    --BE ADVISED--
    PortalCalc is NOT ready for RB #1000 right now. We are currently working on improvements within the scanning system and building a portal registration system based on signs. Due to the release of Bukkit's Permissions system, WE WILL BE REMOVING SUPPORT FOR PERMISSIONS 3.1.6. From now on, we will be using the in-house permissions system.

    PortalCalc - Making portal mechanics simpler
    Version: 1.2.0 (tested with Bukkit build 953)

    Now with region scanning!

    PortalCalc is a handy tool that aids in the creation of dedicated portal systems. Currently, it calculates the player's position and returns the player's position relative to the world specified, whether Overworld or Nether.

    Commands used in PortalCalc all use "/pcalc" as a base. These are the arguments passed to PortalCalc:
    /pcalc -n: Returns relative location in Nether
    /pcalc -o: Returns relative location in Overworld
    /pcalc [-s, scan]: Scans region for active portal
    /pcalc [-h, help]: Display PortalCalc help

    NB: "/pcalc" has "/pc" as an alias

    Changelog

    Version 1.2.0
    • Removed /pc being a shortcut to position calculations; now shows help and version number.
    • MAJOR overhaul of scanning system (now roughly 6 times faster and scans the WHOLE region with no height constraints)
    • General code cleanups (was 33 KB, now 12KB)
    Version 1.1.1
    • Added directional location of portal after scan
    • Removed console logging of player scans (for now)
    Version 1.1.0
    • Added portal scanning
      • Includes block count to other portal (direction is coming... direction was too buggy for release).
      • Scans 20 blocks above and below (Y-axis) player
        • This can be overridden by using "/pc -s (height)". Height has to be less than or equal to 30.
    • Console logs portal scans (in case a user is repeatedly scanning a region)
    Version 1.0.1
    - Changed "/pcalc" and "/pc" to return player's other world's location, rather than show help

    Version 1.0.0
    - Initial release

    CB version has to be at the end of the title

    and using url shorteners is discouraged (not forbidden, just discouraged)

    Currently working on coding architecture to include full height checks (which will be 1.2). Actually, v1.2 will pretty much be a code-cleanup release, for cleaner and faster results.

    I'd like to say that qu4ntumcpa (Joe) has volunteered his efforts for this plugin! In fact, most of the scanning system is his brainchild. Let's give him a round of applause!
