Add cameras to monitor your server!

What is it?
CCTV Cameras is a plugin developed by sayaad as an attempt to fulfil this plugin requests.
How Does it work?
This goes by the workaround that dibujaron taught of. That is, you create a screen and a camera then rightclick the screen to teleport to the respective camera.
There are 2 types of cameras :
- Dispenser Cameras - These use the dispenser block (because they look like cameras to us) as the camera screen. The direction the dispenser is faceing when you teleport to it. If you attempt to look to a diffrent side, you get teleported to the correct side and, for both types of cameras, if you attempt to move/break blocks/interact/hurt players, the action in undone.
- 360 Cameras - Unlike the dispenser cameras, these cameras can be any block type specified in the config and allows for a 360 view of the environment.
When you teleport to a camera you cannot interact with the environment. You will be inside of a glass block which gives a nice black block outline as to a real camera screen.
Features
- No Spout Needed!
- Configurable whether only the player created the camera-screen links can use them. Configurable camera block ids and screen block ids.
- Multi world support (screens can be in different world than cameras)
- Ability for players to see who is in a camera while viewing them.
- Creation wizard to avoid misconfigurations.
Commands and How To's
<> = required [] = optional
- /cctv create camera <camera name> - Enter camera creation mode. USE THIS COMMAND FIRST. After entering the command, left click your eligible camera block (default : dispensers, sponges, obsidian). If you screw up, the plugin will detect it.
- /cctv create screen <screen name> - Enter screen creation mode. USE THIS COMMAND AFTER CREATING CAMERA. Right-click eligible screen block to create a screen (default : Black wool, Grey Wool).
- /cctv link [camera name] [screen name] - Links the two. Use this AFTER you entered the above two commands. ^
After you link the two, you may right click the screen to teleport to the camera. When you are in the camera, you rightclick to exit it.
- /cctv modify [param] [true | false] - modifies the camera not linked yet. Params : public - when true, anyone can use the camera.
- /cctv delete link - Enter Link deletion mode. (You cannot delete a link that is not yours).
Note : You Rightclick to exit the camera.

Posted Jan 29, 2014Works fine with 1.7.2
Usually you should be in the air (fly) when watching screen, to avoid bugs.

Even if I used advanced methods of ASM to override loaded and modify bukkit myself, I wouldn't be able to change what the client renders. It's impossible, and this is a suitable alternative.
