You dont have to go out and learn just for the sake of coding plugins

Im just seeing if anyone already has the capability and was willing to help

And yes i plan on working on it more than just a week

ok so i think im gonna make a few separate plugins for the sake of simplicity because it would be easier to fix one problem in one plugin rather than 1 problem that shouldnt affect half.

1st plugin is gonna be a hierarchy system of lords and vassals, ill go into more detail later.

2nd plugin will be for careers/jobs

3rd probably a chat-type plugin

A bounty plugin? There are prolly lots of them out there, im just too lazy too look, but i think it would be cool to have. One person can spend money to make a bounty on another, then for half the reward of the bounty someone can accept it. If they dont complete in 1 day, or when the bounty expires (most likely 7 days) then they do not get their money back from accepting, and the bounty is gone. (But the person who set it does get the money back.)

PROGRESS!!!

I made it so if you say "potato" it makes you say "French Fries!!!" instead

Basically i know how to process and edit events now

Finally got my /blue command to keep a player's text blue

in other news: .equals() is friggen useless when you use it with anything except Strings

My plugin now changes the color of what you say by typing /ludicolor (a color or "colors" to list the available colors)

and it stays that way until the server restarts.

Im not sure how to do permanent storage for data yet.

Cleaned up the code a lot for the chat plugin and removed hungryman yesterday.

Here is the starting plan for my hierarchy plugin:

It is a relatively simple system of lords and vassals such that lords have vassals and those vassals are lords to other vassals so the lord on top is lord of all lower levels. If you were to draw a diagram it would look kinda like a pyramid with the highest lord on top.

Vassals can only have one Lord. Lords can have varying numbers of direct vassals depending on their Rank (not to be confused with Level). Direct means they are directly under the lord, unlike a vassal's vassal - while they are still the lord's vassals, they are not direct vassals.

There will be 25 Levels and 10 Ranks as follows:

Level------------------------Rank---------------------Grade(Sub-ranks)
0----------------------------0 Newcomer-------------x
1----------------------------1 Homeless--------------x
2----------------------------2 Peasant----------------x
3----------------------------3 Citizen-----------------x
4----------------------------4 Noble------------------x
5,6--------------------------5 Lord-------------------2
7,8,9------------------------6 Duke------------------3
10,11,12,13----------------7 Earl--------------------4
14,15,16,17,18------------8 King--------------------5
19,20,21,22,23,24--------9 Emperor----------------6
25--------------------------10 God--------------------x

At each different Rank you can have more direct vassals.
(always unlimited indirect vassals except rank 0 and 1)

Rank # of direct vassals
0------------x
1------------0
2------------1
3------------2
4------------3
5------------4
6------------5
7------------6
8------------7
9------------8
10-----------10

In order to gain levels you will need Prestige(basically experience).
Prestige is gained every full hour you are online.
Here are some basic equations of how u will earn Prestige:
Prestige / hour = Power x Level + Lord Bonus
Power = amount of total vassals + 1(the one is you!)
Lord Bonus = your Rank x your Lord's Power / (your Power x 2)
Prestige required for Level n: {picture below with equation}

(it works out so level 25 is 10mil, I want it to take a while...)

I might change those around a bit but for now i think they balance well.

A vassal's level must be less than their lord's level when recruited. If a vassal's level reaches their lord's level after being recruited it is fine. If a vassal's level exceeds their lord's level then they can no longer be that lord's vassal.

Two commands I already know will be part of the plugin:

/recruit [player] - sends a message to [player]
"Name would like to have you as one of their vassals - /follow [accept/deny]"

/follow [player] - sends a message to [player]
"Name would like to become one of your vassals - /recruit [accept/deny]"

To wrap it all up:

Prestige will be used in some way to buy protected land for you, your lord, and your vassals. I'm not 100% sure yet how that will work.

My hope is that it will promote large amounts of people to work together and to still allow just about anyone to start a following while not needing to build your kingdom a million miles away.

TL;DR - Read the first paragraph and last 2 (highlighted in blue) for the main ideas while skipping technical jargon

I didnt really understand any of that... but im sure its good !

Much progress much progress

I've coded about 40-ish methods for the main object class I'm using.
(like 200-ish lines of purely ludi made code)

Registered all them equations I was talkin about.

I also just finished integrating the level up system to the main plugin class.

All i have to do at this point is add in-game commands(integrates clan and vassal/lord systems and commands that give information)

Im in the home stretch for LudiHierarchy but coding some of these commands may take some serious thought...

Just remembered I still dont know how to make data save when the plugin is reloaded or turned off then on...

Heh, add that one to the ol' task list :/

I'm gonna finish spawn before you finish the plugin

I'm sure you could get me to pay $1 for it

Do u mind if there are bunnies in the background?

How about supermodels holding bunnies?

*pornstars

there is a difference?

Ok so im deciding on how clan colors work:

I could do 1st color is brackets []
2nd is 3 letter tag in the brackets outside 2 letters [P-Z]
and Now the 3rd color would be the middle letter of the tag and the players name
[PHZ]Ludik

So it would look like this:

[PHZ]Ludik

Is that good or should the three colors work differently?

Btw no clan will be allowed to make their clan tag the same 3 letters as another and there will also be no two clans with the same colors in the same order.

What about [PHZ]Ludik

i thought of that but i feel like the tags should have 3 colors themselves otherwise each tag starts lookin more similar which ruins the uniqueness of em

True.

i think having multiple colours in a tag is no good, as it looks uneven and awkward. Also, if you make it so only 3 letters in a tag what will happen to bounty?

I guess Bty but thats gayer than Swimmer's transsexual father

Also who the fuck keeps thumbing down everybody's posts
Don't blame me

I like the [PHZ]Ludik tag but i think name should be white for everyone else so colored name can be for admins, mod, w/e so its easy to recognize them for example

normal clan members [PHZ]nobb9360

admin/mod/w/e [PHZ]Ludik

Or you could add a [Mod] or [Admin] tag?

swimmerboy1196 wrote:Or you could add a [Mod] or [Admin] tag?

i think that would be too much especially ppl with long names like TAKterminatoror or Ferentinofighter it would be like
[MOD][PHZ]TAKterminator just wouldn't look right

ok i think ill go with nopt

Altho im not sure how well my plugin will work with others to make name colors change for just certain groups...

And to clarify, your clan has a tag and a name

So Phazium has a tag [PHZ] and Bounty could be [BTY] but the tags just make it so they r short and easier to make unique while staying in an identifiable format in the chat

But if u were to do /ludih stats [player] it would list their full clan name as well as their clan tags

Alright, sounds good
