Request of PureEntitiesX being re-revived

Request to add a plugin on Poggit Release

I am writing to request that an old plugin be added onto Poggit Release. Details are as follows: Please add the PureEntities plugin to a poggit release and update to newest version of API. It really breaks the game to not have mobs.

Plugin Name

PureEntitiesX

Link to GitHub repo

https://github.com/RevivalPMMP/PureEntitiesX

Link to PocketMine Forums release

Is it in the pre-Alpha_1.4 format?

No, it's not.

Does the plugin work in the latest PocketMine version?

Nope...

Does the plugin depend on other plugins? Are they released on Poggit?

No.

Are the main authors still active?

Probably not.

@Sandertv According to the auto-detected author list, you were a main collaborator of the repo. Any opinions?

[Sandertv]

I started it as a fun project with @Magicode1, but it got so many contributions that I didn't need to help anymore and Magicode left, so I'm not really in the mind to work on it again. @jasonwynn10 is also working on it, perhaps ask him.

[jasonw4331]

The main developer @kniffo80 has left the scene, so continuing work has been hard due to the fact that we, the other developers, don't know what he was planning to do with it. Feel free to take on the job, but I believe it would be easier to start from scratch and just put entities into PocketMine itself.

[SOF3]

So nobody from PureEntitiesX wants to continue the work anyway?

[jasonw4331]

I've attempted it a few times, but AI isn't my strong suit

[PermissionError]

:-) looks like the project has some hope!

It would be easier if https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/7d3fca83f090f181bb1096e59fa48b59b987f5df/src/pocketmine/tile/Spawnable.php#L80 wasn't final. @SOF3 if nobody is doing anything with it, should we add it to poggit-orphanage?

[Awzaw]

You can test it out here. Should this be released by Poggit-Orphanage, or PR'd to the RevivalPMMP repo?

O.M.G. You people are awesome.

Well, looks like pmmp's not happy with it

Sorry guys for giving you more trouble by requesting a plugin. I personally have no knowledge in php programming so I can do nothing to help you, even though I really want to. TO-DO LIST: Start on php

[jasonw4331]

@kniffo80 decided he wanted the plugin to support multiple PocketMine versions, so multiple versions were taken into account for various things. Much of the plugin works, but your console will definitely be spammed with errors by the time your decide to turn off your server 😋

[PermissionError]

No, the plugin doesn't even work. It won't enable itself on API 3.0.0 ALPHA 7 @jasonwynn10

[PermissionError]

BTW everyone that work at orphan, you need to update the description for ItemCase on poggit to support API 3.0.0 ALPHA7, or people that don't read plugin.yml will just skip the plugin and miss the goods.

[PermissionError]

Guys I fixed it, being the noob at php I am, went into every file and deleted the int declare infront of $currentTick and $tickDiff, fixed. Tested. Mobs do stray around endlessly but hey, they WORK!

[PermissionError]

Did a poggit repo here

[Sandertv]

That int type hint should be there for the latest PocketMine version.

[PermissionError]

Weird thing is, it doesn't work for latest PMMP

[jasonw4331]

@TBNRShadowDev If it only works without the typehints, then you aren't using pmmp's latest version

[PermissionError]

Isn’t ALPHA7 the latest???

[Awzaw]

Works for me, what exact version are you using? ALPHA7 is liable to change, and break everything, at any time... and there are two branches on Poggit, one for latest master branch, another for mcpe1.2 branch.

[Awzaw]

I've merged damage-reduction, and updated for the latest breaking changes on alpha7 (master branch for MCPE 1.1). Let me know if you still have problems, and please bear in mind that alpha7 is not yet tagged, so I may have to update again tomorrow for the next version of alpha7, which may break backward compatibility again...

[PermissionError]

Guys I'm sincerely sorry about my stupidity. I downloaded the latest build from poggit and it worked. Sorry Guys!

due to the plugin on the (semi)-original repo now being under active development again, this can be closed until further notice
