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?

v2.3-beta-1

It is highly recommended that you:

1. back up your server before installing this version
2. delete the plugins/TARDIS/schematics folder so you have the latest TARDIS and room schematic files

Changes

• The default for the config option rooms_require_blocks is now false
• Fixed the update checker giving the wrong message if a release version is available and the current version is a beta
• Player's can now add a back door to the tardis - and no funny jokes please...
  • Requires the permission tardis.backdoor
  • Place a pair of IRON doors
  • Use the command /tardis update backdoor to tell the TARDIS where they are located
  • Using the back door requires Artron Energy - set the cost with the config option backdoor
• Companions can now enter the TARDIS at any time (The Time Lord of the TARDIS does not have to be inside)
• Added isomorphic controls so that Time Lords can lock the controls and prevent companions from stealing the TARDIS
  • use the command /tardisprefs isomorphic [on|off]
• Added the permission tardis.exterminate - players must have it to delete their TARDIS
• Fixed some levers falling into the void (causing inactive lamps) in deluxe & eleventh TARDIS schematics - delete the old schematics
• Fixed the handbrake not being added in the deluxe TARDIS schematic - delete the old schematic
• Added missing condensable *_ITEM items or cauldrons, brewing stands and nether_bricks to the condensables list. This should fix some rooms not being able to be grown when rooms_require_blocks is true
• Added the ability for functional secondary control consoles
  • Old primary controls are automatically updated to the new format
  • Old secondary controls can be updated with the command tardis secondary [control] - the command functions exactly the same way as /tardis update
  • Growing a baker or wood secondary console room automatically adds functional secondary controls - delete the old room schematics
• Added a player preference to only have the TARDIS beacon on while travelling - /tardisprefs beacon [on|off]
  • In new TARDISes the beacon is off until the Artron Energy Capacitor is initialised by clicking the Artron button with the TARDIS key - delete the old schematics
• Removed all reliance on NMS and OCB methods
  • this means that offline players no longer have their location set to the server's default world spawn point (probably a non-issue as spawn is usually controlled by another plugin anyway e.g. Essentials Spawn)
  • this also means that the plugin will not break with every CraftBukkit update :)
• Fixed a NPE trying the rename the TARDIS key when it is AIR

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.io/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 for TARDIS malfunctions & compatible with Minecraft 1.5.1
