Home Stations

Table of Contents

HomeStations offers home <-> spawn teleportation via special "stations" built by anyone in the world. This is a nice alternative to the common /home plugins, but without the need for players to use commands.

A station is a special structure built like shown on the following image:
Note, that while a station has to be built like this, you can make the station prettier by building something around, just the way you like it.
You could for example place some glowstone around or have some sort of podium with stairs around the emerald block.
The layout of those stations is not (yet) configureable.

The structure of a station.

As Admin

As admin you can build any number of those stations at certain points of interest on your server and then define them as Spawn-Stations by standing on the emerald block and typing /homestations addSpawn. Players will be able to teleport from those Spawn-Stations to their individual Home-Station, and players can select one of those Spawn-Stations as their personal Spawn-Station by pressing the lower button on it. They will then be able to teleport to this individually selected Spawn-Station from any other non-spawn station (including from their personal Home-Station).
Additionally server admins can define one Main-Spawn-Station via command. Players will teleport to this Spawn-Station whenever they have not defined a personal Spawn-Station yet.

As Player

Players can build any number of stations wherever they want in the world. They will be able to teleport from those stations to their individually selected Spawn-Station (or the Main-Spawn-Station defined by an admin, if no individual Spawn-Station was selected yet).
However, players can only select one of those stations as their individual Home-Station by pressing the lower button on that station. They will then be able to teleport from any Spawn-Station back to this specific Home-Station.
Teleporting works by simply pressing the upper button on a station.

Commands

Aliases for "homestations" are: "homestation", "hs"
/homestations addSpawn - Defines a normal station as spawn station.
/homestations setMainSpawn - Defines the main spawn station. It doesn't matter if this station was a spawn station already before.

Permissions

homestation.use - Allows using of those stations.
homestation.admin - Allows defining of spawn stations and setting of the main spawn station.

HomeStations v1.8 for MC 1.11, 1.12

Built with java 1.8 from now on!

Internal: Refactored Vault economy hooking.

Added: Confirmation messages for when players set their home or spawn station. This can be disabled by clearing the corresponding confirmation messages

Built against Bukkit / Spigot 1.11 now. Will not work on versions below 1.11!

Fixed: Firework particle effects not visible on MC 1.11 and 1.12.

Internal: Updated project website link.

Changed: The default upward effect range was reduced from 255 to 80.

Also I fixed the project description (broken image links, etc.), changed the license to be more permissive, added a link to the source code on github and moved the issues over to github as well.

It happens very often that special newer players (but also olders on the servers) press the lower button "unwnated" on an other spawnstation of an other player instead of upper button, without wanting to set at new station. it also happend a few times to me, specialy at the beginning of using the plugins :D

Is there a way to create a "confirmation?" like type //homestations confirm to confirm the setting of this Station as your Homestation? (afer pressing the lower button)

i know, normaly your not adding Ads or new thigns to this plugin anymore. but it still would be a good thing to prevent this problem.. i dont think im the only one that has this problem with its users? or am i? :D

But finnaly this little ad could prevent this whole problem :D

In reply to CloudeLecaw:

The whole point of this plugin / of using buttons was to avoid using commands.. Hmm.

I could add a message asking for confirmation and then requiring another button press to confirm. Especially as buttons seem to have a short delay between subsequent presses, it should not be possible to accidentially press the same button twice in quick succession. So this might actually be good enough.

I will look into it once I find some time. But better create a ticket so I don't forget.

In reply to blablubbabc:

a button to confrim or a buttoncombination is also i great idea.

The homestations would not need a "third button for this" What about: Pressing the lower button, then a text in chat that tells them to press the lower button two times to confirm setting... or something like that.. if someone press the lower that offten (all to gether 3 times then) it normaly should be a clear thing that he really wants to set his home (specialy after the information and info to confirm it with twice clicking)

i love it when players can play on the server and use all without using commands <3

v1.7

Added optional support for vault economy based teleport costs. The costs are globally the same, for all home and spawn station, and are ignoring the teleporting direction (so teleporting from home to spawn costs the same as the other way around).
You can also configure it to use negative teleporting costs (giving money on teleports instead). However, as there is only one set of messages, you will have to update the messages in case you want to use this.
Changed how the messages are stored. This should make editing messages easier due to less inner yaml sections. Old messages get imported.
Added support for newline characters in messages for creating multi-line messages.
Added support for disabling certain messages by setting them empty.
You can disable the teleport cost confirmations by setting the according message empty.
Added messages for when a player teleports home or to a spawn station.
Changed the default messages to use some more colors and multi-line messages at certain situations. In case you are updating and want to use the new messages, you will have to remove your old messages and let it regenerate the default messages.
Changed how the firework effects are played: Now using pure bukkit api functionality.

Feel free to send in pull request. However, I don't plan to accept pull requests which rely on other plugins, or introduce MySQL. You could however create pull request for any sort of API methods you need in order to do those integrations with other plugins in a separate 'add-on'-plugin.

Hey blablubbabc ^^

If you're not going to develop this plugin right now, could you release the source on GitHub? I'd love to send some PRs like commands for setting player stations with a location, BetonQuest events/conditions/objectives, MySQL support etc.

v1.6

Player data is now saved using the player's unique id. The old player data gets imported once the player joins the server for the first time after this update. After importing, the old player data gets removed.

I recommend you to backup your old player data before running this version, just in case something doesn't work as expected and you don't want your players to have to re-select their spawn-/home-stations.

@CloudeLecaw

I am not working much on this plugin. I currently have no plans to work on new features for this plugin, sorry..

I'd like to report a bug. Players before version 1.3 had only one set of coordinates in their files in PlayerData folder. The plugin works perfectly for them. But when somebody changes his home station or chooses a spawn station (basicly when player data is modified for the first time at newer version) the plugin adds second set of coordinates to the file (or "not set"). That's when a bug appears. If such player logs out and then logs in he can't teleport to his home station. The plugin seems to not be able to read the player's file when it contains more than one station saved. It works only when the player data is loaded to memory.

@blablubbabc

Thank you very much ^^

Players can teleport to their home and from there to the right spawn station though. And for people who are using this for some adventure maps, they can simply stay with older versions. Once again thank you.

v1.3

Each player can now select his spawn station by clicking the lower button of a spawn station. Spawn stations can no longer work as home station. If the player has no spawn station selected yet, he will teleport to the main spawn station.
Added some new messages and change some old ones.
Might have slightly changed the default firework effect.

@Co0sh

Players can no longer teleport from one spawn station to another by this change though. That's why I didn't change this earlier: I wanted to think about it a bit more before changing this behavior.

When can I expect an update with this feature? I already have several villages on my server and I need it to develop full RPG experience. I would really appreciate if you would add this soon.

Could you make it so a player can choose his spawn station? An admin could set up several spawns and players could choose which one to use by pressing lower button. Now it would only set home in spawn station. I need this feature to let players choose which village they want to spawn in.

You can't detect the building of them, but I could add a setting to disable using of them in certain worlds (ignoring button presses then).

Great idea, might use on an adventure map as a checkpoint system.

If I created a "spawn" station and another station with button on it a bit into the map. Could users just click the button on that station to set their home there. How could I prevent the users from building these stations themselves in the other worlds on my server so that this would be reserved for just the adventure map.
