Inactive [TP] Wormhole X-Treme - Multi-World Capable Stargates v0.854 [766]

This is now inactive - http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tp-wormhole-x-treme-multi-world-capable-stargates-v1-011-953.23973/ is where you can find the currently active developed version.




Release v0.854 contains the fix to stop the IndexOutOfBoundsException that happens when 3d shapes have no light blocks. Also contains the fix for 2d gate iris levers (they get added properly again). The Wormhole X-Treme Worlds support is for a version of WXW that is still under development, expect things to break badly if you enable it without the proper version of WXW (0.5, which is not released as of yet).

If this is your first time downloading this please download the zip, it contains the database software we depend upon.
You are also encouraged to read the changelog and readme. Especially the readme.
Basic instruction for use and configuration can be found below.

Major Features:

• Player teleportation!
• Multi-world support
• Permissions integration (As well as some basic built-in permissions)
• Custom 3d & 2d gate shapes
• Iris password protection
• Minecart teleportation
• Help plugin integration

Donate to my coffee fund (It helps me code faster!)

When I first heard about bukkit I knew I wanted to write a plugin. As I always wanted a way to teleport around I thought it would be fun to write a mod that could do this. I thought writing one like the Stargates from Stargate would be cool.

So I decided I would make my own portal plugin as my first try at bukkit (and really first mod for Minecraft so far).

So here is my release of Wormhole X-Treme!

Changes 0.854

• Updated chunk (un)loading to happen when gate (de)activates and when dial lever state changes happen.
• Fixed iris levers not being added properly with 2d gates. (Oops, guess that code WAS needed)
• Fixed IndexOutOfBoundsException on 3d gate shapes without lighting blocks.
• Hamfisted fix for signs not updating. Now we nuke the sign and build it from scratch every time a gate sign is toggled. Causes a flash, but... who cares. It works EVERY time now.

Changes 0.853:

• Fix for /dial gates breaking when a user who doesn't have dialer permission hit the lever.
• Switched to getTypeId() from getType(), hopefully this works around the getType() == Air bug that might be lingering.

Changes 0.852:

• Added support for upcoming Permissions 3.0.x release.
• Fixed a NPE in 2d shape code dealing with light block positions.
• Added soft dependencies to plugin.yml.
• Minor log format changes for readability.

Changes 0.851:

• Complete revamp of how we handle permissions checks. Lots more case statements, lots less if/else if. Much better. This is what enums are for.
• Added new gate use cooldowns. This feature will only work on complex permissions enabled servers. There are three groups you can assign a player to; 'wormhole.cooldown.groupone', 'wormhole.cooldown.grouptwo', and 'wormhole.cooldown.groupthree'. If you have an '*' on any user/group, remember to '-wormhole.cooldown.groupone' etc. There is a new command to enable, disable, and modify cooldowns; 'wormhole cooldown [true|false|group] <time>', valid groups being 'one', 'two', and 'three', valid time being between 15 and 3600 seconds. There are also Settings.txt options for all of these new settings. Cooldowns are set when a player enters a stargate, not when they /dial. Cooldowns are removed via timer events, and even if the timer event fails, we do a fall back calculation when a player enters a stargate, and gets denied access.
• Added new gate build count restrictions. This feature will only work on complex permissions enabled servers. There are three groups you can assign a player to; 'wormhole.build.groupone', 'wormhole.build.grouptwo', and 'wormhole.build.groupthree'. If you have an '*' on any user/group, remember to '-wormhole.build.groupone' etc. There is a new command to enable, disable, and modify build count restrictions; 'wormhole restrict [true|false|group] <count>', valid groups being 'one', 'two', and 'three', valid count being between 1 and 200. There are also Settings.txt options for all of these new settings.
• Updated the stargate sign dial sign reset code to be more reliable at causing the client to notice update changes.
• Added a thrown exception during stargate 3d shape parsing if the shape doesn't have an exit point. We depend on this location for pretty much everything. If it isn't there, really bad bad bad things happen.
• Now we have more than just Standard as our default shape. We extract Standard, StandardSignDial, Minimal, and MinimalSignDial to the gateShape folder if it is missing shapes.
• Now we don't toggle stargate signs when we start.

Changes 0.850:

• iConomy support removed. I will not depend on plugins that decide to change their package name 5 major versions in and basically give everyone who depended on the package location the middle finger.
• 3d Gate shapes now implemented.
• Custom gate settings now in place (read: per gate material settings). This included the re-addition of the portalmaterial and irismaterial commands. lightmaterial, redstone, wooshdepth, and custom commands newly added.
• Massive internal overhaul, refactorings, cleanups, general goodness and bugfixes.
• Added support for Wormhole X-Treme Worlds. This allows Wormhole X-Treme to offload its chunk loading and world loading to WXW, for worlds that exist in WXW. Requires user to change Settings.txt option WORLDS_SUPPORT_ENABLED from false to true. This option requires Wormhole X-Treme Worlds v0.5 to be installed, and preferably configured for every existing world populated with stargates. If this option is set to true but WXW is not v0.5 (or not installed), WX will not load its stargates from its database.
• Removed many superfluous chunk load requests. Added graceful chunk unload queue when we are done with a chunk.
• Bumped supported version of permissions to include the 2.7 tree.
• Updated help text for new/modified commands.
• Added backwards compatibility, for those users who just don't want to upgrade to 3d shapes.
• Added loads of failsafe settings, for when users don't have any shapes installed, but have stargates already.
• wxidc now only works on non-sign powered gates which have iris activation blocks set.

Changes 0.833:

• Fixed iConomy double(or many many more) charging issue. Tried to do something awesome, turned out to be a bad idea. We'll revisit these kind of changes when 3d shapes are in and I can do some major refactoring and method merges/splits.
• Bumped supported version of permissions to include the 2.6 tree.
• Merged some of the sign click schedule related methods. Should make sign click messages more reliable.

Changes in v0.832:

• Fixed a NPE in new database initialization. Whoops, missing null-check, added.

Changes in v0.831:

• Fixed erroneous messages sent when a plugin is attached to already and WXT receives a plugin event for it. Cosmetic bug, fixed.

Changes in v0.830:

• Water now will not flow over Stargate anythings. No more broken levers and magic blocks of water floating in their place.
• Buckets now will no longer work with stargate anythings. No free water and lava.
• Minor optimizations and code cleanups.
• PORTAL_MATERIAL, IRIS_MATERIAL, STARGATE_MATERIAL, ACTIVE_MATERIAL are all part of gate shape now.
  • All configuration values associated with these are gone now.
  • Gate shapes without these default to
    • PORTAL_MATERIAL = STATIONARY_WATER
    • IRIS_MATERIAL = STONE
    • STARGATE_MATERIAL = OBSIDIAN
    • ACTIVE_MATERIAL = GLOWSTONE
• Updated default gate shapes that come in the zip to include these new values.
  • See gate shape files for more details
• Removed version 1 DB conversion because new design doesn't allow for it anymore.
  • For users this means if you are upgrading from version 0.3 or less to this version you will need to remake your gates.
• Fixed NPE in onPlayerInteract caused by event not reporting the block the interact event was associated with.
• Logic tweak in the find safe teleport code. Should be *safererer*
• Sign powered stargates now can only target other sign powered stargates.
• Fixed so that when coming from a lava portal stargate to a non-lava portal stargate fire damage is canceled still. No more nasty fire after a teleport.
• Added the logic back in to stop people from randomly teleporting when next to the lever of an active gate. The side effect is, when block.getType() fails, gates don't work. Its one or the other.
• Fixed /wxcomplete permission deny issue with stargates on public networks.
• Added ICONOMY_OWNER_EXEMPT option to Settings.txt with a default value of true. When true this option disables the charging of gate owners for using their own gates.

Changed in v0.821:

• Update version of iConomy we build against and test for.
• Fix NPE in old non-shape based gates.
• Added custom StargateTeleportEvent for MinecartMania as we nuke the minecarts before we teleport the player and put them back in the minecart.
• Refactored package to com.wormhole_xtreme.wormhole in anticipation of adding more stargate related projects.

Changed in v0.820:

• Initial support for CraftBukkit Build 600.
• Got rid of the stupid double error that people got by not reading the readme. Now when we parse settings.txt, if the value is integer for the iconomy settings, we change it to a double by simply dropping a .0 at the end of it. Problem solved.
• Lots of optimizations to the distance finding method we were using. Also fixes to the gate shape parsing code. (Thanks lirelent)
• Overhaul of the way we handle permissions internally. More unified approach to the actual permissions checks.
• Gate block protection should now be compatible with plugins like mcMMO. "Should" being the operating word.
• Levers now properly move when used and toggle on and off when stargate and iris are activated.
• All Permissions deny events now log at Level.FINE. Got permissions problems with WXT? Now see what is happening.
• Optimized fire protection. Now we use timer events that go off 2 seconds after gates close. This way we don't have to listen for fire type events 24/7.
• Fixed teleportation dropping people into very unsafe locations. Now we scan for safe place to drop people, if we can't find one we drop the player in front of the DHD. This will also FIX wormholes by setting the stored teleport location to the new clean and safe location.
• We now support using the help plugin along with WXT.
• We now have settings.txt options to hard disable support of iConomy, Permissions, and the help plugin. No longer do we log a warning when unable to find the plugin we depend on. We log at INFO.
• Buttons are no longer really used. If a button exists on a stargate, it will be replaced with a shiny new lever on the first use.
• Lava stargates are *really* safe to use now. For trees even. Not minecarts though.
• A whole host of debugging information has been added at Level.FINE. If you can trigger a bug reliably, set yourself to fine and provide the server.log details surrounding the bug. Not recommended for production servers as well... its exceissive.
• The '/wormhole regenerate' command is partially added. Will regenerate missing activation and iris levers.
• Minecarts work across chunks and worlds now! If you run into a location where it doesn't work, use the wormhole in both directions to correct the wormhole, then try again.

Changed in v0.812:
- /wxgo now works properly when traversing world bounderies. First we quickly pop into the default spawn location for the target world, then from there we go to our final destination. It is a hack, but it is a working hack.
- methodized the code to find closest stargates, and find distance from closest stargate blocks as well as the math to find distance.
- Updated block ignition events to only use proximity style checks. Block ignition event cancellation radius increased to active stargate woosh depth or 4 blocks, which ever is further.
- Updated '/wxcompass' to use new FindClosestStargate method.
- Updated onEntityDamage to use only proximity style checks. On active gates a bubble of no fire damage of either woosh_depth or 4 blocks, which ever is larger, is created. On closed gates a bubble of 2 blocks is created to stop fire ticks occuring right as a gate closes. Stopped caring about potential drowning in stargate. If user decides they want to stand in the wrong side of a gate till they drown, that is their choice.
- Re-added missing CONSTRUCT_NAME_TAKEN error string in ConfigManager. This stops an NPE in 'wxcomplete'.
- Added support for tkelly's Help plugin. Will generate proper config based on permissions type (simple or complex) or lack of permissions plugin altogether.
- Refactored the heck out of iConomy and Permissions support. Own classes in a new package to go along with the Help support. Methodized a bunch of useful functions. Less duplicated code.
- Added some log output for 'wxforce'. Should help combat abuse.
- Ops are now always able to use 'wxremove'.
- The '/wormhole simple' command now refreshes Help entries to the proper permissions after being set.

Changes in v0.811:
- Came up with a proximity based check for stargates in the lava & fire event
cancellation code. Now only 3 block radius around active lava portals
gets its lava & fire events cancelled. STATIONARY_LAVA is safe for players
to use in portals now. For reals.
- Version 4.5 of iConomy is now supported and verified as working.
- Now we actually check for Iris on gate use while in minecart...
- Back to the good ol kick the player out of the cart and stuff them through
the stargate method. Doing a bit of a hackish teleport when going between
worlds as well. We tp to spawn, then instantly to destination. This is only
when starting the tp while in minecart. If minecart is empty and passing
into a stargate that will traverse worlds, we kick the minecart back. Otherwise
it will dissapear into the void.
- Now we cancel block ignite events on a proximity basis, same way we cancel
fire and lava events on player. No more trees bursting into flames near a stargate.

Changes in v0.810:
- Broke '/wxcompass' out into its own class. Removed '/wormhole compass'.
- Broke '/wxcomplete' out into its own class. Removed '/wormhole complete'.
- Broke '/wxidc' out into its own class.
- Broke '/wxremove' out into its own class. Removed '/wormhole remove'. Fixed so it toggles iris to off state before removing gates with iris active.
- Broke '/wxlist' out into its own class. Added no permissions error message. Removed from '/wormhole' command.
- Added command '/wxgo' and broke it out into its own class. Added no permissions error message.Removed from '/wormhole' command.
- Broke '/dial' out into its own class.
- Broke '/wxbuild' out into its own class.
- Broke '/wormhole' out into its own class.
- Added another message for active gates. Now it will say either remote activated, or activated by someone else already.
- Added SIMPLE_PERMISSIONS config option. The default value of 'false' makes permissions node settings use complex mode. While the setting of true sets the plugin to check for extremely simplified permissions. Permission node details can be found in the README.
- Refactored the WXForce class to Force. Hopefully this shuts MSSE up. ^^;
- Moved a bunch of the initial loading out of onEnable and into onLoad. Now we use onEnable only for events that should only happen at plugin Enable.
- Updated '/wormhole' command to have more descriptive errors and built in help. Updated help information for this command as well. Command now has unified messaging string headers. Added new 'simple' option to enabling simple permissions while the game is live. Requires the user to have proper permissions node for configuration in target mode. Removed a bunch of duplicated permissions checks. Only one check is needed at beginning of command call now.
- Revamped readme to reflect important recent plugin package changes.
- Fire damage, combustion damage, and drown events now canceled in stargate. Now LAVA is really a valid portal material.
- Creeper explosions are now canceled when they would cause damage to stargates. This will stop signs and buttons from being destroyed during that mad dash to/from a stargate. ^^

Basic use instructions (open) Basic use instructions (close)

Basic Use:
First off you need to make a stargate. I you can see the design design below - you need the Gate, a Dial Home Device (DHD), and a stone button or lever facing away from the gate on the DHD. The purple blocks are Obsidian, and the Blue has to be air, but will turn to water when the gate is activated.


A real example of a constructed gate:


You MUST make the gate exactly as it is in the picture.

Once it is assembled hit the button ( You need to stand at least one block away from the button for the event to trigger. ) and the system will confirm that the stargate is properly made. If you don't see a "wormhole design valid" message you did not create the gate properly.
If you did see the message, you simply type /wormhole complete <name> to finish and name the gate. A name sign with the gates name should appear on the gate. You can optionally type /wxcomplete <name> <idc=[IDC]> (idc = iris deactivation code, or the code needed to use the gate) - this will make your gate password protected.

Now if you hit the button again it will "activate" the gate to be dialed.

To Dial (after hitting the button) you type "/dial <remote_gate_name>" and the gate will open and fill with water! (You can change the portal material by using /wormhole material) The gates currently don't by default timeout after dialing. If the remote gate has an iris code you will need to type "/dial <name> <idc>" to activate the remote gate.

Hitting the button again from the gate that dialed out will deactivate the gate. Pressing the button on a gate that has been dialed in to will do nothing because you can't activate a gate that is remotely activated. (Tried to keep it just like the show haha).

Name Sign Dialing (Public Gate System):

• NOTE: This is an alternate way to BUILD a gate. Currently existing gates will not work by simple placing a sign next to the activation button. You will need to /wormhole remove first and then re-complete the gate using this system.
• Place a second obsidian "pillar" next to the main DHD and place a sign on it. Put the name of the gate on the top line.
• Gates with this sign can only be dialed via the sign now. You will only see other gates that have a sign.
• Gate without a sign can dial IN to a sign gate.
• AGAIN : If you make a gate without a sign it will NOT be on the list of gates.
• To cycle through possible gates use right click - Sometimes it takes a click or two for it to work
• See here for sign dialer gate example:
• 
• Note - unless you have STARGATE_FULL_ACCESS or "wormhole.remove" you will be unable to destroy any blocks that are part of the gate.
• Networks!
  • If you put any text on the second line of the sign, it will be the "network" the gate is on.
  • You will only be able to dial other gates on the same network as you
  • Currently you cannot change the network, so make sure you type it correctly!
  • By default (if nothing is put on the second line) a gate will be part of the "Public" network.

Basic configuration settings (open) Basic configuration settings (close)

Configuration:

• All configuration is now stored in a file /plugins/WormholeXTreme/Settings.txt
  • All descriptions of the settings will be found in that file with the settings.
• You can change some options while the server is running:
  • /wormhole activate_timeout <optional_timeout>
    • This is the length of time after activating but before dialing that the gate deactivates.
    • This does not affect sign dialed gates.
  • /wormhole shutdown_timeout<optional_timeout>
    • Setting to 0 means portal only closes after something goes through, and then immediately closes.
    • This setting is how long after a player dials a gate before the gate shuts down.

my problem is with dial i have no problems. But with public i have som problems.
Ich get in the console some errors:

i hope it will be fixed

greets trivi

 

I 3rd the need for a direct downloadable link (and possibly 2 direct links, one to the zip, one to the jar)! It's a slight pain to have to login here first, then download a zip, then SFTP it over to the server, then unzip it, and then finally grab just the .jar to put in my plugins folder....

 

Ive still no Idea how to activatw these gates. I keep getting
"No gate activated to dial"
or
"Gate timed out and deactivated"

Not a single warp yet... If any one can help PLEASE msg me and ill give ya my server info.. This is driving me crazy.

 

Did you ever figure out the saving issue lolla

 

So for a new round, using Craftbukkit #211 AND Craftbukkit #238 and Wormhole 0.59 on both configurations I get the following issues:

• [IMPORTANT] Sometimes using the wormhole will lead to a time out and crash the server, rendering the wormhole plugin way to dangerous (for now I disabled wormhole.use for normal users ) - strangely some gates work always while other gates crash my server 9 of 10 times, just had the crasher-gate working but the next time I tried it (20 sec later or so^^) it crashed my server again xD
  
• Gates still got some issues with weird names, but for now its working most of the time, just had an issue once where it renamed my gate "Pantheon" into "----------Pantheon----------" but that happened only once and the issue with recreating gates whatsoever is FIXED indeed so far, thank you!
• [IMPORTANT] If you restart the server with a gate still open(filled with water) it will still be filled with water after the restart and cease function ...
• After Server Restart all DHD-Signs report "no other gates" until you rightclick them, not really that big of a deal, but still an issue
• [IMPORTANT] Sometimes the DHD wont respond, the sign will cycle and work, but rightclicking the button wont do anything at all until I restart server, this is happening on ALL gates at the same time after I built a new gate

so dont flame me if these errors are because of too old build(211) or too new build(238) but as they appear on both builds I dont think they are fixed on 231 - I could be wrong though

 

This plugin causes chunks not to be saved when I type /stop in the console.

 

Any chance this could be extended to support the nether gate design as well? I use the hmod stargate plugin on my server and have many gates that I would like to be able to still use when I switch to bukkit. I like the circular design
too, but it would be cool to be able to choose between either style.

Thanks

 

Some times my Wormholes look like this.. Any ideas?

 

This is a brilliant plugin concept that sticks to the Stargate series design. The only thing I don't like is having to type a console command to dial to another gate.

I acknowledge that there isn't an elegant way to create a DHD type device on which you can press combinations of buttons to activate the gate but that would be really cool. You would have to discover/remember the combination to get to your gates and it would fit perfectly with the Stargate theme.

 

will it eventually be possible to move the DHD to where ever you want, im trying to make replicate the Stargate Command Gate Room. Would be cool to put the dhd in the dialing room.

 

I get this error when removing a wormhole (using the command) and completing it again (same place).

Trying to shutdown a warp after activating it (by hitting the button) only results in a message saying "Gate remotely activated" even though the gate isn't connected to any other gates...

 

Here is the compass plugin that I made for this mod.
I've extended functionality a bit, so it's toggleable with "/sgc" and added a point-to-specific-gate command with "/sgc <name>".


I didn't use the 3d-distance formula though, since it's sligthly more demanding than the one I use, although a bit more precise =P.

 

Same issue here...

One thing to add is, when i connect working gates to the one, that isn't working is, that the working one doesn't shutdown (i can connect to other working gates, but it will teleport me to the not-working one).
Also restarting the server the working gates have Portal-Material inside and will teleport me to the not-working one.

Tried to rebuild the not working one, but this haven't fixed it =(

 

I did download the latest version of this plugin so it might be the last update of craftbukkit that did it...

So i guess i will just wait for the next update of this plugin then!

Thanks for the help, and this awesome plugin!

 

Will do - I will start linking the .zip on the github page or something. I suppose I could also just serve it from my home server.

Lets see, I will try to go point by point:

• Crashing is weird, the plugin used to do that for me when I had things in multiple threads, but once I set the shutdown_timeout to be 0 it stopped crashing. That is also why I now default to 0 seconds on the timeout in the plugin.
• If that happens its probably because the plugin thinks there is no gate, and you click the create button and it recreated it. This could have happened in bukkit .56, but should have stopped happening in 0.59
• I know the gate open will leave the water in the gate, but I have never seen an issue with using the gate after that. What do you mean it ceases to function?
• I know about the DHD's showing "no other gates" after a restart. I just fixed this in my code so that after the load I go through and in code 'click' each sign once.
• That is really really strange. Usually its the signs that seem to have trouble, not the button :-p - is there anything in the server logs when you click it and nothing happens?

I have also fixed the issue with chunks not saving on disabling of wormholes. New release sometime today

Maybe with iConomy support too haha

 

okay ive been using a timeout of 10 seconds, maybe that is the cause for the crashes? but if i set it to zero it will never close if some idiot leaves it open?

and for the cease function, after a restart when a gate was open it will be filled with water after the restart and it wont respond then to anything until I remove the water from the inside once, then itll work again

for the errors: none as of now :S

edit: timeout 0 seems to fix the error!

 

Great - glad the timeout 0 fixes the issue! The problem is that I can't change anything about the world (block types, etc) in another thread. I can't have a timer running without creating another thread, thus the problem.

If you really want the timeout to be something other than 0 - I have on possible idea. I could make it so that a gate could be redialed after X seconds, but the water would have to be left in the gate. While it would then look dumb, it would let you timeout and not crash the server.

What do you think of that?

 

well the basic problem is that I just want to be able to use all gates at all times and without a timeout they possibly COULD stay open which would result in them being unaccessable ... if you can do it so we can dial to already open gates that would be great(or just add static gates =)) and I dont mind having water in them at all times, right now I just want some way to travel far distances for my users without giving them warps home or sth, like near vanilla except for some wormholes

 

CB 231/238 no matter what I do cannot /dial out with the following error : "No gate activated to dial" then I keep getting the following every few seconds : "Gate timed out and deactivated"

 

What version of wormholes?

 

.59 is the one I downloaded.

Edit, I deleted the plugin i had and downloaded a fresh copy and uploaded it, and now it works perfectly, maybe the old upload didnt go smoothly or some such. thanx for the awesome plugin

 

All Hail Anubis!

Amazing idea, ill try it.

 

Just uploaded v0.60!! Lots of fixes, but most importantly ICONOMY SUPPORT!!!

 

awesome! updated to .60, it created the new settings.txt and i edited it and it loaded almost fine. only error im getting is :
Begin Loading WormholeXTreme Plugin.
Failed to load Permission Plugin. Defaulting to built-in permissions.
3 Wormholes loaded from DB.
WormholeXTreme v0.6 ready.

I definitely have permissions loaded and working so not sure why this error is showing up. Im using permissions 2.0 which was the latest as far as I saw.

 

Oh crap, copy/paste error. Actually that means you don't have iConomy installed. I will change that error message and reupload as 0.61

-Edit @ 3:42pm MST-
Uploaded fixed jar file

 

o ok awesome, as long as perms work the error means nothing to me, iconomy is broken as it is so I dont have it loaded

 

It's broken? I have it running on my server right now - at least it is able to remove money for using/building wormholes. I guess I didn't mess with it other than that....

 

has errors on player join, commands are sometimes iffy, and theres no updates or info from author so i have it set as 'whenever it gets fixed" plugin instead of waiting for it to be fixed before updating.

I now have uploaded the file to my github at https://github.com/downloads/lologarithm/Wormhole-X-Treme/WormholeXTreme.jar

 

Thank you very much! On all counts! This is going on my server.. right.. now!
