MapTowny v2.0.0-BETA-1

New Year, New Name

It's only been a few months since the plugin was officially released, and there's already a major version change and a new name. This is due to the original Pl3xMap being archived/abandoned and new forks popping up to replace it. Some of these forks are not called Pl3xMap so supporting them and keeping the plugin called Pl3xMap-Towny could've led in some confusion for users of those forks.

Hence, to account for these changes, the plugin has been renamed to MapTowny. Commands and permissions have been renamed appropriately as well. Make sure to update permissions to have maptowny now.

One for All

In building support for these forks, the plugin was also abstracted out enough to support various web-map plugins, not just Pl3xMap based. What this means is that MapTowny has the potential to combine a lot of specific Towny web-map addons and maintain them under a single plugin. To show this, support has already been implemented for dynmap as well.

Supported Plugins

Support has been added for Pl3xMap, squaremap, and dynmap. Please see the README for links to these plugins.

Dynmap Functionality

Pl3xMap supports a concept called negative space which the plugin uses to show holes where unclaimed plots are when surrounded by claimed plots. Dynmap has no concept of negative space which means that if unclaimed plots are surrounded by claimed plots, then those unclaimed plots may show up as claimed by the town on the web-map.

Dynmap also only supports PNG images for icons, so using any other image type for icons may cause errors.

Warning: This build has not been tested on production servers, so please report any issues on the Github Issue tracker.

Pl3xMap-Towny v1.0.0 Release

The first official release of Pl3xMap-Towny!

It has been almost 5 months since the alpha builds of Pl3xMap-Towny were released. Since then, the issues that have been reported have either been very minor bugs or feature requests. The plugin was in the alpha stage to monitor for any map-breaking bugs, and none were really found which is a very good thing.

I have decided to entirely forgo beta testing because of the above and also because I know a lot of server owners are already using this plugin in production. I don't expect there to be any surprises or new bugs with the official release as most of it has been feature additions and minor changes; there was no rewrite of core mechanics between this build and the alpha builds.

Furthermore you may have noticed the github repo for Pl3xMap-Towny has been moved under the official TownyAdvanced github organization. Hopefully that makes it easier for people to find the plugin and centralizes development on it as well, allowing other Towny developers to contribute to the plugin if they want to. For the foreseeable future, I will still be the primary maintainer of the plugin, but as always I welcome and encourage helpful pull-requests.

Change Log (Changes since Alpha Build 3):

• Add configuration options use-town-color-fill and use-town-color-stroke to allow town colors (changeable via /t set mapcolor in-game) to be displayed as the fill color or stroke color for a claim (#11). These options are disabled by default to maintain the same behavior as previous builds. As newly noted in the config, these options will take priority over nation colors if those options are enabled. A good recommendation would be to have both the nation color options enabled, and also enable the town fill color resulting in the claim being the town color if a town color is present or falling back to the nation color if no town color is present.
• Fix displaying members with a specific town rank (#13).
• Fix some claim shapes wrongly generating negative space.
• Bump up required Towny version to 0.97.1.0 in order to use town map colors.

Minor Note: Due to a Pl3xMap mechanic determining when to update markers, towns that change their nation or town color won't be able to see the color change on the map until they have made a change to their claim (either claiming or unclaiming a townblock).
