[Mod] Teleport Request [git rolling release][tpr]

[Traxie21]

This mod is a response to the need I have seen on several Minetest servers.
It clones the popular tpa feature in the MineCraft Bukkit mod, Essentials.

Usage:
Type /tpr [playername] to request permission to teleport to a player.
The other player may now type /tpy to allow you to teleport to them, or /tpn to deny.

Type /tphr [playername] to request permission to teleport another player to you.
The other player may now type /tpy to allow you to teleport them to you, or /tpn to deny.

Download:
From CWz's repository: https://github.com/ChaosWormz/teleport- ... master.zip
...or browse the code: https://github.com/ChaosWormz/teleport-request

Install: after downloading and/or extracting, rename the top-level directory to "tpr". Then either place it in your worldmods directory, or put it in your global mods directory and enable it like usual.

Dependencies: None required, but optionally areas, intllib, beerchat, chat2, gamehub are supported.

what about
/tp <name>
/tpy
/tpn

y and n are yes and no. the reason i say /tp and not /tpaccept because /tp is way quicker. also /tpy and /tpn are kinda self explanitory and also easy.

+1 this is pretty sweet.

Good idea jojoa! I just used the same command Essentials used.
However, I think I'll stick with /tpr as the request command to ensure better compatibility.

ALSO: I was brainstorming earlier, and it occoured to me that there is probably a bug in this version. If more than one person have pending teleportation requests to the same person, either the server will crash, or both players will be teleported.

I will fix this as soon as I get home, which may be as late as next Monday.

Adding Credits to main post as well.

Well /tpr is good. It thought it was /tprequest. I think that there should be one for admins /tpr all and everyone getrs a request.

[Traxie21]

Erm... what happens if they all accept?
Admin bouncing XD
However, I will probably add a bypass perm so that admins, typing /tpr will be able to teleport without needing to be accepted.

Would that work for you?

[jojoa1997]

No they teleport to the admin. As in a admin saying everyone come here

And jojo, I see what you mean, will add a /tphere

[jojoa1997]

make tphere for everyone though

[Traxie21]

Thats what I meant. However, Its going to be a little tricky to teleport everyone to the admin, but I think I can manage.

This is my first mod after all.

Hey why not /goto since that a main teleport, code inport.

[Traxie21]

What? Could you explain that more clearly please?

[jojoa1997]

Hey why not /goto since that a main teleport, code inport.

that is what /tpr is teleport request

Major rewrite (see original post for new download links)

Potential issues: This version requires no special privs apart from interact. The new priv "tpr_admin" is now only registered if regnewpriv is set to true. Currently the new privilege does nothing and may be deprecated unless somebody would like the feature.

[JoshMars]

Pretty sure this is bug free.

Famous last words...

Since I got access to this project, I have been fixing bugs and adding new features.
Check it out now, it has new features such as area requests, spam prevention, and more!

There's no detailed changelog yet (I still plan to write it), but you can see all the commits that I made here. You can also check all the pull requests and issues that I made here.

Special thanks to ChaosWormz for the extra testing and ideas. 🙂
