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

Never tried running Nether and Multiverse side by side myself, may be an interesting try-it-and-see.

Anyways, been putting some work into Nether 2.0 and here's what I've got so far:
https://github.com/SpaceManiac/Nether
http://wombat.platymuus.com/dl/temp/Nether-2.0.jar

Here's a snip from the default configuration:

Code:

# Configuration for Nether 2.0

# Mode can be one of three values:
# 0 - Classic mode, just like Nether 1.2 (no delay when portalling)
# 1 - Agent mode, which uses Nether 1.2's portal code but the new portalling
#    events (delay when portalling)
# 2 - Adjust mode, which uses the standard portal code but allows configuration
# Classic mode requires allow-nether in server.properties to be false, and agent
# and adjust mode require it to be true.
mode: 1

# Respawn affects how respawning works, and is independent of the mode.
# false - respawning is not handled by this plugin - dying in the Nether will
#    respawn you there.
# true  - if a player dies in the Nether, they will respawn in the normal world.
respawn: true

# This is the name of the nether world. It only affects Classic mode.
worldName: 'nether'

# One block in the Nether equates to scale blocks in the normal world. Only
# affects Classic mode.
scale: 8

# Whether to log portalling and respawning. Exact messages vary based on mode.
log: false

# Various options that apply to all modes are available.
# searchRadius - the radius to search around the exact destination for an
#    existing portal.
# creationRadius - the radius around the exact destination that a portal may be
#    created (does not affect Classic)
# canCreate - whether new portals are allowed to be created.
# If canCreate is off and no portal is found, some portals will not function.
options:
  searchRadius: 16
  creationRadius: 12
  canCreate: true

Everything works in theory but I've done zero testing, so if any adventurous could let me know what goes horribly wrong, that'd be great.

That's what I got when I tried to fire it up on the latest recommended build for 1.8

Hopefully fixed soon, I love this plugin

That error appears to be caused when it tries to load a blank configuration file. If you just dump the jar file in and start bukkit a blank Nether/config.yml file is created. This needs to be filled in with his default config above or it will give you that error you got.

Found a bug with the new release, it seems to put you on top of the gate once you have teleported through. Also not sure if its a bug or just my server. Once im in the nether (brand new world) I just get dropped due to an overflow. I also get dropped each time I connect back to the server.

No console errors, but i do spawn in on top of the portal with 2.0.

Thanks SpaceManiac for nether 2.0!

I was going to switch to multiverse-netherportals but the default search radius seems to be 1024 blocks in the overworld. So I found out that nether 2.0 supports agent and adjust modes. Looking at the code it seemed that adjust was what I needed to tweak search/creation radius, so I installed it alongside multiverse-netherportals, but I had some problems: when creating a portal on the overworld, going through that portal and then going back to the overworld, another portal somewhere else on the overworld was created.

My solution was dropping multiverse-netherportals and replacing it with nether 2.0 in classic mode (so all portals lead to the same nether and return to the main world), which worked flawlessly just like 1.2. But I imagine this is not something all server admins can do, and fully working agent/adjust modes would be a nice feature.

Hey, you're very welcome! Over the break I should have spare time to fix this up and release it on BukkitDev and whatnot.

That spawning on top of the frame sure needs to be fixed, it's pretty annoying when portal is created somewhere in undersea caves with low ceiling and you spawn just in that sea.
But still, great plugin! I hope it can't be used as a griefing tool (ie for destroying houses with portal)?

I updated this plugin for 1.1-R5 / 1.2. I'm usually not a java programmer, but the documentation to upgrade the event system and configuration made it simple enough for me. Also, <3 maven.

BTW, the bug where you spawn on top of a portal happened to me when using agent mode. Doesn't happen in classic.

@dequis

still works in 1.2.5?

Yep.

Also @SpaceManiac updated his branch two weeks ago but never released a build. Maybe it's not ready, maybe he forgot. Who knows. There's also a fix for spawning on top of portals on agent mode there. It's not in my fork mostly because I use classic (due to bugs in agent...)
