free bump cuz this is a good idea

Bump for u

Cruuk · Mar 20, 2016

Well this is new, a suggestion that has code to show that it can work, interesting.

It's a god idea, but it's pretty unrealistic. All of the ocean currents wouldn't be moving to and from selchar, you didn't take into account how the temperatures of the waters would affect were the currents go, look at a map of the currents in the Atlantic Ocean for example. To make the currents realistic you would also need a map of the ocean floor.

In Wynn the ocean floor is flat.

yes, it's unrealistic. disregard the magic, ability to summon meteors and vanish into thin air, and the MAGIC POWERED ROBOT, this game is all about realism.

Hello Wynncraftians!
In my opinion this idea can improve a lot the server
so read carefully!
:saltedhappy:

--)Ocean Currents(--

General Information:
What are they?
An Ocean current is a continuous, directed and superficial movement of sea water.

What utilities will they have?

When you have to go to the Mage Island, when you have to travel to the Dead Island, or just you have to go to Selchar adn you don't have any TP scrolls, is always a bit tedious to travel. So, what basically will they do is to make you travel faster! The mechanics will be more complicated of course.

Explaining The Mechanics:
Map Distribution:
View attachment 60771
Directions:
Every Current will have a specific direction. For example, if you want to go to Nemract to Selchar, you will have to catch the blue current. Going against the current direction will give you Slowness 4, so you will practically not move. On the other hand, going at the same direction of the current, will give you instead a huge speed bonus.
Cold and Hot Currents:
You can see that there are 2 types of Currents: Hot and Cold ones. Cold currents go slower than hot ones, but they are used for traveling, as you can see in the image (50%+ speed). Hot ones, however, are used for returning or exploring (Example: Mage Island-Half Moon Island- Durums Island), but they go FASTER (100%+).

The Code:
Yea, the code for doing this is done, so now we can perfectly tell that this is possible! Everything on this code section was written by @Ironraptor3 , he did an awesome job! ^^

Code:

public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    //And obviously, anyone with an interest in making plugins can always talk to me if you want help
    public static Plugin plugin;
    World w = null;
    public static final double speed = .3; //again, changeable, or able to be stored in another class and altered
    //Testing speed at 1 was pretty violent when opposing the current

    //Add a config file to save current info in between sessions, too lazy to do that for just an example

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;

                for (Entity e : w.getEntities()) {
                    if (e instanceof Boat) {
                        Boat b = (Boat) e;
                        if (removing.containsKey(b)) {

                            else if (System.currentTimeMillis() - removing.get(b) >= 10*1000) {
                                removing.remove(b);//boats despawn within 10 seconds of being placed
                                b.remove();
                            }

                                removing.put(b, System.currentTimeMillis());
                                continue;
                            }
                            /* You can make a separate stream class, adding equations for their shape,
                             * dimensions, bounds, etc.  Its simpy an example, however, and if I

The principal objective if this idea is to make ocean adventures funnier. With this, you will have to plan a bit your route, not only breaking your finger with the W key.
Each current will have a name, just like "Great Wynn Current" or "Dead Current".

Edit 1: Currents no longer force you to go to it's direction.
Edit 2: We have the code for doing this now :P
Edit 3: Improved Code pages. Last 3
Edit 4: WATER PUSH YOU AGAIN! No lag involved

THE GAME
Can you find the missing island? :D

Thanks for reading!
Hope you have liked my idea and
remember to leave some feedback below!

Holy shit.
First of all this would be INSANELY COOL. I don't know any other video game that takes this into account.
I have seen well explained suggestions, even extremely detailed suggestions, just never a suggestion that codes itself.
Ok. This would be great ingame, but I think it would be a lot of work for such a minor detail, the team would never add this. There are tons of things the team would love to implement but cant bc it takes a lot of time. Even If they liked this, they would probably not devote any time towards adding this.
But honestly, I really want this. Small features that improve gameplay like this are super important towards making a good game, and I don't think Wynn has enough of these cool, small features.

Tl;Dr: Love the concept, but don't think the team would add it. I support though.
Also Rip Tree Island, feels left out on the currents. :(
BTW update supporter count in title.
