In my experience plugins and mods in general are better to be left at donation only for a start, if you see that the mod grows really big and e.g. you need more people to work on it and donations are not enough people usually handle that by releasing premium features with a small subscription fee on top of the free mod/plugin.

E.g. a plugin that requires a MySQL server connection or a website to display data which the creator would need to pay for is something someone could after a while if the plugin is successful and used by many ask for a small subscription to keep it going.

But other than that Bethesda tried it and hell broke loose, it was a PR nightmare for them and well honestly quite expected. That is why they changed it now to be free, they acknowledge that in their FAQ too:

Is Creation Club paid mods?

No. Mods will remain a free and open system where anyone can create and share what they’d like. Also, we won’t allow any existing mods to be retrofitted into Creation Club, it must all be original content. Most of the Creation Club content is created internally, some with external partners who have worked on our games, and some by external Creators. All the content is approved, curated, and taken through the full internal dev cycle; including localization, polishing, and testing. This also guarantees that all content works together. We’ve looked at many ways to do “paid mods”, and the problems outweigh the benefits. We’ve encountered many of those issues before. But, there’s a constant demand from our fans to add more official high quality content to our games, and while we are able to create a lot of it, we think many in our community have the talent to work directly with us and create some amazing new things.

hmm ok that is a normal plugin error so I don't think you have done something wrong.

Did you download the plugin from the first post here?

You could also try this version found here: [Plugin] Planks 'n Beams (updated) v0.7.0

What is the exact error you see?

Ahh I see, you need to put the Portals.jar into its own Portals folder.

So it should be plugins -> Portals -> Portals.jar

Hey could you please post a screenshot of your filesystem where you placed the files?

Note that the .jar file you downloaded should not be extracted! You need to simply copy it to your server as it is.

I see a bunch of checkboxes and dropdowns, but no info for n00bs to understand how the whole thing works.

not sure which ones you mean but better make a new thread about the topic if you want further help with the server thing

Quote from Erth2Karin

I'm playing a pre-existing world on a server. I didn't know I was supposed to install my mod on someone else's server, no idea how that even works.

Idk about all this tech stuff, I just want to run around and hoard resources and make things, hence the backpack.

I can always just go back to my lonely little SP empire, lol.

Ahh yes all rising world plugins are server side so you would have to ask the owner of the server to install it in order to use it

Are you playing MP on a server or the steam "play with friends" option? If the former do you have the plugin installed on the server?

I würde empfehlen diese Liste als veraltet zu markieren und eine neue Liste mit den Plugins der neuen Version zu erstellen

No it is total game time

hmmm after a quick search I don't see any option to change that in the definitions database unfortunately. Maybe there is an option I am not seeing in the database red51 or is changing the ore detector ore list currently not possible?

Small Note:

The code directly is impossible to edit unless you are an expert, first of all java code is compiled and not just scripted and on top of that red has obfuscated it so you can't even read method names etc. to know what you are changing. And to make any change you would have to successfully decompile the whole game, reconstruct the .java files as .class files are the compiled versions, make the change, and then recompile the whole game again. i.e. impossible unless you really know what you are doing and have a lot of time to spare.

ok I see and what exactly would you want to change in that file? What is your goal for starting this endeavour?

A class file? You mean from the game's core code or?

Did you make the same changes on the server side definitions database?

hey sorry for the short delay in replying, you should not do /portal settarget Portal_IDNo 7 but instead /portal settarget 7

let me know if that worked

yahwho I have edited and removed the link, the post is quite old but well better than never

midas Das Forum ist Zweisprachig, also Deutsch und Englisch. Neben dem Titel kann man sehen ob ein Thread auf Englisch, auf Deutsch oder auf beiden geantwortet sein soll. (z.B. dieser Thread hat das blaue Englisch Tag)

First of all the Steam version allows for offline play as well (so long as the pc had internet at the time of download, so your file copying can't work with steam unfortunately) but ofc both versions (steam and standalone) will get the new update

Sorry for the extreme delay in replying, I got caught up at work with a few important things.

So what you will need is a database browser I recommend DB Browser for SQLite: https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Then you need to go to the game's files and extract the definitons.db from the commons.jar archive. That is found inside the archive under commons/definitions/definitions.db

Then you need to open the definitions.db with the DB Browser and navigate to the table named Npcs.

There find the animals you want to change the behaviour of and set the behaviour field from AGGRESSIVE to DEFAULT.

Then save the changes via the "Write Changes" button and repack the definitions.db to replace the other one in the commons.jar archive

If you have any more questions feel free to let me know

But that is not a solution, the animal would still try to run up to the player to attack it would simply just not deal damage

So if you wanted to have the hostile animals in a zoo or something they would always escape to run up to players and try to attack them but would end up not dealing damage to them.

A real solution would be to set the hostile status of certain animals via the API which is not possible as far as I can tell.

If I remember correctly I don't think that is currently possible via the plugin API, but you might be able to do it locally for your game by changing some entries in the game's definitions database. If you are interested in that way it is a bit more involved than simply installing a plugin but I might be able to walk you through it
