Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
So you're blocking their view for another 10s when they already were punished with long ads?
I suggest to either provide more visual information, such as including an image like this one and/or a "no money" image. Also consider using colored text for the most important keywords. Otherwise the players will think this is yet another advertisement and ignore the entire formspec until [Close] appears.
Another idea: How about showing a short HUD text element (red colored, maybe?) which does not prevent them from playing but receives attention due to the penetrant color.
Bug report (untested): This mod will also show a formspec to players which are attached to any object which isn't moving and/or when their physics properties disallow moving.

THIS IS AN INOFFICIAL MINETEST CLIENT!
REMOVE THIS APP AND GET THE OFFICIAL ONE!
... around the crosshair :)
The problem in general: Scammers could use the official client as base and could simply overlay their ads.

Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
Yep, your right. If there is a rule on my server that says: Only official minetest releasesSo you're blocking their view for another 10s when they already were punished with long ads?
Then you should enforce this rule. Because rules should be observed.
The most players that I have told: Please use Minetest its without ads, free and the original oneI suggest to either provide more visual information
The answer was: Tomorrow, not yet etc.
If theres no requirement to change the game, why should I change my game then?
I think you can clearly separate Minetest with an ad.Otherwise the players will think this is yet another advertisement and ignore the entire formspec until [Close] appears
Haha. I have already banned people because they wont change there game to minetest.How about showing a short HUD text element (red colored, maybe?) which does not prevent them from playing
If every server admin does have this opinion then the minetest servers will be emptier, but we dont support idiots, which take minetest, put ads on it and sell it as a new game.
A few facts(Google Play Store):
Minetest: 100.000+ Downloads
Multicraft: 50.000.000+ Downloads
Pro Craft: 1.000.000+ Downloads
Block World: 500.000+ Downloads
And many more fakes you can found there...
Yep, can be a bug. Any ideas how i can detect if a player is attached?Bug report (untested): This mod will also show a formspec to players which are attached to any object which isn't moving and/or when their physics properties disallow moving.

This will change quickly as soon the version 0.5.0 with the new player controls is available.TalkLounge wrote:A few facts(Google Play Store):

Either you can use the MTG-provided table (0.4.16, old or 0.4.17-dev, new) to check whether the player is attached (example on bottom, in register_globalstep).TalkLounge wrote:Yep, can be a bug. Any ideas how i can detect if a player is attached?
Or use the proper get_attached method lua_api reference - but which returns a dummy ObjectRef when the player isn't attached:
Code: Select all
local obj = player:get_attach()
if not obj:get_luaentity() then
-- Player probably watches ads
end

Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
That's a good mod! Maybe the time to wait should increase exponentially by each ad shown. :D
If you lack the reality, go on a trip or find a job.
Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
What about players who play on Ios Multicraft?
They can't download minetest.

Just add this sticker to your game, as we use on linuxworks minetest:
Play on Linuxworks server. We have got lots of trains.

Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
Yeah I also think it's better to show them Minetest instead of banning them.
For example a red hud message

Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
This mod may be a bit annoying, but it's very useful. I saw a lot of videos and articles in which people say that Multicraft is such a bad game and calling it a Minecraft clone (probably because of the ads). People should be more aware of apps like this. I once saw a modded Minetest client for Android that required you to pay 100 dollars to create a new map

Re: [Mod] Informs fake game players over MT [adblock]
I just changed my mind when I got killed on a server because of this plugin. The fact that a player is standing still for more than 10 seconds doesn't mean he's playing an unofficial build. I can't think of any better ways to detect than someone is using a game based on Minetest that 's trying to impersonate Minecraft. The best way to inform players of these games is to display a message like this when a player joins the game for the first time

at IS detecting
"Stand same position and also IS walking"
and some more idea:
* generate a list of gamers, where a counter is added for each of this happenings, so THEN the admin can go further and use a ban mod ... as that also makes server work, in out, in out ...

Wouldn't that happen when using autowalk and running against something higher than the selected autojump height?Festus1965 wrote: at IS detecting
