Better Start - Lets you set up how you want your users to spawn

Changing the starting spécifics is Nice ... But why remake an auto kit?

 

maybe he only edits whats already out there?

 

yes but what is the use exept making incompatibilities? and loose people ...
I mean some times you just want to make something better, but here he doesn't do anything new with the auto kits, actually he created an incompatibility with r-Zones & Arena, so it's worse ...
Why not make just a plugin for health, calories, hdration, etc, which was indeed not made so it's a good idea to do.
I just think that all in one plugins will just create incompatibilities and problems at some point like Oxmin, Essentials, and i don't remember the last one all in one plugin, back on legacy.

 

oxmin was useful when it comes to the basics of admining. but yes i a gree his plugin is kinda pointless

 

true i used it ... but then again it had godmode that i really didnt want as it made the server lag (so i removed it, no biggy)
but then the list of oxmin was too big as it had too much informations that we didnt need, had commands that i didnt want. And a lot of players were using the other 2 all in one plugins, so when we made a plugin we had to make them compatible with all 3 plugins (for commands, for data retrieve, etc ...)
If oxmin didnt have a data store, but a stand alone plugin had, (i actually made one at the end), where you could add the data that you wanted to it from all the plugins, then we would have got only 1 data file for 10 plugins with all the plugins adding the data they want, making everything less laggy all together. cause when you had 10data bases of more then 2-3mo that had to save at the same moment (player disconnection usually), well it made lags also, instead we could have got 1 file of 5-6 mo, making everything more smooth.
So yeah all in one plugins are nice on the paper, but in the end it fucks servers and plugin devs

ColonelAngus updated Better Start with a new update entry:

Added the ability to teach blueprints on spawn

 

but as it was to modify the configuration only

Code:

 "startingHealth": 100,
    "startingCalories": 1000,
    "startingHydration": 1000,

I'm not a programmer so I did not get modified, begin to change something pops up a lot of mistakes

Nice plugin!!! But i got a problem!

i use the following config:

Code:

{
  "Config": {
    "startingHealth": 100,
    "startingCalories": 400,
    "startingHydration": 1000,
    "startingItems": [
      {
        "name": "wear",
        "items": []
      },
      {
        "name": "belt",
        "items": [
          {
            "name": "stonehatchet",
            "amount": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "torch",
            "amount": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "Building Plan",
            "amount": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "Hunting Bow",
            "amount": 1
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "main",
        "items": [
          {
            "name": "bandage",
            "amount": 3
          },
          {
            "name": "Wooden Arrow",
            "amount": 10
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "startingBlueprints": []
  }
}

Every time the i spawn i only got a torch and stone hatchet!! No hunting bow, bulding plan, bandage and wooden arrow!!

It does more than just auto-kit, I also wasn't a fan of the way your config was structured. As i pointed out in a comment on your plugin.
[DOUBLEPOST=1424469796][/DOUBLEPOST]

The 200+ downloads would tend to disagree. You don't have to use it.

I didn't want kits on my server. And none of the health/metabolism plugins worked until after i released this and posted what the fix was.

Have you tried redownloading since then? Sorry, i didnt get a notification from this discussion.
