DragonTravel
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.
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!
@Adkos: Okay, enjoy it. ;)
@erdrickk: I can only repeat what XemsDoom said: I guess the hoster is simply not willing to install the latest Java-build, Java is mostly downwards-compatible, so there is no negative point about updating!
@leonhunter: Sure, we only coded the plugin this way to irritate you, we have nothing else to do in our spare-time... Are you kidding us?! We spent quite some time on this and the way it is handled now is the best way we could find! We didn't expect that there could be GSPs who aren't willing to update Java because I'm working at Nitrado, a really big Minecraftserver-Hoster, and we ARE running Java7 without any negative effects!!
@XemsDoom : I've completly forgot the batch file, and yeah... was still running it with java 6. Thanks a lot for remind me that, works like a charm :)
(run far away and start riding a Dragon :D )
@Adkos
Please use a craftbukkit build for Minecraft 1.1. Download: http://repo.bukkit.org/content/groups/repo/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/1.1-R1-SNAPSHOT/craftbukkit-1.1-R1-20120112.222147-1.jar
Also, if you are running the server on your pc, make sure to change the settings in the batch file, because maybe you are still loading it with java 6.
Ok... using JRE 7 AND Java 1.7, I'm still having the error... what's wrong ? Using bukkit recommended build 1.0.1 R1
@erdrickk
To be honest, I would be pissed about such a lazy/stupide respond, change hoster.
@XemsDoom
Well... I asked my Host and I got this response...
---- You would need to go with an unmanaged VDS to get the ability to run custom Java scripts. We have to run what is best for everyone. I am sorry.-----This is the first time NFO has annoyed me a bit..... ah well, too bad, I really wanted to use this plugin. Such as life.
@leonhunter
7 has improved speed and stability (the gains are not that big but they are there)
and if it is required its required, simple as that, you cant ask an author that does something like this for no charge at all to chaneg their design model to suit lazy hosts, installing jre7 is harmless and has almost no effect on plugin compatability (backwards) and if installed by itself with the correct bit version (32 or 64) u dont even need to specify paths and crap like that (woops off subject) point is it wont hurt anything and is an improvement that is more than worth the small effort to upgrade and people to request jre7 (im talking from windows user btw, in *nix and mac u proabbly may have to specify full paths to the jre)
when something is in demand they usually will supply
EDIT: this is information that should be directed at your host, not at you, sorry, but the main thing is there, make requests get other ppl to request, see if it helps, but please dont call it retarded or assume the author is just trying to be "mr cutting-edge" jre7 is an improvement over jre6 and it would be rather stupid for a developer to not take advantage of this
There is a reason, otherwhise, I would not build for it.
We are using switch statments which are using strings, in java 6 you can not do that.
We would have to change our command system again and we would loose much
overview over the command codes. Using java 7 on my own hoster, Nitrado.
Got almost all plugins erdrikk has and we got no problems with java 7.
Your hosters are too lazy and should get a clap, if you want to have a java 7 JRE, then
they must install it. And surely there are other plugins out there using java 7,
the Multicaft panel will not break only because using another JRE.
Hi Guys,
Having the same issue as the previous guy, my server provider (Quadeye) doesn't use Java 1.7 because it isn't the recommended version by Multicraft (the server control panel most GSPs use) nor does minecraft itself use it.
PLEASE use Java 1.6 or 1.5. Using 1.7 for no apparent reason other than being the latest is retarded.
So I made the request to my host and got this...
--------Requiring 1.7 is somewhat ridiculous as Minecraft is 1.5 ready (For Mac). We have 1.6 installed because this is probably the only 1.7 only plugin that I've seen so far.--------I agree - I have never seen a plugin require 1.7 myself either and I have run hundreds of plugins over my time.
If you can re-code it for 1.6 that would be amazing. If not, I will move on but I am sure you are going to find this complaint very very common
@erdrickk
We could code for java 1.6 or you could ask your hoster to install that runtime environment, to be honest, they must update the JRT, if you wish to do so, there are also other plugins which use that JRT.
But let me also try to build for java 6.
@XemsDoom
huh? JRT? my server is hosted by NFO (Nuclear fallout) I won't be able to change anything.
Anyways to make it work normally? I run like 60+ other plugins and non of them require this change you speak of.
thanks for the continuing help, I appreciate this - I would LOVE to use your plugin
@erdrickk
Gotcha found out the problem, you have to use a JRT running Java 1.7!
@Adamchrisp
Than show me an error occuring, use www.pastebin.com

If I start up a craftbukkit server only with DragonTravel 1.0 and Spout 693, spout will throw an exception/error on Build 1713.
Last suggestion, remove the folder of DragonTravel completly and test a server only with DragonTrabvel 1.0 and CB 1713. It works for me without any problems.
I would like maybe a teamview instance? add me on skype so we can handle the problem: "mosertone" is my skype id.
Hello I'd just like to say the plugin is not working for me either :( the alpha version worked fine but since trying this beta version it doesn't show up in plugins list. Does it require another plugin now to work? I have the latest version of Vault running. Hope it gets fixed soon its an awesome plugin!
@Phiwa
Yep, I clicked download and downloaded the latest version - same error. Could it be one of my plugins conflicting with yours?
With the version you find under "Download" right now?! Please try to redownload it right now,the new version has been approved and should have fixed it... o.O
Still doesn't work - same exact error as I pasted below
Please report all further bugs and problems using the Ticket-Tracker, this makes it much easier for us to find and fix the bugs!
