Getting around a large world

[sn0wb3ar]

So yesterday I went and logged in to that Whyteworld server and took a look up close and personal at that gigantic collesium, however that's not the point of this post, just some background.

They have a very nice portal/stargate system in there. It uses an obsidian portal with a special sign on the left side of the entrance. By right-clicking the sign it scrolls through the available destinations. When you find the one you want you click a stone button on the right side of the portal entrance to activate the portal. Then step in and poof, you're there!

I thought that was a pretty nice way of doing it. Not sure what mod it is. I might go back in there tonight and see if the mods are listed anywhere.

I know it's been mentioned before, but I just wanted to suggest it again. It would be nice to have a public portal system like that in place on our server to make the constant "tp me, tp me, tp me" requests a little less necessary. The minecarts are fun and a great way to site see, but can take too long if you are trying to get back to a project way out in the wilderness. Not to mention the only ones able to really make the minecart system between "towns" are the people who can /give themselves all the track/redstone/cobble necessary.

If you could find the plugin name, that would be awesome. If not, I have another less efficient one that should work.

Haven't been able to log in to the Whyteworld server tonight but I did some digging online and this looks like the exact same thing they use. Looks like an hMod plugin though. :-P

hMod Stargate

This, on the other hand, is a bukkit plugin and even has the Stargate type event horizon splash. *lol*

The stargate portals are awesome.

looks awesome. I can't wait to start building gates!

For network, make sure to use Central or your own username.

[sn0wb3ar]

Yeah I made three gates. one in the VIP room of my tavern at Spawn, one at the Oasis and one at the spot Fuzzy and I had picked for some kind of project (which is kinda on hold at the moment). Although there is a pretty awesome dunk tank there now. *lol*

They are all on my username network. If that turns out to be private only to me I may change them to the Central network.

Is there a limit to how many gates can be on one network?

I'm so glad this was put in. makes things so miuch easier to build
