FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Sethome allows users to set their home position (using /sethome) and then teleport to it (using /home). It may be cheaty some way, but it is really helpful.

Probably you should add cooldown.

+1 I like the idea to have a limited teleport feature...

Too avoid the abuse, you may do a teleport with a maximum 1000 block aways from home otherwise don't move or move a distance of 1000 block in home direction . and die if the partial player move stopped into a stone. hehe

or also depnding of the distance, the command gives damages ;) (light speed is not a human stuff ;) )

this needs to be added into the default mods folder

Added to RTMMP.

Updated, got cooldown and max_distance settings.

I was thinking this as an extension of teleport command.

/teleport sethome - set 'home' to current location
/teleport home - teleport to home location

Merry Xmas to all.

I've add bookmark support to /sethome and /home commands.

You are free to download the init.lua file from here

http://ubuntuone.com/3wZcAwpSjLU7TM9bJxx8n6

Some examples:

/sethome shop

/home shop

(set and teleport to the 'shop' bookmark of the player)

For admins:

/sethome PoliceStation JohnDoe
/home PoliceStation JohnDoe

(set and teleport the user 'JohnDoe' to the 'PoliceStation' bookmark)

default home location still works:

/sethome

/home

(set and teleport to the default bookmark of the player)

You can also show bookmarks labels:

/showhomes

for admins:

/showhomes JohnDoe

Alienhunter3010, nice additions! +1

Nice! Already added your update to my server.

Let me know if something wrong...

I'm not so sure about RegExp in Lua, they seems to be a bit different from Perl or PHP ones...

And I see that if something is wrong on the mod code my local server DUMP (this is a really BAD thing!)

I found a bug! ;)
If you save your position in some world... and then go to another... and try to "/home"... yep, you gonna find yourself in the middle of nowhere. 'Cause /sethome do not store world name :)

There is a configuration option to store the homes locally to the world in the init file.

Alienhunter3010, another bug in your fork has cropped up:

A user tried to "/sethome xxxx", which caused the server to crash with:

12:19:19: ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: ServerError: LuaE
rror: error: .../.minetest/games/vanessae_game/mods/sethome/init.lua:168: attemp
t to index local 'output' (a nil value)

Then that should be default behaviour ;)

I wanted the local worlds save files so I looked at the code and figured out how to do this. It is easy to do as the code has already been written and is just commented out. Two changes to two lines will make this change.

In the sethome directory, there is a file called init.lua, you should create a backup in case something happens. Load the file init.lua into a text editor (I used Notepad++) and change the following two lines, line 13 and 14.



They should be changed to look like this.



All that needed to be done was to add two dashes, the -- to the beginning of line 13 and delete the two dashes, the -- from the beginning of line 14. You just need to save the file and then you can load up minetest and have different worlds using the same position names. I hope this helps anyone that wanted this and had no clue how to do it.

how many homes can i set

Only 1 if you use /sethome by itself. But you can set more locations by adding some text after.

Example:

/sethome mine

will set a location that when you type /home mine it will take you there. So technically it is 1 if you want to use the /home command alone, but many more with location identifiers after the /sethome command.

One warning, if you have multiple worlds, the home position and named positions are the same coordinates in every world so they will overwrite one another unless you make the modification to the lua file that I have mentioned in a post above.

This is not quite correct. It is not "/sethome [location]", it is "/sethome <player>" -- by creating that location identifier, you will be effectively using up a player slot.

To be safer and courteous to other players, prefix your home location with your username. "mine" becomes "<player>_mine" or something like that. In this way, you can't set a home name that is someone else's username, and you can set "<player1>_mine" and "<player2>_mine" so that both players can have mines, preventing from one player from creating "/home mine" and preventing all other players from using that.

Of course, all this only works if they have the "home_other" and "sethome_other" priveleges. If they don't, they can only set one home.

Nope, wrong.

Look at your homes file and the sethome's init.lua file. The player's name is stored with the location name. You are not overwriting anyone else's locations. Maybe you were looking at an old version but the version that I downloaded months ago stores the player info with the location and the location name.

Didn't have Alienhunter's new init.lua. Works now.

Does anybody have a recent version of Alienhunters fork?
The UbuntuOne link doesn't work anymore :-/

I'm particularly interested in the additions Alienhunter made, such as multiple home locations.
