[INACTIVE][MECH]RemoteChests 1.5 - Access your chests remotely [Permissions&iConomy] [718]

RemoteChests - Access your chests remotely
Version: v1.5

This plugin allows you to access your chests remotely via commands or linking.
Chests you create can be accessed only by you, unless you allow other users via command.

It now supports permissions, if permissions are not present, everyone will be able to use remote chests.

It now supports iConomy as well, allowing you to set a price for all commands
If iConomy is not present, everything is free

Features:

• Access your chests remotely using commands
• Link multiple chests to your remote chest
• Right clicking on a linked chest opens the corresponding remote chest
• Chests, Owners and allowed users are saved through server restarts
• Only chest owners, or specifically allowed users can access your chests
• Permissions support, without it everyone can use chests (when allowed by the owner)
• iConomy support, commands can be priced, without iConomy, everything is free.
• Sign location is changeable in settings.txt
• Limited amount of chests per player
• [player] is substituted for the interacting player's name

Disclaimer: Since I am a lonely coder (in a dark corner somewhere) I cannot extensively test all features of this plugin. So please forgive me for any bugs/errors in the plugin.
When you encounter bugs, please let me know by copy-pasting the error from the server console.

See images below for chest linking examples.

Chest Linking (open) Chest Linking (close)

To link a chest block to a remote chest, place a sign above it with [rc] NAME on it. The NAME can also be placed on the next line.
It will automatically search for an existing remote chest with that name and link to that.
If the target chest does not exist, it will be created.
Any items in the original chest block will be transferred to the remote chest. (When linking and when creating)
Items will be auto-stacked when transferred. If they still do not fit, they will be dropped.

An example of multiple chests linking to the same remote chest.
This is an image of my base on the sea floor.

This is an image of my base at bedrock.

Those 8 chests link to the same 4 remote chests, allowing me to access those chests from either location. I can also access those chests with for example /rcopen dirt or /rcopen stone.

You'll have to place the same sign above both halves of the chest.

 

Do you think it would possible to make these chests work with minecart mania?

i know its creating a virtual chest and linking it to a physical one.

is it not possible to have a Physical chest.. put the sign above / on / under it and access it via a command?

 

Ah, I'll take a look at it this weekend

 

just been playing with your plugin and found a small problem with stacking, if i put in 2 stacks of 4 it will stack OK, if i put in 3 stacks of 32 i get back 2 stacks of 64 and stack of 32. it seems any items that make a stack of 63 or less will stack but over 64 and you get more then you had before.

 

also, is there a way to do away with the sign? and type a command like /rclink sithnar.. then tap a chest ?

 

Are you able to attach chests to multiple players?
if not, could you be able to create this?

 

think im being daft...

given the rc.linkedopen permission.. but people in the group are still not able to open chests.
they can however to /chest sithnar .. but not open a physical chest with the [rc] sithnar sign

am i missing something simple?

 

How do i access the second page of chests? I have /rclist but i cant figure out how to see the rest.

 

Are you able to create something in the settings files that dissalows. Admins to look into other peoples chest. I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Nice plugin! We definitively need minecart mania support for collecting/depositing items. As a "root" chest containing dirt and a cart passing besides a connected chest to it, taking dirt from it

 

When I close and re-open the server, all of my remote chests are deleted. I'm using the latest recommended Bukkit build.

Sorry for really bad english! :/

I fixed several bugs in RC:
- Permissions now working (displayed only error message, but access was possible)
- Damagevalue was not saved during server restarts/reloads (all itemdamage value = 0; items gets repaired, colors changed to ink sacs, colored wool to white wool, ...)
- it was possible to have 1 chest more than in config
- a few i forget

New:
- Log on console: "[RC] Chest CHESTNAME opened by PLAYERNAME"

Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5774365/RemoteChests.jar (#767 .. #812 - should work before #767, too - but not tested)
Only short test on #812, because the server itself was not really stable. But rc was working fine.

 

broken

Does it still work for you? It wont start up for me on 928...

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yes, we have #928 running and rc is working fine. I reuploaded it again, because 4 bytes are different from the version we are using on our server.

What error message you get?

 

any chance of this updating to latest RB?

 

We use this on the latest RB (without iConomy).

 

does anyone use this with iconomy?
