Hey um well ive got Groupmanger and i want the Defaults not to be able to go through the teleporters how can i do that in the permissions it doesnt show in any groups - worldportal.use so ya how can i do it ?

 

Do you mean you arre not able to setup the permission node only for some special groups? Or do you mean it fdoesn't work for some reason? Do you see any message in the console that a permisions system is not found, or do you see any message in the console that the plugin hooked into groupmanager? Or do you have two systems installed?

 

it says [INFO] [World Portal] No Permissions system found! Permissions disabled!

 

Hmm, it doesn't protect your permissions system then. What permissions system are you using? Group manager from essentials or the orriginal group manager?

 

Hi

thnx but if people go in the 2th world (with worldportal) en they die they respawn in the 1st world how to fix it?

 

There's currently no 'fix' for this. This is like normal. When I remember it by that time I'll add an optional feature to disable this in the upcomming version

 

i hope so >D

 

I am running Group manger from essentials also when i launch my server (has nothing to do with world portal) it says ram used 256 MORE RAM NEEDED how do i add more ram i edit the run.bat to 1024M but it still says 256M MORE RAM NEEDED Any help?

 

Yes, sure this is an example code for running a server with 1GB ram;

Code:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Starting Minecraft Server with 1GB RAM
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="64" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit.jar"
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="86"  java -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit.jar"

Save it as a .bat (or .cmd) ofcource. And don't forget to rename your craftbukkit.jar file to craftbukkit.jar. Or change the craftbukkit.jar file name inside the .bat code.

 

Hey,
first of all great plugin!!!

Im quite new with server so ive installed an portal and i want all players be able to use them but i have no idea how to set permissions for that can someone help me?

 

I just put on my server, IT'S PERFECT!!!
it has barely any commands (just what i like)
i REALLY wanted one that lets you make other worlds. One Of My fav plugins =DDD
Diamond For you =)

 

every time a user teleports, he has to login with his password again -.-
what's wrong?

 

Thanks, about the permissions system. I suggest to use Permissions Ex (also called Permissions Extra or PEX), this is a great permissions system! You'll find more information about how to set it up on it's pages, World Portal easily support's PEX, when you have PEX installed it will automaticly detect it, I also suggest to watch some tutorial video's on youtube for example.

Thanks a lot, I hope I'm finished with the new vesrion soon.

Thats a problem in your login plugin, but I'll try to fix this problem inside World Portal itself to force the player to be logged in, could you tell me the name of the plugin, or just the link to it's pages.

Hi there!
I've been useing World Portal for awhile now and it seems then when i start my server up and i join the game i end up some funny places, however if the world is loaded before entering the game it works just fine.
Just wanted to know if you where planing on adding a auto load world feature so that wouldn't happen?
Anyways thanks for a great plugin!
- Alex / Phoenix901

 

And also, can you make a map type for when you create a warp to a new world?
i would love it if you could make one with options in the normal world with superflat or not one block in the map, sort of like skyblock survival with not one block at all on the map.
I owlud appreciate it SOO much if you could do it

 

At first i must apologize for my lack of english language, but i'm trying to do my best ^^

This Plugin is a good one with really nice ideas, but i got some Problems with it and i have some suggestions/ideas:

At first The Problems:
- I have a problem using pressure plate-portals while being in creative mode, it teleports me to the aimed place, but forces me to retype my password again! We are using "authme" and it would be nice if it would work together. In Survival Mode it seems to be fine though.

- Another Problem is the facing direction after the teleport - I dunno why, but somehow it doesn't Work if u are teleporting to the same map you have teleportet from. It faces the direction, where u looked last or sometimes it is even facing a random direction

- The last Problem is the creation of a new world. If that wasn't wanted, you somehow just simply can't delete it with the multiverse-plugin... It even doesnt know about its existence.

Next a couple of suggestions/ideas:
- If you type /wp create and rightclicked a button/lever/etc. - at first i wonder why u chose to just type it into the chat
I got numerous times where it failed (even created Worlds which couldnt be removed easily due to the lack of multiverse support - which isnt your fault ) because i or one of my helpers was just answering someones question...
I wonder if u cant do it like that: you type "/wp create" -> rightclick on the block -> go to the place you want to be teleportet to, place yourself the way u want to be teleportet (with facing etc.) -> and just type "/wp target here" and it creates the Portal automatically with the worldname/positioning and facing? This would do it much easier to handle.
You could also add further commands like "/wp target x,y,z 180" or "/wp target spawn 90" (which teleports you to spawn and face u to 90°) and so on if you want to do it manually. Another Idea is that the facing direction without a given degreenumber ("/wp target x,y,z" or "/wp target spawn") depends on where u looked at before teleporting.
If it should be able to create another world you could just add another Command for it.
I dunno how much work it would be to implement, but i would really appreciate it
!It would be AWESOME!

- In Addition to the first Idea, it would be nice if you could name your Gates to extract the target of it like:
"/wp create Name_of_Portal" and then define your target.
Now if you are creating another portal with the same target of an existing Portal you could use "/wp target existing Name_of_Portal" and let it use the target of that portal which is useful if you got more than one portal to get to the same place. A useful addition to that could be "/wp list" to get all given portalnames with its location.

- Next is something i dunno which plugin is doing that, but if you use "/tp playername" it teleports you to the player after typing "/back" you are at the same place you were before the tp command. Somehow, teleporting with WorldPortals, the "/back" command is useless - a little problematic sometimes ^^

So far, keep up the great work

Hello,

I added this plugin thinking I could use a button to teleport to another city in my game but instead it's creating another world. In your video, the guy only had to teleport down the street, not to another world. How do I just set the button to teleport to another city and not make another world?

 

Ah, this one I can answer. When you make the portal, one of the prompts asks what world you want to link to. If you're in the main world of your server, the name of the world should be "world", but if you're running a custom setup it would be different.
If you want to check what the name of the world is, just go to the main directory of your server, in there is a folder named after your world. Any new worlds you create with WP will also be placed in the main directory.

 

Thank you so much!

 

Any chance of an update on the progress of the new version Tim? Not trying to badger, just curious.

 

Yes this is available in the upcomming version.

Yes I love your idea. The following world generators are going to be available

• Normal
• Nether
• End
• Flat
• Empty (the one you suggested )
• Skylands (maybe!)
• <custom added generators by other plguins using the API>

Hi, I love your post, and you're gonna by happy with the reply!

1. I heard other people too about the auth system, I was working on it but I wasn't finished yet, if authme does have an API I should be able to easily fix this.
2. I also heard people about the facing direction. It's because the chunk you are teleporting too isn't loaded yet, so you are teleported to it, rotated, then the chunk is going to be loaded and you're facing direction is going to be resetted. Anyhow, in the new version this should be fixed because the chunk will load before you teleport to it
3. About the multiverse thing.. One little notice, the new version of World Portal is going to be a fully replacement for multiverse! It should have all of their functions with even more! So yes, you probably have to remove multiverse with the new update because I'm not sure if it's going to be causing problems.

4. This whole system is rewritten already, it should be a lot easier in the upcomming version!
5. All that command for resetting the facing direction, the location and all that kind of things are going to be available, also payment and you're even able to link a permission node to a portal.

6. The portal names are also a feature in the upcomming version, exactly for the same use you suggested it for. YOu are also going to be able to create a 'point', that is just a location with a direction. You're going to be able to link a portal to that specific point, I added this feature so you could easily link about 10 portals to the same place if you created a point right there so you don't have to fill in the coordinates every time.

About that /tp command and the /back command, these aren't commands from World Portal, because of this I'm not sure what there doing. If I understand it in the right way /back teleports you back to the previous location before teleported, right? What I'm thinking is that the /back command does teleport you back, but because you're standing on the portal, because that's the place you teleported a way it imidietly teleports you away again.

Hope this helps!
Tim Visée

First you have to know your world name, that's probably 'world'. While creating a portal just fill in the world name 'world', so just the world you're currently in and where youre city is in, then it wouldn't create a new world because it already exists.

Hope this helps,
Tim Visée

Sorry I didn't saw your reply AGAIN, haha. I imidietly answer posts before reading the reply's on it, not the best idea thou.

Yes, like I told, I was 2 weeks a way, I'm back now and I've A LOT of time to work on it!

Thanks so much!!!
Gonna love the next update =D

 

Hello! is there a way I can be the only one who can build in my areas? I dont want ops to be able to build. I am the server owner...

 

Hi, I think I've found a bug with 1.3.1. Whenever I reload the plugin or restart the server, WP forgets all the warps I've set. I get no error message when loading the server, and as long as the server doesn't restart, the portals work fine. Thanks!

 

there is a bug in 1.3, when you teleport, we lose our XP

 

if you logout in a seperate world you end up soffocating half the time when the server restarts...

I.e. i have the World named "world" (main one it auto creates). then i have one named "1.31" . If i logout in the 1.31 world and then save and shutdown the server. re-boot it up and login i will be inside some blocks and suffocate (i'm guessing im at the co-ords where i logged out of the "1.31" but in the "world" so i might be inside a hill etc.

Anyway to force load all worlds on startup or for it to know and spawn you in the correct location and correct world?

 

sorry this is not your fault, I found the problem! thank you.

 

So no clue how or why this is happening, but I'm trying to create a portal from my spawn to a separate world (a PvP world)

The spawn is at about y=200, the target block is at y=65

So I create the pressure plate, link it to the other world, say "401 65 80" for coords, and 180 for facing. It links perfectly, but when I step onto the pressure plate, I fall 135 blocks to my death. I've checked in the config and it shows the following:

Spawn|289 201 245|PvP|401 65 80

The coordinates are right - so why is this launching me to my death?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is using 1.3.1 - the latest build of CB

 

Use a permissions system.

Do you have this problem with the newest bukkit version? If you do another plugin causes this problem, on my server it works like normal.

It might be because 1.3.1. I hope it will work again when I finished the version I'm currently working on.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Tim,

This issue also apparently only works on people who have creative mode on - if creative mode is off, you're teleported perfectly fine. However, if you have creative mode on, it will teleport you to the exact same coordinates in the other world (when you switch worlds on my server, you lose creative mode - so that would be why I get launched to my death)
