SG Extras

Description:

Adds in commands that can be used in conjunction with World Primer & Just Enough Dimensions to pre-generate Stargates in specified dimensions along with being to obtain these Stargate addresses as loot or via command.

Will create a json file in world-save\sgextras called SGGateAddress.json

Currently only working with forge SP/MP & forge server, not working yet with Spongeforge.

Items Added:

• Ancient Tablet 
• Activator Block

  • - This block is just a fake player that right-clicks on loop, was using to activate chunkloader (The Weirding Gadget) when chunk loader is placed using the setblock command.

    - The activator block is not required for small structures but may be useful for large structures if the structure is not being completed by the time the chunk unloads.

    - see example worldprimer.cfg dim 9

Commands:

• sgloaddim <dimid>
  • used to load dimension to allow dimension loading commands in World Primer to run.
• sgunloaddim <dimid>
  • used to add the dimension to the unload queue.
• sgaddress <customname> <dimid> <allowasloot> <allowProtection> <x> <y> <z> {}
  • used to add the given gate address & info to the SGGateAddress.json file.
• sgtablet <player> <item> <dimid> <customname>
  • used to give player an Ancient Tablet with gate address for the specified gate.
  • useful for progression based pack, IE can use with something like better questing to give player specific address for completing task.
• sgsetrandomspawn <dimid> <type> <containsliquid>
  • sets a new spawn point.
  • type can be OVERWORLD, NETHER, END.
  • containsliquid is weather spawn-point pos can contain liquid, checks a 7x7 area with the spawn-point at the center.
• sgdelete <address>
  • will remove the given entry from the SGGateAddress.json file.
  • this will not remove the structure or loot already generated with this address.
• sggetworldprovider <id>
  • added this so I could get the full name of world provider to use with JED dimensions.json
• sggetdata <x> <y> <z> {}
  • added this to get all nbt data from SG base Block, useful to see any other nbt tags you may want to change.

Config Options:

• allowBreakGate
  • true/false – false by default, if false only players with OP can break gates added in the SGGateAddress.json that have allowProtection set to true.
• allowExplodeGate
  • true/false – false by default, if false explosions cannot destroy gates added in the SGGateAddress.json that have allowProtection set to true.
• allowBelowGate
  • true/false – true by default, if true 1 block down directly below the bottom of the gate will also be protected by breaking/explosions if those options are set to true.
• allowAccessBelowGate
  • true/false – false by default, if false only players with OP can access the right-click gui of blocks 1 block below the gate.
• allowControllerAccess
  • true/false – false by default, if false only players with OP can access the fuel panel part of the linked controller.
• allowLoot
  • true/false – true by default, if true gate entry's in the SGGateAddress.json will be added as loot to the specified loot tables if the entry's allowasloot is set to true.
• lootTables
  • a list of loot tables to add ancient tablets to as loot.
  • use string name of the registered loot table, IE minecraft:chests/desert_pyramid
• randomChance 
  • random change for an Ancient Tablet to spawn as loot, 50% by default.

Note on loot:

Loot will not generate on first world load as it is created from the entry's in the SGGateAddress.json which is created on first world/server load.

So once all pre-gen commands have completed you will need to re-start world/server for loot to generate.

Method to pre-generate Stargates:

Create an instance of MC and run once to generate the config files for the mods below.

Mods used:

• Stargate Network - version 2.0.0+
• World Primer - version worldprimer-1.12.2-0.6.0-dev.20190309.202458
• Just Enough Dimensions - version justenoughdimensions-1.12.2-1.6.0-dev.20190319.214431
• SG Extras
  

In the below examples I am also creating Stargates in Galacticraft, Betweenlands, TwilightForest & ExtraUtilities dimensions.

You should be able to use any mod you prefer to create your structures but in this example I am using World Primer and creating a schematic file.

Create a structure:

• The stargate must not be complete in the structure or all will have the same address and not work, so leave 1 block out when creating your structure - make this a ring or chevron block not the base block or it will also not work. - see images

Structures can be created with the following command:

• worldprimer create-structure <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> schematic <structurenamehere>

this will create the a structure file in config\worldprimer\structures

Once you have created your structures for each dimension you will need to work out x,y,z offsets accordingly, I suggest using the place structure command to figure out the offsets needed to get the positions of

• the offset for sg base block.
• the offset for the missing chevron/ring block.
• the offset of where you want the controller to go.
• worldprimer place-structure <x> <y> <z> <structurename> <rotation> <mirror> <centered>

Structures used in examples:

Vertical Gate

Horizontal Gate

World primer config:

We be using DimensionLoadingCommands, postWorldCreationCommands & TimedCommands to pre-gen the structures.

So set the following to true in the config file.

• enableDimensionLoadingCommands=true
• enablePostWorldCreationCommands=true
• enableTimedCommands=true

Create and save your dimensions.json to config\justenoughdimensions folder. You can use the example one below to test.

Example dimensions.json

Next is adding all commands needed to the worldprimer.cfg

• Commands are run over a number of dimensions loads

  • IE, dim loads 1st time and 1st load cmds are run then unloads, dim gets reloaded then 2nd load cmds are run.

Copy the DimensionLoadingCommands, postWorldCreationCommands & TimedCommands from below example to your worldprimer.cfg

Example worldprimer.cfg

Run MC and create a new world

• wait for all commands to complete, if using the example wait for "Loading Dims Third Time!" to display as this is last set of timed commands in worldprimer.cfg

• check the SGGateAddress.json to confirm all gate entry's have been added ok.

Example of generated SGGateAddress.json

Explanation of commands used: 

Note:

• commands used & order may be slightly different depending on weather the dim is set to keep spwan loaded/keep dim loaded.
• Some dims may/will require the default/initial spawn-point to be changed so that the structure don’t spawn underground as I found with GC dims.
• it is just a bit of trial and error depending on the dim, so suggest just testing with each dim you want to pregen a gate in.
• you can check if a dims loaded status with below commands and check lagest.log
• jed list-loaded-dimensions
• jed list-registered-dimensions

Once all commands have completed I would check the SGGateAddress.json to confirm all Stargate entry's have been added.
