YOU NEED TO USE THE DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
What is Spoutcraft?
Well Spoutcraft is a Minecraft client that allows connection to Spout. Spout is a framework to bridge the single player mods and multiplayer plugins. And if you don't quite understand that.. Read on!
What can it do?
The one thing Minecraft Multiplayer plugins had difficulty doing before Spout was released was changing the aesthetics of Minecraft. With Spout installed on the server Administrators have the ability to expand Inventories beyond the usual limit, change everyone's skins VISIBLY for everyone on the server, add music for zones, faction capes and tags along with player targeting, named pets and party frames. Yes it's all possible with Spout.
Giz' a look eh?
This is the SpoutCraft launcher. Once you've clicked log in this client will automatically download any Minecraft updates and Spout updates. You get a tidy view of your character and I believe it supports more than one account so you can line them up!
And this is the server selection screen. You can save your favourite servers FINALLY! and there is also a Public Server List for you to browse through! (Not that you need it, Aggression!)
This is me with a green faction cape on. Anyone in my faction will have a green cape one. And Ariachred with a white one on, because hes in a neutral faction. We can also see Ariachred's Faction name, his rank in that faction and his server rank!
Alright! Tidy! Giz' a bash eh?
If you want to try SpoutCraft then you can download it [HERE]. If you wish to test the Dev version for whatever reason (like me) then on the main screen simple select the option panel and tick 'Use latest Dev build'.;
You didn't show me enough!
Unfortunately the only Spout support we have at the moment is factions. But below i'll show you a couple of the possibilities with Spout.
This is SpoutCraft and McMMO in harmony. As you can see there is an experience bar as you are completing a skill as well as a health bar for you group.
This is a look at some different party frames. As you can see Group members are on the left hand side of the screen along with the players wolfs at the top. All of these bars are configurable in position.
This image shows an expanded Inventory. This is going to be rolled out onto our server with the benefits assigned to various parties most of which will be the Donators.
We can also allow a workbench in players inventory as well.
The last thing I want to show you, because it is extra amazing...
These two images show two people trading. Zero risk of stealing and I expect iConomy support is on it's way.
Is Aggression going to get these features?!
Yes, some of them.
Can I see these without SpoutCraft?
No, unfortunately not.
Do I need SpoutCraft to play Aggression now?
We aren't planning on forcing SpoutCraft on users but we'll give benefits to those who do use it.
You'd be stupid not to.
Wait a minute.. SpoutCraft is a different client. Can I mod it?
No. You can't mod it.
The only thing you can do to SpoutCraft is add Texture packs. The way it should be.
