DragonTravel

Table of Contents

DragonTravel gives players the opportunity to ride dragons in Minecraft.
It offers server-admins the possibility to add a new outstanding way of travel to their servers.

More videos on DragonTravel (including tutorials)

Features:

Allows admins to set destinations for the dragons.
Allows players with the specific permission to summon and mount a dragon and...
...fly flights which consists out of waypoints(as many as you like)
...fly to destinations which have been set by an admin before.
...fly to coordinates chosen via command.
...fly to players choosen via command(different permission-nodes for other types of travel).
...fly to your faction's home-position (Factions required)
...fly to your town's spawn (Towny required)
...fly to a home-position which has been set by this player earlier.
Allows admins to set stations and limit the mounting of dragons to these locations (or a specified radius around it).
Possibility to require a special item for players to use the plugin (e.g. a dragon-egg)
Making signs which automatically mount a player and bring them to the written destination on the sign.
Permissions-Support
Support of all Economy-Plugins supported by Vault (Vault is required for that)!
Admins can set different prices for all ways of travel!
Admins can choose in the config whether dragons of this plugin should destroy blocks or if any dragons should break blocks when touching.
All messages are fully customizable! Default messages.yml is English, but we provide German and French language files as well.

Due to the fact that things can change rapidly in this project, I stopped maintaining instructions on the plugin and other information like a list of commands/permissions in the forums, on this page etc. and decided to create a central location where you can always find all information up-to-date: The DragonTravel-Wiki.

Please use this wiki and report all mistakes you find in there and avoid posting questions on topics like commands/permissions/sign-creation etc., which are answered in the wiki, in the comments.

Contribute on GitHub

The questions and requests posted in the comments are repeating and there are some questions we answer at least once per week, so we decided to write down some of those Frequently Asked Questions.
Please read the questions below and see if you can find your question there, this really saves us time we can then spend on the development of DragonTravel.

Is it possible to change the speed the dragon's wings are flapping?
Is it possible to remove the dragon's health-bar?
Is it possible to control the dragon manually?
Is it possible to move the rider closer to the dragon to avoid him flying above it?
DragonTravel does not start, what can be the problem?

You can find the answers to those questions in the FAQ!

Please read the paragraph above before posting any questions!

That was what I thought I could do as a workaround, but this would require a change of the travel-system, so I searched for a different possibility first.
It seems that changing the direction of movement is the only way to achieve a re-render of the dragon of the client-side and I guess this will "force" me to do so. :)

All other points on my ToDo-list except interworld-travel, the PermissionHandler and a smoother flight-path are done, so I need to work on those last points and then go into the Alpha of the "new DragonTravel". :)

Don't know if you have tried this yet .. but I was thinking that being the dragon turns the correct direction on the first turn on a flight path .. would you be able to make it so that when starting a travel you could have the dragon fly like 1 to 5 blocks north (any direction) and then turn to go to the destination .. would this fix the problem of the dragon facing the wrong direction?

The you are running v1.8.8.2.3, the version which works for CB 1.5.2, under CB 1.5.1.
DragonTravel-versions only work with ONE version of CraftBukkit.

You could either update your server to 1.5.2 or downgrade DragonTravel to v1.8.8.2.2. :)

Yes, the problem is that DragonTravel first spawns a dragon and then tells it to turn around to face the correct direction, but the client doesn't recognize that. When using flights, you can see that this works perfectly from the first waypoint on because in the moment the direction of movement changes, the dragon is also rendered again and shows the correct behaviour. :)

I have found that if you place the signs so the players are facing the direction of travel the dragons will face the correct direction.

I already stated several times that the dragon is rendered client-side, so I cannot influence the way the dragon moves. -.-

@Thechegga I only see one problem concerning permissions. I didn't use Citizens for a long time, if the plugin uses a command, as which player is it fired or is it firee by the server itself? I want to avoid that a problem occurs because NPCs and insufficient permissions. :)

I also planned to implement an API which allows other plugins to directly use travels and flights. :)

@GermanMataro I couldn't find the mistake, but I only had 15 minutes, so I will take a closer look at the prblem on Monday.

@Thechegga No, this isn't possible yet, but the idea isn't bad, I might add that in the new version. :)

Dafuq, I really forgot that I added Itempayment-support?! :D

I will take a look at it after the weekend, I'm only a few hours at home until Monday.

Did you use DragonTravel WITH Item-Payment in the past? I only want to know which was the last version in which Item-Payment worked. :)

config file:

# -----------------------------
# ------->Economy Stuff<-------
# -----------------------------

# Make players pay for travels
UsePayment: true

# Possible settings 'Economy' or 'Items'
# You must have >Vault< installed to use 'Economy'!
System: 'Economy'

# ID of the item you want your players to pay with for travels.
PaymentItem: 1

# This cost is withdrawn when a player executes a command.
# If a player uses a sign, the cost on the sign will be withdrawn.
# Choose the amount of money/items a normal travel costs.
PayTravel:
Economy: 5.0
Item: 1

etc....

If create a sign with the cost - error: Economy system isn't acivate. Please leave the 4th line empty.

Which "System Items" do you mean?! o.O
Do you mean the "Require an item to use DragonTravel"-feature?

Concerning the economy, please tell me about your config, I guess there is a problem with it.
Did you set"Economy" to "true" and prices for the types of travel?

Due to the fact that the new version of DragonTravel is currently in work and the old version's code is quite obsolete, I try to minimize work on the old code. ;)
