[WIP] Townvalds - Towns, nations and more

Townvalds
A fully FOSS town system, implementing towns, nations, and permissions and protections management to follow along with them.
Currently this project is still a work in progress (WIP). We can use any help we can get and we welcome anyone to fork the project and make pull requests. If you are not a developer you can still help us out by using the plugin and submitting bug reports and feature requests over at our Github.

You might want to change the folder structure on GitHub to have the sources directly in the root. That way, the plugin can be cloned from GitHub directly into the Plugins subfolder in Cuberite. As it is right now, you need to clone somewhere and then copy the files.

Also, if the Plugin Repository ever gains the ability to read the Info.lua file from plugins, it won't work for your plugin because the file is not where other plugins have it.

Nice!

Do I hear TOwnVALDS as in Torvalds?

Thanks! I'll change the folder structure around.

You most definitely do As this project was started on the Minecraft server for the /r/linuxmasterrace community (Reddit), we thought it was a fun idea to combine the two names.

So a few updates.

• town spawns
  Each town has it's own spawn (can be disabled in the config) which town members will spawn to when they die, instead of the world spawn. This spawn can also be teleported to (can again be disabled in the config)
  
• fire protection
  Towns can now disable fire. Firespread from outside towns will be prevented, and the use of flint & steel is blocked. However, because of a server bug the client will think the block is on fire and shows this, even though other players won't actually see it
  
• a first implementation of nations
  Nations use the Minecraft team feature, to allow for more sophisticated team based gameplay. Each nation has a capital and a king and friendly-fire can be enabled or disabled

Are there any permissions that have to be added in order to make the plugin work properly?

EDIT: Ok, i found all the permissions - they are listed in README.md

[NiLSPACE]

There are permissions listed on the Github page: https://github.com/linuxmasterrace/townv...t-commands

I also found these in the source code:

• townvalds.town.spawn.other
  
• townvalds.chat.admin
  
• townvalds.town.delete.other

Little hint if you're wondering why you can't build in a certain area, check if the area's part of your town/nation. I was just playing around for a week, trying to find the error. *facepalm*
