    PortalStick
    Authors: matejdro and oliverw92

    Have you ever wanted to have portal gun in minecraft? Have you ever wanted to make your own portal test chambers and make your friends solve it? Now you can do this!

    PortalStick is plugin that tries to emulate Portal Gun as close as possible in Minecraft without client mods.

    Demonstration video of the plugin:

    (map from the above video: CLICK)

    Shorter demonstration video created by user of the plugin (sorry, can't remember name right now.):

    when dropping from a ledge up high it doesn't seem to use the full portal feature you implemented. Only if you jump.

    EDIT: I realize now that there is a minimum height requirement. Personally I would like to see the whole portal usable all over no matter what vs the somewhat of a door system.

    This is not a permissions file error, I get it too, and my permissions file works just fine. It happens when I use the /reload command.

    Awesome !!! this a real great job guys ! Congratulation !

    An idea for a next version will be to make the player transparent when he is teleported to the next door :)

    Actually it is a Permissions error - look at the first error. The Permissions/GroupManager plugin isn't loaded correctly, which then causes PortalStick to break. This should be fixed in the next version - I've created a new Permission class that manages things like that better.

    Ehm not. The errror in this post is definitively a messed up permissions file. What do your console say?

    Try deleting permissions and see if it works then.

    No, but we are getting very close now. I'm currently getting regions working correctly (unique inventories per region, different materials per region etc). Matej busted out liquid teleportation and infinite dispensers yesterday. Once regions are properly working we only have damage boots left to do.

    There is also the possibility for aerial faith plates but we need to decide how they should work in terms of what blocks they are etc.

    Not going to happen. If you had read my post, you would have noticed that it works perfectly UNTIL I use the /reload command. Something in your plugin is not unloading properly if a /stop command isn't issued (or maybe it isn't reloading properly).
    I can PM you a copy of my permissions file if you still believe it is in error, but it would be a waste of your time. If there was something wrong with the permissions file, the entire permissions plugin would fail to load, and there would be no issue here.

    See my post:

    It isn't a bug with our plugin. It's the permissions or groupmanager plugin not loading correctly, which then causes our plugin to not load it.

    Tipp: Paste your error on some pastebins (e.g. pastie.org or pastebin.com) also if you are getting the same error as post #335. Because the error in post 335 is definitely not caused by this plugin, as it happens while GroupManager tries to load the permissions file. Okay there could be side effects, but without a detailed error message, nobody could know, what causes this side effects.

    And in post 335 is only the first error relevant. All of the others are simply caused by GroupManager because it didn't finished its initialization.

    I'm amazed at this plugin- but there's one problem. When you stop a server, the emancipation grill's sugarcane is deleted and are no longer functional :O

    Good point... though I think I do prefer the larger portal, but if it won't fit I could understand making a smaller one instead.

    This is a portal mod, the mod you are thinking of is called world edit with the amazing ability to type /jumpto and jumpto a block. This mod models a game which's object is to defeat the big bad computers and receive cake. You're reading into things a bit too much kid. The outer areas of portal have no freedom at all. Your still stuck in Aperture, you're still bound to the exact same rules; you can place portal here, not their. The outside of portal is the exact same as the inside just a less pretty, more deadly area.

    Portal, is a game about test chambers. And cake. This is a Portal Mod.

    Once again, no one understands what im saying XD Heres a diagram from sky veiw

    stonestonestonestone <- want portal there

    torch
    torchpillartorch <- torches count as a full block, so i cant shoot through them
    torch





    me

    All I'm saying is to put torches, ID 50, in the, shoot portals through these blocks, config line. That way people ain't all messed up like me. Hope you understand XI

    Thats what I thouht you meant, but what i mean is say you have a torch on a stone wall and fire a portal at the stone wall, the wall will turn into a portal and the torch will be floating.

    I'm certain that Maoman is aware of all these details of Portal. He is merely saying that there is no reason for this mod to restrict it based on how Portal works.

    This is not Portal. This is Minecraft. Any arguments based on the premise that this is Portal which fail to take into account that it is also Minecraft are by definition missing something.

    @TheHANGOVER When making this plugin, my main idea was to bring Portal gun to Minecraft world. You are talking about portal world. While i think that most people will probably use this plugin as you said, but you have to consider that minecraft is open world game with endless possibilities. My (and now oliver92's too) goal is to bring portal gun to minecraft. It's completely up to you, how to use it.

    And I totally get that, its just when someone says things like this
    to explain reasoning for doing so, they need to be slapped from time to time.

    Actually, second part of first game WAS controlled environment. Developers of the game made with portals in mind. But in minecraft you don't get that unless you build your own testing course.

    Suggestion:
    (Do you take them?)
    • Ability to have different colored portals per player, to distinguish between who placed which set of portals.
    Not majorly important, but I feel it would be convenient for larger servers with more players.
    • In case the above is impossible (I know enough java, but not plugin developing), what about placeing a sign either on the top-most block, or replacing the top-most block (Facing the direction of placement) with writing designating "Portal place by/Name" or something similar.
    These are not really demands, just simple suggestions.
    On a continuing note: This plugin is awesome.
