[Mod] Cursed world (Portals) [0.1.0] [cursed_world]

[lag01]

Allows players to build portals by placing 10 obsidian blocks and then adding 2 "cursed_stone".
Portal output then becomes connected to distant location (searches for caves at -4800 nodes underground by default).

an alternative nether?

an alternative nether?

On my server i moved old spawn with all buildings to -4800, so players need to build portal to get to old world, and build another portal to get back to surface.

In default game, portal will move you to the cave somewhere deep underground.

oh? it's kinda original then. But you know there are many, many ,many teleporters pad portals and thing like that which would do what you want?

Yes, there are many portal mods, but i doubt there is one that meets all criteria i wanted:

• is buildable by player and don't need magic wand to activate

• looks like ancient architecture portal

• set target location automatically, preferably inside a cave

• is not bundled with special map generator

• is shattered when someone else use your portal - to encourage players build their own portals in safe locations

• obvious criteria - mod should not crash or slow down server

ok, it's better here!

lag, looking at your code, I aways cringe when i see an important file opened with 'w' to re-write the whole contents.. hate crashes as much as the next guy. does lua have sql ability built in ? can't it store directly in the map db file via lua to create your own table for storing data ? or, can you write to a .new file, then delete / move, and you got a backup.. just in case. I usually have a .dat, .dat.1, .dat.2 as i create, and skip while loading corrupted files.

I heard somewhere, developers are working on adding storage API per player, per mod etc. Hopefully it will be implemented good enough.

In most cases "whole contents" is just few kilobytes, smaller than one disk block, so rewriting it gives no overhead. Maybe very large files, like auth.txt can make any difference.

It must be more interesting, when you guess this by yourself.
They just didn't wanted to spoil you that fun.

But it depends on you what you like more, if you try and guess or ask on forum.
