Wilderness Menus are finally here! The update to the Wilderness I've been working on for a few months is now available on the server. This introduces a era for Noobstown; the ability to manage your things through simple to use menus over typing dozens of commands; if the Wilderness menus are liked then I'll probably expand it out to other areas such as mcMMO and Towns, etc.
There's more than just those changes to the commands in this update though. You can see some clips of things at https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/msg87937/#msg87937). I've hopefully improved lots of different features:
Commands
- Almost all commands will now work using the quick menus. Simply clicking around in the menus should allow you to do most things. All the old commands will still work doing the actions they did before, but with menus to make it easier hopefully.
- You can now just do /wild to view an overview of all of your Wilderness stuff, and to quickly access most of the other menus! The help has moved over to /wild help.
- There is no longer the need to use commands such as /wild chunks list and /wild builders list, etc. simply doing /wild chunks and /wild builders now automatically bring up the lists. If you need to get the commands as before, simply use /wild ... help.
- Introduced short alias commands for /wild chunk info so you can now just use /wild info. Similarly you can also just do /wild highlight to highlight the current chunk.
- You can now easily find the 'number' of your chunk for use in /wild home [number], simply do /wild info when stood in a chunk and it will tell you the number.
- Friends are now determined independently, meaning just because you add someone as a friend it doesn't mean they have to add you. This means you can now remove your Wilderness Friends even if they're not online. To take advantage of the friend features you must both have added each other though.
- Using the new /wild chunks list you can now manage each chunk even if you're not stood in it!
- Using the updated /wild map you can now buy land when you're not even stood in it.
- Confirming is now done in a menu, there is no need to use extra commands for it now.
- Added new command /wild chunk icon (accessed by clicking the icon in the chunk details screen. This allows you to change the chunk icon in the lists, map, etc.
- Help commands should now give a little more information and can be accessed for the main command options simply by adding "help" to the end; such as /wild builders help.
Pricing
- The price for each chunk has been dramatically reduced. You can now also work out how much you're likely to be paying using this simple formula:
(Number of existing chunks - 20) * 500 = Next chunk price- Reduced the minimum price of a single chunk down from 1,000Nbz to just 500Nbz.
- Reduced the maximum price of a single chunk to just 100,000Nbz.
- The disconnection fee has been reduced from 50,000Nbz and 500,000Nbz to just 30k and 100,000Nbz.
- The transfer fee has been reduced from 50,000Nbz to just 5,000Nbz per chunk.
- You can now buy 3 separated areas without paying any separation fee at all.
- The lower pricing for separations now lasts for 10 separates compared to the 7 previously.
Land
- New chunk borders now have a torch every few blocks.
- New chunk borders now automatically clear the borders in other chunks you own for the connecting sides.
- Borders now ignore a number of extra blocks so they should no longer spawn on top of trees, etc.
- When a chunk is regenerating you can now stand inside it. Be aware of the blocks as they reset though!
- Adjusted the fireworks which shoot up when you buy a new chunk.
General
- Removed all teleport delay.
- Removed the horribly annoying warning preventing you from placing blocks against the edge of your land. The prevention with the message "You can't place blocks against land you don't have access to!" is no longer used, place blocks all you want against that land!
- Increased your Wilderness Builders limit up from 25 to 45!
- Increased your Wilderness Organisers limit from 25 to 45!
- Increased your Wilderness Friends limit up from just 6 all the way to 45!
- Added the ability to immediately/quickly run Wilderness commands simply by clicking on them from the [Wild] messages in the chat.
- Re-coloured and reworded a lot of the messages shown when you do things.
- Plus general minimal bug fixes.
As I said above, some videos of some of these features can be viewed at https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/msg87937/#msg87937), but to really experience how easy some things are now you're best of giving things a go.
As always if you notice any bugs please immediately let me know. Plus I am definitely open to feedback on these changes, the menus is a big change in how you do things on Noobstown so if you like or dislike it please let me know.
I hope you enjoy this change just in time for Christmas too! :D.
