[MECH] BorderGuard v4.31: #1, Most Efficient Map Limiter [1.4.7]

Hi Intelli, thanks for your indispensable plugin. Small piece of feedback. We recently had someone drop a few thousand redstone torches in our map. In the subsequent lag people were able to push past the borderline by quite a long way. Sigh... Humans... Anyway, not a bug or or complaint. Just for your notes.

Just thought I'd share with you what I seen when loading this into build 405

Can we get an update for this? Much appreciated!

Yes, an update would be appreciated! We shouldn't let this awesome plugin die at 1.3

@Intelli Noticed you were on today and did not share any comments.

Most likely busy reading the dev threads, give the programmers some room guys, if it was easy you would do it.

Sorry I tend to be jumpy since the last person was tkelly who checked several times daily and did not make one post for over 2 weeks.

We need an update.

any chance of developing this addon further? Would like it to respawn the outer ring with new resources and level it. Let me know if this is possible

well it works fine on my server...dont know what youre complaining about guys...

The pre 1.3 version in the initial post works with craftbukkit 429+?

I'm still using an old version, before multiworld support or even a physical barrier, after updating to Craftbukkit 432 and it still works.
Granted I'm not using multiple worlds, so I don't know how that works out.

Well From what i can tell it works with multi worlds just fine still but there is that annoying bukkit error on start up that requires some rewriting to fix. But It would be nice if you could post an updated version and maybe some replys in your own topic Thx cya

Sorry guys, I've been fairly busy lately.

The plugin still works fine, just has the warning when starting your server.
I'll be updating it once a more stable version of bukkit is released for 1.3

Thanks looking forward to this.

Could you also look at this problem,please..???

Or is there a way to shift your world coordinates? someone?

Another suggestion. If you allow multiple boarders to be created, and allow seperate (console: save-on or save-off) functions, we can make a world with renewable resources. As of right now I love this plugin, but everyone starts moaning after a couple weeks "everything is mined here" and I can't blame them. It eventually causes the world to be empty.

This plugin does not work as advertised. Multi-world support is completely broken. Setting a border on one world seems to apply it to all. Disabling a border disables all of them as well.

Edit: Rather, it does somewhat support multi-world, but it only supports 1 extra world. Adding a border on another world seems to set it to that size for all extra worlds, and disabling it also disables it for all extra worlds.

Heads up

This plugin will not be functional after tonight

It doesnt function. Working on a fix.

I don't have time to test them at the moment...

However:

Purdy! Good job! Though the file name has a "3" and the console indicates "2" still.

I also tested this on a multi-world setup with a normal and a nether, and it worked as expected.

Thank you!

P.S. Any chance of you releasing the source code on this? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about plugins and looking at plugins I use and interest me I find helps me a lot.

Our server was set up using features of the hMod Borderlands plugin (to the point of having construction aligned with defined regions), so a version that supports groups and multiple regions (overlapping or not) in multiple worlds would be great.

Any chance of adding that support or opening the source to allow a fork/clone of BorderGuard (or BGLite) that supports multiple regions and shapes?

A few ways we've used that feature include:
- remote, limited areas for strip mining, where the terrain is periodically re-generated
- odd shaped world extrusions for aesthetic purposes while limiting map growth
- remote areas with dramatically different terrain/design, kept separate by gaps between the border regions
- guest, applicant and trial build areas, with empty space as a buffer

Without this feature in one of the Border plugins, we have to hack it with region permissions or by taking what were regions and making them into entirely new worlds, which can sometimes be an improvement, but requires rework and can add complexity.

It looks like BorderGuard is emerging as the popular option to fill the role left by Borderlands and it'd be nice to get those capabilities back somehow.

Just some feedback:

I'm spending as much time playing MC as I am with Bukkit and plug-in's (for testing and giggles mostly, not to run a server for lots of people)

I put on your Borderguard Lite (circle) version 2.0 (on bukkit 440, MV 1.3_01) while underground, in a tunnel area. When I hit the limit, I was getting pushed into and through a wall (could see like in no-clip mode, straight through the world), I was getting the jerk-back elastic effect of hitting the border, AND I started taking damage (looked like 1/2 heart per "arrghh" sound), thought I'd mention it.

Hi all. Been putting ver3 through its paces and having complete success.
Test is 3 worlds 2x750border and 1x250border

And it all works as intended with the both the square and round borders.

Sad discovery that it works fine when first configured.. however
After a server reset or Restartall the border does not seem to work at all anymore.

As far as I can tell all is in order. But I have one question.

Previous versions of BG placed their properties and a data file in my server root folder. The present one only uses its own folder in the plugins folder. Not sure if its got anything to do with it, but wanted to confirm which files I should see where.

Thanks again Intelli

This breaks in bukkit builds above 450...

Using this build I've encountered a bug where occasionally when you hit the border it will snap you back to the center of the circle using the round plugin.

Please update your namespace!
The plugin won't work in newer craftbukkit versions if you use com.bukkit.intelli.
