Simply put, yes I was the first and original Gym Plugin for Pixelmon.
There was one called Pokemon Gym or something and it wasn’t used for pixelmon and nor did it have 10% of the features my plugin and Dragon’s mod has.
I have been the main Gym plugin for Pixelmon for a long time.
Without sounding cocky, I spent over a year working with servers to come up with idea’s.
Not got any idea’s elsewhere, implemented them as issues came up.
And yes its a bit of topic but it shows that its not “normal” to have this kind of code in your plugin.
But as tridaak said, the pixelmon devs has it as well. But what I’ve picked up over my time as a smalltime plugin/modmaker for just my own server, is that the pixelmon devs are a bit like ABkayCkay.
ABkayCkay has done it and also has Pixelmon, removed the sourcecode. Not sure if ABkayCkay did this in order to remove people like me that will recompile it without the code i dont like, or for some other reason that we dont know. The sourcecode that is will not work for spigot since its the bukkitcode. Its also outdated compared to the version that is available today.
To round this off:
ABkayCkay, will you update your GitHub to an updated version and/or make it possible for your community to add a enable/disable feature for selfpromoting content within the plugin?
I’m aware of the discord and sponge page as well. Dont think they are worth mention since they promote the plugin, not you as a person which I concider fair.
How come that you only can join one server with your plugin? I see quite alot of servers out there using it.
I’m only a regular on one of the servers that use it so no other servers even see it.
I mean yes in a future build I can disable it but through 20,000 downloads on bukkit this hasnt ever been brought up as an issue.
Hey, think you could make it so messages like the “Gym Leader has joined” and the “Gym opened” can be edited in the config? They are kinda plain in my opinion and I haven’t seen anything about changing them. Or did I miss that part?
The e4 commands are a little bit behind.
There is no queues etc for the E4 because of less people being ready for the E4 at one time.
If you want that though, you can use the gym commands and just name a gym like gym9: Fire_E4.
Spaces will probably cause issues with other commands so use “_”.
So then you just use the gym commands and features for the E4. And no, no virtual badges for E4 either so just do the same.
I think the badgecase gui name should be a bit more customizeable aswell as the join message prefix/announcement made. personally the green is hard to read and a bit ugly. as for the mod discontinuation; I will say there is still offbrand versions of pixelmon so this plugin is still essential. good work.
