This plugin tries to make player communication more realistic by making it harder to read chat as players become farther from each other. It does this by removing or replacing a number of characters in the original chat message depending on the level of entropy between the players. Entropy is calculated by considering these 3 parameters:
Keep in mind that the chat message that you receive is what you hear, not what is sent.
- Distance
- Are players in line of sight?
- Direction in which player faces, i.e if sender looks at intended receiver there will be less entropy
Installation
Simply put the .jar file in the plugin folder and run the server. A folder with the configuration file config.yml should be generated. Follow the comments in this file if you would like to make changes to the default configuration.
Commands
- /ac reload - Use this to reload the configuration file in case you make any changes while the server is running
- /ac noise <entropy> <text>, where entropy is between 0 and 1
