Create NetherGate Plugin #35

Closed NathanWolf closed 13 years ago

NathanWolf commented 13 years ago

I'm going to create a plugin to mimik the original single-player Nether/gate experience as closely as possible.

Admins will create "Nether" areas underground, which can be use as portal hubs for the surrounding area, using a distance ratio formula similar to the orignal Nether.

Other than creating a Nether area, there will be no console commands, no signs required, and no UI of any other kind- just like the original Nether.

I'm hoping this will be a reasonably easy task thanks to Persistence, and it will be my first real time using Persistence in a plugin. So I'm hoping a lot will come out of it.

For now, I'll just this one issue for NetherGate- once it's mature enough to be functional, I can add additional bug and feature tickets as needed.

Putting this on hold, possibly indefinitely!

Dinnerbone is working on multi-world support, which will pretty much make this unnecessary.

Off of hold!

Now, the mission statement is actually a little broader- portals can either connect to a portal in a "PortalArea" (aka "Nether"), or a portal in another world (or, maybe, just to make things really complex, a PortalArea in another world!)

Each World and PortalArea can define its own scale, so the can be fast travel hubs, etc.

NetherGate is tha supa sweeet!

Going to start tracking issues for it individually, now that it's pretty mature.
