Inactive [TP] Wormhole X-Treme - Multi-World Capable Stargates v0.854 [766]

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

Donate to my coffee fund (It helps me code faster!)

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!

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.
• 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. ^^

Basic use instructions (open) Basic use instructions (close)

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.


A real example of a constructed gate:


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:
• 
• 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) Basic configuration settings (close)

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.

Devs: Lologarithm & alron

 

Ya - "EssentialsGroupManager" is actually essentials version of groupmanager. "EssentialsGroupBridge" is actually a plugin that pretends to be "Permissions" but is actually part of group manager. This can screw up permissions on a server sometimes

 

Quoted, for @Lologarithm

 

So, just finished getting all that lava portal fire suppression stuff fully working and reliable. v0.820 lava portals should be safe to use in the proximity of trees. (even safe if you feel like mashing the hell out of the activation lever/button)

Now on to working on the wormehole regeneration command.

 

A question.
It is possible to control "woosh"'d blocks orientation? When poral material is set to PORTAL, blocks go out of portal like they are perpendicular to it... Not looks awesome.
Or, I just though, may be remove WOOSH_DEPTH completely, and use optional parameters for [P] blocks to define de/activation animation (how far that block would go out in the direction of the exit point)?
For example, you could try this 3-step animation for standard gate:

Code:

[A][A][O][O:L][O][A][A]
[A][O:L][P:3:1:1][P:3:1:1][P:3:1:1][O:L][A]
[O][P:3:1:1][P:2:3:1][P:2:3:1][P:2:3:1][P:3:1:1][O]
[O:L][P:3:1:1][P:2:3:1][P:1:3:3][P:2:3:1][P:3:1:1][O:L]
[O:S][P:3:1:1][P:2:3:1][P:2:3:1][P:2:3:1][P:3:1:1][O]
[A][O:L][P:3:1:1][P:3:1:1][P:3:1:1][O:L][A]
[A][A][O][O:E][O][A][A]

 

Y'know, I've looked for a way to fix this since I fist saw the bug like a month ago, and the only thing I can really find is the fact that portal material aligns itself to the blocks around it... Otherwise it aligns itself to the east/west boundary. At some point I'll try seeing if I can't start poking the block metadata and see if it accepts the same style metadata as say block dispensers or pumpkins.

As it is a cosmetic bug (doesn't effect the actual functionality of the gates), I haven't really dug into it terribly much. Still vexing.

 

I think an easy fix would be to not fill the depth of the wave, then there won't be any blocks to align... unintently.
Then you only need to be sure that your portal is aligned N-S, and all should be well.

P.S.
Something for "Simple" gates?
[P:1:2:1]
[P:2:1:2]
[O:E:L]

Yeah, that's very... simplistic
Oh, and "1" means "the portal plane", not "1 out of portal". With "0" for "nada, don't display block at this step". With 3 steps animation it wouldn't help you much, but with 5-step, and using both positive and negative values as well as zero, the possibility to express your creativity would be almost endless.

Shouldn't wormhole.network.use.NETWORKNAME include rights to dial the gate?
Or, if you consider it on a wider scale, shouldn't this node be changed to
wormhole.network.NETWORKNAME.use.sign
wormhole.network.NETWORKNAME.use.dialer
wormhole.network.NETWORKNAME.build
?

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

 

would it be possible to have horizontal gates in the future?

 

Ok, I've got lever and button animations for both gate and iris (de)activation working and merged into the main github repo. v0.820 will have this feature. It is mostly cosmetic, but I do like seeing levers move by themselves when the gates open and close.

Buttons pop out at what looks to be random intervals even though they shouldn't, I'm not terribly sure if this is a bukkit bug, a client bug, or a bug in my code. Purely cosmetic issue, so...

 

So i updated my Craftbukkit to 556 and tried out the newest Plugin version, but when I try to dial between two gates it says "Chevrons Locked" , Gate succesfully deactivated"

What should I do?

 

OK, running CB #556 with your latest Wormhole-X-treme

Created 2 public network gates, one in my main world and one in the netherworld.

When I dial up say the netherworld from my main world or when I dial up the main world from my netherworld, a brand new gate, many blocks away is created in the target world. I thought I'd come out of the gate I dialed?

What am I doing wrong?

 

I am having an issue with a gate name that has a space in it. 'Gallery Spawn'
I cannot remove it! /wxremove only uses the first name 'Gallery'. I can see the gate in /wxlist though.

D:

 

If I'm not mistaken, using /wxremove "Gallery Spawn" should do the trick. Gates with spaces are kind of silly, in my experience.

Also, has it been mentioned here that if I make a gate named 9, using /dial 9 or /dial nine both take me to that gate? Interesting little bit I just recalled.

 

Okay thank you. Now I know to use quotes!

 

Glad I could help.

Also, to the devs: This may very well be the smallest, most insignificant thing you've ever heard in a request... but would it be possible to include an option in Settings.txt to completely disregard iConomy? In particular, I'm referring to this line:

Code:

[WARNING] [WormholeXTreme]iConomy Plugin not yet available - there will be no iConomy integration until loaded.

Or at least change it to [INFO] instead? Small, like I said, but in my opinion, it'd make skimming over startup logs a little bit easier. Maybe it's just me, but I freak every time I see [WARNING].

 

My copy of WXT isn't recognizing new gateshape files. I renamed them a while back and have since restarted multiple times, but it still only accepts the old names. Am I missing some shape reloading process?

 

It's client not expecting server to do any fancy stuff with buttons. And I don't think it's really need to hold button pressed for a while, it creates a headache for both that you don't want to solve. If you really want to do so, consider an option to build gates with lever instead of a button for when you don't want gate to time out. Lever is much easier and less confusing for both server and client. (And for user, too)

It's not just you.

I'm making iConomy, Permissions and Help plugin hard disable settings.txt options now. They will default to false, so WXT will attempt to bind to the plugins.

Happy?

 

I don't think it's necessary. Just revert the logging behavior to notify of relevant plugins presence, rather than absence.

 

Either you get a notification that plugins WXT uses are missing, or you get a hard disable option. The notification is for support purposes. Seeing as I'm almost done adding the latter, that is what you get.

 

Seems like you don't understand... :/
Logging is not for "what's not going on", there's too many things that not gonna happen. (And it does not make me coffee, boooo...)
Logging if for "what happened".

 

More like you don't understand. When you're starting up you want to log pertinent configuration details. This includes when you do or DON'T find an external library (plugin) that you depend on.

I would agree if this was something that logged every few seconds. But this logs once. Per plugin. It is such a trivial amount of log entries... I can't believe you are bitching about it.

I am changing the cant find plugin notification from Level.WARNING to Level.INFO though. So people will stop freaking out when they see a WARNING. (Even though this type of notification is what Level.WARNING is FOR)

EDIT:

These changes have been pushed to the master repo and will appear in v0.820.

Mostly agreed. I think the bug is bukkit related still, as buttons don't pop out at regular intervals. It is random.

As is, I'm toying with the idea of removing button support. Would be one less thing to worry about, and simplify the code a little bit.

I think I can do this in such a way that existing button based wormholes get their buttons changed to levers automagic like.

When you renamed them, did you just rename the file, or did you also change the Name= line at the top of the shape file?

The "WARN" logging level is most common for non-critical run-time ERRORS and configuration MISTAKES.
Absence of a useful, but not required plugin is neither error, nor mistake, but a willing choice.
Thanks for changing it, though.

 

I'll just quote the javadocs for java.util.logging.Level

I do consider not finding a plugin that we consider a dependency (even if it is an optional dependency) a WARNING type situation. If it was a real error, I'd be spitting out logs at Level.SEVERE (which we already do for real errors).

So, I think I just fixed the wacky appearing in a block bug that happens when people build blocks where their teleport exit is support to be. I'll give more details when I finalize it.

Recently in my server, the wormhole spits us out up high... like the gate is on the 1st floor, and I come out the 2nd. It's doing this for all the gates, which is unfortunate, because my private gate is right below a lava pit room
This is the 1st I have seen of this bug.

 

I am actually working on a fix for this bug right now. Got the basic logic completed for the fix. Just fine tuning.

 

Are there any updates on my suggestion regarding "master-gates" yet? I'd really like to know if this is a feature I can expect or if this is considered unnecessary.

Anyways, thanks for your hard work

 

Hey there, I use recommended Build 556# and i host a Server with 2 Worlds using Multiverse.

Before i updated to that Version and hosted 2 Worlds everything worked fine with the Wormholes.

Now my Server is like said on the first line. And I get the following Error when I try activating a Wormhole:

"Gate succesfully activated.
Chevrons Locked! :: <required> [optional]
Type '/dial <gatename> [idc]'
Gate successfully deactivated."

I only press the Button once, but the Gate deactivates automatically just in the same time it activates. My Activation and Shutdown Time are both set to 15 sec.

Could you pls help me with that Problem?

 

Ok, I got a rudimentary safe teleport location method pushed up into the master github repo. It needs refinement, but is a good start.

Side note that makes me very sad panda, the block.getType() bug seems to be back in the latest bukkit builds I'm developing v0.820 against. :|

Hate.

Have you verified it isn't one of the other plugins you are using causing double clicks?

Are there any errors printing out in the server logs?

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

 

I have no new Plugins installed except of Multiverse, and they is no Error in the log.

 

Also make sure you don't have two copies of WXT - it behaves VERY strangely when that happens (including the double click issue)
