Hey guys, Drunz here.
I just have an idea about warp stones that could help cut down on transportation times. Have you ever wanted new space to mine in, build, or explore? Space that hasn't been touched by anyone on the server? Ok, say you do find some land that hasn't been touched and you already have a house somewhere else, say closer to spawn. And that house is where your /sethome is placed, you don't feel like walking a couple hundred to thousand blocks to get to your new area, right? Well what if you had the option to place a private warp stone/zone to your new area from your old house? Yeah seems appeasing doesn't it. Let me explain further.
Specfications:
Ok so the main idea is that these items would be sold in the market like protection stones are now. Prices would be fairly expensive because this is a luxury item, not an esstiantial item.
Pros-
-They would offer a quick way from Destination A to B.
-They would be for private use.
-They can be placed in areas such as a players home.
-They could possibly work like doors,chests,furances in the sense that they can be locked, and other players can be added to a list to use the warp stone, by the owner of the stone.
-As said before these warps will be a luxury item and will be expensive to try to keep the misuse of an item at the minimum .
-These items could also be put into a donation package for players who donate. (Thanks Nick)
-These warps can also be made public, and can be used to open a player made town/city.(Thanks iGenerator)
Cons-
-As for the cons, I'm not too sure how hard this would be to Incorporate into the server.
-If these warp stones would lag the server or not, if too many are being placed and used.
-The commands that would be implemented for moving or locking a warp stone.
-As well as other glitches/problems/troubleshooting such as a players going to warp stones that aren't theirs after using a warp stone that is in fact their own. (This is worded weird and kinda confusing)
So there's my suggestion on warp stones, any input by you guys would be awesome! Adding pros and cons to the list is a huge plus as well! Suggest things that I may have missed or you wish to be added and I'll add them to the list as I see fit.
Thanks guys!

I like this idea, would defenatly be nice.
-
I support this! This would actually be useful for people with large mega-cities too because they can allow people to warp to various regions and sections of the city similar to spawn.
I get the feeling though that there will have to be a set limit as to how many stones a person can have active and only members+ could use them or something like that because you gotta have limitations to things like this.....
-
Order me 10. This is awesome.
-
I love this idea, support!
-
Sounds good.
-
This idea, is kinda good.
I have some to add on that. A player, has to use only ONE stone. No more than that. Moreover, I dont know how effectively it will work because if I consider my mine, around to 3-4 people have passed under me, because they make very long and 1x2, 2x2 tunels for 1000 or something.
The server under our houses is full with tunels. The map has to become at least 6000x6000 for that to work..
-
Oh I just though of a major flaw in these stones. Couldn't people dig around your stone and when you warp you may end up falling to your death or something? Then again I guess ppl do that with the /home cmd too....

That is a risk you just have to take. But I guess it would spawn you on a "Warp" block?
-
As i said befor i like this idea, but one flaw would be, what blocks would we use?? Minerals are out of question because they are used for ps.....
-

Sponge. When have sponges ever been used?
-
I think it would be better if instead of stones we could just give out commands for private warps. That way it eliminates the need for a physical block.

I have never even seen a sponge in smp, but possibly yes.
-
Sponges you can't obtain or craft normally-- you'd have to spawn them in using an item spawning command
-
We could eliminate the use of a block by just using signs like we are using now. They could offer a small 3x3x1 protection zone to ensure a player will not warp to his death.
-
Well....there was ONE sponge in the old Opticraft SMP ;)
-
Well....there was ONE sponge in the old Opticraft SMP ;)
It was mine! :D Until someone stole it and replaced it with glowstone :(
-
i vote this post a +10 in awesomeness :D
good idea dude!
-

What? you said i took it right? Well, if i did take it, i would remember putting valuable Glowstone down. lol
-
i think this would be an awesome idea
-
Another stone you could use is Gold Ore or Iron Ore. I haven't seen them used so it could work.

Cant do that because when you mine gold ore you get gold ore.
-
Telepads does the same thing

What about Redstone ore?? that can't be picked up :D

lol..
I am curious if the silk touch can pick up a mob spawner.
Can someone resolve it that?

I can. The short answer, is: No.
-
this is a good idea. I support this. :) :) :) :) :) Also, incresed ideas bring more variety to the server. New ideas=good!
-
These would be a big help, because instead of people using their /home as a town entry they could use the warp stones instead, so the town owner would not have to sacrifice his/her /home for the town. ;)
-
A donation package for multi-homes is under progress for installation.
The owner will allow to donators have many if infinite homes.
-
Order me 10. This is awesome.
Ill take 11
-
This idea sounds amazing, I think it would be a great idea, especially for those that have either multiple homes or htey have a town and they don't want people going to their personal /home command.
-
I have already pre-purchased..:P
-
I love the idea. That being said. I have two main ideas.
To allow other players to use them other then the original buyer there should be some sort of fee.
For example, when someone has the teleport donation package. when they go to port someone to them, it sends a message to that person to accept or deny port.
When a player who owns a portal block executes the command to allow a player to use the portal block, there could be some sort of message sent asking the player if he/she accepts the fee to be included in that blocks use allowances.
-MDW-
-
Then we don't need the more homes donations! Supported!
-
I Support this idea Too! ;D
-
Worst idea ever.
-
Worst idea ever.
It's good. Bad Nyssa! Bad!

Worst idea ever.
Nyssa, I love you

I agree.
-
Why is this bad if I may ask.
And it looks like Nick made my laugh again!
-
Well, sounds like a good idea, but I say it should not be implemented because everything becomes too organized. We play on a SURVIVAL server, and increasing /wraps decreases the survival spirit. :P
100th post! Yaaaaaay

We were just trolling drunz.

We already have homes and warps. And coming soon the more homes donations. So much survival is this not.

I will never understand jokes, but thank you for your answer.
-
I like this idea :)
-
Love the idea! :D
I have always wanted a second /home or something like that!
Would be cool if they were cheaper lol :P
-
Isn't anyone seeing the point that this would be like multiple homes, which I belive is a future donation package...
-
Yes spyow people do realize that, but I made this awhile back before the double /home package was thought of or had little thought at the time. I would still like some sort of other teleportation to different locations.

Really like these ideas or nicks idea of just adding /warps i support
I dont wanna create a seperate thread cuz its so simmilar, but maybe /warps should be provided to registered cities, just like /warp northtown
you could use /warp (cityname) just a thought but it would really help developing cities i think
-
Dont necro-post on old suggestions, thanks.
