Reality Shield-Considered great idea by all, but needs experienced Dev...

    Plugin Category: ADMN

    Plugin Name: Reality Shield (though this is really up to the Dev)

    A Bit about me: Admin of a small private server with an interest in programming. Fairly complete knowledge of Flash and currently learning Java so that I might make my ideas instead of asking others to make them for me :p

    What I want: This is really hard to explain typing, but I'll do my best. It's a system for creating secret areas only accesible to people who have said the password ( a command). Lets say you used this plugin to create a secret base on a largely undeveloped tract of land. The base itself has been surrounded by the "reality shield", probably selected using worldedit. if a person who has not said the password walks through the shielded space, then it looks as if it were an undeveloped piece of land straight from the seed. but if a person types the proper command close to the area, then the "reality shield" door will open and the base will appear. once they enter the shielded area they, along with the hidden base, are once again hidden from the world.
    This could be incredibly useful for a myriad of reasons, but I'm guessing it'd be a bit tricky to develop. it would be great if the shield had 2 states: what people without the password see/experience and what people with it see. For example, a person with the password might be able to visit an island in the ocean, while the rest of the people would just see the same continuing ocean minus the island.

    Possible commands: /Rshield area select (using worldedit), /Rsheild create hidden,(to create the hidden area), /Rshield create normal (to create what people without the password see), /Rshiled open <shieldname> (to open the shield so you can enter).

    Possible permissions: RealityShield.create

    Thanks a bunch for reading!

    That's a pretty interesting idea. I don't know if it's possible, though... I can't think of a specific reason why, but... Well, I don't know :p I guess I think this would have been created if it was possible...

    Hopefully it is possible! Seems really cool.

    some people have been telling me to use falsebook/craftbook's toggleable areas thing for this. That's not quite what I meant... I want both areas to exist at once, just which one you are actually in depends on if you typed the command or not.

    It seams like you could do this with 2 identical worlds, and teleport one person to the world with the structure when they type the command. I am not skilled enough to develop this, but TnT or codename_B might be

    You might be able to do this in the same way Orebfuscator/etc works, by changing what the client is sent. In your case it would be easier since you wouldn't have to "guess" when to send the ores/etc, you could just check if they are allowed to see the real thing and if not send the fake area.

    Could be fun, I'll take a look at orebfuscator's code and see what could be done.

    It seems this is very possible, and since my fiancee is a huge Doctor Who & MC fan she would love to see a chameleon circuit.

    I'll let you know once I have something ready to test.

    As an update, I have a beta of sorts written up.

    It works, but it's a little buggy (occasionally shows the area when it shouldn't), needs optimizing, and has some kinks to work out.

    Specifically when a player stands on a block that doesn't exist he's occasionally kicked for flying, and when he tries to stand on air/water that is not air/water, he glitches out bouncing up and down.

    If I can get it to be stable enough, yeah, I release most of my plugins.

    sounds as if I stumbled upon a rather cool idea. finally, a plugin request that actually gets made into a neat plugin. *sigh of contentment*

    Hey either Dev who said they were working on this... what happened? it appears to have died... there was lots of enthusiasm for the idea, so it'd be nice if it actually got made. thanks!

    thank you, please do.
    i've messaged Ne0n repeatedly, no replies there. as far as the other guy, he said he was gonna send me something "sunday", but failed to specify WHICH sunday XD. i'm sure he'll give me something on some Sunday someday in the future...

    a try is all I need. a good place to start would be the source code of Orebfuscator Anti-Xray
