Another big update! Wooooow!
So I did some computer maintenance to speed things up. Turns out, having 9.8 million map files slows things down. Who'd have thought? Also had some issues with steam, got a new antivirus....it's been a productive week, actually. In the meantime, after all that happened, I did a lot of plugin installation and configuration, as well as finally getting the makings of a proper hub started, as you could see in the previous post.
But enough about me, what's new with the server? Well, first, we have lots of new plugins:
- PickupMoney
- Time is Money
- Hyperconomy (and its addons)
- Citizens (and an assload of modules to support/enhance it)
- Supertrails (shiny!)
As you can tell, the big buzzword this time is "economy," which is something I've been wanting to add for a while, but I couldn't decide on one that did everything I liked. Eventually, I ended up going with what was familiar to me, even though I'm still not 100% happy on it...but hey, can't have it all. (or can you...)
Anyway, what's all this stuff do?
- - PickupMoney - -
A plugin that makes it so monsters and blocks can drop monies! I've set it up so that not every monster drops money when they die (and they won't do it all the time), and I changed the drop rate and put a cap on money earnings over time, to get ahead of possible inflation (but you can increase the drop amount by using a weapon with "looting" enchanted on it). Gold, diamond, and emerald ore also drop money when mined. Players also drop money when killed by other players. Like...all their money. 100% of your purse is dropped on the ground when someone kills you. However, I know that can quickly cause salt and chaos, which is why we also have banking options!
There are no commands associated with this plugin. Just kill/mine things, and get money.
- - Time is Money - -
Now you get money just for being logged in! It's a small amount, about $1 per minute every 10 minutes (for people without the special "vip" tag, which may be introduced later for donating to the server) but it does add up in the course of a day, a week, a month of building. You don't earn monies for being afk. This plugin also adds the option of banking via a sign-based "atm" which can be accessed via a right-click, which opens an interace whereby you can withdraw or deposit monies.

- - HyperConomy - -
An all-in-one economy plugin, allowing for various kinds of shops and trading all in one plugin. Allows for a server-wide money-based economy with dynamic prices that can either change based upon supply, or be set manually by people in their shops. I haven't configured the economy completely as I still need to edit the database and tables and etc etc etc, but it "works" and that's the key thing. Sadly, i don't think I can set up the plugin to use items as money (like gold bars or emeralds, or whatever), so we're using arbitrary numbers to represent value. Use /balance to check your number of monies. I intend to set up a server-run central "bank" that'll accept your shinies in exchange for monies to spend, and various server shops from which to buy things that are otherwise hard to get.
Admitedly, there's a lot of commands to list here.

I haven't fully configured this or set up permissions for it, but when I do, it'll allow for the creation of NPC sentinels, alchemists, builders, merchants, quest npcs, npcs that move about and do stuff during the day...lots of stuff. You'll be able to pay server monies for hiring and using your own npcs for your own nefarious purposes. I'll post more here when I get it fully set up.

Shinies to wear! Type /trails to open the interface and pick soem really neat trails to follow you around and be pretty! This may go away later, but for now, enjoy being pretty.
