Disabling chat?

[Legoracer]

(I'm new to these forums, so I apologize if I posted in wrong category)

Hello,
I've been looking at the documentation for the past hour and can't seem to find anything that could be used to disable or edit the chat/command/console ("/" key).

Is this possible or is it currently past the possibilities of the engine?
Thanks!

Restrict all server commands to server admins only:

Code: Select all

local priv_required = "server

for cmd, def in pairs(minetest.registered_chatcommands) do
	def.privs[priv_required] = true
end

Disable chatting ("/me" inclusive) entirely -> same as /revoke <player> shout

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
	local auth = minetest.get_auth_handler()
	local player_name = player:get_player_name()
	local player_auth = auth.get_auth(player_name)

	player_auth.privileges.shout = nil

	auth.set_privileges(player_name, player_auth.privileges)
end)

Untested code.

You're missing a quote at the end of the first line so this will fail with a syntax error. Also you'd need to make sure that this code runs after all the commands have been registered, so ideally after all other mods have loaded (minetest really still needs a way to do this elegantly...). Not to mention that you should probably be using minetest.override_chatcommand.

The other snippets looks good to me though (although I'm not familiar with the authentication API so I might be missing something).
