Public Warps for donors?

A feature I have used and loved on other servers has been a couple of public warps for donors.

Bukkit servers use this plugin a lot: MyWarp - Bukkit

Dunno if there is something similar that will work for heavily modded servers, but thought I would suggest it anyway.

Public warps are nice for setting up shops/malls or just being able to showcase your builds/bases/etc.

Could do something like 1 warp for the first donor rank, and then add 1 additional warp for each higher rank?

 

In servers that use Islands have /is warp <name>

 

Yeah but I'm talking about the non-skyblock servers. Like Infinity, for instance. It would be awesome to be able to visit other's bases for a look around. I'm just so used to Towny servers

 

MyM already has a warp plugin on all servers, but only co-admins and above can set them up for safety reasons (imagine a nasty player setting a warp up inside a trap and then telling people in chat to warp to it, yes they would quickly get banned, but not before a few unfortunate players are caught in it and possibly lose their stuff!) though anyone who has a good enough reason for wanting a warp can apply for one by posting a request on the forum and if the admins like the idea they may agree to it.

 

The server I was previously an admin on had a rule against setting public warps in traps or other dangerous areas. And usually (not always I know, but usually) people who spend real money on a Minecraft server are far, far less likely to abuse perks for fear of losing them.

I didn;t know we could request public warps...will keep that in mind.

 

Do the /homes and /warps not play well together? Cause /homes are private aren't they? Or can they be shared or made public? I've never really played on a server with multiple /homes, we would just get one /home and the rest of our warps would be private warps from the warp plugin and perhaps public warps depending on donor level.

I would just leave the /homes for private warps and add the ability for donors to set public warps, but make them very limited. Maybe even just one or 2 for the first three ranks and 2-3 for the top two? Or like I was saying before, Tier 1: 1 warp, Tier 2: 2 warps, Tier 3: 3 warps, etc.

 

Yep...that's how it's always been done on other servers I've played on, and the way that makes the most sense to me.

 

maybe make it that normal players can have 1 warp which needs checking by staff first and then the donors get x amount which dont need checking first

 

Yeah if you already have an existing system for anyone to request a public warp based on a really good reason for it, then leave that for non-donors and make ti where the donors can set a certain amount of them with commands themselves.

 

What he means is that as a donor he wants to be able to create a warp point that any player (regardless of donor) can warp to.

For example if I just finished a big build project that I want to show off to people I could do /setwarp chaos and then say in chat

So then anyone who knows the warp can teleport there without having to do it via tpa so they can get there even if I'm not online.

 

I've seen it done both ways. With command-based warps and with warp signs.

 

Is this really needed in modded?

I can see why in vanilla this would be cool for shops that use other plug ins, But MyM uses Global Market.... so shops are not really a thing.

As for showcasing your builds, you can share the cords on the site. a few /rt would get you withing 500 block which most players can fly in a minute.

I think if this is a thing to be added in the future, have it as a wall where players buy a slot for in game cash to rent the spot. Making it a donor only perk is pointless. Also i dont think it should be a command to warp but only able to warp to locations from that one board[DOUBLEPOST=1430856439][/DOUBLEPOST]

Derp, i didnt read this before i posted...lol

I agree with this. I also think when the team sets up the vanilla server, this would be nice to have with the shop keeper plug in.

 

Because hunting things down with coords isn't fun .

And I'm not saying only donors can USE the warps once they are created, just that only donors can create them without staff's intervening to do so. It's always been a donor perk I have enjoyed on the multiple places I have played in the past.

Out of curiosity? What's the harm in it that you see?

 

Too many warp locations in /warp. Or people using them as traps that others can teleport to.
On a server where there are 100s of players... that means there can be 100s of warp locations.

I see this working on vanilla, but not on modded.
As for finding a location via cords.... thats what a mini map is... you can type in numbers and have an arrow to it

 

What about two-way sign warps? I've seen some plugins for it. It's literally a ''portal'' that works the same as the /warp, but uses less memory

 

I played in modded minecraft with warps where each person had a private warp and a public warp and it was good and bad at same time because you could teleport to player's shops and sometimes people said *come to /warp **** to aswome shop* and it was a trap , the 60% of the warps were traps.
But MyM have PVP protection and you can write in chat /trap or something like that and you get out and do perexample that people only can set the warps in their claims and the claims always are damage protection.
