LandClaim -- a more simple robust WorldProtection type plugin.

Quote from icon58

Have you installed the TOOLS API?

Thank you kindly for the reply icon58.

I have not installed the Tools API, as it did not specify this was a requirement. I have since removed both the LandClaim and WorldProtection addon, as I have found the built-in area protection system by opening the console, doing setgamemode 1, and then using F9 to create claimed areas. Have also found the Area permissions in the folders. You just copy the example.json to some things like "Owner.json", "Guest.json" etc and then set the permissions based on what you want to allow the owner & guest to do. Still figuring all of this out but looks pretty straight forward now.

The thing I like about land claim is people can do it themselves. Not sure why it is not stated a person needs tools api,but you do.

yahgiggle benutzt die ToolAPI nicht.

Aber hast du Probleme mit der ToolsAPI festgestellt, die andere Plugin's Beeinflussen?

####

yahgiggle not used the ToolAPI.
But you may have noted problems with the ToolsAPI, the other Plugin's Influence?

Not that I am aware of,the plugin itself throws up errors. Without the toolsAPI the plugin does not work so.....

LandClaim

Plugin Description

Overview:

The LandClaim plugin, developed for Rising World servers, enhances land management and player progression by allowing players to claim and protect areas while earning privileges through a playtime-based points system. Designed for both players and administrators, it provides intuitive UI menus for managing claims and settings, ensuring a balanced and engaging gameplay experience.

Key Features:

Area Claiming and Management:

Players can claim chunks of land using a dedicated UI button ("Claim Area") in the player menu.

Each player starts with a default limit of 2 claimable areas, which can be increased by purchasing additional allocations.

Claimed areas are visually marked with 3D area indicators, showing ownership details.

Players can unclaim areas using the "Remove Area" button, freeing up their allocation limit.

Points and Playtime System:

Players earn points based on their total playtime, with the rate adjustable by admins (default: 1 point per hour).

Points and playtime hours are tracked in a database and updated upon disconnection or menu interaction.

To purchase additional area allocations, players spend points, with a corresponding deduction of playtime hours (e.g., buying a 1-point allocation deducts 1 hour if the rate is 1 point per hour).

The cost per allocation is configurable by admins (default: 2 points).

Interactive Player UI:

A toggleable menu (accessed with Shift + L) provides easy access to all player features, Shift + L will also close the menu if for some reason you lose the mouse.

"Claim Area": Initiates the claiming process for the current chunk.

"Remove Area": Unclaims the current chunk. Note: Admins Can delete any Claimed Area.

"Show My Areas": Toggles visibility of the player’s claimed areas (default: Off).

"Show All Areas": Toggles visibility of all claimed areas on the server (default: Off).

"Buy 1 Area": Allows players to purchase an additional area allocation, displaying the current cost and their points (e.g., "Buy 1 Area (2 Cost, You: 8)").

"Settings": For adding Guests and permissions

"Exit": Closes the menu.

The menu is designed for intuitive navigation, with "Buy 1 Area" positioned above "Settings" and "Exit" at the bottom.

Admin Settings UI:

Admins have access to a dedicated Admin Settings menu (automatically shown on connect for admins) to manage server settings:

Points per Hour: Adjust the rate at which players earn points based on playtime. Changes automatically recalculate all players’ points to ensure fairness.

Area Cost: Modify the cost of purchasing additional area allocations.

Player Area Allocation: Adjust a specific player’s maximum area allocation while standing in their claimed area.

Admins can toggle area visibility using the Admin Settings menu or server-side commands like /showareas [true/false].

Database Integration:

Utilizes an SQLite database to store player data (points, playtime hours, claimed areas) and admin settings.

Supports migration from the WorldProtection plugin, preserving existing area claims and guest. (Backup your WorldProtection and remove it after the migration has completed)

Ensures data integrity with transaction queuing for database operations.

How It Works:

Players connect, and their playtime is tracked. Upon disconnection or menu interaction, their session hours are added to their total, and points are calculated accordingly.

To claim more areas beyond the initial limit, players use the "Buy 1 Area" button, deducting points and hours based on admin-set rates.

Admins manage settings through the Admin Settings UI, adjusting points per hour or area costs, with automatic updates to all players’ points to maintain fairness.

The plugin provides visual feedback (e.g., area labels, UI updates) and logs all significant actions for debugging.

Benefits:

Encourages long-term engagement by rewarding playtime with claimable land.

Offers flexibility for server admins to balance gameplay through an intuitive UI menu.

Enhances server security by allowing players to protect their builds and resources.

Provides user-friendly interfaces for both players and admins.

Installation:

Place the Zip file in the Plugins folder and unzip of your Rising World Dedicated Server.

Ensure the server has write permissions to create the database file in the plugin’s directory.

Restart the server to initialize the plugin and database.

Version: 1.1 (as of March 12, 2025)

Future Enhancements:

Adjust guest permissions for shared areas. Note: RW has construction and Object protection built in, For Guests to be able to remove each others construction and Objects etc the setting in the corresponding players Permissions file must be set true - such as destroyconstructions=true and destroyobjects=true

This plugin transforms land management into a dynamic, rewarding aspect of Rising World, suitable for both casual and hardcore servers. For support or feature requests, please free to post down below

any way to fix plugins not loading? i am using your plugin together with ToolsAPI notthing works, i get in the log something like this:
loaded 3 possible plugins from (my game folder)
plugin manager: loaded 0 plugins
i tried running the server exe as an admin even, no difference at all

i already checked and the plugins are enabled on the server.properties

found what the problem was, i needed to create a folder, and then place each plugin into their own folder, i don't get why you didn't just upload the plugin inside a folder already, the real problem is the documentation on this game isn't well made or well organized just yet, i did infact a procedure that was tagged as for the java version but somehow had to be done in the Unity version!

while i am here on this post i also want to suggest yahgiggle to maybe edit the post abouthis plugin and explain how you give an admin the permission to claim land as much as he wants, ot either how to give points to someone (if possible)

since the author of this plugin didn't specify it, i made my own post
click HERE to read about it

Hope this is useful to save someone else to get frustrated
Also the version of ToolsAPI you need is 0.0.9 but for some reason when you search for ToolsAPI the post that you find is a newer (and non compatible) version of ToolsAPI, AVOID version 0.1.0 of ToolsAPI because it doesn't work with LandClaim plugin YET

It looks like its functioning right. Not sure if this is an error or debug?
Is there a way to increase the Height above ground and the distance the claim goes underground?

I had this "error" forever" not to much to worry. until your server restarts even then no worries.

Is there a way to increase the Height above ground and the distance the claim goes underground?

Nope.

Claiming an area I can get the debug lines to turn off.
Unclaim an area and I get timed out When I load back in It still shows the area is mine even tho I unclaimed it.

Thanks I'll give that a try see if it resolves the issues

Hi, upon putting the landclaim.jar file in the directory with right permissions

Update: Installed API Tools, this made things work. Some documentation would save alot of frustration, logs do not adequately clarify what is missing.

Great tool, loooking for options to fully exclude desert and Arctic from this MOD to make these area's completely free

Quote from yahgiggle

you have two land protection plugins running at the same time ^^^ after the migration to the new landclaim plugin you need to remove the worldprotection

I Did some test I installed Landclaim removed World Protection restarted the server world protection comes back. How do I remove world protection when it installs with land claim and comes back after a restart
