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.

Permissions plugin settings (open) Permissions plugin settings (close)

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.

Devs: Lologarithm & alron

 

Ok, I have a strange question from a server I'm coding some mods on. Were planning to have multiple worlds as we can put custom biomes, and therefore custom blocks in the second world. We'd like to have the capability of checking a nearby attached item for a variable with the gate (ZPM power source) for world to world travel. our version of ZPM will be Industrial craft's MFE with an extreme charge in it (from upgrading it). Any chance once we get this figured out we could get some help with this type of gate-network upgrade?

 

Strange... reboot the server a few times and the gates start working again!
totally confused.. meh. will wait for a wxt that says its for 617

still loving the plugin tho

 

WXT works fine with 617. When you ignore the bugs in 617. Going between worlds (and maybe unloaded chunks) has the potential for block.getType() in bukkit to start failing.

If you get failures using it and can always trigger the failure, set your logging level in settings.txt to FINE, then start your server and do the thing that breaks it.

There will be excessive log output into server.log. Pastebin the log and let me know.

I should be able to tell really quick if you're triggering a bug of mine, or a bukkit bug.

 

if they break again i will do just that

 

Perfect. Just remember after you give me your logs, you will want to set your logging level back to INFO, else your server log will fill up with lots and lots and lots of useless crap.

This is exactly why I log everything major that we do at Level.FINE, so we can see what data we are working with.

Oh, also. Just so you know. next version will be v0.830 and it will allow custom stargate materials defined by the gate shapes. No more global iris and portal materials.

The side effect of this is, no on the fly material changes. Also, the potential for all OLD, non-shape based gates to break.

Just putting some polish on it before I ready it for release. May be a day or two until then.

EDIT: I should mention, @Lologarithm is the author of the new gate shape code. That shit is like black magic voodoo to me.

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

 

oooooooooooooooooh!
looking forward to that

can you put redstone activated gates on a wish list of some sort

 

I want to use this and like this, but the installation and the actual usage in-game is way too complicated. The tutorial video has a guy who is whispering so softly (with my volume very loud) that I can't hear him, and he is doing stuff in-game that I don't understand/can't do.

*sigh*.

 

Yep, verified. There is a block.getType() bug for sure in RB617. When it happens, anything trying to get the material type of a block gets told AIR. Nothing I can do about this other than wait for a fix. :|

This will cause activation levers, dial signs, and my safe teleport code to all silently fail.

 

i think theres a problem with the iConomy interaction as well, it charges for building but not for use

 

I changed it so it would no longer charge the owner of the gate for use. I may break this out into a config option if enough people dislike this method.

 

Is there some sort of tutorial / guide?

 

My policy on making things configurable is "always". Unless it would be a crazy amount of extra work to implement.

 

ahh i see XD i have noticed tho that the compass isnt setting on my map to the nearest wormhole, says it is but its not.

could maybe make an admin/mastergate at some point? can dial across multiple networks and bypass idc

Edit: followed compass it took me to X7 Y:? Z:8 and the gate is at (middle lower block) X: -212 Y:74 Z:81

if that helps in any way shape or fashion

 

...It's really not complicated at all. If you like, I can write up a quick YouTube tutorial for installing and using the plugin. I can cover installation, modification, and use of the portals in-game.

 

You should also say what you found so confusing. I'm sure the dev would be happy at the opportunity to clarify any confusing instructions.

 

This would be great!

 

Alright, it's on the top of my list of things to do tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to be assuming you know how to use permissions when I make this/these video(s). They'll be covering the various configuration options, in-game commands, and a brief overview of how to work with the custom gate shape files.

I'll likely cut each section into a separate video. One for installation, then configuration, then in-game use, and finally custom gate shapes. That oughta set you straight.

I'm pretty sure that by the end of it, you'll be thinking, "D'oh, that was easy!"

 

Verified as broken, at this point I'm going to blame craftbukkit. Works in 602 and there was no change in the method to set the compass, Bukkit API wise. soooo.

0.821 eh? looks more like 0.812.

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

 

turns out i had 3 diff versions in my plugins folder.....

man it's been a long day.

 

That would cause a problem. lol.

When you download the jar, you'll want to rename it to WormholeXTreme.jar

 

Ah. I figured it out. However, how do you make portals perm connect to another one? I can only get mine to dial. Also, with Minimal build; it only lets me go through the portal in one direction (the one I dialed FROM) whereas with Standard it works both ways. Standard is too big for where I want it to be though. How do you make custom ones, or get minimal to work both ways?

Also, how does the network thing work? I want to get my portal to permanently connect to another without having to use dial, I'm assuming that's what network does?

Finally, how do you set up multi-worlds? I created a second world folder in my server using server.properties and naming it "world2" and now I set it back to "world" (my world), how do I make a portal to world2? Do I change it to world2 in properties, make a portal in world2, go to properties change it back to world1, then make a portal going to world2's portal?

Looking forward to your replies.

 

If you want to ENTER a portal, you must have at least a 2m high by 1m wide area of portal material. So the absolute smallest 2 way portal would be:

Code:

[P]

how do you remove sign gates with a space in it i.e.:"Spawn Gate"
Thanks in advance. Love this plugin!

 

How do you make sign gates? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't for me, now when I am building it doesn't even do anything when I click the button.

I want to make a series of gates, after seeing what sign gates could do they work way better for what I need. However, I just can't get them to work correctly. Also, can you have a mix of standard and minimal gates or do they all have to be the same type?

Looking forward to your 'hopefully swift' replies.

Actually, no gates at all work for me anymore. I do /wxbuild Standard (tried Minimal as well) and it tells me to click the DHD and when I click the button it doesn't do anything.

Premissions not working? Setup a test server with essentials, wormhole-x-treme 0.821 and permissions 2.5.5. permissions seem to work correctly with everything except the wormhole mod. Regular users cannot create portals even though they have wormhole.build in the permissions file. I setup the portal and this is what the log generated when I did a /wxcomplete test4 (Said I did not have permissions)

The log said the following:

2011-04-02 00:15:09 [FINE] [WormholeXTreme]Caught Player: "MyPlayer" Event type: "PLAYER_INTERACT" Action Type: "LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK"
2011-04-02 00:15:10 [FINE] [WormholeXTreme]Caught Player: "MyPlayer" Event type: "PLAYER_INTERACT" Action Type: "LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK"
2011-04-02 00:15:10 [FINE] [WormholeXTreme]Player: MyPlayer allowed build permission on:
2011-04-02 00:15:10 [FINE] [WormholeXTreme]Cancelled Player: "MyPlayer" Event type: "PLAYER_INTERACT" Action Type: "LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK"
2011-04-02 00:15:20 [FINE] [WormholeXTreme]Player: MyPlayer denied config permission.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

So how do you set it up to go cross worlds, how do you set up 2-way teleporters, and how do you create custom gate shapes?

 

I actually was just wondering this myself - Wormhole X-Treme supports gates to the Nether, right? How exactly does that work? Do I need additional plugins?

 

Unfortunately, at this time, yes. If all you want is nether access, Essentials works fine. If you want more than just nether, the NetherGate plugin is your best best.

You *only* need these plugins to gain access to (or generate) the worlds to build your first stargate. Once your stargate is in place, the other plugin isn't really needed unless you plan to add more.

One of the features that I do plan to add in the future is multi-world management. But that is a bit off.

 

I've found MultiVerse works best for the management part.
