Protector Stick issue:

Just downloaded the latest version. The protector wand is undefined...


In the logs...

Code: Select all

ERROR[Server]: Item "protector:stick" not defined

I used the old mintest-protector before and the stick worked, if that's of any consequence.

[Andrey01]

What is protector stick that you said?Here are only protector logo, protector blocks, protector doors and protector chests.

[ratmix]

Sorry, I have two different protector mods running & conflicting.

Notice:

- protector.drop feature has been disabled, can easily be exploited using lag.

After upgrading to 0.4.16, the latest version of Protector Redo gives this error:

.../games/minetest_game/mods/protector/init.lua:655: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 265) near '<eof>'

[TenPlus1]

Updated to version 2.1:

- Added 'protector_night_pvp' setting which enables pvp in all areas at night time only, all except protected spawn.

[TenPlus1]

Updated to version 2.2:

- Protector Tool now works within 2 blocks of a protection node so you don't have to stand on top of it anymore :) It can also place vertically by looking up and down.
- Protector recipe changed, use gold ingot isntead of steel, place protector itself in crafting to switch between block and logo.

Hiya; any idea why the server crashes with ... init.lua:159:find_nodes_in_area(): area volume exceeds allowed value of 551368?

Hiya; any idea why the server crashes with ... init.lua:159:find_nodes_in_area(): area volume exceeds allowed value of 551368?

Is protector_radius greater than 40?

[KzoneDD]

It was. Then tried 30, still crashes. Then tried 16... no crash so far.

[auouymous]

What was the crash message at 30?

551368 = 82^3 (diameter = 82)
A radius of 40 should have a diameter of 81 (40+40+1) and be within that limit.

Hello!
I can not craft the Protection Logo (protector: protect2).
Could you correct it, please?

[TenPlus1]

Place protector:protect (block) into crafting bench to give protector:protect2 (logo) and vide versa.

hi, I have a question about the protection of the spawn zone. How can I allow players to build or interact on it (spawn), without give them too much privilege and destroy other player's protection ?
I think about the priv "delprotect" but it seems too much to my taste... maybe "protection_bypass" ?

And there is no more the "protector_drop = true" setting ?

Edit : sorry i miss this :

Typically the server owner builds spawn first (with help) before using spawn protection... The 'delprotect' priv was deprecated and replaced with 'protection_bypass' which does the same, and protector_drop mode was removed as players misused it to cheat in duplicate items on occasion.

OK, It's what I do in the first server I put inline. So, we try to prepare a spawn-zone to put it after with Worldedit.

OK, thanks fot those explanations.

Updated to version 2.3:

- Localise many of the global functions used inside mod
- Tidy code
- Update readme file with protector tool instructions

[acidzebra]

Cool mod, does exactly what it says on the tin and does it very well. Thanks!

As an experiment I made a change in the pvp.lua script

Code: Select all

if minetest.is_protected(pos, hitter:get_player_name()) then

to

Code: Select all

if not minetest.is_protected(pos, hitter:get_player_name()) then

This inverts pvp - people can only pvp inside the area of a protection block (with some weirdness where owners can be hit but they can't hit others while two non-owners can go ham on each other as expected, I think that will disappear once I create specialized "pvp blocks" for these areas)

My general idea is to have a largely non-pvp world with dedicated pvp arenas and areas (like warcraft PVE servers), possibly granting people specific weapons and armor upon entering and removing them when leaving. Maybe even have tournaments - last man standing etc.

[TenPlus1]

Updated to version 2.4:

- Using newer functions, requires Minetest 0.4.16 and above to run.

[TenPlus1]

Updated to version 2.5:

- Added HUD text to show when inside protected area (5 second update)

[Lone_Wolf]

Love the mod and the update!

The protector mod(s) and I, we just never get along. Trying to add something that is smaller than one protector or overlaps with another protected area does not work well (to say it mildly).

Idea to fix that: Add a command that takes a volume (i.e. as defined by WorldEdit), lists the positions of protectors that are either in this volume or at least active there, and that allows to add or remove a player from all your protectors that affect that volume. Protectors are after all no easter eggs. People have better things to do then hunt down the last forgotten protector that interferes with a project.

A command to check if all inside the marked volume is actually protected by the player would also be very helpful.

Add a command that takes a volume (i.e. as defined by WorldEdit), lists the positions of protectors that are either in this volume or at least active there, and that allows to add or remove a player from all your protectors that affect that volume.

It would probably need to be an admin/mod only feature because a large area might need to add numerous forceloaders, find all protectors in that area and then remove the forceloaders. Iterating over the list of found protectors and adding players is easy at this point.

This requires the same code as above but each protector cuts away at the volume in something like an octree, the report the uncut regions. A little bit more intensive than the first feature.

You're right - even a smaller area might need forceloading. The volume the command is able to check could depend on weather it's a normal player (-> only check a small volume) or someone with an appropriate priv.

Hi, how can i override is_protected with my mod so protector.flip will be disabled only from my mod - normally its enabled. Right now im flipping every time i check for is_protected :/
