TARDIS

What it does

TARDIS is a plugin that gives you the ability to create a Police Box that lets you time travel (teleport) to random locations. It adds a Whovian twist to the typical /sethome and /home commands.

As a player, you can:

• Create a TARDIS that is bigger on the inside.
• Time travel to a random location.
• Time travel back home (where you created the TARDIS initially).
• Save and list interesting time travel locations, so you can return to them easily.
• Take companions with you when you time travel.
• Make your TARDIS blend in with the Chameleon Circuit.
• Use your own schematic to build the TARDIS interior
• Grow new TARDIS rooms
• Use Artron Energy
• Remote control the TARDIS

What's new?

v2.2-beta-1

• Updated for CraftBukkit 1.5.1-R0.1
• You can now save a list of TARDIS Police Box locations on your server to a text file with the command /tardisadmin list save
• Interior sounds used by the Spout plugin have been updated to newer more 'atmospheric' ones
• Added a Minecraft 1.5 redstone block TARDIS interior
• Fixed a bug if the TARDISChunkGenerator plugin was not installed
• Fixed the database sometimes not updating itself properly when updating from a previous version
• TARDIS walls and room walls and floors can now be CLAY and QUARTZ blocks
• Added /tardisroom command to add your own room schematics - see http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/custom-rooms.html
• The plugin now properly respects the config options for the NETHER and THE END when using the travel commands
• Changed the add_perms functionality so that multiple permission groups can be added to TARDIS worlds upon creation - see http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/add-permissions.html - if you are using this function on your server you will need to update your plugins/TARDIS/permissions.txt file
• The 'save-sign' and 'scanner' are now automatically added to newly created TARDISes - delete your plugins/TARDIS/schematics folder so you get the updated files

Installation

As a minimum, just drop the TARDIS.jar and any optional plugins listed below into the Bukkit plugins folder and start your server. For more detailed instructions see: http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/installation.html

Optional installs

These are not needed for TARDIS to function, but enhance the plugin with extra features...

• Install Multiverse so you have multiple worlds to travel to. This is also required if you want to generate TARDISes in their own self-conatined world.
• Install the TARDISChunkGenerator plugin so that you can generate TARDISes in their own self-conatined world (included in the ZIP download).
• Install the SpoutPlugin, so that you can hear TARDIS and Doctor Who sound effects (when using the SpoutCraft client).
• Install WorldGuard to automatically protect your TARDIS from griefing, and stop mobs spawning in TARDIS worlds.
• Install WorldBorder to restrict the size of the worlds generated for TARDIS occupation.
• Install a Permissions plugin, so that you can restrict or grant players the rights to use TARDIS’ different features. We like PermissionsBukkit.
• Use the custom TARDIS texture pack - UPDATED - compatible with Minecraft 1.5
