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

U still her explosions in the normal world and the zombies follow you from the nether?

oO First time I hear about something like that.

I'm using Nether 1.2(Nether 1.1 + Acrus Fork) and I never experienced any issues like that. Cant say anthing about Brettflans build as I havent tested it yet.

Could you try using Acrus build? Its working perfectly fine on CB556, cant say anthing about CB600 though. You can find a compiled version from Acru himself some pages ago.

I haven't personally seen it do that since about a week ago or so, but it does happen. I'm not sure if there are any specific circumstances that cause it or not.

I seem to recall that when it happened to me I had used a /home command (from Essentials) which teleported me from the Nether back to the normal world, rather than having gone through a portal.

For the sake of fixing it, I can give you my server address so you can come on and see for yourself.

EDIT: btw, Brettflan, why not fork the project officially? SpaceManiac mentioned that he'd get back into it but he hasn't show interest since.

I do have my source fork available:
https://github.com/Brettflan/Nether
SpaceManiac is still around and expressed interest in maintaining the project just on the last page, so that works for me. I'll just bum around here until he runs me off.

That problem of creatures potentially coming with you when you teleport out of the Nether is a CraftBukkit bug (or Mojang client/server bug), and I'm ~90% sure there's no good workaround for it.
From the 3-4 times I saw it happen they seem to usually just be phantoms which you can't actually interact with, particularly Pig Zombies. Ghast fireball explosions seem to be another matter.
What version of CraftBukkit are you on, out of curiosity?

At the time, I was using #600. Using #602 I couldn't replicate the problem. However, I wasn't using the same world so maybe just bad luck? I have the old map data so I can test the old map data. I'll do that in the morning.

There is no build 605 yet. The actual build number is towards the end of the version string; in your case, it should be 602.
I can't duplicate your problem using my unofficial Nether build 1.3.1 in RB 602. I built, lit, and went through a new portal to the nether and then likewise created another new portal back a short distance away in the nether.
It does indeed show "1, 0" normally in your console when a portal is lit (whether by you using flint&steel or by something else, even when an exit portal is automatically created by this plugin).

For example, the test I just ran:

Code:

09:12:13 [INFO] 1, 0
09:12:20 [INFO] NETHER_PLUGIN: Creating new portal, X oriented. Searching along Y (vertical) for a good spot.

09:15:50 [INFO] NETHER_PLUGIN: Brettflan used portal at (-8, 32, 8) to NORMAL world (-71, 65, 64)

ok this is REALLY weird... now it works igniting it again.. must been a glitch...

works also with build 612

thx a lot for this

I tried the unofficial 1.3.1 now and it doesn't work with craftbukkit 617. It loads fine but when I try to use a portal I get this:

Code:

Acru's build 1.1.5 still works fine but I want to use the preloaded world version for a faster teleport, any ideas?

I'll check into it.

EDIT: Ah, I should have added a check for whether the new text values were properly set or not. One of them isn't in your case. I'll add a check for that in a bugfix release shortly.
If you're in a hurry for a fix, either delete the plugin's config.yml file and let the plugin recreate it, or edit the file and make sure all these values are set:

Code:

show-entry-text: true
show-exit-text: true
debug-output: false
compression-ratio: 8
portal-entry-text: You feel the pull of nether energies.
nether-world-name: netherworld
portal-delay-seconds: 5
portal-exit-text: The portal has taken you... elsewhere.

New unofficial release:
http://wimbli.com/minecraft/Nether_1.3.2_unofficial.zip

Changelist:

• in case of loading an old config.yml from a previous version, it now makes sure entryText and exitText are properly set
• now ignoring move events which other plugins have already cancelled
• proper thread-safety added for teleportTimers

@SpaceManiac
I kind of feel like I'm hijacking your thread here... my apologies.

Thanks for the new version, works fine now!

@Brettflan I don't mind, really, was busy with school all week. Should be able to get stuff taken care of this weekend, getting Acru's code merged in (it's just push away, actually, I've been testing it on my server for a few days) and checking what of yours ought to be included. A fair amount, I think.

Thanks for the updates Brett, been messing with 1.3.2 on my test server using version 617. Everything seems to be OK so far.

ooom two bugs for the author : >

1. when you disconnect in the nether you may die and you logged in the normal world without any items.
2. on my server spawn too many ghast!

Guys will this "break" my normal map at any case ?
I mean does anything, besides the portals stay on the normal map ?
I am asking cause i'd like to be able to use my map on a non bukkit server in the future.

1. Running on older CB builds, you would be stuck back in the main world if you disconnected in the Nether and the server was restarted after that. This was a CraftBukkit issue. I hadn't noticed it removing inventory, but maybe so. However, from brief testing, the problem seems to be fixed on RB 617. After disconnecting in the Nether, restarting the server, and reconnecting, I started out correctly in the nether. So, are you actually having that problem in RB 617?
2. Singleplayer also spawns too many ghasts, IMO. This plugin doesn't alter creature spawn rates in any way. If you want to modify their spawning rates or disable them, you should probably look for another plugin for that.

Your normal world will be completely unaffected other than added portals, and they of course will simply not work if/when the world is later loaded on a non-Bukkit SMP server.

does this work for the 1.4 build?

Yes.

Brettflan: yes i running on cb 617

http://noob.hu/2011/04/04/2011-04-04_11.14.18.png
and this is the normal spawn rate?
this is the greatest nether plugin ever, but i think this is too many ghast
or maybe my netherworld map is bugged a little bit.

so i make another nether, hope get better

That is indeed a lot of ghasts.

Again though, this plugin does not touch creature spawning at all. Whatever spawn rate you're seeing is down to CraftBukkit or more likely the default Minecraft server's behavior.

i created another nether map, and now the number of ghasts is perfect.
sry i think the problem was on my bukkit

I thought this was listed as a CraftBukkit problem.

Thanks for this awesome Plugin
It would be great if u could implement a feature to have multiple nethers for different worlds

any update?

This plugin is meant to work like singleplayer, with one normal world and one nether world. There are other plugins available for multiple worlds of different types.

Is one needed?

I wasn't aware customization was a bad thing. Would it really be that difficult to code in multiple nethers?

Please update this plug!

Does this even need updating? I'm running it on my updated server and I haven't noticed any new problems.

Yes each stupid time someone enter the nether the whole console goes crazy and spits out endless of errors and the player gets stuck and i need to restart the server for them to got free D:
