[h]ServerExtended v0.4 Stable/0.5pre2.2 Unstable[/h]
This mod is a collection of useful commands and features meant for servers.
(Post updated 3/20/2013)

Features:

Modules can be enabled/disabled from init.txt in a way that keeps the modules from being loaded at all in the server, therby reducing server load.
Individual Modules are configurable from simple, easy-to-read text files.

VIDEO:
Feature Demo video, a bit boring, showcases some features and glitches of the unstable version.

KILLER FEATURE: Ranks Module WIP
Admins can define ranks with different privs in serverextended/ranks/config.txt
They can then specify one rank as the default. Now all new players will get those privs.
Afterwards, they can be changed with /setrank, /demote, or /promote.

• /setrank [playername] [rankname]
• /promote [playername]
• /demote [playername]

Config: serverextended/ranks/config.txt


TeleportRequest Module
Allows players to request to teleport to each other (privs: se_tpr, se_tphr)

• /tpr [name]
• /tphr [name]
• /tpy
• /tpn

Config: serverextended/tpr/config.txt


Homes Module (Optional item cost for both commands)
Allows players to set one home each. (privs: se_homes)

• /home, /sethome

Config: serverextended/homes/config.txt


Warps Module (Optional item cost for /warp)
Allows admins to specify server-wide warps that players can then teleport to. (privs: se_warps)

• /warp [warpname]
• /warp [blank] (shows all warps)
• /setwarp [warpname]
• /delwarp [warpname] (Admin Only)

Config: serverextended/warps/config.txt


Admin Tools Module:
Extra tools for admins (privs: se_admin)

• /clearinv [name (optional)][configurably players can use.]
• /god [name (optional)]
• /heal [name (optional)]
• /morning, /evening, /night, /noon etc.

Config: serverextended/admin_tools/config.txt

Player Extras Module:
Extra commands for players. (privs: se_player)

• /m [name] [message](/t, /message)
• /r [message](/reply)
• /spawn
• /suicide

Config: serverextended/player_extras/config.txt


Economy Module WIP [Disabled by default, somewhat useless until finished]:

• /bal [name (optional)[/*]
• /pay [name] [amount]

Config: serverextended/economy/config.txt

Challenge accepted.
Stuff works (did not test economy), however:

Teleport requests always do not teleport due to an engine bug (mostly when lagging). A workaround would be to attempt to teleport 5 times or so at a very fast pace so that you're almost sure the players are teleported.

Also, /god returns no message when it is typed. Maybe "/god <player>", "/god <player> on" and "/god <player> off" (toggle and force on/off) could be added too, but this is more a suggestion than a bug report.

Lastly, putting capitals to config file names is not really a good thing -- as a Linux user, you probably know that. ;)

Fun fact: I actually tested this mod on a netbook. :D

Thank you Very, very much Calinou! This is a great help.

I'm not so sure about rapidly teleporting the player multiple times.. What if it dosn't lag? Then the player will be teleported 5 times to the person, and if he moves, it will look really odd..... I might do a poll on this.

Also, don't test Economy, there's nothing really to test, I've made sure there's no bugs on whats there.

Updated

Changelog 0.03:

the teleporter module, its almost like MineCraft's tp command...
request: tpa [name]
accept: tpaccept
deny: tpdeny

Lol, indeed, that is what it is based off of.

The original commands I used were /tpr, /tpaccept, /tpdeny.
Jojoa suggested to make them smaller.

Does anyone use this mod yet?

I will test it when I get home but I can't make a server for more than me and another client. Also can you make a guide to different features like /god I still don't know what it does

I will, right when i get my pc back :/

Yey :D
Btw, its pretty much stable as far as I can tell. Waiting for some feedback before I add more features.

i will test it when i get home. what is god mode and also could you add a /renamewarp and if the game is singleplayer then the privs are given by default.

God mode just sets your health to 20 every server tick. You can actually still die when you fall from a very high height, but you will respawn where you died with no consequences.

The /removewarp is called /delwarp

I don't want to give privs to singleplayer by default, because thats how I test the rank system.
However, if you must, just add singleplayer.txt to the playerdata folder, and
rank him up, or add this to the first line: rank = Admins

im sorry but when i run the game with it the mods give me cant run for most of them. also maybe you should make it a modpack to make it easy for server host to disable certain mods.

The way you disable certain mods is by opening init.txt and changing the values to true/false

Can you post the error you have?

This is a great mod which my mod cannot compete with. Good work.

Note: in admins level config, you forgot a space after se_clearinventory_admin, which cause issues for about a half an hour :L

And I'll just help you make this one better instead of having people have to choose between 2 of them, have you heard of auctions?

Darn, I need to make error chacks for the config files.

And yes, I would love help :D
If you'd like, I'll give you permissions for the github account so you can push to it.

Auctions sounds like a good idea. I need to get my arse up and working on the economy code though.

lol! and awesome! and the player should have the warp list sent to them if they just do /warp

Yeah... If you can make that work, great. Because of the way warps are stored, its hard to find a way to store a correct list of warps without introducing lots of room for bugs. Im thinking mabye a table in a file or smth.

I'll add you to the github as soon as get on a real computer. (On kindle ATM)

EDIT: Do you have a github account? I cant seem to find you.

Look at how the /mods and /privs commands list stuff maybe?

Oh.

I spelled him with an l XD

And thanks, I will.

Instead of simply repeating the teleport a bunch of times in a row, you could record the teleporting player's staring position and the destination, try to teleport him, wait for a short delay, then test his new position and if it is still closer to the starting position than the destination, repeat the (request, delay, test) cycle. unless the maximum repeat count has been reached. Something like (WTFPL):

Good idea !
TYVM

I have so many ideas right now, need to make a to-do list.

EDIT:
how effective would something simple like this be?


I also have ideas for a player profile/info system using formspec.

@jordan4ibanes: You are now listed as a collaborator on github. I think that means you can push to the main repo.

Traxie21 wrote:EDIT:

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

player1pos = player:get_pos()
while player1pos == player:get_pos() do
player:setpos(player2pos)
end


Would be fun to see when the teleporter is jumping/running/falling/swimming. :P

Yeah... I didn't think about that.

I need to think this through. Don't expect a change on the tpr for awhile.

EDIT: Warps are now saved in warpslist.txt in the world directory, in a table format instead of files. This increases speed, effeciency, and allows me to do more with it.

I would suggest taking my example above instead, and simply recording the name of the destination player instead of the coordinates of the destination position. Then simply get the coordinates of the destination player each time do_teleport() is called, both for the check and for the argument to player:setpos(). That way you'll only teleport them ONCE, but it should be to your updated position if it takes a few attempts.

Working on a warp GUI, it's stable enough to put in the unstable github :D
Also, added warp descriptions.

So far no bugs, except that if the warp text is too long, it runs into the description.
It can be disabled with Warp_GUI in the config.txt
If it is disabled, it will use the normal text list.

You cannot tell by the screenshot, but /setwarp does work with it.

Profile System:

WIP



At the moment, it's just decorative, but I'm working on the functionality.. The message box will be in the big open space.

Unstable version of ServerExtended bumped to 0.5pre Check main post for changelog. Theres still a lot to do for the GUI module, keep it disabled by default. Also, setrank is now fixed. It won't crash anything though.
Use the unstable instead of the stable, ironically, the unstable is stable-er...

I will be unable to work on this for most of next week, so have a teaser video of 0.5 instead.

I just got 0.4.5 when I found this. I tried anyway despite the warning. Twas a mistake. Are you going to update this? I would love to use it. I tried to make this same mod yesterday (before I found this), but being VERY new to modding, I gave up for now.


EDIT: Never mind. I only clicked on the 1st page. After I hit reply I saw your above post.
