DiscoverWarps
What it does
DiscoverWarps is a simple Skyrim/RPG style warp/teleportation plugin that lets you warp to locations that you have previously discovered.
Features
- Use stone or wood pressure plates to set discovery points
- Plates are protected from griefing and explosions
- Simple to use
- Set auto-discoverable locations
- Set a cost to buy locations
- Use signs to warp to locations
- Created in response to this request: http:forums.bukkit.org/threads/wip-mech-teleportation-skyrim-traveling.112579/
Installation
Add the DiscoverWarps.jar file to your server's plugins directory and start up the server. Config and database files will be created automatically with the default values.
If you want to use the buying feature you will need to install Vault and the economy plugin of your choice (check the Vault page for supported plugins)
How it works
- Place a stone or wood pressure plate where you want the discovery point to be
- Stand on the pressure plate
- Make the plate a DiscoverPlate by typing
/dw set [name]
- Add as many DiscoverPlates as you want
- Players can show a list of DiscoverPlates by typing
/dw list
- If they have discovered one of the plates (by walking on it) it will be marked as VISITED - Once a player has discovered a DiscoverPlate, they can teleport to it by typing
/dw tp [name]
- Warp to a DiscoverPlate via a GUI (version 1.5.x or higher), type
/dw tp
(without specifying a name) to open the GUI
DiscoverWarp Signs
You can place signs that will warp you to the specified DiscoverWarp plates
- Place a sign
- On the first line type: [DiscoverWarp] - the text to type is configurable
- On the second line type the name of the warp to go to
- Click Done to finish editing the sign - if there is a cost for buying the location, it will be placed on line 3
A player will be warped to the location if:
- they have already discovered the location
- there is a cost set and the player has sufficient balance
WorldGuard region discovery
To set them up:
- Add your WorldGuard region in the usual way
- Add a discoverplate inside the region where you want the warp point to be
- Run the
/dw set [name]
command as usual - The plugin should auto-detect the WorldGuard region and add it to the database along with the plate location
- Get another player to test it out...
- You're done!
Commands
/dw set [name]
- turns the stone or wood pressure plate you are standing on into a DiscoverPlate/dw delete [name]
- removes the specified DiscoverPlate/dw disable [name]
- disables the specified DiscoverPlate/dw enable [name]
- enables the specified DiscoverPlate/dw cost [name] [amount]
- set the cost for a DiscoverPlate/dw auto [name]
- toggle auto-discovery true|false for a DiscoverPlate/dw allow_buying
- toggles allow_buying true|false - requires Vault and a server restart to hook in your economy plugin/dw xp_on_discover
- toggles xp_on_discover true|false/dw sign [text]
- sets the text to type between the square brackets[ ]
on a DiscoverWarps sign/dw list
- lists enabled DiscoverPlates and shows if they are visited/not visited/dw tp [name]
- teleports you to the specified DiscoverPlate, can now be used from the console:- You need to supply a
[player]
argument - so the command becomes:dw tp [name] [player]
- The player must have discovered the plate first, to override discovery, supply a fourth argument -
true
- the command now becomes:dw tp [name] [player] true
- You need to supply a
/dw buy [name]
- Buy the specified DiscoverPlate location

Source code
Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out
to true
UUID conversion
Versions 1.4 and higher of this plugin will connect to api.mojang.com to update player names in the database to UUIDs in order to support the upcoming name changes in Minecraft. It will do this one time only, when the server starts up after installing the new version of the plugin.
@AS1LV3RN1NJA
Haven't received any PMs...
PM'd with a bug report.
@eccentricnz
Cool, I'll try to, thanks.
@AS1LV3RN1NJA
I don't have time to do this at the moment, but the source code is freely available (linked above), feel free to code it yourself and submit a pull request :)
Would it be possible to set buy warps with items? for example, 10 diamonds?
I'd rather not add an economy plugin.
@Klosjaarrr
Stop server, edit, start server. DON'T reload.
@eccentricnz
Thanks :D I also have problems with the translating, whenever I insert new messages it resets them when the server restarts.. Not sure why, I tried editting them offline and uploading them with FTP but that doesn't work either.
@Klosjaarrr
Iron and Gold Pressure plates won't work as they are not activated by player's walking on them... I have added wood plates though :)
'null...' teleport message is because I messed up...
Uploading a new file now
(Would be cool also if we could use other pressure plates in future, especially the gold/iron one. Not sure if you are planning on adding support for multiple though). Any idea why I keep getting 'null...' as message on teleporting, where I should get 'Teleporting'?
@eccentricnz
I've implemented it into our server, thank you very much!
@stapleshotz
Not at this stage, bit hard to warp/teleport onto a button
Is it possible to use a different trigger besides the pressure plate like buttons or levers?
@Klosjaarrr
Here you go, file awaiting approval...
v1.2.2
%s
' is automatically replaced by the plugin with the appropriate text, they can be anywhere in the string, but do not remove them!@Klosjaarrr
Have started, but normal life interrupted...
@eccentricnz
How is it going? :D
@Klosjaarrr
Will have a go this weekend :)
Can you make a config file so we can change messages / prefix?
@ShiftyEG
Done, check the Files page
Any chance in /dw tp [name] case insensitive? /dw tp dorhill is considered not found when Dorhill exists.
Thanks! I had completely over-looked that XP So, what is in the idea-list for the next update?
