Hey there,
before the great shutdown (when unity version was announced) i already started to create my own LandClaim plugin as i was not satisfied with the areaprotection we were using in the Java version. But as i did with all my (planned) plugins i stopped working on it.
When i setup my unity server i tried some existing plugins but they were not working as expected, so i started with my own plugin again. It is still not 100% where i want it to have but the main features needed as MVP are working so far.
So i want to invite some players to test it on my public development Server. The server is called
Omega Zirkel - Plugin development, dont build serious stuff!
I recommend to bind the command `/lc open` to a key or mouse, this is almost everything you need to do using it.
Current features:
- Claiming by players themself based on Chunks
- Players have a basic claim limit (can be configured)
- Players get more claims if they have more playtime on a server (rate configured by admins)
- Players have to stay a configurable time in a chunk before they can clime (prevents new players to grief areas
- (Planned: "soft decay" of chunks / protection based on playtime)
- Players can turn on "chunk view" where they can see chunks
- Current view: shows the current chunk borders in yellow
- Owned view: shows the chunks owned by the player in green
- Other view: shows chunks owned by others in blue (and other colors in the future)
- (Planned: color for special areas, areas for sale, pvp areas?)
- Players that claim a chunk become "owner" of that chunk
- Players can set other players as "friends" for their claim
- (Maybe later different permission levels are possible)
- Players can release their claims - if they dont want it anymore (!anyone else can claim then)
- Players can rename their claims
- Admins can change permissions on any claim
- Admins can release any claim
- Admins can rename any claim
- Admins don't have claim limits (configurable)
- Admins dont need to wait to claim (configurable)
- Plugin is fully translated to german + English, more languages possible (just ask)
- An overlay shows up current chunk status and time needed to claim
- Claimed areas will work even if plugin gets uninstalled as it uses ingame area functionality
Features in progress (what im still working on) before i release first version to public
- Connections to discord for claim/release announcements using my Discord Connect Plugin (optional feature, no need for Discord Plugin)
- Ingame announcements
- Area expansion (i dont want to have a 3 by 3 area of 9 single area chunks, i want to have a single big area 3 by 3 )
- Area can be expanded up,down,north,south,west,east
- expansion will respect claim limits and time in chunks but it will sum up all time so you only need to stay in one chunk)
- Special areas (admins can set an area to "special" this has no owner and will be visible as white frame with "others view")
Features planned after first release:
- Admins can mark areas as pvp areas (will be just another default area permission) will be visible as red zone in "others view"
- Players can sell their claims to other Players (first version wont use any currency, i plan to create a seperate plugin for that)
- other players can buy claims if they have enought free claims
- selling and buying will be announced ingame (and optional in discord)
Screenshots:
Now is the best time to test and give any feedback. Hope to see anyone testing next days.
Best regards
Devidian
