Lite Survival Games Manager

This project is abandoned. Use an alternative plugin.

Description

Survival Games have become popular in Minecraft recently, with the Hunger Games movie. The goal of the game is simple: survive. Players must adapt to the environment, find resources, and - most importantly - kill. The last player standing is the winner. The goal of this plugin is to allow players to run servers - whether big, public servers or smaller ones with friends - easily and make the experience more enjoyable. The hope for this plugins release is to allow admins to add maps, configure the plugin, then run the server and take the day off. Making the entire game automatic and requiring no admin at all.

Features

Create a backup of the world to reload after the match
Automatically refill select chests with select items
Set players to spectate mode after death
Changeable time limit
Automatically restart and reload world after the match.
Allow admins to set hosts with simple commands
Keep track of individual scores
Store data in a SQLite file
Allow a server to load different maps in a map cycle
Allow multiple spawn points to be set up
Black or white list blocks that can't or can be broken, respectively, by players in-game
Voting to start a game without an admin
Selecting a button/lever to be triggered on game start
Auto start with minimum players

Spectate mode will god players, allow them to fly, make them invisible, and prevent them from interacting with the world. They can also teleport to players.

Use

Set the server up for auto restart. See the section below.
Edit the config files to your liking. They should be config.yml and blocks.yml in the plugins/LSGM folder.
Add a map to the map cycle. Type /lsgm addmap <mapname>. You can add as many maps as you'd like, they'll be randomly picked from the file (same map can not be repeated) to be loaded on restart.
Set spawns. You will want an individual spawn for the maximum players on your server. If there are too few spawns, more than one player should be spawned at a spawn point. Stand on the spawn point and type /lsgm addspawn <id>.
Add chests. Chests will be automatically refilled on a set time or will be refilled on the command /lsgm fillchests. Look at the chest and type /lsgm addchest <id> [group], or - if you feel that your computer can handle it - type /lsgm addchest all and every chest on the map will be found automatically. You must fly around and make sure you load every chunk on the world to get every chests! Currently, we can only find chests on loaded blocks.
Back up the world. This allows the world to revert to its original state when it is loaded next. Just type /lsgm backup.
If necessary, add a start button or a lever. This will be activate when the game starts. Look at it and type /lsgm addbutton <id>
Start the game. Go ahead and type /lsgm start [chest refill delay in minutes] [time limit in minutes]. If you do not specify a refill delay or a time limit, they will default to a 15 minute refill delay and no time limit.
Check for bugs! There are probably going to be a lot. Not an understatement.
Type /lsgm help for various other commands.
If set, the server will automatically restart after the game.

Recommended: Download AntiCheat to easily disable client mods and prevent exploitation!

Auto Restart

In order for the server to start up again after the plugin has stopped it, you must change the file you use to run the server (e.g., RUN.bat). You will need to loop through the java -jar command so that it is ran when the server goes down. See the examples below:

Windows (*.bat)

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
:start
java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit.jar
goto start

Mac/Linux (*.sh)

#!/bin/bash

BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
cd "$BINDIR"
while true
do
java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit.jar
done

Configuration

config.yml

This is the general config file.

# -- blocklist-type
# Use "black list" if you want what is in blocks.yml to not be broken by players. 
# Use "white list" if you want the blocks in blocks.yml - and only those blocks - to be allowed to be broken by players. 
# If you do not want to block anything, leave this as black list and leave blocks.yml empty
# Warning: If this is set to white list and blocks.yml is empty, then no blocks can be broken.
# -- time-limit

# -- auto-restart
# Set to "true" to automatically restart the server after a game, otherwise set to "false."
# -- restart-delay

# -- alow-vote-start
