[INACTIVE][MECH] Portcullis 1.2a [493+]

Portcullis - Build your own gates​

Version 1.2a​

​

This plugin gives you the possibility to build a Portcullis for an entrance of you castle or something like that.​

​

Features:​

​

-Create a portcullis by creating the border and use a command​

-Use buttons and levers to close/open your portcullis​

Installation:

Only copy the JAR-file in your plugins folder

How to Use:

To create a portcullis you have to make a border consisting of every material( but no Air) you want. Now facing the place where the gate will appear, you are tipping in your chat the command:
/portcullis create NAME
For name you've to use a unique name for your world.
Now there are appearing fences, representing the gate.

Of course you want to controll the portcullis. Create a stonebutton or a lever where ever you want and face it
Use the command to bind the button to the portcullis:
/portcullis bind NAME
The name must be the same as the portcullis has.

If you want to unbind the button, use the command in the same way, but write
/portcullis unbind NAME

To delete a portcullis and unbind all buttons linked with it, tip in
/portcullis remove NAME

To see all existing portcullises, use
/portcullis list

To list all commands, use
/portcullis help


Instead of /portcullis you are now possible to use only /pc for a better handling

Download:

See attachted files for the source(I use NetBeans to create the plugin, so it's a NetBeans project) and the jar File. Just unzip them to use them.

Using craftbukkit 420, this plugin doesn't work anymore.

 

The download link you give, Avast detects it as "url: malware" -- Just a heads up.

 

Gates still work perfect for east/west, but north/south gates cannot be created.

 

Please remove your old constructor:

Thank you.

 

Avast said your download link was a threat? Either way, now it won't let me download it, is there an alternative mirror?

 

Is this working? :?

 

I still need another mirror, because I don't want to disable my avast and it won't let me go to the download link lol

NULL Error

 

Added support for Bukkit Version 472 and higher.
Now you can delete existing portcullises
Removed the long constructor.
And I can fully promise you, that in my jar is no virus or some maleware.
But I give you another download link for rapidshare.

 

472?!? Whatever happened to supporting the current recommended build, which is 440?

That's fine as long as it still works with the recommended build.

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

 

Here use this

Dropbox.com

Works great,Looks Professional. You Using RapidShare and filebeam just makes you look guilty of viruses :/

sorry had to be said. so please use dropbox. upload it to your public folder. then give us the public link. i use it all the time for my Texture Pack on Minecraftforums.

 

Someone needs to make a youtube video tutorial for this plugin. I've tried everything, standing everywhere, making the gate in every direction and i can't get it to work.

 

Can we get links to the 1.1 version. Your download links to the .jar go to version 1.0a and a deadlink. Thanks!

 

Finally got it to work. You have to stand directly in front of the hole you want to fill in with the gate, like if you walked one step forward you'd be in the hole.

 

this is a great plugin once you figure out how to use it. im gonna make a video tutorial tonight and ill post it here.
--- merged: Mar 2, 2011 10:13 PM ---

here is a link to a video tutorial i made
http://www.sites.google.com/site/codysserver/tutorials
it is on my servers website, i hope it helps.

Also, i suggest having the option of gates closing and opening at certain times (gates close at night and open again in the morning) or also close after being open for a certain amount of time.

 

All sorted now, was conflicting with some stupid custom commands I'd implemented...

 

I'm on a short vacation(2 Days, wohoo...) and will use this time to improve my plugin.
The idea with the night/day auto closing is very cool, thanks for the suggestion. I will to, what I can.

 

These commands are waaay to sensitive, i had to issue the bind lever command about 20 times before it finally made it, some for making the portcullis, and now the command to delete or unbind wont work.

2011-03-03 03:51:42 [INFO] NickBrahz tried command: portcullis delete Den
--- merged: Mar 3, 2011 9:00 AM ---
This is so dam annoying to bind a lever, maybe make it just a command instead of having to place it, type the command in 50 times trying to get it to work.

This is how i have tried the levers with the command, i keep on getting "You are not facing a button or lever to bind it!"

 

i also cannot get the delete command to work. is it much different than creating?

EDIT: current code to delete a portcullis is remove (/portcullis remove NAME) not delete. and i don't believe there is any confirmation that it was deleted except for on the server and that it will actually disappear.

 

I second that

 

Added new version, here is the changelog:

Added support for 493's Bukkit
Added a help command to list all commands and a command to list all existing portcullises
Added message, that the portcullis was removed
Improved binding/unbinding the buttons by using the block, the player has in target instead the button in front of the player(so, just look at the block you want to bind)
Some minor fixes

 

the portcullis is saved whether it is created or not.

Code:

Portcullis portcullis = new Portcullis(split[2],player);
PortcullisSaveSystem.addPortcullis(portcullis);
if (!portcullis.getBlocks().isEmpty())
     player.sendMessage("You've created a " + portcullis.getDimension() + " Portcullis.");

should be changed to

Code:

Portcullis portcullis = new Portcullis(split[2],player);
if (!portcullis.getBlocks().isEmpty())
     PortcullisSaveSystem.addPortcullis(portcullis);
     player.sendMessage("You've created a " + portcullis.getDimension() + " Portcullis.");

otherwise if the area is too wide then you have to remove it even though it was never created.

 

Thank you Codisimus for posting this error.
I've fixed that in the version 1.2a, which is already up.
Now I sit on a better way to bind/unbind buttons and place the portcullises.

 

Awesome mod Meldanor. However one of my gate make the server crash. I have all the requirements you listed. Other gates are working as intended so far.
This is the gate before creation, and after creation.

Code:

Have you linked both gates with one button?

 

Exactly. I like having an extra thick gate.

But if making one layer door can fix it for now, I don't mind.

EDIT: yep looks like that's why it bugs a bit. Because I'm only making double layer gates and I bind to one lever.

 

Yes, I've tested it on my own server, but at first moment, I don't know how to fix it. Something with the threads.

 

np no hurry thanks for quick response.

 

I think it was with v1.1 but I was able to link 4 gates to one button to create a jail cell. I never had any issues with it crashing, it works perfectly.

 

ok I love this, your frist release wouldn't work for me but revisiting it yay! it works! Whats better, using fences, they don't burn... after you make a gate, remove the top of the arch and put lava on it.... open the gate lava trap falls, close gate, lava is removed but the source lava trap is still there.

This lets you put lava on top of gates making a permanent resusable lava trap.... noobs will think twice before opening your gate now huh
