Inactive [TP] HeroSpawn - Spawn first time users in a different location v2.0. [1.2.3-R0.1]

HeroSpawn
Version: 2.0
CraftBukkit Version: 1.2.3-R0.1 (Works on 1.1-R6 too)
Spawns first time users in a different location!

Note: Essentials Spawn will break this plugin, making it useless. I am working on a fix.

Download: Here

Do you have a tutorial area that you have to go through every time you respawn? Not anymore!
HeroSpawn allows you to set a new spawn point called a "HeroSpawn", so when a user joins your server for the first time, they'll spawn there instead!

HeroSpawn 2.0 also works with multiple worlds, when I user joins a world on your server for the first time, you can send them to the "HeroSpawn" of that world.

Features

• MultiWorld Support (Finally )
• Easy to use commands
• Knows who's already joined! (Even before the plugin was installed)

Commands and Permissions

• /herospawn - Lists help for commands you have permission to use
• /herospawn set (herospawn.set) - Sets the HeroSpawn of the world you are in to your current location
• /herospawn tp [world] (herospawn.tp) - Teleports you to the herospawn of the world given, or the current world you are in.

Changelog

Version 2.0

• Completely rewrote
• Added multiworld support
• Improved /herospawn tp command

I like this . Unique idea.

 

How bout different spawns for different groups included in this or compatible with groupspawn plugin?

 

This isnt a bad idea. It could be done - however might add some unnecessary weight to a very simple and highly wanted plugin.

 

I'm not sure if this is compatible with groupspawn or not. I suppose you could try it out and see. If not I will test that out later today.

 

I can try in a sec.

Dl link not working for me?

Should be working now

No, it's not unique... but this plugin works better than that one as it checks if the user has a player.dat file and it doesn't write every player that joins to a file. Also FirstSpawn was having problems on HeroCraft, and doing some weird things. Which is why this was written.
This plugin will also work with previous worlds as it knows who has joined your world since it was created, not since the plugin was installed.

 

Lol didn't notice.. nevermind! Ermmm, "nice plugin" is what i will say now.

Hey! that was completely unnecessary as i love yu guy's heroplugins and i use a few of them I was gonna ask what the difference was and thought of that, I will probably add yours on my next update i was simply pointing out that there was already a plugin that does this, not as good but it worked

 

The difference is - ours is stable and will be maintained not to mention if you /reload Firstspawn - it will have a HIGH chance of crashing.

 

Wow? never happened Well, I'm gonna change to yours once I do my updating anyways

 

Well with .dat when reloading you have a chance of the files on the .dat to be deleted like izone before they immigrated to sqlite.

 

Use the plugin if you like it - or dont - in either case, we released it for public use.

 

Works on 860

 

Is there a way to force everyone to go to the HeroSpawn, even if they've already been to the server?

I do the Tutorial zone thing, and every now and again I add to it. I don't want pre-exisiting members to skip out on the Spawning, and miss important information, just because they've been around a bit.

It was easy with FirstSpawn, I just deleted its folder and re-set spawnpoint.

And, the ability to port to the HeroSpawn on a whim, will be sorely missed. It's nice to pop in, invisible, behind someone who just logged in and you feel the need to follow. It's easy to get an idea of who'll grief: Those who care, will read the posted signs. Those who don't, won't.

 

In the current set up - that's a little hard to pull off. First spawn was able to do that because it does not read the .dat file

 

That's already there, just use /herospawn and you'll be teleported there.

As for making members that have already joined the server go back to hero spawn. I'll take a look into it and see what I can do.

 

It wouldnt be a bad concept - but ultimately that can be handled by another plugin. This plugins core intention is to manipulate the INITIAL spawn point - not later spawn points - thats already handled and controlled by several plugins.

 

Add group support, please!

 

Why would this need group support? All it does is send first time users to a different location on first login.

 

This is firing at the wrong time:

15:26:44 [INFO] [HeroSpawn] Soender: logged in for first time. Teleporting them to First Spawn
15:26:44 [INFO] Disconnecting Soender [/188.181.150.46:58720]: Server is full, your queue position i

He's not even managed to really login

 

It needs to be fired on login... - Not on player join. Otherwise the player.dat file would have already been created and the plugin wouldn't work . I might make a config with an option to read from player.dat files. The other option would be to record everyones name in a file. So this won't happen... - I will see if I can fix it happening if the player gets disconnected before he actually logs in first though.

 

I manage a server with three nations that people specify before they join

 

Mmm I used to get this functionality from the plugin SpawnControl. But that provides other features I no longer need, hence the switch. But that plugin did it fine after the player actually entered, not sure how tho. Or maybe it already did a check before that but didn't say anything, not sure. Perhaps can check how he does it to compare

 

I think he does it by recording everyones name either in a file or in the database he has set up for homes etc. So he can fire the event on player join. On player login I am checking if the file is there. If it isn't, then on player join it teleports them to the point set.
I will make it an option in a config, so you can choose to either read from player.dat files or a separate file that records all the player names. Which will stop that problem from happening if they get disconnected before the actually join the game.

 

Ah right, that could be it. You could also add optional iConomy integration, then just check if they have an entry in iConomy table

 

In our attempt to keep our plugins as lightweight as possible, we wont add iConomy integration to an initial spawning plugin, that's just cruel
