Solved Resetting the map

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of a plugin that I can use to reset the map? My friends and I have built a relatively large map and every few days we want it set back to the way it was. Anyone know?

 

WorldEdit has a snapshot system, so you can restore it to previous versions. I am not completely sure what you're talking about, and I interpreted it as the above.

 

I think he just want to map delete and regenerate. If its true, just stop your server, delete map, and it'll be regenerated to basic form. XD

 

No I don't want to regenerate it. I want it to go back to the way it was a while ago. Is worldedit automatic though? And how effective would it be at restoring massive areas without crashing?

 

I think u can manually copy world data from server and keep it somewhere. and when needed just replace chunks. Or http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/logblock/

 

If also looked for something like this @zachoooo

I ended with using a plugin like My Worlds or multiverse and just copy the world again, again and again so I basically just merget the worlds and always switched to an other copy when I got done.

I just used those 3 commands from My Worlds plugin:
/world delete [worldname]
/world copy [worldname] [newworldname]
/tpp [worldname]

 

I don't want it done manually. And I feel like rolling back an entire world could cause some serious errors.

This sounds like a perfectly fine solution. Could I just write my own plugin to have these commands run every couple of days?

 

Should work fine I guess. You may need a temp world while your actual one is deleting.

I heard that its possible to restore worlds while they are loaded but I never saw a plugin that does this ;P (I don't even know if that possible but yea.)

 

Ok, I'll give it a shot

 

My Worlds doesn't seem to be working? I wonder if multiverse can do this.

Finally got it to work:

Code:

public static void reset() {
        executable = false;
        Map<String, Location> playerLocations = new HashMap<String, Location>();
        for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            playerLocations.put(p.getName(), p.getLocation());
            p.teleport(Bukkit.getWorld("Spawn").getSpawnLocation());
        }
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "The servers map is reloading. Please standby for the world reset. You will automatically be teleported back momentarilly.");
        Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), "mv delete world");
        Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), "mv confirm");
        File srcFolder = new File("./backup");
        File destFolder = new File("./world");
        if(!srcFolder.exists()){
            log.severe("Folder cannot be found. Shutting down.");
            Main.plugin.setEnabled(false);
        }else{
 
            try{
                copyFolder(srcFolder,destFolder);
            }catch(IOException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
                //error, just exit
                log.severe("Folder cannot be found. Shutting down.");
                Main.plugin.setEnabled(false);
            }
        }
        Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), "mv import world NORMAL");
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "The map has been reset. You will now be teleported back. Next reset is in one week.");
        for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            if (playerLocations.containsKey(p.getName())) {
                p.teleport(playerLocations.get(p.getName()));
            }
        }
    }
 
    public static void copyFolder(File src, File dest)
            throws IOException{
 
        if(src.isDirectory()){
 
            //if directory not exists, create it
            if(!dest.exists()){
                dest.mkdir();
            }
 
            //list all the directory contents
            String files[] = src.list();
 
            for (String file : files) {
                //construct the src and dest file structure
                File srcFile = new File(src, file);
                File destFile = new File(dest, file);
                //recursive copy
                copyFolder(srcFile,destFile);
            }
 
        }else{
            //if file, then copy it
            //Use bytes stream to support all file types
            InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
 
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
 
            int length;
            //copy the file content in bytes
            while ((length = in.read(buffer)) > 0){
                out.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }
 
            in.close();
            out.close();
        }
    }
