Gateway World Lobby Mod

[Proof of concept mod only at this point] !!

This currently adds 3 main features:
1: You can have a greeting pop up when players approach your ship or station (50 metre radius)
2: Players can be sent to a different server from your server - by approaching special LCDs and typing /depart. (9 metre radius) and playing a cool "laboured" warp/frameshift/spacefold engine sound when you do!
3: Players can be sent to a different server - depending which way they travel into deep space and typing /depart

What we can't do /yet/ which is on my wish list:
1: Move players around within the /same/ map. (try the stargate mod or star trek transporters mod for that)
2: Move your ship and/or passengers too. (try rexxars mod for that - its based on how we planned to make it work on this mod see below)
3: Stop players making their own departure points. (i need to add security or make it use config files instead of LCDs)
4: Store departure points server side avoiding the need for LCDs
5: Flashy special effects for interstellar space
6: Faction Territory.

Basic Usage:
Departure LCD:
In an LCD, using the "Name" field key in [destination] serverip:port optional description
Example 1: 1.2.3.4:65555 Bobs Star System
Example 2: my.SEserverHost.com:12345 Pvp pew pew server

If you prefer you can also use the LCD text field (typically displayed on the screen) for the description instead.
When a departure point is detected the chat will prompt you to type /depart if you wish to travel there.

Station Greeting Message LCD:
In an LCD using the "Name" field key in [station] popup
then type in a greeting, warning, note or message of the day in the LCD text (as displayed on front of the LCD)

Note: Based on a hypothetical tech spec created for this mod, Rexxar created an instanced battle system that can transfer ships too. It was here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=912773575 but he deleted it.
There are several other less well known server bridging mods people still use; not sure how good or bad they are, but I expect they are all based on the same basic spec.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blue Mining Inc introduces their new passenger transport, and navigation system. With this system any passengers can travel between nominated sectors.

To travel, simply enter an departure point, and when indicated by your screen, issue the command:
/depart

Stations can also be equipped with a welcome message to pop up when players approach them.

Basically this allows you to use a world as a way for players to join other servers.

Why would use this mod?
1: if you recently moved servers, you can use this as a immersive way to direct them to the new server if they connect to the old one by mistake.
2: if you have several servers, or wish to maintain a list of related servers from a common central server.
3: Just for fun, make a world that links to all your other favourite servers.
4: Link share, set your server so players can connect to a friends server, and vice versa
5: Role Playing. Players depart in imaginary shuttles to travel to new and interesting places. Eg. you have a custom spawn ship. etc. Although you cant travel with a ship, you can make the ship players depart from on one server the same design as the default spawn ship they start with on the destination server. Just takes a little imagination.


==========================
Authors Notes:
==========================
This is a proof of concept mod for an immersive server linking "Lobby" idea I had a while ago.
Should work single player or DS.

Ideally this will be expanded as part of my Galaxies project to allow travel within ships between servers (and maybe with your bank balance and faction too, although that adds complexity i may not be able to solve).

Basically this turns a world into a Gateway/lobby to other worlds. Useful for admins with groups of related roleplaying servers who want to make it more "immersive" for players to travel to other "space sectors" (read: Their other servers maps)

This was created originally to run on my obsolete server to direct players to my new server and i kept adding to it.

It allows you to have as many servers as you like by adding their details to LCDs.
