The Golden Egg 1.9.23

Hey there !
I wanted to ask something before buying this plugin, is it possible that when the egg is in a box and therefor makes loot that a Zone configurable zone pops ?
My aim is that add that on a PVE Server but when someone has this egg in his base it would make it raidable basically

Is it possible to spawn the egg with a custom skin?

Hi there, I’m not actually sure! The egg is already an in-game item (it’s just only used at Easter), so I doubt it had any default skins, but I’ll have a play with it for sure. 
 

I don’t see why not though, if a skin exists for it (doesn’t look like there’s any currently out there at the moment)

I know it's possible to skin a item with a workshop skin Id. Bonus if one cold rename the item in the config. The idea being to make it into a "Talisman" that the player could then place in container for gain or crack. So I'd be trying to use a workshop item like this : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846996617 to apply to the item. Just ways to add one's own flavour to the hunt.

Yep good idea. Can definitely add a config option to add a custom item name (though you’d probably also have to make your own custom image that pops up when they find it (see the screenshots), or worse case I could add an option to disable that and just have a chat message to the player). 
I’ll play around today with the skins. 

Man, this is such a great idea for a plugin! Bravo for thinking outside of the box!

I have a couple questions...

1:)  Is there a way to put a max time that the egg can be "alive". It would be great to be able to set it for a max of 72 hours a player can hold onto the egg without cracking it open. The egg would then just disappear after the 75 hr timer and can be looted in crates again. Idk if that's even possible to implement though. 

2:) You may not be able to test this one.... but I've had issues with some plugins that insert items into crates while also using the AlphaLoot plugin. AlphaLoot will sometimes prevent what other plugins are trying to populate into crates in favor of it's settings for the crates. It's hit or miss which plugins conflict though, I have another plugin that inserts items into crates on top of AlphaLoots without an issue, while other plugins i couldn't use with AlphaLoot loaded.

Also the ability to add a custom skins (really just a custom icon via a skin ID) for the egg, as mentioned by others, would be great as many plugins are allowing this now-a-days.

Hey there, thanks!

1. Should be, yep. I'm going to be adding some things soon to help with competitions and the like, I'll see if I can slip this in as well

2. This one shouldn't be a problem, as I'm not really adding the egg to crates, I'm just spawning it in if the RNG roles an appropriate number each time you open one (gets around problems with other loot plugins)

I'm currently experimenting with being able to change the skin, but unfortunately it looks like the egg prefab just isn't skinnable at all. I'm considering adding an option to use a different item if I can find an appropriate (it has to have certain criteria though so it's tricky) that people can use just to add a skin to. Hopefully I can find one as I agree it would be nice to be able to customize it like that.

Glad to hear about it being inserted via RNG when a crate is opened, that should prevent the conflict with AlphaLoot for sure!

As far as the egg not being skinable, you should be able to apply a skin to the shortname that the egg is associated with.  I have another plugin that is able to do it. in that plugins config i have this setting:

 

      "Item shortname": "rustige_egg_c",
      "Award Display Name": "Furnace Upgrades Voucher",
      "Item quantity": 1,
      "Item skin": 2714802680,

It doesn't actually skin the egg, it just changes the the icon for the egg to the skin ID which is this:  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2714802680

I'm not going to pretend to know how the developer of that plugin does it lol, but it's definitely possible. 

I bought the plugin regardless. It just sounds too cool as is to pass up  Looking forward to seeing how you evolve it over time!

That's actually a different item, however it might suit for our purpose anyway, I'll have a play with it for sure!

I've just added this in with version 1.4.1

I know, still haven't actually bought this plugin, which I want to, just too broke right now. But can't stop my brain working at it.  Suggestion : Can this item carry a Zone around with it? It would need to work with the variations of TruePVE, so the item can carry around a "exclude" zone with it. This would make the player holding the item excepted from PVE rules and therefore killlable. It would also render his base protection null.

It's just an idea, but it would open the practical use of this plugin to PvE servers.

Haha, funny you should mention that! Someone else suggested this and I think I've just got it working today. I've sent it to him to test, all going well I'll push the update soon

Cool! Specifically to work with TruePVE?

Yep (only TruePVE though I think, though if there are other similar plugins I can take a look). Basically TruePVE has an api that lets you check, and negate/enable damage. So it doesn’t need a zone at all (other than me needing to check if the egg is in the base or player being attacked)

I have a question about this behavior.

If we're just making the base raidable and the server is PVE, doesn't this just mean they get raided but can't kill the players raiding them without making their base a pvp zone?

Hi
No it does allow pvp between players as well as I'm enabling damage within a radius of the egg (so I suppose I'm creating my own zone really)

This plugin is a lot of fun, but would benefit from more support for other plugins such as backpack (blacklist from backpacks) and prevent looting (On a pve server the player can be killed but they can't be looted.. Other than that, the players love the excitement around it

Hey there, happy to look into those if you want to hit me up on discord. I don’t use those plugins so just need a bit more info

If it's any help, you can blacklist the item from being stored in backpacks from within the config file for Backpacks. Like so:

  "Blacklisted Items (Item Shortnames)": [
    "autoturret",
    "lmg.m249",
    "easter.goldegg"

Just need to add easter.goldegg to the list of blacklisted items

Thanks. That's exactly how I have managed the backpack thing

Maybe would be nice to add more perks like no fall damage, metabolism, grant kits etc..

Dose this plugin work on carbon?
