Devil's Island

I spent the last couple of evenings playing this mod on a few different servers. On more than one occasion, the Boss was offline, but sleeping in some huge fortress no-one was raiding. The whole point of this game mode is to help drive player interactions, but an offline Boss makes the whole thing pointless (everyone can just rebel to avoid the tax, and no worries about the Boss doing anything about it).

So, I've decided to change thing up a little bit. From 0.6.0, when the Boss disconnects, the job is up for grabs again (and will be auto assigned if needed). I know this kind of conflicts with the other aspects of game persistence, but I want to focus on making this work for the people who are currently online.

Next update will hopefully be tonight (15 Oct).

 

Nick Holmes updated Devil's Island with a new update entry:

0.6.0

 

Thanks for the updates, Quick qustion on #3

1. Boss is "unbossed" when he disconnects - Boss is always online. does this mean when you logout boss is up for /claim? if so i like the idea if its on a timer, as getting disconnected due to server lag or a dc etc would be pretty rough on the players and piss most people off.

 

Its directly up for /claim, but is planned that the next update there will be a delay (3 minutes, should do it).

 

/loot conflicts with betterloot command /loot - anyway around this?

 

Maybe you can use the Alias System plug-in to solve this? (Alias System for Rust Experimental | Oxide)

 

Plugin is like Soooooooooooo Good! 1000x Server, A Heli Call in is 250000 High Quality Metal for us, Rebels are already beginning to form

Have a couple of requests,

1. Would like the ability to put a cap on the TAX from the config?
2. Integration with Kits, If your a Rebel it would be great to have an additional rebel kit?
3. "/Henchmen" & Clan intergration, Clan members or elected henchmen aren't affected by the Tax's

Anyone want to check it out, Come to AUPVP!

 

Coming from someone with an avatar like yours, I'm probably more scared than flattered ;-). If you like it, please give me a "Like" on the main plug-in page.

1). I can move the Min and Max tax rates to the config file. Please note that if you allow tax to be 0% the game mode is undermined, and if you allow to go really high, you'll punish new spawns the most. Did you want to make the Max rate lower or higher than 45%?

2). Already in the backlog to have a "kit" for rebels. Probably wont use Kits per-se.

3a) Clan integration. Probably not.

3b) Henchmen. That's exactly what I am working on now. There will be three groups on the island; the plebs, the outlaws and the boss + his henchmen. The relationship between them is, more or less:

Plebs pay tax, but the boss needs to be looking after them, otherwise they start to rebel, and become outlaws. Plebs will get tools to help them know who they can trust.
Plucky plebs can help rebels (and benefit from it).
Plucky plebs can snitch on rebels (and benefit from it).
Outlaws avoid tax, but have the Boss + Henchmen after them. Outlaws will have their own chat channel, and more tools aimed at a kind of guerilla warfare. As the boss gets the helo strike, i think rebels will get some kind of access to signal flares (hence, the rebel kits).
Boss + henchmen get the tax revenues. The price of being a henchman is a small C4 charge planted in your head. When the boss is killed by another player, so do you (unless the henchmen kill the Boss...). The Boss + henchman also get a chat channel, and get tools to track rebels.

That's going to get added one feature at time. It will not be done over-night, but progress so far has been faster then expected.

 

@redone

To avoid this you should be able to change the word loot to bloot at line 175 of the plugin code. First unload both affected plugins (Devil's Island and Better Loot), edit Devil's Island and reload both. I successfully did similar to avoid conflict with the /rules command for notifier by changing the word rules to brules where the code defines the command.

[ChatCommand("loot")] to [ChatCommand("bloot")]

**Be sure to maintain all spacing and other code text.**

EDIT
Just realized in regards to changing rules to brules, also must edit line 854 to reflect this.

public const string Broadcast_HelpAdvice = "Confused? Type <color=lime>/rules</color> for help."; to public const string Broadcast_HelpAdvice = "Confused? Type <color=lime>/brules</color> for help.";

Do players need to be logged in to the Rust:IO map for this plugin to report their position in-game?

 

Helo players isn't working says cannot find matching name no matter what you try

 

Helo works for me. I think the your issue is that you have no rebels. Boss can only call a helo on a rebel.

Seems that the plugin maintains the taxing of player's gathering even when there is no Boss.

 

Bug is in the work queue (probably caused by sleepers).
[DOUBLEPOST=1445328665][/DOUBLEPOST]

No, Devil's Island uses a similar/compatible "A-Z 1-26" coordinate system as Rust:IO, that's all.
[DOUBLEPOST=1445328810][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes, by design. Tax is collected and will be paid to the next Boss, once he sets up his loot box. This is to provide some additional incentives to become the Boss (either to grab the loot, and/or lower a high tax rate).

The plug-ins are shipped as source code, and you are therefore free to change it anyway you like. But please be aware that I'm refactoring and adding to the code as I need, and putting out 2-3 updates a week. Name conflicts will ultimately be resolved by moving to GUI.

 

having an issue with tax loot box not collecting right xgather 10000 gather server and not getting right loot

 

Does not make sense to run this plugin when you have 10000x gather. You made stuff basically free, so who cares about taxes? I've been playing recently on a 250x server, and this already very much undermines the dilemma this plugin is trying to create.

I understand that some players want to play on servers that avoid grind, but this game mode is not aimed at them. I have something else in the works that these players will prefer.

 

I have loaded this on my server but it just refuses to work there are no commands or anything, am i doing something wrong thx for help

 

1. Do other plug-ins work?
2. Are there any errors reported on your rcon console (e.g. Rusty)?
3. Is there anything reported in the server log files?

 

Nick Holmes updated Devil's Island with a new update entry:

0.7.0

 

I'm loving the plugin! I've had some troubles with NPCs getting the boss status after they kill a player. Are there any plans in the future for this plugin to work with Human NPC, such as allowing/disallowing them to get the title?
