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.

Delete the CCTV Camera folder in your plugins folder OR delete the Links.txt file located in the Data folder in the CCTV Camera folder before updating if specified.
when I made the screen and linked it to the camera I right clicked the screen and nothing happened but I did all the steps.
Will you update the plugin to 1.10 at all?
@henkhetbeest
There is three-ish possible ways this could occur. All of them are either very hard to do or expensive.
1. The plugin summons a bot account specifically designated for this, and they log on and view the camera perspective.
2. The plugin keeps track of everything that happens nearby the camera and lets the camera operator view the log
3. An application is designed to interpret that data and render a video from the camera's perspective
@DannyPokemon
Could you make an option that the camera will record everything? I'd really like that!
Thanks in advance!
Hi, can you update this plugin also with recording option?
This plugin is pretty much finished, and it works great in 1.8.9 (confirmed)
@Chris2fourlaw
If it works in 1.8, guys it should work in 1.7.2R0.2
Confirming that this works in Spigot 1.8
can someone make it for 1.7.10
@sayaad
Can't you just abandon it, then, and let someone else continue development on it?
1.7.2 R0.2 please
@IHazFury
Sigh... I'm not to sure about this. I'm unhappy with how inefficient I first made it. It needs a complete recode and I never got the time to even start on programming it over from scratch.
I made this project for fun, not to gain publicity or anything like that. It turned out to be more popular than expected. I don't know if I can manage such a popular plugin with Minecraft's constant updates.
I don't even play Minecraft anymore...
Guys, settle down. He is a very busy man and has many projects. A new version is expected, but not out yet. Just wait.
Please update for 1.7.5
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE TO 1.7.2!!! THIS PLUGIN LOOKS AMAZING AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT!!
