@godsdead could you clarify what the difference is between an iron cannon, wool or coal cannon? People say they are more powerful but I was never sure if this is true. Is it just for different projectiles?

I mentioned this in my reply to the other topic but personally I like the idea of keeping cannon designs more cosmetic so players can build them to suit the style or size of their build and would rather use different ammunition for different functions.

I think cluster bombs in iron block mortars could be a great idea so long as they remain pretty inaccurate, firing in a spread like a shotgun (the suggested explosion in mid air could help scatter shot as it falls). As they take a while to make impact, this would also give time for ships to sail out of their impact zone. At the moment they are only useful for firing over walls but this could give them a new function which could make for dynamic ship battles without making mortars the default op weapon.

EDIT: I made a reply in the previous thread before I saw this so ill reiterate to keep things organised…

Potentially:

• Cluster bombs limited to mortars (with split mid air) and removed from all other cannons
• Add ‘heavy shot’ (iron bar?) which has greater penetration/explosive damage but reduced range.
• Cobblestone kept as standard longer range shot with low penetration/explosive damage
• Also – magma blocks could be used for incendiary shot (they look like burning shot) seeing as fireworks seem to cause so many problems!

Before I reply, Please understand what is possible to actually change with use of cannons, do remember these are 2 separate plugins, A cannons plugin and then the griefprevention protection plugin, they are fully separate and don’t talk to each other, its not physically possible to tell griefprevention to allow certain blocks to break based on specific projectiles from the cannons plugin in claimed land or siege, but we can have a projectile penetrate through X amount of blocks.

I’ll dive right in:

• Add the ability to name claims to make it easier to browse /claimlist
• Add Gunpowder to the donator gifts alongside TNT
• Allow cobble shot to break hard blocks like stone brick

ps. I was also asked to suggest in the forums the removal of clusterbombs again Thanks for your consideration, Browe_

• Claim Naming: Something I requested about 3 years ago to the GP dev, I got turned down, I’ll re-recommend it as GP is being fully rewritten. I also wantd the ability to click on claimslist as a mod/admin to TP to that claim to find it.
  Update: Submitted request to dev.
• Good shout on the donator gifts! They haven’t been updated in forever! Im open to all recommendations. Ill add this to the same capacity as the TNT thats included atm.
  Update: Added 3 stacks of gunpowder and added 30 cent extra cost to TNT for donator gifts as its a bit OP for 2 stacks with clusterbombs on!
• Cobble shot is a Cheap cannonball. There is no “hard block” setting, its universal penetration, there is a “superbreakerBlocks” where a projectile with special capabilities is needed to break a certain set of blocks, but the blocks on that list are: water, lava, obsidian, enchantment table, enderchest and anvil only. and he only unbreakable block is bedrock.
  because it is cheap, at present it has:
  • Penetration damage of 1 block.
  • It Does penetration damage to the block its penetrated.
  • Explosion power of 2 (A creeper is 3)
    I think this is the factor that “breaks hard blocks” here, as its an explosion damage thats dealt. “Hard blocks” are suppose to be used to protect against creepers, and this cannonball has a lower explosion damage than a creeper.

I would suggest, a more expensive, new projectile for a larger explosion damage, Or we remove the clusterbomb from being a cluster and just a higher explosion impact (Without penetrating) as a step up from Cobble.

I think cobble being able to break Stone brick would be a little bit insane. My castle is going to have a decorated outside which has siege-able blocks and, then a stone brick wall to make sure no one can break in. With this, that removes the whole purpose of putting that extra stone brick layer to protect the inside of the castle. Also, this would allow a stone brick box to be penetrated with just a couple shots of cobble. If we had fireworks back, that would help. @godsdead there is currently a glitch with fireworks in cannons. The server is on 1.11.2, which added the addition of flight duration on fireworks for elytra boosting. Because of this add-on to fireworks, they no longer work in cannons.

Fireworks! I got sent a fix for this, but I haven’t tested it out yet. It was their ID change, and the new ID wasn’t working as Mojang really messed with this, Its something I need to test.

Update: Fixed fireworks being added to cannons, related nuke of fireworks to test from April https://piratemc.com/topic/changelog-fixed-map-rendering/

Maybe toning the damage down by A LOT, instead of removing them perhaps?

Cannons

Everyone remember, we have different types of cannons aswell, we have a few new ones aswell. We can make it so only specific projectiles have features when fired from a specific cannon, Like an iron cannon 3 long could do 1 more block penetration when firing a cobble block than when it was fired from a wool cannon if we wanted. We just need ideas.

I’ll just tag this quickly

@godsdead

@markusi13

Godsdead accidentally changed the whitelist server option to on in the configs.

He changed it back now.

However, interestingly enough, bukkit also stores a players statistics in the .world/stats/player_unique_id.JSON . So perhaps instead of actually needing to give the estimated play time in, @GodsDead could just (if the company he is hosting with allows him to access the server files) navigate this file destination and if you gave him your unique player id, which is also fairly easy for him to get just by kicking you and making you re-join. As bukkit posts your unique id every time you join the server into the console screen.

Then by navigating to your JSON file, Godsdead would simply just look for the “stat.playOneMinute”: <minutes played> statistic and then just update your play time. So in reality all that is needed to find a players play time is that players unique bukkit id.

Just a friendly suggestion,

Thank you for all these notes, I will correct everything as soon as possible! I will add a number for CaptainCrackerz’ castle (I wonder if it has a name?), add Thirteen Colonies to the coalition in the 0utlaws war, change Grim Sea to South Sea, see about the Gondolin/River sea, split or change the Super Sea to West Sea, add new Entarian towns, make sure that Tirion is elven and not part of Thirteen Colonies, add an influence area for Greywatch. Thank you again. @godsdead I’m glad the work is good! Yes, they were made with Adobe Illustrator and they are all vectors (not counting the screenshots of course). Usually the main website development software is Adobe Dreamweaver, but I don’t know if it would the best way to create a clickable infographic with external links. If we start with a basic online infographic, we would need the map as background and then 145+ small clickable icons that redirect to specific wiki pages. Then a link to this infographic should be put somewhere in the live map page or in the Piratecraft global nav, so people would visit it. I would be more than happy to help with the dynmap in the meanwhile, even without any official title, but as Bislo pointed out, the main focus I wanted to push was to encourage the use of the wiki!

I agree, If you look at the live map and show the layers for “Regen” these are just square boxes for Regions me and Blu are working on, These have clickable areas, colors for background and border, and could probity display a URL if you inputted the URL as a hyperlink in HTML, they don’t have to be square either, you can make any shape you want, this could be an option to outline where battles happened. and its got the option for color coding, and also adding icons as extra information for waypoints/points of interest.

Its a bit to learn, but me and Blu recently learnt how to properly use the Areas in Dynmap, and its only permissions needed, and then its all on one map!

Possibly we could find a plug-in allowing us to convert specific sizes of images into paintings/item frames to display the work? I am not sure how well this could work, or even if I can. Maybe ask the developer? @Godsdead

@GodsDead I have lost a lot of my play time I saw that when I reached Boatswain that I needed 30 days on and ik ive been on on for 30 days due to like 2 years of summer and weekends I cannot put an image rn beacsue of the fact I don’t have my PC with me for like 2 or more weeks but I just wanted to let you know

[EDIT]

Ik its too soon for an edit but I wanted to point out that the last time I saw that was like the 2 of may OF 2017
