Ptolemy King Protector [ptol] (v0.5)

by runs » Post

Image
The new generation of protection mods is here!

Why NO protect nodes and areas?

- Because it is outdated, in any case use lockable trunks.
- Difficult to maintain and configure.
- Players get pissed off because they can't mine.


What makes Ptolemy King Protector different?


- It is based in a revolutionary concept: Concentric Maps (Spheres or Boxes).
Image

- Terraplanism is in vogue. Minetest is a terraplanist game. How cool!!!
Image

Let's face it, what really sucks is that new, unknown players are screwing up the map. How about isolating them in a small area of the map where they can't leave.
Image

-This mod is hacker-proof! Hackers will pull their hair out. Ha, ha, ha.
Image

How to use this mod?

- It is only intended for servers.
- Configure ptol.conf
- You have one command:

Code: Select all

/ptol player_name level
where level 1 is the first sphere or box etc.
- If you are not defining a level for a player the default is 1.
- Higher level players can access the lower levels.
- If a player tries to leave his level, he will simply not be able to. Neither walls nor bars. He will get a non-intrusive message and an alarm sound.

It's that simple!

v0.3
- Now volume shapes can be "boxes" instead of spheres = boxes inside higher boxes. I think is more suitable cos "Minetest" is a Voxel game. And for a human mind is more easy imagine a box limit than a spheric one.

I don't operate a server, so I'm not the target audience of your mod, but I like the 'story' of your first post.
Is the name a reference to the famous astronomer of antiquity? I wonder if there's an astronomical model out there where planets follow square or cubic orbits. :)
