Ancient Gates

Table of Contents

Introduction

This plugin can allow those with permission, to create gates. These gates will teleport any player, entity (incl. passenger) or vehicle (incl. passenger) that enters that gate to the designated location and/or execute a command. This is a very easy to use, easy to maintain transportation plugin! As a bonus, the gates can look any way you like (vertical or horizontal), with a selection of portal materials.

To get started, try the in game command: /gate

Hmm It kinda changed the way it's working but still this isn't a solution. Now what happens is sometimes it drops the items on the teleport point and sometimes again on the front of the portal. EDIT: They pop out after I join the server back. So basically what happens is I go to server B and none of my items drop on server A. When coming back from server B in most cases the items pop out of the portal if not, then on the spawnpoint, having not even logged in (using xauth).

And couldn't you just set a timer for the announcement to disable? So that for example after 10 seconds it would display the normal "player left the game" message.

Ok, looking at your config you're using the latest dev version. You need to set your inventory to "TRUE". You can do this by typing "/gate setinventory [id] true". This basically means the player is allowed to keep their inventory when passing through a gate (it won't transfer their inventory across servers, just allow them to keep hold of it).

You can set the default for all new gates by typing "/gate setconf teleportInventoryDefault true".

With regards to the announcements, AncientGates is not aware that the player is not whitelisted on the other server. So as far as it's concerned it sent the player to that server, the server just rejected them and sent them back. So it will announce that they went to the other server.

I would look into using the gate access permission nodes, i.e. "ancientgates.use.[gateid]" and setting which user groups can and cannot use the gates.

Remember, this requires the Vault plugin to be installed and for enforceAccess to be set to true in the config (type "/gate setconf enforceAccess true").

I have a view errors that although spending some time in the configs I didn't manage to fix.

Somehow when moving from server to server via Ancient gates the items in my inventory get dropped in front of the portal. This happens on both directions. This is how I've set them up:

"bungeetype": "LOCATION", "entities": false, "vehicles": false, "inventory": "FALSE", "material": "PORTAL", "cost": 0.0

I'm using multiinv on one server on the other not.

Another bug is with the announcements. When somebody not beeing whitelisted on the other server and tries to go throuh the portal it doesn't allow him to do that which is brilliant but when he logs off the server announces that he went to that server.

What am I doing wrong? Best regards and Merry Christmas!

EDIT: I'm running the latest dev (#113) and latest craftbukkit

@benneht First of all, read the BungeeCord instructions in the link above. Then when you get stuck, reply with details of where you've got stuck.

I can't help you if all you give me to work on is "How do I do I get bungee cord support going", there's a whole page on how to get BungeeCord support going.

@BeatZzzBaZzz I'm not sure which zip you are referring to, AncientGates does not come in a zip?

When you say "change the messages", are you referring to translating the plugin itself?
I am looking into providing additional language support soon.

Yes, any build above #102 will work fine with any version as low as 1.4.7-R1.0. The plugin is written with backward compatibility in mind, I just unknowingly broke the compatibility with the latest Bukkit API changes.

Yes, unfortunately the only way to receive messages back from the receiving server is by enabling socket comms (a two-way communication). It's not needed to use BungeeCord, but it provides you with the commands response, such as "You do not have permission to execute this command", as opposed to simply sending the command and hoping for the best.

Yeah, I ended up going to build #102, working great so far =) One thing tho, had a hard time linking BungeeCord portals when I didn't have the right permissions on the portal server, got no message about missing the permission, but the portal didn't point anywhere. Got it fixed tho ^^

You're absolutely right. 1.5.2 support broke when updating to no longer use magic numbers.

It was fixed in build #102 (see development builds link above), I just haven't uploaded a newer release yet (was hoping for 1.7.2 to stablise sooner).

You have marked the latest version as working with 1.5.2, but it crashes due to missing Materials.CARPET(Added in 1.6).

Yes, use the following command: "/gate setmsg [id] [message]".

It is on the commands and permissions page above ;).

Thanks bro, this plugin is simple as i want and works fine. I'm actually using 1.6.4, so it's not a problem, but please keep the updates going, amazing plugin, my favorite of all.

But, is there any way to add customizable messages? I would appreciate a lot.

Never mind. It appears something was corrupt. I deleted the gate and recreated it and it is working now. Thanks!

Could you get me a screenshot of the gate frame (so I can reproduce it and its surroundings).

Send me (via PM if you like) your conf.json and gates.json files.

And any error logs that occur when it fail (if any do in fact exist).

I take it you're using 1.7.2-R0.1 and the latest development build?

I've built a frame and tried to use /gate addfrom tospawn

It keeps saying it failed and asking if I've built a frame. I've tried fames made from different materials and different orientations.

I have probably a dozen or so gates going to 'tospawn' but the error happens when I try to open the gates.

I can confirm this is a 1.7.2-R0.1 bug, I've just seen it for myself, almost instantly after creating one.

I shall raise an issue on the Bukkit bug tracker. 1.7.2-R0.1 is the first dev build, so it doesn't surprise me that some functionality is broken.

Use the substitution variable %p. This will be replaced with the players name when executed.

I ought to have documented this, I do apologise.

I can't be certain if this is only 1.7.2-R0.1. This plugin and the many portals came online online with 1.7.2.

Since that initial report, I saw it once with a cobweb portal too. The reeds were just more noticable... actually dropping a reed item. To fix the cobweb portal, I closed it (the cobweb remained) then I hacked it away with a sword and opened the gate again.

Hello, I was wondering how you would portray a player in a command gate? Let's just say I need the console to execute "random-tp <playername>", how would I replace the "<playername>" with the player's name?
