Stargate Hub

Stargate Hub

Hello and welcome to the Stargate Hub Thread. I'll be explaining what this hub will do for the community and the guidelines for it, plus more.

Main Reason for Hub:

The Hub was thought of by Arbr, and mostly created by Filmjolk because he wanted to do all of it not because i told him to . But anyways the Main Reason for the Stargate Hub is for Much easier usage for stargates. The stargate system we had before had a big long list and people ended up having trouble with it. We would get every day a message asking how to use the stargate. So what this hub will do it make every portal walk through. The Towns / Villages / Cities that will get a stargate will only be the active ones. All the other ones will get a warp only until they become active. once active the warp will go and stargate will be created for it.

How System will work:

The hubs portal system is pretty simple. Based of if the town / village / city is North , South, East, or West of spawn will depend on the location of the portal for the town / village / city. Also if you want to get to the Hub the only thing you need to do is walk into any stargate not in hub and will take you to the center of it.

Approved Town / Villages / Cities for Stargates in hub:

Stockade
orcshire
Fort Pope
mockshplit
Rome
Sherwood


Steps to get a Stargate:

1. Talk with *Arbr* or *Orcworm* to make town offical for a warp.
2. Make town Active
3. Talk with *Arbr* when you think its Active enough
4. Decorate Stargate area when approved for Activeness
5. Wait for *Filmjolk* or *Arbr* to add to a portal room in Hub
6. You got a stargate.

Step 1 and 3 will be changed to have more people on the list when i think the player is ready for the job and will do a good job.

Overview of Hub:
- Coming Soon -

- Stargate Hub Statues: Online -

atm stargate mod is being naughty and we will most likely wait until after we update the server which will be... whenever bukkit or kmod or whatever becomes less glitchy/bugy and supports atleast most of the grief protection plugins.

Btw orc, the fortification? plugin or whatever the name, with that sensor and flamer turret, it will only release bukkit updates from now on. So no kmod, although the guys woking on kmod are working at the speed of light :face:unemployment rules i guess.

kMod really blows atm though .

So the statues are offline. What's the status of the stargate hub?
Also, since warps are more convenient, shouldn't people get a stargate first, then a warp? You can use a warp from anywhere, whereas you can only use a stargate from a town or city. The current configuration makes no sense to me as having a warp seems more preferable to having a stargate. Or is having a stargate just a sign of status, like a gold crown? they dont do anything, and there are easier alternatives that do a better job but don't llok as good, but they sure make you look cool.

Sharp. Very sharp.

Damn,Looks like my city needs more activity?

stargates are for ACTIVE towns only, Warps are for Unactive towns.

How can you determine activity when no one can get online and the max I have seen on is 14..

I'm not willing to sacrifice the plugins on a long-term basis, especially considering Bukkit in it's current state has been known to corrupt maps after only one night of it running. If you know of an alternate solution I'm all ears.

For example, this from Joy's twitter:

"We are going back to 1.1, sadly this also includes a giant map rollback, due to instant crashes with 1.1 and an updated map, as it can't han..."

stargates are for ACTIVE towns only, Warps are for Unactive towns.

Still haven't answered my question. Shouldn't it be that stargates are for inactive and warps for active since warps are easier? Or is it because making a stargate is a pain and this justifies delaying making a stargate?

not everyone has /warp and /warp is mostly used for easy trans. for Freebuild servers. But to make it fit for a survival / pvp we got to fix it up. /warp = members + so /warp for inactive towns and stargates u just walk through.

I made a town but i need more $ to get it zoned and all
