Admin Tools

Description:
I was thinking there needs to be tools that let server admins to control their servers. For now I have only made one tool.

Tools:

• Remove Stick - removes anything it hits (nodes or entities, not players though(yet))
  Mainly this will allow you to remove locked chest and mobs.

Exported functions:

• admin_tools.set_privilege(player_name, priv, value)
  Allows you to set arbitrarily player privileges
  player_name - string
  priv - string
  value - boolean
  
• admin_tools.get_privileges(player_name, priv)
  Checks the values set with admin_tools.set_privilege, returns false if not set yet
  player_name - string
  priv - string
  

License of code and textures:
WTFPL

Dependencies: none

Links:
Download

Craft:
There are no crafting recipes on propose, only server admins should be able to get these items. Right now you do this by using /giveme or by adding the item to your player's file in "world/players" directory.

+1 for this Mod and the Idea

nice idea! i like it 10+

Here is a present, you can merge it (CC0):


It will send a message to all players if someone died (name + died).

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player)
    local name = player:get_player_name()
    minetest.chat_send_all(name.. " died")
    return true
end)

It will send a message to all players if someone died (name + died).

Public Domain is not a license. What it means depends on the jurisdiction, and in some countries, eg. Finland, there is no thing called "public domain" at all.

If you do this as owner of this work, you wave all rights into public, so there should be no problem.
There are only problems, e.g. with old books, which are in some countries CC0 after some years of the dead of the author, without his/her permission.

Minetest will not start. http://prntscr.com/9k8fw

[EE] No Dependencies found


Please fix these Mistakes and report this post, a moderator will delete it

The mod has no dependencies.

The current version did not work for me (function was called before it was defined). So I made a little fix. I call this version 1.0.1.

This fix is too unimportant to me to create and maintain a full fork, so I just drop the zip file here.

Installed this on my creative server because I had to remove some stray locked chests, iron doors and unknown blocks, only to find that my users would run amuck with the stupid admin wand.
So much for "admin" tools if everyone gets to use them!
