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:

• This plugin works with the Permissions plugin. (Currently 2.5+ Only)

Devs: Lologarithm & alron

 

Nice plugin, but riddled with bugs.

I made three stargates.

1. spawn
2. woodridge
3. trains

all on the public network.

- spawn will teleport to woodridge or trains.
- woodridge says "no gates" and won't go anywhere. once in a while it picks up "spawn" but then when it activates, it doesn't go anywhere and people just drown
- trains goes to spawn and woodridge.

I've tried this so many times, removed the db, started over, same results... very odd.

 

This plugin is very nice. However, there are certain things I've noticed. Sometimes, deactivating gates on one end might not deactivate it on another (signed). Also, can you make the Glowstone unbreakable?

Thanks

 

Ah okay thank you, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong, thanks for the reply. Sorry for the trouble.

 

When you say "reload configs" do you mean any configs? Not necessarily the ones to do with Wormhole?

 

I mean with the currently released version of Wormhole XTreme, if you use a reload command that unloads and re-loads modules, you will get a NPE because the hsqldb doesn't unlock its database properly in this version. Easiest solution is to just restart the server.

I corrected the bug in the development version of WormholeXTreme, and it will be in the next release. I'm working as quickly as I can with Lologarithm to stomp out bugs and test new features.

 

hi can u make it so if the iris is closed for peep to died in stead of being push back out the one they went in
+ great plugin love it

 

Thanks for this great plugin, seems to be working well, nobody on my server has encountered any major bugs yet.

I recommend that you update your original post to include that when using a DHD with a Sign Dialer, that it needs to be built before you activate and name the Gate.

Keep up the great work !

 

The next release will change the lighting - and give options to disable it!
--- merged: Feb 17, 2011 10:00 PM ---

We have found the cause of the issues with gates not shutting down properly and not being able to dial anymore. This next release really should be pretty awesome. You can all thank Alron for being awesome and fixing bugs!!

 

Could you give us some insights on what you are planning?
Or at least an ETA? ^^

 

Love the plugin. Made teleporting around our server really simple. However, would it be possible to make a one-way gate? As in you can teleport in, but not out from the Stargate. I've tested with different ways of hiding the gate either behind something or the like, but they don't work too well.

 

Any chance we can get wormhole.list as a Permissions node?

 

Doesn't seem unreasonable. I'll see about submitting a patch for this.
--- merged: Feb 18, 2011 5:09 AM ---

I think you can destroy the DHD after the wormhole is built, and it works as an inbound wormhole only.

 

Arhg! I get the same bug as some others of the gate properly activating, but the user simply drowning in the water with not going anywhere. It only happens on some gates and occasionally, the gate works fine. Usually you can portal to that gate, but can't portal out of it to another. Someone mentioned magic carpet plugin. I had that plugin, but got rid of it long ago. Have updated craftbukkit and the latest version of this plugin.
Otherwise, I love this plugin.

Other Gate Shapes:
I saw that this might be one of the planned goals for this plugin. The people on our minecraft world would love to be able to make smaller, more svelte wormhole gates. Customized to the area or the artistic style of the creator. Is this still in the works?

 

So, I've compiled a snapshot of the latest WormholeXTreme codebase that I've been working on. This still has bugs, but over all the wormholes are much more stable in actual operation for me. The logging is a bit more verbose in this version as some logging features I've been working on are not complete. Anyways, here are the links to it.

WormholeXTreme 0.730-SNAPSHOT
jar || zip (with hsqldb.jar) || changelog

If you don't have hsqldb already, get the zip, otherwise the JAR file should be fine.

This requires build 322+ craftbukkit.

Like I said, this is a snapshot build, and will have bugs. If you run into any, paste bin the errors and link it.

 

Also - make sure to read the changenotes!!! There were some changes to the permissions nodes.

 

Oh yes, good call on that, I always forget about those permissions. Problem with being '*'. ^^

 

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your plugin, it's great!

My issue is i'm currently using netherbone too, and i don't manage to link gates in the nether with the gate network in normal..
Any ideas?

 

Try using MultiVerse or Nethergate?

I know Lologarithm uses MultiVerse (1.0+) and I use Nethergate (0.3+) to successfully manage our multi-worlds. Both have been verified as compatible with WormholeXTreme

Also, if you are just using a single regular world and a single nether world, the Essentials plugin (189+) can handle loading nether and has been verified as working properly with WormholeXTreme. (I use it on my primary test machine)
--- merged: Feb 18, 2011 4:11 PM ---

More than planned. Latest code-base has working (more or less) custom gate shapes. We are working out the bugs in the code, but so far it is looking good. I like the idea of having a 1 block wide, and 3 block tall gate, with an iris even.

 

Everything seems to have started working again with today's server build, "jenkins 23." I'm able to build gates and use gates that were previously unusable. However, I am having an issue where signs aren't updating when you click on them. Is there any known fix for that?

 

What would happen if one of the gates were put on a object that was then moved with movecraft?

 

Loving this still and using it with Multiverse is making my friends love the server more. My only suggestion would be different ways to have a DHD. Like the small ones from SGU something admins could use for gates that have removed the DHD. Easy one would be button placed some where on ring to dial then button gets destroyed and that would be a temp DHD with a permission to allow this option.

Also the ability to lay down the gate on the ground would be great.

 

Rats all the places I want to place a gate I can't due to the height....

 

Likely the gates structure would be moved, however since the gate is simply a set of coordinates in a database file, if you attempted to dial out again it would assume you are trying to build a new gate. Using a non-standard method of moving/destroying blocks (such as iStick or Movecraft) will prevent the gate from being removed from the database properly and can still be dialed into, creating a floating disk of water.

 

Still using 0.71 here with bukkit build 387. I have not yet set up a non-signed gate, but so far everything appears to be running perfectly.

Here's a question though, I had a bit of an issue when a creeper blew up right next to the gate. The gate, of course, was fine - but the sign and button were blown off. After that, the sign refused to function correctly and I had to "rebuild" the gate to get it to work again. Dunno if this is a known issue, but would there be a chance of making the sign and button untouchable by blast damage? Or some other fix? Not that this is a huge inconvenience or anything, but it could be a time saver in the long run.

 

Exactly!

Then you will want to see the next release (I think we will probably be releasing the next version this weekend). You can design custom gate shapes!

With custom gate shapes you could set the dhd to be IN the gate - and thus have no DHD, just a button on the gate. Currently there is no support for changing the SHAPE of a DHD, but you can change where it goes.
I might not require the bottom piece of obsidian on dhd for custom shapes just because that would make it easier to place a DHD wherever you like....
Edit: I just realized what you were asking... and actually that could be done realllly easily. I could just create a new permission or maybe allow just Ops to place a button on a gate and have it function like a DHD button. Are you talking about just the /dial type gates or also sign-dialer gates? Sign dialer gates could be more complicated....

Hmm, no plans to make it untouchable - however it should continue to function. I don't remember if 0.71 supported the signs being removed and placed back on again. The version coming out this weekend should properly support adding/removing both the dial button and the sign dialer.

 

hey, got it working in the end! plugin is awesome!
however i'm trying to have the sign way, where i dont need to use commands, i have signs with the gates name on them both.. eg one has spawn the other has home.. on the top line but they don't work?
thanks in advance for anyhelp

 

If you are trying to ADD signs to an already created gate you will need to remove teh gate first and re-complete as a sign gate. I have heard that isn't clear enough in the directions...

 

okay cool will do, but how do i re-complete as a sign gate?

 

1. /wormhole remove <gate>
2. Make sure you have the sign in the correct position
3. click the activation button again (just like completing any other gate).
4. Gate should auto-complete with the name on the sign.

 

amazing.
truly amazing!
Thank you so much.
