Automatic Limited Creative

[Daisy 9735]

 

Hey Denizens of Axios!

 

Today the Development Team is happy to announce some changes to the way Limited Creative works.

 

Here are the changes that will affect you:

• You no longer need to make a mod request to go into creative mode, or add builders to your region. The player who purchases creative mode will be able to add players to the region, and Limited Creative will automatically put players in and out of creative mode when they enter/exit the region.
• The region will no longer be entry/exit locked. Players who are not on the region will still be able to enter and use the region for roleplay, but will be unable to build and will not get creative mode.
• Payments can be made easily by typing /lcpay. This will prompt you to enter the name of the region, and the amount you would like to pay off. Once the region is paid off and the time is expired, it will be automatically removed. 
  • Note: If payment is not received within 48 hours of the the expiry date, you region will be locked by the plugin until the balance is received.
• We have added an automated process for our GMs to set it up - this will get your regions made faster!
• The costing formula has been changed. Regions are no logner expanded vertically from bedrock to sky limit, and instead follow this math:
  • cost = volume/100, being at least 2500 mina (minimum has not changed)
  • With a minimum of 2500, this costs out the region by dividing the volume by 100, so regions with a height of 100 will cost the same as before, while regions from bedrock-sky limit will be 2.5x as expensive, and a region 50 blocks high will be 1/2 as expensive as before, etc.

 

So, here is the new process: 

• Make a mod request requesting the region to be made, along with what the region will be called (ex. Oren Capital). Have two corners marked out ahead of time, taking into account height.
• A GM will setup your region, and you will be automatically added as owner. You will get a notification when this occurs.
• Add your builders to the region with /rg addmember <name> and start building!
• Pay off your region all at once or via installments with /lcpay, anyone can pay your bill, not just the creator.
• When the region expires, make sure to pay it off within 48 hours! It will be automatically removed.
• If you want a region removed early, message a GM after you have paid it off, and they will remove it.
• Feel free to RP in the area while its under construction.

 

Let me know what you think of the changes! Hope you like them!

oh so charging tens of thousands of minas wasn't enough and now you want to charge including by height? Lol.

In most cases it will be the same or less - it can save you money.

I love it- thank you Kowaman.

 

This will make LC about a million times easier and probably more affordable.

It was already so cheap, now it can be even more cheaper if your buildings are shorter than 50 blocks

 

Wonderful update Kowa!

[Askuzai 505]

I think this is a pretty good update man. I hated getting stuck on LC borders. Or people preventing me from following them by walking into an LC zone that I didnt have access to.

 

edit: Also should help out those who want to LC small building makeovers in cities.

what are you on LC is the cheapest thing ever and still is :)

So there's no plan to like, phase out LC, or at least limit its destructive usage as a means to raise sprawling metropolises out of the steppe? 

 

This is a pretty cool plugin, though.

Not sure, that's a question for the GM team - I just coded what was asked for :)
