[Mod] Ban Hammer [0.2.1] [ban_hammer]

[Evergreen]

This mod adds a hammer which bans (kicks, or removes shout privilege depending on the mode) any player it is punched with. The user of it must have the "ban" privilege. To switch modes, hold the shift key and punch while the item is wielded. Works with 0.4.9 and above.

Nicely done!

I don't run a public server myself but I am sure this will go down well with those that do.

One little thing, you might want to check that the user does have the server privilege to use the tool.
Maybe overkill but imagine the consequences should one of these get in the wrong hands.

Edit: Forget that, on closer inspection I see you do check for that, only not where I would expect it.
That should be fine though, my apologies,

how about a milder "kick player" version?

There is no mine test.kick player function, but you could kick them by sending a invalid formspec.

cool, someone did my suggestion.

/kick <player> is a command in 0.4.9

I was planning on switching tools when click and shift is pressed. I might also make one which takes the "voice" privilege. I also might make a formspec appear which asks for the player's name on rightclick.

Oh, I didn't even know you suggested it. :P

0.4.9 stable doesn't have kick if I recall correctly it was added in dev.

I love it, I made a few changes for my server version. I made new textures ( in the normal admin tool colours ) and added chat messages :)

I can add chat messages to the regular version if you want. (maybe make it optional via a settings.txt)

[crazyginger72]

its up to you :) and to be honest im not sure myself how to make a mod check and use a .conf or settinggs.txt for a mod lol!

But i do like all my admin stuff the same colour ( i think i have OCD )

[Evergreen]

Updates (Version 0.2.1):

• "Add functionality to remove the shout privilege, add logging, and add a setting for sending a message to every player."
• "Bump version to 0.2.1"

• "Add functionality to remove the shout privilege, add logging, and add a setting for sending a message to every player."
• "Bump version to 0.2.1"

Also, instead of just revoking the shout command, I might make it bring up a formspec asking which privileges to take.

[crazyginger72]

awesome!! and my fork is now updated with your new code :)

sorry OCD and the colours thing, it really erks me lol!

Cool mod.. If this is craftable.. How about adding some fun feature.. When It will be used without ban priv, it could apply random effect (kick/ban/mute) on person who used it..

Interesting security idea! If someone dares use it, it will backfire. :3

for 4 mode it could act as a admin sword.

Meh, I really just intended it to be an admin tool. There are already "ultimate" admin tools out there. I just have been too lazy to add the stuff I have idea for.

You can add xban support, because most servers use xban now.
