Kuke and I are making a mod/plugin for ECC only any ideas of what it should be about? We will post it here when its done Cactus Autofarming Fix: by kukelekuuk00 http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/cactus-autofarming-fix/
Write a mod that polls the web market and grabs current market value prices of items... I was going to write it, and if you do, I won't have to
like I said to jamie I still have no experience with bukkit plugins and I still have to learn a bit before I can do most stuff (atm I am thinking of something that could get cactus back on this server)
On that note, fix pistons, or atleast write a way to detect duplication and autoban or something. Full use of redstone devices would boost economy, I'd bet.
I like the idea but the problemo is Andrew letting us have access to the Web Auction Coding is easy use but how do you want the poll displayed? @Kuke great idea Andrew only banned cacti because of profit Fix:Change the way auto cacti farms work,by changing the entity class of the popping off you don't get the cactus = no way to farm cacti
have you ever worked with bukkit before? bukkit is an API and thats all, you dont modify existing classes you build on them and override them by use of the API . and I am aware of how to fix it, infact I have already been working on it (I am a bit stuck so I need to follow some more tuts) I am making it so that it only drops items when a player breaks it (you would have to farm from top to down though)
@Kuke Couldn't you just make it so that it can't grow next to a block? That would fix the problem if I'm right. You wouldn't be able to have it break itself (No lag/auto farms), and you could still break the bottom block and get all of it.
then you should know that we dont use mods in this server (and I did it for vanilla multiplayer and singleplayer already) @d0rc thats not possible because of the way everything is written (it updates after it grows)
@Kuke Then just make it so that if it breaks by being next to a block, it drops nothing. Can you do that?
And where should it send the poll? I was thinking of using HeroChat to display it and what is the data we will be displaying?
@Kuke Well, you said that if it wasn't broken by the player it would drop nothing. I'm saying, only if it's broken by the block next to it would it drop nothing. It might be more complicated, but farming cactus is a pain when it disappears because of other cactus, and there isn't nearly as much of a point in cactus without farming. (Although, there is still a lot of uses, just farming is the main thing.)
the issue with what you said is that it uses the same method as the other things (like no sand/cactus below would do the same thing)
Not too sure if it is invented yet but I'm sure that people in single player would find a mod that takes away the hunger aspect useful... I know I would =]
JamieSinn, I assume that the web auction is a bukkit plugin, so it should end up being very easy to write this. If that turns out to be false though, just have your bukkit plugin/client side mod (depending on how you want to write this) pull data from http://market.ecocitycraft.com/scripts/ ... essing.php. It's in JSON format so it'd be easy to parse.
