About Development / Broad Information

This project was started and completed in the months of May and June this year, but I've decided to release it finally. It's not perfect and it is still open to suggestions and changes having to do with any aspect of the plugin. The goal of this project is to port the semi-popular Garry's Mod game mode "Basewars" to Minecraft Bukkit. It is appropriately titled "MCBasewars." Another thing to note is that this plugin comes with everything you should need without any other plugins (save for WorldGuard / world backup plugins): a PM system, special weapons, miscellaneous utility commands, a store, teleportation, and most of the Basewars commands available. You will not want many other plugins and you should dedicate a server folder to this plugin if you wish to play. In simpler terms: This plugin was not built with other plugins in mind. With that said, here is a quick description of the plugin:

Description of Gameplay

You start off with limited funds to begin your operation. Once begun, there is no turning back. You buy a money printer off the black market, you settle down, and you go into defense mode. There are others out there doing the same as you, but some people are just out for blood. It's up to you to become the richest on the server and thrive in a community full of destruction. There are special weapons, perks, and commands that come with the game. Use them to your advantage.

More Specific Gameplay Information

In Garry's Mod Basewars, you enter a server and use props to build a base. Once in the base, you use the Q menu to purchase printers, generators, sentries, etc. In Minecraft, neither of those things is directly possible. In my implementation of Basewars for Minecraft, you use store commands to purchase printers, weapons, drugs (potions), etc for prices that you can set in configuration files. The prop base-building is handled by a sort of block-management system where you can't break normal blocks (Unless you're in moderation mode, which you can enter by typing "/mcb mode moderating") and you are limited to a certain number of placed blocks, which you must purchase from the store (again, prices are configurable, so if you're a server administrator, you could make the blocks free if you wanted to). Once you've used your placed blocks to build a base somewhere, you ought to buy some printers to start generating cash. Once you buy the printers from the /store, you will place them down and they will start doing their thing (printing, that is). Once you place the printers, however, you've made yourself vulnerable (unless they're tier 0 printers). If you have tier 1+ printers, other players can /scan you to learn about which printers you have and raid your base to destroy your stuff. If this happens, you probably won't have much money any more, so don't let that happen.

Installation

As previously mentioned, this plugin was not designed for use with a wide array of other plugins. With that said, installation is pretty simple.

  1. Download the jar from the Download button on the right sidebar up there.
  2. Put the jar in the /plugins/ directory of your server.
  3. Reload or restart your server once or twice.

You should be good to go. To increase your satisfaction with the plugin, though, you may want to go through the configuration .yml files in the MCBasewars folder that should generate after the above steps and change the values to fit your liking.

Permissions and Commands

You can read up on permissions and commands here. PermissionsBukkit is the recommended Permissions plugin.

Notable Features

These are things that I'm proud of that have been added to MCBasewars.

  • Economy with /money command. Admins can set/modify people's money while users can give/receive money from others.
  • Block protection and ownership management. Someone based in a place deemed illegal? You can tell who they are.
  • Minimal overhead. Compared to other plugins I was running alongside MCBasewars during testing, this was the least server intensive.
  • Freakin' Awesome Bows
    • One for each enchantment
    • Super Bow with all enchantments
    • Explosive bow, equivalent to grenade launcher in GMod Basewars
    • Arsonist's bow, creates fire around where the arrows land
    • Schizo bow, creates strange noises coming from where the arrows land. (This is nothing against people suffering from Schizophrenia)
    • Info bow, scans the area around where the arrow lands for players. NOTE: This only lists them, it's NOT equivalent to /scan.

Small Note To Other Developers

This is under the GNU GPLv3 license, meaning it's technically supposed to be "open source." So, if for any reason you want the source code, if you contact me, I have no issue giving you a downloadable .zip with the source code, nor do I mind anyone decompiling the jar, but I don't have it in a download at present.

Contact Me

You can contact me here with PMs, but that probably won't result in a quick response. Honestly, unless this plugin goes big and I end up spending a lot of time here responding to feedback and updating the plugin (which would be amazing, I would love that), then it could take a few days / weeks for me to respond to you here. If you have Steam, you can contact me there (here's my SteamRep to help you find me) which should result in a response within a day, for sure. If you have an E-mail, you can contact me at Jpon90 at gmail.com, which I check at least weekly (it's not my personal, but I try to check it somewhat often). The fastest way to get my attention is to add me on Steam, though.
