My fork - ownership of blocks, clans, teleports

[Staffs]

Hello after quite long break ;)

I'd merged placki's version and... I've added cool new teleport system (as cisoun suggested - they now work like PORTALS :D)

How it works? First, place 2 teleports somewhere. Second, connect them mutually. Third, try them :)

The best effect is when you place 2 'flying' horizontal teleports and jump from large altitude onto one :)

To make it working you must add this line to minetest.conf:

crafted_teleports = 2

There are some weird bugs so we need more testing! Placki, please try upgrading your server :)

*Second connect them mutually how is that ? how will it work ? I need more specific instructions so i can try it :/

[placki]

*Second connect them mutually how is that ? how will it work ? I need more specific instructions so i can try it :/

for example:
Build teleport A at 10,20,30 and teleport B at -23,-34,-45.
To connect/pair them you need to type "-23,-34,-45" as target for teleport A and "10,20,30" as target for teleport B.
Example of what jachoo said is visible at "placek" server:
There is high ladder near pyramid, if you jump into portal/teleport below you will exit flying up from other teleport - and will continue flying/jumping in "portal" fashion.
And nearby, near top of pyramid (outside) there are several teleports: if you fall into some, you will teleport higher and accelerate, after several loops you will have high speed. And due to lag you will finally fall out of that loop and get into teleport below, which will translate your vertical speed into horizontal for "long jump competition".

[hijera]

could someone build win32 version?

[Staffs]

Ok i just tried it .. Im out this is just too complicated for me. Very good work jachoo but it will be too hard for new players or players at all to underrstand this.... :/

[hijera]

whats about a bit easier system - just give every teleport id, so teleports with same id will be connected

[Staffs]

Yeah that would be A LOT easier cause i just dont know the co-ords of every teleport :/

[cisoun]

Yes, you better have to run the game in a terminal so when you put a teleporter somewhere, his correct position is printed in the output.
However, I agree the fact that teleporters should be connected by an ID otherwise it takes a lot of time to set them up correctly.
You should map the teleporters with their position in a vector or something like that so you can search a teleporter by it's position easily and then connect them to each others.

[jachoo]

We have to make decision. Possible options are:

1. General teleports. Teleport can aim any coords. When at the destination another teleport exists - it works like portal.
+ Very easy to use if you don't need portal features
+ General-purpose system. You can create everything you can imagine ;)
+ No need to introduce naming system for teleports
- By such teleports, player can get into hostile clan territory
- Hard and very uncomfortable to use if you want teleports work like portals or make two-way teleports

2. Paired two-way teleports. Each teleport pair has assigned unique ID.
+ The easiest to use
- Only two-way teleports permitted
- Impossible to make many teleports aim at one exit teleport
- Need to create naming system for teleports

3. Named teleports. Each teleport has two parameters. Its own name and name of destination teleport.
+ Compromise between 1. and 2
+ Almost general-purpose teleports (two-way and one-way portals)
+/- Less easy to use than 2., but still comfortable
- Need to create naming system for teleports

---------

I vote for 3 :)

[Menche]

I like #3. A few suggestions: if the destination is a coordinate set, it behaves like #1; otherwise, it assumes the destination is a teleport label and it behaves like #3. And, an optional "locked" or "private" parameter that prevents other clans' teleports from linking to it.

[jachoo]

I've started to implement all this propositions (as an option in config file). Last chance to give me other suggestions :)

[sdzen]

#3 is my vote

[cisoun]

#3 ftw

[Staffs]

#3 <--

[jachoo]

First, alpha version of teleport naming system is done.

When I was testing this, I got some weird errors... Please test it and report bugs.

Instructions:
1. Download latest source from github & compile
2. Add this lines to minetest.conf

teleport_allow_coords = 1
teleport_allow_oneway = 1

3. Run minetest and place somewhere few teleports. You have now 3 possibilities:
a) coords should work like before (unless teleport_allow_coords=0)
b) you can assign names to teleports (instead of coords you write just that name). Example: two teleports with name "myhouse" will be linked together.
c) you can define teleports name and destination separately (unless teleport_allow_oneway=0). Separator is "->". Example: write to teleport 1 text "->b", and to teleport 2 text "b->c", and to teleport 3 text "c->". Now they are linked in a sequence, where teleport 1 is only entrance, and teleport 2 is only exit.
4. Report bugs, please!

Enjoy!

Same thing here.

[jachoo]

Huh... :/ Maybe now?

[Menche]

Still happens. =(

[placki]

It reports no errors in utility.h after removing "typename" from declarations of stof_ex, stod_ex and stoi_ex.
But there are still other errors:
MT/j005/jachoo-minetest-jachoo-38e6a39-SRV/src/map.cpp: In member function 'void Map::removeNodeAndUpdate(v3s16, irr::core::map<irr::core::vector3d<short int>, MapBlock*>&)':

[jachoo]

I hate it. Now?

See that I must buy a new disk and install gcc...

[Menche]

Yay! It works! There's alot of errors during compiling but it builds fine and everything seems to work.

[jachoo]

What errors? Please upload them :)

What about runtime errorrs? On Windows I got tons of sigsegvs :/// And don't have any idea what's wrong :/ Maybe it's something with Irrlicht or original minetest code... Or concurrent data writes... Debugging gives no help :/

-------

Also there is need to save teleports' info to sqlite... I don't know how to do this, can anyone help? Now I'm saving it as string in map_meta.txt, but for hundreds of teleports it will be very slow :/

I'm going on leave tomorrow, so I won't code for a few days.

I've uploaded what I already have, including some new not well-tested features (improved block selection method and crouching - by 'c' key).

Please test and comment. (Hope it compiles on linux...)

Enjoy!

[placki]

I have idea for feature: as there are clans, there should be "clan chat" - ability to send messages visible only by clan members.

[kirtash1197]

Oh good! I compiling it and i tested the portals and the clans system. All run perfectly. i'm using GNU/Linux (Ubuntu). Will this function implemented in Minetest 0.3.2?

[cisoun]

kirtash1197: If you're talking about the official branch, it must first be accepted by celeron55. (And I hope it will be!)
