    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

    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!

    Samkio made a usage video here, it is a touch out of date but the general idea still works:


    Changelog with important entries in bold (open)

    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. :p
    • 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. ^^

    Install directions (open)

    New Install:
    1. Download the zip.
    2. Unzip file into same directory that your craftbukkit.jar exists in. This should put the hsqldb.jar into the lib/ folder, the WormholeXTreme.jar into the plugins/ folder, and the latest versions of GateShapes into the plugins/WormholeXTreme/GateShapes/ folder.
    3. Start server
    4. (Optional) Stop the server and edit the newly generated /plugins/WormholeXTreme/settings.txt file as needed.
    5. (Optional) Edit gate shapes in /plugins/WormholeXTreme/GateShapes/
    6. (Optional) If using the Permissions plugin based plugin, set up the appropriate permissions. If using SIMPLE_PERMISSIONS = true remember to use permissions from the Simple Mode list, otherwise use nodes from Complex Node.
    7. (Optional) Start Server again

    Basic use instructions (open)

    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.
    basic_stargate_and_dhd.png

    A real example of a constructed gate:
    2011-01-24_01.53.11.png

    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:
    • 2011-01-25_02.15.31.png
    • 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)

    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.

    Permissions plugin settings (open)

    Permissions:
    • This plugin works with the Permissions plugin. (Currently 2.5+ Only)
      • Changing the built in permissions will not change the Permissions plugin at all.
    • Without the Permissions plugin you can use the built-in permissions (disabled by default)
    • /wormhole perms - for more information
    • to enable/disable default perms /wormhole perms active <true|false>
    • When built-in permissions are active:
      • Default OPs get all access
      • Default all other users get USE only
    Permissions Plugin Nodes: (Controlled by settings.txt - SIMPLE_PERMISSIONS)
    SIMPLE_PERMISSIONS = false

    Help plugin settings (open)

    Help:
    • Currently there are no configuration options for Help the help plugin. It is just plug and play. If you want to change the help text, you are able to do such via the Help plugin override build into the Help plugin.

    As always please let us know of any bugs! Just remember, some bugs are in vanilla and craftbukkit itself, so we may not be able to address them easily.

    Hello,

    I LOVE your plugin, i have one big question though, Those commands: Give Copy Replace ETC, What plugin is that? i want to try it out :DD
     
  3. Give is built in with bukkit

    copy / replace is Worldedit

    Nope. It MM and WXT just have a bit of extra compatibility; for those users who use both MM and WXT.
     
  5. Probably try installing MM so i dont get dupe carts.
    filled my inventory pretty quickly with my portal testrig (also felt rather sick!)

    OH ! and on a side note.. i managed to push a pig in a cart through a portal lol!

    Couldnt find any mention of this issue, but using the minimal gate design, with portal material set to PORTAL, the portal blocks appear rotated 90degreees when activated. eg: When using the gate you walk into the thin side of protal blocks.

    It is an annoying fact about the way that PORTAL material works. Until we get time to experiment around we don't actually know the best way to force the material to orient properly :)

    oey

    hey did you ever consider to get this to work with like the mutiverce mod?or dos it work now?

    Just an update especially for those who enjoy making custom gate shapes!

    I am currently working on major update to the custom gate shape format. The new format will include the ability to create 3d gates, have redstone activate a gate, and redstone to cycle gate targets. Because you can now create 3d gates, the DHD will be integrated into the design, so you can now customize the DHD! Other change is allowing you to specify where and in what order the "woosh" happens as well as what order lights light up!

    The old format will not be updated with all these new features, but will continue to work. So once this update is released you will want to probably update you designs (But not required). I apologize for the major changes but they were needed :)

    For those that want to start working on updating their designs early I can give you the specs for the new format, send me a private message!

    Align your "Minimal" gates on a North-South axis. Then it'll work good.

    Wold that also get rid of arbitrary restriction with sign and dial gates being apart, despite residing in the same network?

    I run multiverse with this mod for spawn control and to properly import worlds. It works just fine for me, you just need to turn off the multiverse portal settings otherwise things might get a bit wonky.

    Ohhhh, its ok. I just like the way buttons look and pressing buttons is always fun. I tried forcing a button on there via mcedit and when i tired it, transformed into a funky lever button thing, idk what it was.

    I know a way to hold the signal after pressing a button using a simple 1 bit memory cell, but it requires either another button to press to reset the signal or a septate delayed line to reset after a certain amount of time(I'm still working on a way to just have one button and you just press it again to reset). However, this is to complicated for anyone who doesn't know anything about red stone and would take up a lot of room even with the new repeaters.

    But thanks, not having the button won't prevent me from still using this awesome plugin. Keep up the great work!

    Uh, what do you mean? If a sign and dial gate are on the same network they can dial each other...

    Any idea when we might be able to send IDC between sign-dialed gates?

    I have two gates on test server,
    Code:

    INSERT INTO STARGATES VALUES(9,'SG3',

    'Atlantis',1121,'world1','NORMAL','AnrDaemon','Minimal')
    SG1 is a sign dial gate, SG3 is a simple dialing gate, both in same network, as you can see. I can't access SG3 from address book. "No available targets to set dialer to."

    @alron explicitly placed it as "fixed bug" in changelog.
    Unless reverted, this change will ruin our transportation network completely. We could as well roll back to Travel Portals - piling up both sign and dial gates in every place you want to access is no better than piling up a toilet cabins... And takes as much space, approximately.

    Which makes no sense whatsoever. Sign dialing gates only list their network. If you don't want a gate appearing in list, place it in different network. Problem solved without creating an unnecessary restriction and performing double-checks.

    Also, our users raised a usability question of wormholes, as it lack even basic control a house door has, and I agree with them. I could understand nostalgic value of inability to deactivate a remotely activated gate, but could you please make it optional?

    those answers were about fall damage on teleport, which now sounds like its the same mechanism that fails which is causing it, but not the same bug i was asking about, sorry i didnt make the connection

    1. I don't see any code preventing you from dialing sign->dial, and right now on my server my sign gates are able to connect to my dial gates as well as the reverse. Try to add/remove the gates and see if the issue persists.
    2. Are you referring to redstone? That is coming in the next big release, I am adding that along with a bunch of other changes to custom gates. The issue with redstone is that it is hard to create user permissions around it, so it will have to be a custom gate that people want able to be activated with redstone.
    3. There is an admin command to shutdown active gates, what is it specifically that you want?

    0.830+ sign gates can only target sign gates, on the same network. dial gates can target any gates, on the same network.

    1. Do you see gate numbers in database script? 8 and 9?
    I _deleted_ _any_ and _all_ gates, then created only these two.
    [WormholeXTreme][v0.832][By Lologarithm & alron]Load Beginning.
    [WormholeXTreme]2 Wormholes loaded from WormholeDB.
    [WormholeXTreme][v0.832]Load Completed.
    And the error message when trying to rclick sign.
    Dialing into SG1 from other gate of course works.
    Log attached.

    BTW, please fix "/wx list" output to list each network of gates in separate line prefixed by the network name.

    2. No. I'm referring to base addon logic. You already have all the necessary mechanics built in addon, yet imposing additional restrictions that defeating the addon usability completely.

    3. When I'm speaking about users and usabillity, I don't mean the obviously administrative commands, that are only really useful in very, very rare cases.
    For this case, I mean that
    a) you can't use already activated gate to walk back, and
    b) you can't shutdown remotely activated gate, if you want to dial another one.
    In both cases you have to wait for a certainly long period of time, until gate shutdown. I know, shutdown delay is a configurable parameter, and I can imagine you want it to work that way for a pvp servers.
    But our server, while survival, isn't a pvp one, and this behavior is just frustrating. You should know as well, that time flows MUCH slower when you wait for event over which you have no control at all.

    P.S.
    Though I've lost my mind and missed some config option, but I've restarted server with missing Settings.txt and it was created anew and was absolutely identical to my existing one (which also means, I was running with default addon configuration, only changed shape files to match my preference of IRIS material).

    I don't see any glaring errors in that log.

    Player logs in, right mouse clicks of a wall sign twice, and a right click of a lever working to start a gate.
    Player passes through gate, is teleported properly, lands on sand, then smacks the wall sign and quits.

    Did I miss something?

    The '/wxlist' thing, for sure I can change that. I was thinking of doing that anyways. And adding permissions support to it so it only lists gates one has access too.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you want something changed reeeeally bad, submit a patch. And believe me, I will happily evaluate any viable patch. Otherwise don't expect that because we have a mechanic in place for something makes doing something else easy.

    This is kinda sorta a stargate themed plugin, know? You are asking for some non-stargate like things. Just be glad I haven't implemented the splash being insta-death. Or walking into the wrong side of a stargate being insta-death.

    If you don't like the timeout value, set it low. A value of 15 is not terribly long.

    Gates are one way, and thus you can't shut down a gate from the endpoint. Someone else might be about to walk through. As an admin, if you can't wait for a gate, why aren't you just using '/wxgo'?

    So, CraftBukkit build 657 should have the fix for the ghost chunks. ^^
    I'm sure there are other issues kicking around causing block.getType() to return AIR, but this should be one less. ^^

  25. I like the one way gates TBH.
    many times i have been in / around the portal when it activates.

    would seriously piss me off if i was ported away lol.

    i can see the point of a 2 way gate. but everyone on my server accepts that its one way. and this is the way it has to be :)
    haha!

    Exactly, it is an intrinsic mechanic of this form of portal teleportation.
     
  27. would be nice to have a few 2 ways. possibly also the option for a Perm open portal.

    but meh! can live without them :)

    and the being able to set stuff per portal :) its ace! i now have hidden portals. so u can portal into them.. portal_material is air. so no one see's it activate or anything. u just appear :)
    BRILLIANT!

    lookin foward to the redstone stuff! and the 3d shapes :) time to get creative hahah

    Kudos on getting the patch committed. Its refreshing to see someone actually chip in instead of bitching - if only more people had that attitude ;)

    On that note - I guess I should finish setting up my dev environment for java so I can do the same...

    So, anyone tried using 657+ yet? Should have 2 of the major chunk bugs fixed. The main world gaping chunk hole in reality and the teleport reporting chunk as AIR.

    I haven't been able to trigger the block.getType() == AIR bug since I applied the patch.

    Anyone interested in verifying? :)

    Ok so I just created a couple gates and I hit the button and it says it is built right and asks for me to name it so i type /wxcomplete PirateBay and it says "An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command" But if I type /wxcomplete PirateBay again it says "::error:: Gate name already taken: "PirateBay"" so then I try to use it and it activates and works taking me to wherever I dial to but then if I have to restart the server the gate list clears itself and I have to redo "/wxcomplete PirateBay" for each gate. Any ideas what would cause this?

    EDIT: Also I noticed it is turning the button into a switch. Is that supposed to happen? I saw in the video when a password was set it put a switch below the button but my button is turning into a switch but it still works to activate the gate.

    What version of CraftBukkit, what version of Wormhole X-Treme? Are there any errors on your console?

    Also, the button to lever thing is intentional. Levers act more reliably than buttons do for this type of setup.
