FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Now you can skip the cage for new players!

A tiny mod that requires players agree your rules, or be kicked. Yes or No

you can select between to just perss Yes, or to type i agree to the rules (as default)

You can change this in the init.lua file "Enable_type_text_to_accept= true / false"

It check if players have interact on join or this coming up.
Type[ b]/rules[/b] to show the form

Add rules / privs to grant in the init.lua file, shout interact & home is default

english, spanish, french, german translations
change default language or if you want all 4 or only 1 language
Enable_Only_1_language= false
Default_language_number= 1

Blame google translate if the grammatical or spelling is wrong,(I only talking english or swedish)

Licenses: code LGPL 2.1 media CC BY-SA 3.0
Depends: none

My english teacher always told me to write complete sentences.
However, you definitely need a label with the question "Do you accept the server rules?".

its fixed

The mod might be very useful for servers. The only trouble is that people who are incapable of actually understanding the rules may be able to locate the "Yes" button and press it. It has happened often enough that players - when asked what the rules are - told that they where unable to read them due to not understanding the languange they where written on a particular server. Thus, it is only a little help, but certainly better than nothing. The greeting message is certainly fine! Real new players might not even know about interact. That gets handled well.

Upaded to V2

This mod will be very useful for servers where players accepting the rules are given the ability to interact with the environment - such as "regular" servers (where players build their homes cooperating with the community, and griefing is not allowed), creative servers (where players are in creative mode and can build or modify anything they desire without needing tools), faction servers (where players make factions and can only protect a chunk of land if their faction has enough power, which is lost when a member dies), and other servers where rules are necessary (except for chaos/griefing servers, where nobody makes the rules and you "decide your own fate").
I will use this for my server, if I ever get around to being able to host it on a stable machine.

What's the license for this?

Please also change your topic's title to contain [agreerules]
eg: [Mod] Agree rules or kick [V2] [agreerules]

Unless nuthing else noted, this is that applies to all the mods I publishing

1: Use the mod in public servers
2: Take a parts of the code (if needed)
3: Edit the mod

I forgot to add licens to the older mods, I dont want to download --> edit --> reupload all the other 12 mods ...

That sounds like an no-derivitives license, which you're not allowed to post mods under here. I suggest using WTFPL, MIT, or LGPL or later. You can't legally modify the rules or privs with a nd licence. I've made improvements to the mod, which it appears I'm not allowed to do.

Licenses for all mods created by me is changed

A license such as LGPL, BSD, or MIT require you to keep copyright notices on the file. CC-BY requires attribution, but it's unclear where the credit has to be. I think forum posts and read mes are enough. But cc bywasnt really designed for code.

This would literally take me 15-30m to make. Most of that time on making the formspec look nice. But I didn't, because it saves me time. But I will have to do that if this isn't foss.

Done

Great work

In MinetestForFun servers we use a mod based on the "interact" mod to do this kind of things, we really impoved the initial "interact" mod.

If you want to take some ideas/codes https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... s/interact :)

Looks nice and easy to use !
Thumbs up !

This mod is still proprietary. I give up, I'll make my own verson.

Have a look at MFF version https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... s/interact WTFPL licenced (base + the improvements)

Added languages (a wish by ulla :-)

It looks like the "Ingles" button is for spanish, but in Spanish "Ingles" means "English". Did you mean to use "Español"?

i have not seen that, fixed!

Is there a reason your own Swedish translation wasn't included?

the idea was to add the 4 biggest languages to make it easyer for more users, but if you think it should be added then i will do it :-)

Hi,

I downloaded, unzipped and placed in the correct path, enabled on my server/level, this mod, but doesn't appear anything on screen... what I wrong?

thanks again for all...

R

The mod checks, if players that joins have interact.
so if a player not have interact, will the form show up.

change players starting privs in minetest.conf, with the line default_privs = interact, shout, home ...

Hi,

many thanks for your suggestions.... but anything is changed....

I added to minetest.conf the line default_privs = interact, shout, home
and tried to enter with another username, but anything is changed....

I did not understand what I should do ...

R

remove the "interact", like

default_privs is the privs that will be automatically granted to new players,and to make the mod work, you need to make the new players don't automatically get interact,

so use default_privs = shout, home

Hi,

many and many thanks for this mod and for your support!

I changed the "German" language to "Italian" and set this default language ..... works!

One another question: the new users receive the 'interact' priv via moderator, like '\grant user interact' .... is correct?

thanks again!

R

yeah:
/grant <name> <priv>

/grant Player0211 interact

remove privs:
/revoke <name> <priv>

Beautiful mod!
