Inactive [MECH] SignLift v1.22 - Elevators with signs [1.2.5 R1.0] (Permissions)

SignLift - Elevators with signs:
Version: v1.22

Based on CraftBook's elevator system, SignLift works very much the same way - with two small improvements:

1. Before transporting you it checks to make sure that you won't warp into a wall
2. Prevents accidental block placement on transport

Create signs on top of each other with [Lift up]/[Lift down]/[Lift] on the second line to use.

Create signs on top of each other with {Lift up}/{Lift down}/{Lift} on the second line to create a private lift

Example:
Create a sign on ground level with the second line set to [Lift Down]
Dig down under that sign (place a block in the top of the hole)
Create a sign with the second line set to [Lift Up]

Right click the sign to use



Features:

• Customizable strings
• Safety checks to prevent into wall "lifting"
• Brick placement prevention
• First line can be the floor name
• Hide signs on the back of blocks and use buttons!
• Private lifts
• Permissions

Works fine on #164:

I suspected it would, but rolling back to test was more effort than I wanted to partake in tonight (bed time)

Thanks for testing it, I'll update the topic

 

Does this work for builds 186+?

 

Probably, feel free to try it and let me know

 

is there a way to just use the same style as craftbook so we can transfer over our db?

 

the lifts I built have no db, simply right click on any sign with [lift up]/[lift down] and a matching lift at the other end and presto.

So you shouldn't have to do anything at all to get them working.

 

works flawless thanks!

 

a video tutorial would be nice..

 

Th4natos was kind enough to supply a screenshot and a video in his post here I just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it.

 

Oh yeah oh yeah ohhh yeaaaah.... THANKS. testing

 

Anyone else got some better instructions?
I feel confused.

 

Yeah, works with #238!
And I don't have to edit my old Lifts from hey0 Craftbook, the still work! I'm so Happy!!
But the Lifts are not so "smooth" like the old CB's.

See my old Video, from my early old World:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkvKrxUcIL4

Only make a Sign, Lines:
1. Name of this Location (optional)
2. [Lift Up] or [Lift Down]
3. Name of the "Lift-Location" (optional)

The Second sign has to be directly/parallel above the other sign.

 

I get this every time I use the signs. They work, but I still get this message~ Odd huh?

 

That looks like an issue with the Guardian plugin

 

@freman have you given this a try for the latest?

 

Nope, I generally don't have the time to sit down and test each release - feel free to try it and see if it works, none of my plugins *should* fail catastrophically beyond a debug trace in console so your world *should* be safe if they fail.

This plugin is however extremely simple, unless there's an update that changes how right click is handled or how signs are read then it shouldn't have an issue.

Feel free to try it and tell me if it breaks

 

Yeah it works I thought it was broken but it must have been me

 

My lift down signs seem to be broken

 

Try making sure that there's at ample air space around the in front of the sign you want to go to.
IE:

{W}{_}{_}{_}
{W}{S}{_}{_}
{W}{_}{_}{_}

{W} - being what ever wall you have
{S}- being the sign
{_} - white space/air

The original plugin this is based off would warp you into solid objects if you wern't careful - this plugin is a good deal more paranoid (to a fault) and won't warp you if it thinks you won't end up in the right place.

I might re-write that check so that instead of being paranoid it warps you to directly in front of the sign as opposed to just down from your current position.

 

Ah this Idea is much better than mine >.< I coded my Elevator different with another triggering than signs. If you want to take a look at my source, just ask. I have a protection in it so you don't end up in a wall, too.

 

Updated.

There is a slim change if you turn off paranoid destination checking that you might end up partially in a wall (not actually IN the wall but you can walk into it) - but it should make lifting in close quarters easier.

 

Could you please make the elevator activatable (new word) with redstone?

 

Why would you need that? you must be standing in front of the sign to activate it and there is no moving parts...

 

@freman keep up the good work and I think Redstone idea is to make it so you can create a button instead of a big ugly sign lol

 

Have you tried wiring buttons lately? especially if you're looking for an up/down setup... you couldn't have two buttons on top of each other
--- merged: Feb 17, 2011 6:37 AM ---
I have an idea for a change..

Put the sign on the back of the block the button is on.
--- merged: Feb 17, 2011 11:57 AM ---
There you go, you can now conceal signs with buttons - youtube video comming
--- merged: Feb 17, 2011 12:55 PM ---
Youtube video is up

 

Very cool! Thanks

 

Thanks for the update, it works! CB#336

Request:
Support for umlauts, I've got a german server
Support for colors.
Support for colons.

I want to do this in the future:
up:
default: 'Aufwärts'
lift: '[LIFT UP]'
format: '&6Etage: &f%s'

Possible?

 

I admit I haven't tried any of that, but I can't see why you couldn't put that in the config... Have you tried putting it in the config?
You might need to try &[ code ] or the simoleon (§) for colors.

 

I only used &, äöü and :, Error is the console, some different "plugin exceptions...not allowd character..."
And I tried it with ' ' and without (standard) ' ', but not tested § yet.
