[INACTIVE][MECH] BorderGuard v2.00 - Limit Your Map

What build was this made on/for?

Not sure, but I downloaded the build about 5 hours ago. (Didn't note the build #)
I'll test it with the most recent build shortly.

Edit: Confirmed working with build 44+

It works nearly exactly as detailed, thank you for the great plugin! The only problem is that "/removeborder" doesn't work.

Oops! The command is actually /disableborder

...and now it works exactly as detailed.

A suggestion for the future is to keep it simple. I like the commands you've setup.

@TheArcher what build are you using? Do you have Guardian working?

Now if only we had group set up and border inside border then it be real win

I'm using the official preview release of Bukkit. And no, I don't have Guardian on my server. It seems as though that plugin is outdated.

What happens when you go over the border in a boat?

Edit: Updated! Now, if you're in a boat (or any other vehicle), it'll still prevent you from leaving the border.

This comes in VERY handy. I can now allow my server not to have to load so much because wsomeone spent 2 hours running east too see how far they could get.... XD

I was thinking of having multiple borders. Something like this venn diagram so it "combines" two borders:



Maybe I'll give a shot at making this ^^

what happens if you warp or teleport outside the border? what would prevent people griefing by extending the map? Borderlands had a protection system for this in the past to prevent warps and such.

If at any point you're without the border zone, it'll put you back within the border zone.
If you are found within a certain distance past the border zone, it'll send you back to the border set point.

I don't see how the benefits could outweigh the complexity (unless the plugin developer continues his simplicity). What would you need multiple borders for?

My players are picky where they build and what their surrounding looks like. I was thinking of this to reduce map size while giving players what they want. Before the 1.2 update my community's map reached 1.1GB. Some players found really awesome build spots.

The map was too big to handle..

Our map reached 4GB before the lag was killing us.

I havn't used this yet so I'm not sure if it's a square or circle, but ellipse/rectangle shaped borders would be something I would use. I would definitely use something like this if you could have a larger z axis than x.

The plugin has now been updated to version 1.10

This now properly checks all vehicles. If you attempt to cross the border in a vehicle, etc, it will return you to within the border (even if you don't leave the vehicle).

That's huge, I drew a circle around my map before it got too big. i think it was 5000 radius with borderlands

Lag wasn't an issue for me. It was a pain to download from the server...

@ctx I was in a similiar boat. I had a 2GB map file due to letting people run unrestricted. Was near impossible to do Cartograph. Someone actually ran 20,000 blocks out and built a house.

Now I have Borderlands

Would be nice if this config could be loaded by a BorderGuard.properties file instead of in-game commands.

Also confirmed it works with the most recent release of bukkit at the time of this post.

The in game commands generate a BorderGuard.properties file, which you can manually modify if you want to =]

I saw that after, lol. Great job

Can you please add an option for some groups to be able to go through a border?
I am using BorderLands to prevent specific groups crossing a specific border, it would be nice if you added this feature.
So for example, if I set a border1 at location1, then only group1 would be able to go through it, and border2 and location2 would be accessible only to group2.
Thanks!

is the radius in blocks?

Is this border based off of 0,0? or the current spawn? or what?

We move spawn around on my server, but I don't want the border to change.

The border is based of the point you set it at. So you go to a point, type "/border (size)", and the border will be around that point. It'll stay based off that point, regardless where spawn is moved to.

Yes, so set a border of 5, and it'll be 5 blocks in each direction from the point set.

Just popped back in to let you know... This still works flawlessly in Build #61
