[INACTIVE][TP] Nether v1.2 (2.0 in progress) - Super-Simple Nether Portals [1000]

Oh come on. Every browser can save files from URLs. Instead some users can't actually use their browser. And I don't understand why should I struggle because of them :/

ZIP files are a struggle for you?

Actually, Bukkit itself comes as Jar, so you could suggest users are able to download Plugins .Jar Files when they are able to obtain a Bukkit Jar to run the Server that should use the Plugin, aye?

I haven't seen this problem posted yet, but when my users enter the Nether world, the server thinks they're hacking, and kicks them. I've tried allow-flight=true, and this error still shows up. I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this.

Hello, I am having a problem with mobs spawning in the Nether. I'm not sure if it has to do with this plugin or not, but this is what happened. I was updating the server plugins (I was using Nether 1.1) I then updated to nether 1.2, while I was setting properties for the other plugins, I renamed the netherworld in the properties of 1.2 (I had no idea renaming the nether would change it in anyway) When I entered the nether, it was changed. So I put the name back to the original name "netherworld". Now monsters don't seem to want to spawn in the Nether. I have tried reinstalling nether, and using the old version, and the unsupported version, non will spawn mobs. I am running Bukkit version git-Bukkit-0.0.0-706-gf53e007-b740jnks (MC:1.5_02) if it helps.

Thanks.

Hey all.

Registered on here to post an issue with this mod. I'm using the 1.4 version posted a few pages back (Thanks). Me and a friend went on an epic adventure into the Nether via a portal, which of course spawned a new one on the other side. We walked for a bit before we decided to create another portal for us to travel back through, rather than trying to hunt any pre-existing portals. However, when we tried to go through, it caused massive issues with the server causing us both to crash and the server revert back aroudn 10 minutes (Though only inventories, not the real world or Nether.) Just a note, when we came through the portal we spawned in the sky and endlessly fell before crash.

Any idea on this? I'll attach a bit of my log to see if anyone can figure it out. Is it just due to bad positioning of our portal or? Other than this crashing the plugin is perfect. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

(Editted log out to avoid Clutter as response was give. )

It looks like you need more RAM in your server, or you need to allocate more to java when you start the server.

In the future please dont post large snips of logs in comments, use a service like pastebin.com and link to it to prevent clutter.

Also did you even read the log file you posted?

If you need help running a server please reference THIS

Apoligies for my naiveness, I must have skipped over that bit. Thanks for pointing it out.

Unfortunately the link you suppllied is little help for help, as the server is run by hosts. I'll have to put a ticket in about it. But no need to act so hostile next time. :S

Thanks.

when i use the portal the spawn doesn't generate and i have to reconnect every time, does this happen to anyone else?

where was i hostile? i pointed out where in the log files your issue was, advised you to use a pastebin service in the future to prevent flooding this forum with excessivly long messages. And then, because your answer was present in the logfile itself, and not referencing some obscure issue within bukkit/java/minecraft i asked if you had even reviewed the log as thats what its there for. Finally i posted a link to the officialy guide bukkit provides for starting a server. If i wanted to be hostile i would have asked if you needed me to wipe your ass for you as well. and yes, i am being hostile now. It seems you are upset with me because i pointed out the error, and showed you how obvious it was if you had bothered to look yourself.

So we've been using the unofficial 1.4 of this plugin(linked on the last page I think) for a few days now with no problems, under various RBs including 733 and our current 740. So I get up today and I try to log in to my server and I find that I keep getting a connection reset error.

The log showed this: (click spoiler)

2011-05-01 20:59:52 [INFO] Stopping server

So after a bunch of trial and error removing my plugins one by one to find the cause, I find that removing the unofficial Nether plugin fixes the issue. Curious, I put the "official" 1.2 version linked in the OP on my server, and the server works fine. Just to make sure, I switched back to the 1.4 unofficial and indeed, the server breaks again. So there might be something up with the unofficial version. I've switched back to the official and everything is running smoothly again.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. That log error doesn't indicate anything to do with the Nether plugin, so that definitely makes it harder to track down. My first guess would be that there's a memory leak somewhere. I'll check over my unofficial version tomorrow to see if I can find anything.

@Brettflan @SpaceManiac
What happens if I have two normal worlds and this plugin? Will gates from both worlds link to the same nether but remember their original worlds? Or would it be possible to get a separate nether for each normal world?

If you have 2 normal worlds with this plugin, you can build portals in both worlds, and travel to the nether, however any portal build in the nether will only take you to the world listed in your server.properties. hence you can get to the nether FROM both worlds, but you can only get BACK to one. This plugin only supports ONE nether (although more can be present, it will only use the one listed in its config file)

YES.
ZIP files which contain nothing but a single file. (which is itself just a renamed zip file, i.e. already compressed)

I have to make the damn clicks to extract the damn plugin from the damn useless ZIP, for no reason. Arrrrghhh.

That's a bummer I really wanted a separate hell for each world

So do i, i hope the plugin dev considers what i purposed a couple of pages ago, it would keep the plugin simple, and allow for one nether per normal world, but its his plugin, and i dont know java, im very thankful he's decided to develop and share what he has with us!

OK, it took a few days of profiling and testing for the memory leak in my unofficial build to make sure it was fixed. As far as I can tell it shouldn't have been leaking in the first place the way it's written, but... whatever the reason, it should be fixed now with 1.4.1 unofficial. The official version didn't seem to suffer from this memory leak, so if you've been using it you should be fine. Anyway:

http://wimbli.com/minecraft/Nether_1.4.1_unofficial.zip

Changelist:

• fixed the memory leak by explicitly freeing up several references when done with them
• fixed a non-fatal NPE which I noticed showing up in my server logs

5/10 needs work.....

I'm having a problem with portal placement, using 1.2. The first portal I created was on a natural obsidian floor of a once lava pool, for a quick test. I came out fairly high up in the nether (~80), but didn't think much of it. Then, to make a fast travel network I made a portal at my base, and one at another area very far away, on top of the ocean, incidentally roughly 100x100x40 blocks away from the first portal I created, so pretty far. When I walked through this portal, I found the I came out of the same portal that was the first that had been created in the nether, connecting to the lava room. When I walked back through, sure enough, I came out in the lava room, and not on top of the ocean, like I wanted. So I destroyed the portal in the lava room, trudged back up to the one on the ocean, and went into the nether, then back into the normal world, instead of coming back out of the same portal, it made a new one, again significantly farther away, somewhat close to where the portal in the lava room was.

Is there any way to fix behavior like this? I read the last few pages, but it didn't look like the newer versions were made concerning this issue.

That's a problem which should be fixed in my unofficial release (for quite a long time, actually), if you care to try it.

Since Notch is finally implementing official SMP Nether support for the next release of Minecraft, this plugin will probably no longer be needed in the near future.
Transitioning your Nether world from this plugin to the official Nether world should be a pretty simple process when the time comes.

Thanks for the replay. Just to be sure, will updating to a your version break anything?

Nice work, i used netherar, but i have many glitch & lag, nothing with your plugin

The only problem you should see is with some portals not connecting the same as in the official version of the plugin, basically for the reason you found.

Since 1.6 will have official SMP nether support, I figured I'd go ahead and post how to move your nether world from this plugin over to the official method.
I'm assuming that the SMP nether support will store files exactly the way they've been stored for singleplayer, since the main world data is otherwise compatible between singleplayer and SMP.

So, this should be the simple method for transferring it over:
1. Go into your netherworld folder (by default, "<Bukkit path>\netherworld\").
2. Copy/move the "DIM-1" folder out of there over to your main world folder (default "<Bukkit path>\world\").
3. The final path should look something like "<Bukkit path>\world\DIM-1". That's it. Simple.

I'm actually really concerned about that. My server has already created a massive highway within the nether connecting portals to portals, and I really hope that this update doesn't break that. Otherwise, we're going to have some very angry people down here

Looks like the update has an option to disable Notch's Nether. If you do this, this plugin and others should continue to operate as normal. I plan to try to get some of Brettflan's changes integrated into a proper release sometime soon.

When I get into the nether the blocks I destroy re-appear. and the blocks I place disappear.
