Warbands - Factions alternative planning thread

Then just do warbands.title.color
Also a ‘user’ and ‘semi-user’ perm group like
Warbands.group.user
Would inherit perms like…
Warbands.join
Warbands.leave
Warbands.title
( etc )
Semi user can’t make Warbands
Users can make Warbands
Mods can modify other Warbands rename etc
Admins can completely modify like delete kick certain people etc.
And Warbands.group.user is given to everyone by default?

I can say that some sort of internal permission system is planned (but how it’s going to be implemented wasn’t discussed yet). Permissions are a must anyway so I guess they’ll be there. Concerning the alias, yeah, thats a good idea. I personally think that we should definitely have a language file.

Whats about prefixes ? [faction] [rank] [username] etc. the could get pretty long if you show the faction in chat

Yes I agree prefixes can get pretty long, although as of right now I’m not sure what we could do to shorten it.

we could shorten the faction names to about 2 to 4 letters Maybee.
but even with shortening or minimalistik ranks [O] [A] the prefix is very long so we could indicate the rank with the color but also this is quite missunderstandable

Well, the ultimate solution would be customizable formatting. I’m thinking something like logger output formatting strings.

Example: [%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5level] [%t:%logger{36}] : %msg%n (log4j)
Obviously customized for our use.

The real question is the implementation.

I can totally agree with that

Limit a warband title to like 8 letters?
Btw 4 is to short.

How many combinations can you make (THAT ARE WORDS) with 4?

Make sure the default is like 8 but server owners can modify if they wish.

Star
Cool
Kewl
Swag
Peps
Coke
Hell
Hi
Hey

Imagine a POPULAR Warbands server you think the only combinations left would be like
ABCD
DCJE
RISO
EISD
QWED
SHSA
AOAA
HDKS
AAAA
AAAB
AAAC
AAAD

And so fourth, 4 IS to short, 8 is more reasonable
A few:
Awesome
Peoples
CrazyPep
KewlPeps
CoolPeps

There will probably be a limit, but I think even 8 letters is a bit short. Why would we limit people’s creativity when it comes to names?

The limit should be 16 characters. To coincide with max name sizes.

Tags, on the other hand, should be 4 characters.

Thats what I was thinking. Also, you could in an emergency case still shorten the names xD

Allies sounds wonderful.

Name has kinda been decided already xD

Oops, I didn’t notice! :slight_smile:

Ye just have the default config set to like 16?
That’s modifiable

OR

Have a name and a tag, a name is like
Six Nations
The tag would be
SN

And have most custumizable
Like let’s say I wanted tag BEAST my name could be SixNations

Or even something like name is 16 limited and tag is 6?
Idk tag should be a lot shorter and a server owner using a chat plugin like,

Let’s say
[WTag] = Warband Tag
[WName] = Warband Name

So a config that would be
[WTAG] [RANK] [PLAYER]: [CHAT]

Sending chat message:
’ Warbands… Could be a useful plugin ’

Would show as
HI [Owner] Latouth: Warbands… Could be a useful plugin

I like Tags And Names
Also make sure there’s like
[WRank] like Leader, Admin, Mod, etc of the Warband not of the server.

/w Setrank (player) (RANK) = Lets say the Warband leader is giving someone by the name of ‘Notch’ a rank called leader it would be
/w Setrank Notch Leader
Seems logicial to me…
/w Rank (player) = Shows what the players rank is
/w RankList = Shows rank of a Warband like the there’s hard coded ones (Leader,Co-Leader,Regular,Recruit) and ones server owners can set like ’ Leader ’ and then permission warbands.rank.create

Well I think a plugin core is so like let’s say one developer uses one api/code along and all his/her plugins use it why make every plugin be over used with code if it could hook with the plugin core

Example:
Plugin A ~ Bar Announcer
Plugin B ~ Text Announcer
Plugin C ~ Use bar announcer to sends alerts.

A api would be good instead of having groups of code twice, make it once and hook into it.

Anyway Just ask if you don’t understand a part or need more info, I have tons of ideas so ask if you want them :slight_smile:

Don’t hesitate to ask.

Sounds good to me

Just to clear up, the fact that BitBytes factions is up there is due to a troll as of what I’ve understood.
We have agreed on Warbands as name

Having a config is something that has been agreed on.
A name and a tag is definitely worth considering. (If we go with that, both will have a max-length option.) As for chat formatting, we’ve discussed it earlier, and we kinda decided (Suggestion) on using chat formatting strings. (Pheraps as a separate plugin with api so everybody can use it?) The plugin itsself will have an API for interacting with it anyways. As for the command names, they havent been decided on yet. For additional ranks, there will definitely be a way to add ranks via API, not sure about config yet.

Also, for ideas, may I redirect you to our suggestion doc?
