SpeedMeter

About

SpeedMeter is a simple plugin which shows your actual speed. It could use Spout and then show the speed info in the top left corner. If the user/server doesn't use Spout it will print the speed in the console.

Resources

Installation

This plugins needs the Bukkit Plugin Utilties at least version 1.0.0, place it in the lib/ directory and rename it to BukkitPluginUtilities.jar!

Spout

It is possible to use this plugin with Spout. It was tested with the plugin version 1.0.2.187, 1.0.2.199 and 1.0.6.403 with the client versions 1.0.2.223, 1.0.2.224, 1.0.2.237 and 1.0.6.499.

Commands

There is only one command which starts/stops the measurement:

• /speedmeter [delay time] [unit]

Instead if /speedmeter it is possible to use /sm instead. If no delay and unit is set, it will set the delay to 1 second and the unit to meters per second.

The delay time defines how long the plugin measures and has to be set to seconds. For example if it set to 5 seconds it will check each 5 seconds how far the user has been moved and then calculates the speed by deviding the distance with the time difference.

The unit can be set only if the delay is set. The unit has to be the abbreviation. For example to show the speed in kilometers per hour use km/h as unit. So to update it each second the command has to be: /speedmeter 1 km/h.

Units

There is only the unit "meters per second" (m/s) build in. It is possible to add own units via the units file. By default in this file there are the units:

• Kilometers per hour (km/h)
• Miles per hour (mph)
• Nauticmiles per hour or knots (kn)
