[game] 0gb.us_game

0gb.us_game aims to provide tools for servers to allow users to manage themselves, as well as a few tools for administration and moderation, while not straying too far away from the spirit of Minetest. It also contains a few usability fixes. For a more detailed description, please see README.txt, included with the game. If you plan to contribute, please be sure to look over it.

Please note that this game requires a version of Minetest that uses the new games/common directory. While I usually try to keep my stuff compatible with stable Minetest, Minetest 0.4.6 will be released in a couple days anyway, and I'd like to get a head start on this, to make sure nothing got overlooked.

Also keep in mind that this game requires a case-sensitive file system. On a case-insensitive file system (*cough* Windows users *cough*), some components disable themselves to prevent damage to your game world caused by this case-insensitivity.

I would call it game.0gb.us

I normally DO use subdomain notation for things such as this. But I found a quirk in the engine. As we all know, minetest and minetest_game are treated as the same. It's either an inconsistency, or the "_game" suffix (if it exists) is removed.

As it turns out, the latter is true. When I first started this project, it was a game called "0gb.us", as it was only used on my server. (There was also a game called 30000.0gb.us, used on my 30000 port, back when port 30001 held my main world.) Before putting it on Github though, I renamed it 0gb.us_game, to be sort of reminiscent of minetest_game. While it now uses common, and ignores minetest_game, it originally copied most of minetest_game, and added and removed things that were needed or not needed.

It does not remove "_game", in some places it uses the folder name and in others the name in game.conf

There are two "names" for a game, the ID wich is the folder name and the game name, wich is set in game.conf
And the engine does strip off the _game at the end of the ID.

Can I make an edited version of landclwaim and points for Minitest.

1. Please use a question mark when you have a question. Its primary use is this--denoting a question.

Second, you can as long as you stay within bounds of the LGPL.

in layman terms please tell me what it means I can do. Also I have read it over and over. Can I edit it but still give credit?

Yes.

That's fine with me, but I don't think PilzAdam wants land claims is MiniTest.

eh the real problem is the bucket. could you have landclaim protect against placing lava and water with right click.

jojoa1997 wrote:The real problem is the bucket. Could you have landclaim protect against placing lava and water with a right click?

IIRC it already does.

nope it accidentally placed lava on traxies server's spawn and it stayed

jojoa1997 wrote:nope it accidentally placed lava on traxies server's spawn and it stayed

Was the bug reproducible?

Yeah, you can place buckets in a protection. Is this updated for the new bucket system?

that is special to minitest since minitest does on_right_click instead of on_use. i am not sure if the on right click is the right name but that is what it uses.

Well, I'll edit the server install of minitest then.

jojoa1997 wrote:eh the real problem is the bucket. could you have landclaim protect against placing lava and water with right click.

Ah. That's due to an update in Minetest. In 0.4.3, when I wrote this, we used on_use(). Now in 0.4.6, it's on_place(). That oversight is completely my bad.

If you want, go ahead, or just update you copy from Github. It's fixed now.

Sorry I have forgotten the name.

EDIT: Corrected the name.

Under this link you can find the game.

Maybe nice
