't affect anything. I assume you would want them to still have all resource class so they can mine anything, just restrict to a specific combat class?

This is exactly what I meant
That would be great.

i have 2 different sql connectors and 3 different sqlite connectors, your plugin doesn't work with any of them, can you please upload your version of the sql connector you used when writing this.
CB version 531
minequest 2.0
mysql-connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar
mysql.jar

this crashes on load, i am also not getting a config file, which is probably relates to not starting.

Hmm... Give this one a try. I don't remember where I got it, but it has been hovering around my devel directories for a while. If that is the problem I would be happy to switch to using a different version of the mysql connector if it would work better for people.

even using the one you sent me it is still giving the same error.
also, what version of CB did you build this against?


this works on your server, can you upload the sql connectors your server uses?

I think I found the problem, from my reading around the forums it appears the my manifest was setup improperly. I believe I have fixed this. If you download a new copy from my download page that I just posted I believe it will fix it. Sorry for the problems so far.

In regards to bukkit version, up until now I have been running a copy that I compiled my self from the git repository, as sometimes I like to make changes. There is a copy of my own version on my download page, where I modified it so your hearts shake every time you are hit. This is important because as your health goes up your hearts show a percentage of your health and may not change when damaged.

Long story short I am in the process of testing my plugin with some recommended builds and will try to post an officially supported one sometime soon.

unfortunately i keep getting the same error, is the mysql connector you posted the one from your server?

yes, I have it in my bukkit directory on my server as well.

what build are you running? version of java?

If you use Windows copy your mysql-connector to C:\programms\Java\jre6\lib\ext\
Than it works fine.

still isn't working.
too bad too, sounds like an awesome plugin.

NoFear, i tried that on my windows test machine, still didn't work.
the real server is debian

I'm running Sun Java. I'll download that build and test with OpenJDK later tonight and report back. Hopefully I can reproduce the problem.

Ok, just tested it and had no problems. I did my testing on a machine running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Process I went through to test after switching to openjdk (please let me know if I did anything wrong):

Downloaded craftbukkit 531 into a blank directory for testing

Launched craftbukkit - normal first start stuff, restarted no issues.

downloaded MineQuest - put in plugins directory, it complained about the class not found.

unzipped mysql-connector that I uploaded in a previous post to craftbukkit directory - now complained about connection to database

set up properties file with database info - stopped complaining about mysql, spit out lots of stuff about not finding abilities.

downloaded abilities.jar to craftbukkit directory - everything started up fine.

Could you try deleting all of the minequest-related and the mysql-related files and see if you can follow these steps?

I get this Error, I tried doing what you said but nothing really changes.
Do I need to download anything else besides what you gave?

i don't understand it then, i can't get past the same "missing mySQL JDBC" error i was getting before

followed the exact same steps you did on my debian machine.

if you are willing, i'd like to try one last "experiment"

rm -rf the world directory from the test folder you made above, scramble your SQL login details in the minequest.properties file
then tar the entire test folder, i'll download that, untar it as is, put in my sql connect string info and try running it.
