Estatemanager

Description

For all the citybuild servers out there I wanted to make managing estates easier. So Estatemanager is the result. An estate is a rectangle in your world which is protected from bedrock to sky, it is defined through two points P(a|b) and Q(c|d) so it's edges are |a – c| and |b – d|.

Protected means nobody besides the allowed players can :

• place blocks
• break blocks
• set fire
• perform a rightclickaction(e.g. open a chest)

And on estates blocks won't get destroyed from fire or explosions. Each estate is owned by a player who can allow other players to build on his estate or sell it to others. If a player is offline for more than 3 months his estates will be set for sale and each block will cost one e-coin and his e-coins will get deleted. You gain money by selling auctions. Every Item can be sold in Auctions.

Usage

1. Download the latest version of Estatemanager.
2. Put Estatemanager.jar into yourpathtobukkit/Bukkit/plugins
3. Configure config.yml: open Estatemanager.jar with winrar(or a similar program) and open config.yml with a texteditor
   • startmoney: the money new players start with
   • limittime: the time in milliseconds players may be offline without getting their money and estates reset
   • ppb: the standard price per block for estates (used when a player was offline too long and his estate gets sold)
4. Make estates with the command from the console or ingame and sell them to players.

Commands

Here's a list of the commands, basically everything is handled by them. I'll probably change this to some ingame rightclick – handling but for now the commands are all you need to know. For more information open Estatemanager.jar with winrar(or a similar program) and have a look at plugin.yml (open it with a normal texteditor).
