[INFO/TP] NxCoords v1.0.0 - Alternative coordinate system (no more XYZ) [818]

NxCoords - Alternative coordinate system
Version: 1.0.0 (04/17/2011)
Tested on: 798

This plugin allows you to use a different coordinate system on Minecraft.
When you need to tell someone where you are or to remember a location, you have to use the XYZ system which is quite messy because it produces long numbers, and confusing because unless you're experienced, you don't know where a given point is (to the north or to the south).
I wrote this plugin in an attempt to fix this problem, it provides elegant and human-readable coordinates.

Example: X=10 Y=65 Z=-30 becomes: 10S 30E 65a (10 blocks to the south, 30 to the east, 65 of altitude).

All details about this system are given on the Wiki.

The plugin also includes teleportation commands.

Note: I named this plugin with my initials, but I'm not the author of this coordinate system, it is used in various existing 3D softwares.

Features

• Provides a human readable representation of your position on the map, much easier to remember than the old XYZ.
• Includes commands for teleportation.
• Ability to define limits to prevent players from teleporting too far away on creative servers.
• Support for Permissions
• Ability for developers to use this coordinate system in their plugins (see Wiki)

How to use

Here is a list of commands:

Code:

/xwhere             - Tells you where you are.
/xgoto <loc>        - Teleports you to a given location.
/xtp <player> <loc> - Teleports <player> to <loc>.

Configuration

Code:

teleport:
    enable: false
    max_west: 500
    max_east: 500
    max_south: 500
    max_north: 500

teleport:

• enable - True to allow everyone to teleport. Only used when Permissions is not installed. (OPs can always teleport)
• max_* - The max distance from point 0 at which players can teleport. (E.g.: if you set all of those to 500, players won't be able to teleport farther than 500N 500W, 500S 500E)

Permissions

Code:

nxcoords.where          - Use /xwhere command.
nxcoords.teleport       - Use /xgoto command.
nxcoords.teleport.other - Use /xtp command.

uhm... couldnt people just do the teleport again and then get further?

 

Nop, the plugin won't let that happen

 

PWNSOME

 

Thanks, let me know what you think of it

 

ActiveWorlds! I was actually thinking of doing something like this, I always get confused with those stupid signs ^^

 

Any chance you'd implement hyperbolic coordinates?

Joking aside, interesting plugin.

 

At least polar coordinates might be of interest due to how compasses work...

 

I'd love to see what it would be like if the world was an actual hyperbole

I'm planning to add the ability to make the compass point to the north, and I might allow to make it point to an arbitrary location.

 

wow well then this mod deserve a

 

Please add coordinates offset by permission group. For example, 2 people stays in one place, and admin have coordinates (0, 10, 23), player (100, 453, 645).
It need to hide real coordinates of objects for Role Play. Please.

 

I don't understand. You want disable the xwhere command at certain locations?
Your players will still be able to see their xyz coordinates by pressing F3, there's nothing I can do about it.

 

Yep, i understand it) Now coding proxy)

 

What do you mean?
And is it what you wanted to do?

 

When I used it, my server kicked me, telling that I moved too fast....

 

That's not my plugin, it doesn't interfere with your moves. Except if you teleport but it uses Bukkit's method so there's no reason you'd get kicked for that.

 

Moved to inactive, please msg me if this plugin is still active.
