Downloads
I'm too lazy to upload TARDIS files to Bukkit anymore, as builds are automatically created when the plugin is updated and changes pushed to GitHub.
Version specific downloads can be found here: https://tardis.pages.dev/download
Please make sure you are using the latest Spigot/Paper builds (for the Minecraft version you are running) before installing TARDIS or creating an issue!
What it does
TARDIS is a plugin that gives you the ability to create a Police Box that lets you time travel (teleport) to random locations. It adds a Whovian twist to the typical /sethome and /home commands.
As a player, you can:
- Create a TARDIS that is bigger on the inside.
- Time travel to a random location.
- Time travel back home (where you created the TARDIS initially).
- Save and list interesting time travel locations, so you can return to them easily.
- Take companions with you when you time travel.
- Make your TARDIS blend in with the Chameleon Circuit.
- Use your own schematic to build the TARDIS interior
- Grow new TARDIS rooms
- Use Artron Energy
- Remote control the TARDIS
- Custom TARDIS sounds with companion Resource Pack
- Custom TARDIS textures with companion Resource Pack
Official documentation & FAQs
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

Installation
As a minimum, just drop the TARDIS.jar, TARDISChunkGenerator.jar (look under Additional Files on the download page) and any optional plugins listed below into the Bukkit plugins folder and start your server. For more detailed instructions see: https://tardis.pages.dev/installation-v5
Optional installs
These are not needed for TARDIS to function, but enhance the plugin with extra features...
- Install the TARDIS-SoundResourcePack in the Minecraft client to hear custom TARDIS sounds
- Install the TARDIS-Resource-Pack to see aal the fancy textures and models (requires TARDIS v4.2 or higher).
- Install the TARDISChunkGenerator plugin so that you can generate TARDISes in their own self-contained world (included on the TARDIS plugin download page under Additional files).
- Install WorldGuard to automatically protect your TARDIS from griefing, and stop mobs spawning in TARDIS worlds.
- Install TARDISWeepingAngels to add some Whovian mobs to the game.
- Install a Permissions plugin, so that you can restrict or grant players the rights to use TARDIS’ different features. We like PermissionsBukkit.

Bugs / Requests
Please post a ticket for TARDIS plugin requests and bugs, thank you :)
WARNING: I am no longer prepared to waste my time looking at incomplete tickets. If your ticket does not follow the guidelines set out below, it will be deleted immediately!
Make sure you have read the FAQs first, as your question may already be answered there. Also make sure you have searched for a previous ticket with the same/similar issue (use the Filters to search closed tickets).
If you are going to create a BUG ticket you need to supply relevant information (as I'm not a mind reader, nor do I have access to your server...) - as a minimum you need:
- Exact CraftBukkit version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the
/tardis versioncommand if possible, otherwise copy from server log - Exact TARDIS version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the
/tardis versioncommand if possible, otherwise copy from server log - The server log showing the entire error (as a paste or at Pastebin - NOT a screenshot) - this should be the log from when the server starts up right through to when the error occurs
- If no error in the log, then a video of the bug happening or the EXACT steps needed to reproduce the issue.
- Attach your plugins/TARDIS/config.yml file or other configuration file if relevant
- Attach your plugins/TARDIS/TARDIS.db file if relevant
- List of other plugins on server
Stats
Basic statistics are collected for some versions of the TARDIS plugin (v2.5.8 and earlier). You can opt out at any time by setting opt-out: true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml
External web access
Version 2.8 (and higher) of this plugin includes a translation feature (the /tardissay command) that connects to the Lingva translation service.
You can prevent players from using the command by removing / not giving them the permission tardis.translate

I've tried various db file editors and can't seem to figure out how to edit any DB file at all. It's like it gives me "how the db is set up" but I can never find any info in the database file itself about who has what saved.
What is the best DB editor out there? (This can go farther than just for this issue, btw)
EDIT: I prefer Linux, so any app for db files you can think of would be good. (I use Sqliteman, but I can't seem to edit anything saved.)

Already coded a check for no name - though general rule of thumb - "if at first you don't succeed, read the instructions"...
You also have to remember that you're running an incomplete development version, so should expect to have to start fresh a few times as bugs are ironed out... Though you could have just opened the database and deleted or named the offending record manually.

You're not running Craftbukkit 1.7.10... And as stated use a paste or pastebin to post logs, and when you do you need to post the whole log not just a part of it

Okay I didn't enter a save name for the location via GUI, and that might be the problem. Is there any way to add a "you forgot to give it a name" message? Or maybe a "please name this save" in the text area so the "can't delete" issue doesn't come up?
But you're right, I was forgetting to enter a name. The one I set that had no label cannot be removed at all. I've had to delete the VM folder to get a clean slate. Is there an easier way?

As I said in my last comment, no problems saving a location via the GUI either, perhaps you need to peruse the help?

Everything you did in the video works fine. But saving in-GUI doesn't allow custom names for the save point, it just goes "world:coord" or whatever. That's the ones that will not load. Going by commands it works fine, but GUI loading a GUI saved location doesn't work at all. I've removed and retried a few times, and same result each time. Again, no errors at all.

Yeah it's still doing the same thing here. Maybe I did something wrong. I figured it was just save then load. Not sure what the deal is.
It seems that /vms [name] works for saving and going, but only if it's via /vms. When using the interface, it defaults saved location names to "Dirt" and the name of /vms list of saves has it as a long ass name with world and coord put in.

Yeah, I updated it when I saw it on there.
Yes, plenty of energy.
EDIT: It's not going to or deleting saves only if you use the interface to save.
