Description:
This mod provides a api to handle factions as well as reputation of players in different factions.
It supports temporary faction members to allow mobs joining a faction.
This mod is inspired by old faction mod sadly providing a chat interface only. If you currently used old faction mod you can use this one with very few changes.

Notes:
-Factions are world specific.
-data storage is not compatible with old faction mod (sorry)
-formspec gui is missing

Cool!
Can you add a command to set a per-faction spawn point (like for example, a base)?

EDIT:
Tried to execute:

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: /factions create

(note: no faction name given, this was intentional)
This came up:

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: 03:01:32: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: .../bin/../games/testing/mods/factions/chatcommands.lua:385: attempt to call global 'get_player_by_name' (a nil value)

are you sure you didn't do a /f actions create? this bug is in "/f" command handler ...
does minetest subsequently call all matching chat handlers?

e.g. if following ones are registred

/1234
/123
/12
/1

Scratch that... it seems to work now O.o

You most likely downloaded fixed version just this moment, there was a bug in those handlers. Still if minetest calles all handlers I need to recheck some error cases.

spawnpoint is a little bit difficult to add as you can be member in multiple factions. Which spawnpoint should be the one taking effect?

hmm... good point...

by **Jordach** » Fri May 10, 2013 15:43

The first spawnpoint registered. Or give the user a choice for default.

Could you add faction land claiming/selling?

by **sapier** » Fri May 10, 2013 23:54

if someone provides claiming/selling I gladly merge it but for the moment I don't plan to add new features on my own.

EDIT1:
this mod is just bywork for mobf ... and I haven't even done the mobf part by now ;-)

by **keyxmakerx** » Mon May 13, 2013 23:08

What do you add for the <value> part of the command?

by **sapier** » Mon May 13, 2013 23:30

value is true or false I updated main post

by **jojoa1997** » Tue May 14, 2013 03:07

I am debating whether to add this to MiniTest since it is a single mod unlike the other one. Would this be a good one guys? I haven't played any on multiplayer so I couldn't test it.

by **keyxmakerx** » Tue May 14, 2013 05:33

I had one more issue, it kept crashing meh server and I could not figure out what was causing it. It just said nil value.

Post the error here

This was a test to see it /factions sethome worked... it did not to say the least.

This is one. The other problem i think is when someone without faction privs tries to use the mod. I am not sure how to give everyone factions priv to start with.

by **sapier** » Thu May 16, 2013 17:45

@keyxmakerx thanks for your bugreport plz test 0.1.2 containing fix for your problem

Edit1:
initial privs have to be given by server admin, there are 2 privs for factions:

factions_admin:
Can do everything with any faction including creating a faction.

factions_user:
players allowed to use factions in general.

Further there can be faction admins, those can invite/remove any player having factions_user right to the faction they are admin for, as well as give other users admin right for their faction too.

Updated factions mod for usage with mobf

by **BrunoMine** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 01:26

is possible to place a limit of members in each faction?
If the leader of the faction does not want a player between he can banish?

by **sapier** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 23:01

there's no limit but as you have to invite ppl to a faction you're free to stop inviting others ;-)

and yes a admin can "leave" any player ;-)

does this mean you want to add some sort of group behavior to mobf? Like herds fleeing if one is attacked or packs attacking if one member is hurt?
- or does mobf allready have something like that?

by **LuxAtheris** » Wed Jan 01, 2014 02:17

A little suggestion:
Hud please? or even better when your in a guild,your guild name will be above your name.

by **Iqualfragile** » Fri Jan 17, 2014 02:43

/r/ing faction-private chat, best would be 2 commands, one to send one message to the faction, one to change chatmode to faction-private
