Re: [Mod] Advanced area protection [areas]

Mods can place nodes with set_node without regard for protection. If you want to register a node that ignores protection when a player places it you'd have to override on_place for that node to remove the protection check that the default item_place_node does.

Re: [Mod] Advanced area protection [areas]

I am removing the node if it is outside my area using minetest.override_item. The problem is I have to override every type of item in the area I want to protect. And there are many. Being my first mod I am probably doing this backwards. Yeah, that's definitely not a good way to do it. If your area ...

Nothing's bad with FluxBB https://fluxbb.org/ It hasn't been updated in any form for a year, and the 2.0 version (which actually has a proper hashing algorithm) hasn't been updated for 5 years. phpBB has also gotten quite a bit better, it's just that we're running an obsolete version (largely becau...

Re: [Mod] Advanced area protection [areas]

Is it, or could it be, possible to allow building in a protected area while making blocks in that area unbreakable? Use case: PVP islands where players are given blocks to get between islands. Do you mean: You want the original map nodes to be permanent, but want players to be able to place and rem...

Re: [Mod] Advanced area protection [areas]

A "protection stick" would still require size limitations unless a number of sticks were consumed proportional to the size of the area. The stick would have to be fairly difficult to craft for it to serve as an effective replacement for the area number limit, and if it was that hard it wou...

Re: Redcrab's server

The authentication file? Sounds like a bad idea... The passwords are hashed. The hash isn't particularly secure (SHA-1 with player name salt), but nobody should be using passwords they care about with MT anyways. It may be a good idea to not release the auth file publicly, but only give it to one o...

The server is back. Considering that you often disappear for several months, would you consider making the full world available for download, including player files and perhaps the authentication file? Others have used local map saving to capture parts of your world and hosted it, but they haven't ...

The refferer check is probably an attempt to protect from CSRF. There are better ways to do this that don't require you to check the referrer though.

Re: [Game] Technic [technic_game]

Calinou moved his repos again. I've fixed the URLs and updated the mods, but you'll have to run `git submodule sync` and `git submodule update --init`.
The warnings were normal since the zip was of a fairly old version, I've updated the zip to the latest version though.

Re: Postgresql Backend

I beat you to it. :-P
I wrote a PostgreSQL backend a few months ago, but didn't bother to put it in a PR.
It automatically sets up the tables and only requires one extra setting (postgresql_connection_info).
Here it is: https://github.com/ShadowNinja/minetest/tree/PostgreSQL

Issues I've noticed: The FAQ page returns a 403.
