[Mod] Kick voting [0.1] [kick_voting]

[lag01]

Mod for Minetest game. Allow players to vote to make life of griefers and aggressive players harder.

This mod purpose is to allow players deal with griefers and aggressive players. Without intervention of server admin or moderators.

With enough vote overweight, griefer will respawn in "jail" (0,-2,0) instead of spawn point. Or you can code your own punishment procedure using code at the end of init.lua file as example.

Votes and punishments are assigned by IP. IP's are not saved to map data.

Nice, I had a similar idea a while ago, where it would be possible to vote for commands like /time, /kick and /ban.

The texture coulde be better but the mod does its job well :)

Nice mod :)
As for the idea - an old mod of mine (1,5 y.o.) had commands for voting for/against admins/moders/bans/kicks, dealt with trespassing and different abuses like fire, pistons or even TNT...
But no one have used that ever since I've posted the sources :p

l thought about vote for kicking, too. But when l think about teeworlds…
The people in jail can't vote, can they?
Imagine two "friends" join the game and want to play alone. Then another person joins and wants to play, too. He/she gets kicked by them. After that the next person joins and wants to play. He/she gets kicked by the two. Then the next person joins and wants to play. He/she gets kicked by the two. After that the next person joins and wants to play, too. He/she gets kicked by the two. Then the next person joins and wants to play. He/she gets kicked by the two. After that the next person joins and wants to play, too. He/she gets kicked by the two. Then the next person joins and wants to play. He/she gets kicked by the two. After that the next person joins and wants to play, too. He/she gets kicked by the two. Then the next person joins and wants to play, too. He/she gets kicked by the two. And then the two make a "bot" and automatically vote for kicking when a new player joins.

That is exactly the reason why this mod require you to spent gold ingot to vote and also other limitations. I am curious if this mod will help against griefers, or they will find the way to exploit it...

gold isn't valuable when you cheat,
you can always fly and noclip
and with a little change at nodedef.cpp you can see gold through stone, like the caves
l can record a video with it for you if you want.

I'd like to see a video, out of curiosity. I didn't know one could cheat in minetest without extra privs.

Yes, cheating deserves its own topic. Seeing thorough stones, glitch and fly is possible, i heard abour that before. Most likely, even anticheat option is not very effective against that.
Well, with enough evidence, cheating+griefing is one of rare ocasions, where permanent ban could be used.

@Hybrid Dog - How is that possible? How is gold highlighted like that and can it be done with other things such as diamonds? Can that be done on any server?

Interesting. How did you disable the statue messages? (Fly mode turned on, ..)
Also, the gold nodes aren't default. They are diffrent drawn than the stone around them, otherwise they wouldn't show up.
Additional to this, it's not possible to see anything when you're inside a node without nocip privileges.
Nice cheat.

yes.

lt's highlighted like glass, just some changes at nodedef.cpp. lt can be done with almost every node, e.g. mese blocks, bones, nyancat nodes, see below. If you use it for diamonds,… in minetest many diamonds are generated

@Hybrid Dog - How is that possible?

They aren't disabled, see 00:38

lt's my texture pack, l dislike the default gold mineral texture. https://github.com/HybridDog/HybridTP/b ... l_gold.png

Nice cheat.

lt is, if you used linux, you could easily find the other place (not localplayer.cpp), where the noclip privilege is checked, via $ grep -rl noclip src
