- Create Portals
Create as much portals as needed and don't run so much around anymore! - Multiple signs for one destiny
Create ten or twenty or how much you need FROM-portals - and one TO-portal! - Homepoints through signs
Create a homepoint and let your friends travel to it - or let them fall into the void! *hehehe*
HowTo create portals?
- Craft two signs

- Type "[Portal]" in second line
- Enter a name in the third line
- And write "FROM" in the fourth line
- Place the second sign where you want to be teleported to
- Don't write anything in the first line
- Type "[Portal]" in second line
- Name it like the first sign
- And write "TO" in the fourth line
That's it. Now right-click the first sign to be teleported.
You can also place more signs to be teleported from, just label them similar.
HowTo create home-portals?

Bugfixing
- You're plugin is not working!
It works. Believe it. - I get errors!
Destroy the portals, delete the 'SignPortals' folder and try it again :)
For errors, use the ticket-function please.
Don't just write "XYZ is not working. HELP ME!"
How do I ... ?
All files are stored in the "plugins\PortalSigns\" folder.
- ... reset my portals?
First delete all portals ingame and then delete the "Portal.PS" file.
For specific portals open the "Portals.PS" file and delete them.
- ... edit the messages?
Open the "Config.Ps" file and edit them.
Take a look at the "Configuration" page here!
- ... report bugs the right way?
In your server log starts a line with "Caused by: ..." (If it's a real bug)
I just need the "Caused by: ..." and its following lines.

Update Notes
Version 1.7.2 Release 1 EX1 (should work with 1.7.2 and higher):
- First attempt to solve lag
Version 1.7.2 Release 1 (should work with 1.7.2 and higher):
- Compiled with 1.7.2, please report errors to me! :)
Version 1.6.4 Release 3 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- You can now create permission-based portals!
-> With TO-FROM: Set the first line of the TO-Sign to any permission you want and prevent people without permission to teleport to it!
-> With TWO-WAY: Set the first line of one of the signs to any permission you want (the second one will update itself)
Version 1.6.4 Release 2 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- Had to remove version-checking
Version 1.6.4 Release 1 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- This is more like a test if it still works. Because people sometimes think plugins won't work with higher versions :)
- fixed a bug, where the message wouldn't show when you place a home-portal and the target player has no home
Version 1.5.2 Release 6 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed (again :( ... I'm sorry!)
Version 1.5.2 Release 5 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed
Version 1.5.2 Release 4 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- Plugin checks on startup / reload, if theres is a new version available!
- New config options:
PLAYER_PERMISSION_MISSING: Displayed, when a is missing a permission to do something
PORTAL_CREATION_BLOCK_COST: Displayed, when under a placed sign no "PortalCreationCostBlockID" is
VersionCheck (default: true): if true, the plugin sends OPs on login a message if a new version is available
SyncStorageFiles (default: false): if true, the plugin checks on startup (or reload) if the stored sign-values still exist in the world
PortalCreationCostBlockID (default: null): if set to a value, there has to be the block with this id under a sign to create a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 3:
- On startup or reload, the plugin checks now if the portals still exist
- Messages are now a little bit more fancy :)
- Add permission / op check:
PortalCreationRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to create a portal
PortalUsageRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to use a portal
PortalDestructionRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to break a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 2

- Also, less chat messages! (Before there were 3 messages on portal creation)
- Removed 4 Messages:

If you want to support me or keep me doing these things please donate, every single dollar or whatever helps me :)
I would like to use these signs like advanced portals. Perfect when you have 0 space.
Works with 1.11.2 spigot!
EDIT: Awe, it doesnt work across worlds. Id love this to also work with bungeeid's but worlds would be perfect!
Not Work This For Op Only -_-
@Locorunner21
If I feel like updating the mod, I'll add it.
But are there really still people using bukkit? Because it seems pretty dead to me ...
Portal Fee?
Just wondering, do you intend on making it possible to charge money to use portals?
That would be a really cool feature.
@zopn333
Please open a ticket and describe exactly what you did / how I can replicate the error :)
Dear Author: I've installed your plugin, but I met a strange problem. Why the "two-way" portal can teleport just once? After teleporting it says "not connected to other signs". Could you fix it?
It should be still working with 1.8 (hopefully).
Please test it and if it doesn't work, tell me, and I'll update it :)
Are you going to update this for 1.8?
@Pixiyo
Okay, I uploaded a second attempt. Maybe this will fix the lag :)
If not, maybe you could tell me your server setup (version, mods, etc) so I can test things myself (it's easier to fix it when I have the setup myself).
And Merry Christmas! :D
@LilLDeath
Didn't work though. Timings: http://timings.aikar.co/?url=9580937
Yeah, a backup of the signportal files should be enough :)
(Sorry for the late response D: )
@LilLDeath
Thank you for updateing! I can't risk any damage to the map. Is a backup of Signportals enough? ;)
Thanks
@Pixiyo
Hey!
Thanks for the report. I've taken a look and I may have found what caused the lag (there have been 2 IO-operations every time you hit a sign).
In about 24 hours from this post on you should be able to download 'SignPortals 1.7.2 R1 EX1' which is my first attempt to solve the lag. Please test it and backup your world before doing so!
Hey. Great plugin but got a big issue.
The plugin seems to cause lag on the server. After we've removed this plugin the lag seems gone. Here are the timings: http://timings.aikar.co/?url=8590777. Got another timing with SignPortals PCT 3% but lost it..
Thanks

"PortalCreationRestriction" only restricts the CREATION of portals.
What is "PortalUsageRestriction" set to and do they really have the "signportals.teleport" permission?
BTW, which Permission plugin do you use?
I have the latest version of signportals installed on my server and yet non-ops can't use the portals. When they click them they get the message "You are not allowed to do that!". I have PortalCreationRestriction set to false in the config and I am sure that they have direct access to the permission signportals.teleport. I have also tried reinstalling the plugin, but that proved unsuccessful. The server itself is the latest version of craftbukkit. Please help!
Based on which portal :) If you have TO/FROM portals, every FROM portal will link to the TO portal.
TWO-WAY portals will only work with 2 portals and link between them.
Well and home portals will link to a players home.
Sorry, but I don't know how to add plugins to dedicated servers :/
Where is the download link/ how do I download it if my server is hosted by MC Pro Hosting
If you have multiple portals, will the first one only be linked to the 2nd one, 3rd to 4th, 5th to 6th etc? If not how do you do that
Well, the only way ATM is to use "PortalUsageRestriction".
And every user who should be able to use it has to have the "signportals.teleport" permission.
If you want to, I could try to implement compability with other mods to make "Guild-Portals" (or something like that :D)
And good to hear that it is working :)
