[Mod] WorldEdit [1.0] [worldedit]

[sfan5]

Actual hacking is very hard and has a very small success rate.
Modified clients can place nodes everywhere , but only in their range.
It is also not possible to create items out of thin air.

...but "bugusing" is easy

I'm not aware of any bugs in WorldEdit that would allow e.g. placing 100x100x100 cube of water without permission.

[hoodedice]

Nice mod... Only problem is that it can be used for mass grieving as it was recently in a couple of servers when hacked clients managed to flood spawn and areas around it with 100*100*100 blocks of water.

If you are talking about the Xanadu server, they didn't have WorldEdit. They went to a place out of the protected area, and made poles with dirt, then connected them to form a square. After that water source was simply placed on the top.

I don't think that is true... The square that you mentioned was created by me. I intended to try and cover the top layer of the water as I thought this would get rid of it... halfway through I realized that whenever I covered one water node another source would appear beneath, So i left it so that the admins would get rid of the water... Using WorldEdit :/

[Achilles]

Also this hasn't happened again on Xanadu after Wes42033 and TenPlus1, the two admins, disabled WorldEdit where as it has happened at least twice on another server... Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing mod, (helped me LOADS of times), but it does have its downs.

It doesn't need to be a bug of worldedit. There is/was a bug of the mesecons mod which allowed everyone who uses the commando block to get every privilege...

Thanks for the tip :D

[Sokomine]

I don't believe it was a bug in WorldEdit either. At least not until someone can testify that he/she checked the privs of the suspect(s).

There is one player on RedCrabs server who has developed a way to build with his client in an automatic way. I don't think your everyday griefer would go to such effort to build something like that. Still, it is a very intresting concept.

Do you want more tips?

Sure... Am against grieving tho :P

I don't know exactly but I think it's possible to simulate a tnt hole on a no anticheat server. The nodes would be "digged" at the right positions and without anticheat there isn't a digging speed limit.

You can do that with the anticheat restrictions in-place too.

[Achilles]

How fast could you dig if there was no speed limit for digging?

[sfan5]

How fast could you dig if there was no speed limit for digging?

The server limits it to 50 percent of the original time, but it practise I was not even able to spare 25 percent digging time.

Even without a pickaxe?

No, you of course need a pickaxe.

Hybrid Dog: Thanks :)

Ah OK... Thanks

n.p.

Kool... What server do you play on?

[Achilles]

If you havent played on Xanadu... You should try it :D

[temrix]

I have worldedit installed. How can I import schematics now? I have tried "//load" before...

[Temperest]

Hi temrix, //load is indeed the correct way to go.

Make sure you have your schematics in the correct location!

For example, if I had a schematic called castle.we (or castle.wem if you have some older schematics):

• Put the file in the MINETEST_FOLDER_GOES_HERE/worlds/WORLD_NAME_GOES_HERE/schems folder.
• In the game, make sure you have position 1 set, using something like //1 or //p set1 or the equivalent action in the GUI.
• Use //load castle to load the castle schematic.
• The schematic will be loaded with one corner at position 1.

Let me know if you have any issues running this.

[temrix]

It always says to me that "//1" or "//p set1" are invalid commands. Do i have to activate the mod somewhere? I have downloaded it before that from the GUI and tried it again with the latest version direct from github.

try //pos1, //pos2 and //p set

[twoelk]

Probably unrelated but ...
I have a map that has something similar to complain on startup. That is before I have the chance to use the console.

As it is an old map that I broke some time ago and I just recently got to run again I thought it was some rest of the formally corrupted map. Sadly by now I changed so much stuff and files when trying to fix the old map, that I have no idea what finally did the job.

I was so happy wandering around in my long lost world that I ignored the warnings of the WE. Thinking of it now it might have been during some WE process that I broke the map in the first place.

[temrix]

try //pos1, //pos2 and //p set

It always says "-!- Invalid Command: /pos1".
I've tried "//pos1", "//pos2", "//p set" and "//load test1.we". I've tried "//load schematic-test1.we" too, both with ".we" and without ".we".

[sfan5]

try //pos1, //pos2 and //p set

It always says "-!- Invalid Command: /pos1".
I've tried "//pos1", "//pos2", "//p set" and "//load test1.we". I've tried "//load schematic-test1.we" too, both with ".we" and without ".we".

Are you sure the worldedit mods are enabled in world.mt?

Nice, this did the the trick. I just had to enable the mod in the world.mt
Thanks for your help1

I've got another question. Is it possible to load a map direct from a schematic or make a flat world which I can load the schematic from ?

[Mikerhinos]

You can make a flat world with the "flat" flag in your minetest.conf.
Here you can see all available flags https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf.example

[Temperest]

Hey temrix:

Make sure you have this line in your MINETEST_FOLDER/minetest.conf file:

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

mg_flags = flat

Mind you, it will make all of your worlds start generating flat lands.

If this is not what you want, here's how you make a custom game that has flat worlds:

• Copy the game you want to base it off of. For example, I might copy MINETEST_FOLDER/games/minetest_game and name that copy MINETEST_FOLDER/games/minetest_game_flat
• In that game folder (make sure there's a "game.conf" file in there), make a file called "minetest.conf". In that file write "mg_flags = flat".
• In game.conf, change "name = WHATEVER_THE_NAME_WAS" to "name = WHATEVER_YOU_WANT". For example, "Minetest Game Flat".
• Now start Minetest. When you create the world, you will have the option of making it of the type Minetest Game Flat or whatever you named it. Choose this option.
• Now your world will generate flat, while your other worlds are unaffected.

Personally, I just change the option to flat when I need it and then change it back afterward.

[temrix]

I just have deleted my post because I already figured it out myself.
Definitely will try out your second way too.

[Krock]

[*]In that game folder (make sure there's a "game.conf" file in there), make a file called "minetest.conf". In that file write "mg_flags = flat".[/*]

.. or just open minetest.conf in the minetest folder and change it there. Or get "a" flatgen mod if you are too lazy for this.

worldedit seems to crash the server when sending //y command
