Upgrades Configuration

The upgrades2.yml file contains the configuration for the Upgrades NPC.

note

For a list of materials, sounds, and potions, check the resources page

The default path is default-upgrades-settings. This is a list of content to be displayed in the GUI. default stands for arena group, so if your arena group doesn't have a custom <groupName>-upgrades-settings it will use the default one. You can use a category or an element in multiple upgrade menus.

When creating custom menus you should create the elements and then add them to the correct menu-content for the arena group you wish to change.

default-upgrades-settings:
  menu-content:
  - category-name1,1
  - upgrade-name1,2 #The integer after comma is the slot where to place the content in the Upgrades GUI.
  - separator-name1,5,6,7 #Multiple commas to put the element in multiple slots.
  # The first trap the team buys will have this price. (If the target trap haven't got a fixed price).
  trap-start-price: 2
  # Once a team buys a trap the trap-start-price will be incremented with this price. 2+2=4 next 4+2 etc.
  trap-increment-price: 2
  # Currency types: emerald, diamond, iron, gold, vault (for money)
  trap-currency: diamond
  # trap queue limit
  trap-queue-limit: 3

note

The following steps are also applicable to category-<name> (custom shop categories) and upgrade-<name> (custom upgrades). Make sure to follow the correct naming method. When creating arena group specific upgrades make you add them under menu-content within the newly created <name>-upgrade-settings configuration.

First of all make sure to read the example above. When creating a custom menu you can replace default with the name of your arena group
Create a new line in upgrades.yml and write <groupName>-upgrades-settings: where <groupName> is your arena group (example: solo, doubles).
Now add elements to your category like wrote above, under menu-content. It is best to copy paste the default settings and make changes as needed.
Finally, you select a slot to put the upgrade button in. This number is behind the menu-content item and seperated by , (comma).

Result:

solo-upgrades-settings:
  menu-content:
  - category-name1,10
  - category-name2,11
  - upgrade-name3,12
  # The first trap the team buys will have this price. (If the target trap haven't got a fixed price).
  trap-start-price: 2
  # Once a team buys a trap the trap-start-price will be incremented with this price. 2+2=4 next 4+2 etc.
  trap-increment-price: 2
  # Currency types: emerald, diamond, iron, gold, vault (for money)
  trap-currency: diamond
  # trap queue limit
  trap-queue-limit: 3

Upgrades Category

Category sections are identified with category-<name>. Example: category-enchant. It requires the following attributes:

category-example-1:
  # This is the category item in the menu.
  display-item:
    # This is the material type.
    # Check the links bellow for a list of materials.
    material: IRON_SWORD
    # Data is used for version 1.12 or older.
    # It is a number that usually indicates the item color.
    data: 0
    # The amount of stacked items.
    amount: 1
    # Set to true/ false to give the enchantment effect.
    enchanted: false
  # These are the elements displayed when you open this category.
  # You can only use upgrade and separator elements.
  category-content:
  - upgrade-name1,4 #Add a comma followed by a number to specify the slot where to put the element.
  - separator-name5,1,2,3 #Add multiple numbers separated by comma to put the element in multiple slots.
  

Upgrade Element

Upgrade elements are the most important as they define what an upgrade does. Upgrade sections are identified with upgrade-<name>. Example: upgrade-enchant-1. Within 1 upgrade path you can add multiple tiers, theirs can be added by adding a new element with tier-x and replacing x with the correct number. It requires the following attributes:

upgrade-enchant-1:
  # Even if your upgrade element does not have tiers, or better, it has a single tier
  # your options go under `tier-1`. For the next tier add a new line called `tier-2`
  # and so on.
  tier-1:
    # Display item is the item that represent this tier
    # in a menu or in a category.
    # Each tier has a display item.
    display-item:

      # Check the links bellow for a list of materials.

      # The amount of stacked items.
      amount: 1
      # Set to true/ false to give the enchantment effect.
