*Clap* *Clap* I've got a request

[HackerinPink]

Yea so I'm a very insignificant being, but I'm AT LEAST in a certain light, okayish on one server, all because I have the kick privilege.
So....
I need an repeated kicker in a nice little CSM. Here's what I kinda hope it does. (if anyone cares about this post):

1. The ability to have a /kick WITH a custom message.
2. The ability to set a timer in seconds/minutes/etc_if_needed for how long it will kick
3. The ability for the CSM to either
A) repeatedly SPAM the /kick command
B) somehow kick a player right when he joins the server.

Here is how I hope it will work:

** sumspammer88 joined the game
.rkick sumspammer88 10s
** sumspammer88 left the game
** sumspammer88 joined the game
** sumspammer88 left the game
...ect

And so, hopefully, you get the point.
Now the big question I guess: why?

Well, I kinda want a repeated kicker for OBVIOUS moderation reasons. You might be like: "then use ban ect ect" but that just isn't the same. And if you need to troll your best friend on the server, what better way then to repeatedly kick him and make him rage!

Some of you might be like: "yea yea just use the up arrow" but that doesn't immediately kick the guy and it might seem, from the kicked persons perspective, like I'm spam kicking in a somehow unfriendly way? (Human psychology am I right? *no*) Obviously, if I have a good script to do it for me, it will seem more automated, and the kicked person will be like: what the? This guy is crazy!!

So yea there goes my humble CSM request. Hope you guys don't diss on me and actually try to help, since I'm too lazy to understand Lua...

I should say you can do make a mesecons circuit (if mesecons is on your server)

Place a command block with this code kick [name of person] (P.S. please replace the "[name of person]" in the name of that person) and make a circuit likes the image I attached

(There is an mesecons torch on the cobblestone block)


P.S. if this isn't what you would like to have I will make a code for you.

[HackerinPink]

The server I'm a moderator at isn't my server, but someone else's. The server doesn't have the mesecons mod, and getting the mod would be complicated. It would really be appreciated if you can make a CSM code with the features I posted in the original post. Honestly, if you do this for me, I will appreciate it 100 times over.

(please make this CSM I need it super bad XD)
If you do decide to help me with this, take your time!
Hope you help me with this.

But if installing the mesecons mod would be complicated, then a csm mod installing would be also compilcated, I think
But I will try it for you.

[HackerinPink]

Im not the server admin, and he isnt that technical, so installing will be a pain. since I've installed CSM's before, I know how to do it, and as an added bonus, only I have to install the CSM.

[Miniontoby]

Oké, but I don't know of it is going to work if I have the code. But I will make it.

[HackerinPink]

okay, Thanks a lot.
I look forward to it!

[Miniontoby]

I have a code, but it doesn't work as an CSM (It isn't my mistake) and it does work as an normal mod (But I haven't tested out of the kicking works).
I don't go publishing it now, because I'm waiting until it does work as an CSM (And I have already an topic for help made).

[HackerinPink]

Ah, I see. okay I'm not rushing you, take your time.

[PolySaken]

Try this:

Code: Select all

local modstorage = core.get_mod_storage()
modstorage:set_string("switch", "0")

local player=""

while modstorage:set_string("switch")=="1" do
  minetest.send_chat_message("/kick "..player)
end

core.register_chatcommand("kick_on", {
   description = "enable autokick",
   func = function()
      modstorage:set_string("switch", "1")
   end,
})

core.register_chatcommand("kick_off", {
   description = "disable autokick",
   func = function()
      modstorage:set_string("switch", "0")
   end,
})


replace player="" with player=<the target's name>,
and then type .kick_on in chat
you can use .kick_off to disable it

[Miniontoby]

But I already make a code And I'm nearly done

[HackerinPink]

@Polysaken

Nice code, I appreciate it, but it isn't the kind of functionality i'm looking for.
What am I supposed to do, change the CSM every time i want to kick another player?
However, I appreciate the effort.

[PolySaken]

@Polysaken

Essentially yes. But you could make a command that changes the name like this:

Code: Select all

local modstorage = core.get_mod_storage()
modstorage:set_string("switch", "0")
modstorage:set_string("name", "nullplayer")

local player=""

while modstorage:get_string("switch")=="1" do
  minetest.send_chat_message("/kick "..modstorage:get_string("name"))
end

core.register_chatcommand("kick_on", {
   description = "enable autokick",
   func = function()
      modstorage:set_string("switch", "1")
   end,
})

core.register_chatcommand("kick_off", {
   description = "disable autokick",
   func = function()
      modstorage:set_string("switch", "0")
   end,
})

core.register_chatcommand("change_name", {
   description = "modify playername to kick",
   func = function(param)
      modstorage:set_string("name", param)
   end,
})


You can then use the command .change_name <player> to set the player to kick.

[Miniontoby]

Or use my code (p.s. I haven't test it but it does work) and you can kick more than one player repeatly

EDITED!!!
The previous code isn't the good one. But this one is the good one

This makes things easier, but why can't it be in one command like MinionToby's??
It's over complicating things to use 2 commands to perform 1 simple function.

I'm testing MinionToby's one now... let's see if it works!

EDIT:
Bad news, it gave me a mod error. This is what I saw (copied from debug.txt)

Code: Select all

2019-11-22 13:28:02: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from C:\MTC\0.4.16\bin\..\clientmods\kick_csm\init.lua:

That was the difficult part and that I am going to solve

[Miniontoby]

Here is the eddited one and hope fully it does work

Sadly, upon testing the CSM, I got a very similar, if not the same, error message.

Code: Select all

2019-11-28 10:52:48: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from /home/[username]/snap/minetest-luk3yx-4/97/.minetest/clientmods/kick_csm/init.lua:

Please try to add the line csm_restriction_flags = 0 to the minetest.conf file for the server that you're testing with and try again.

And I'm trying to solve the problem also

This doesn't seem very safe. If your mod requires users to disable security features, it's probably not a great mod.

It doesn't disable security features. It just re-enables CSMs. Which are completely disabled server-side by default in 5.x

[Miniontoby]

You need to add that, because it could block a part of the code.

And you need to use the latest version of Minetest (5.1.0)? If not, what version are you using?

[HackerinPink]

@PolySaken
hmm..?

@Lone_Wolf
I'm not using 5.x, I'm using the 'luk3yx-4' fork, which allows me to play both 4.x servers and 5.x servers.

@Miniontoby
I'm using the 'luk3yx-4' fork, so I guess I'm using 4.x, but I'm not sure

[Miniontoby]

With snap you could have the newest version (and I think that you havent got an interface, but that you only can run servers (but that is the case by me with snap on my pi) )

If you have the csm_restrictions setting then in this case you should consider yourself 5.x
