My fork - ownership of blocks, clans, teleports

[Melkor]

I hope this inplementaton don't kill the use of minecarts even before they get implemented too. Teleport should not be easy to create, maybe using a new and rare material? Just my opinion :)

[Menche]

Teleports aren't easy to create. They require 8 steel blocks, which require 9 steel ingots each. So to get a pair of teleports you need 72 iron ore, as well as a block of mese. I think they should be easier, you would still need to transport things in the minecarts right? Disabling flying would also make it much harder to gather all that iron and mese.

[Melkor]

You are right about disabling the fligth mode, that make a difference, but is still easy find iron and coal, you don't really need to go underground. Just for looking in the walls of a mountain is possible find tons of them. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can even find MESE in the surface close to the spawn point! See the video post in the c55 blog, that guy -sirshadowwhatever- find, just walking, 5 or 3 MESE blocks (im not sure) in a small lake

the one of the problem is that server works only with player coords now - it don't know acceleration of player , only its coordinates. It helps player to change coords without any prevention.

Well first time me testing this on the public server... rather nice but I do have some "suggestions".

Slow down the flight. Too fast.
Change the textures to something that looks nicer.
That is all for now lol

Bllshit the textures pwn.
Anyways to jochoo sry if i spell wrong anyways i think now all mods have to be lua scripted and not c++ check out celerons blog it says adding lua for modding .

[celeron55]

I would be glad if Jachoo would try implementing this stuff using the modding API and report back to me if the API lacks some necessary functions or features to make it possible (so I can add them).

[jachoo]

Damn. So much code must go to trash :/

Sounds to me like mods a comin!

[jachoo]

Blah.

Nowai.

Without client support clans and teleports sucks.

I don't really know what to do now. Shall I implement as much as it is possible now in Lua and leave the rest in code?

[LolManKuba]

I've played this server on your client and the regular client yesterday and some of today but now I can't play, I tried everything, Getting the Jachoo Client, Putting in the password, checking the IP, I litteraly done everything, but I'll still try.

[Menche]

The server probably isn't up anymore; this fork is very old.

[Death Dealer]

Works for me: ) is the teleporters not lua related?

I meant this fork's multiplayer server. It isn't lua related, this fork was created before the lua api and hasn't been updated.

[Death Dealer]

oh ya not working for me either. why no update?: (

[jachoo]

I'm now working on this: http://c55.me/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1047

When finished, I plan to port teleports & clans idea to Lua i Minetest 0.4.

Patience ;)

[Death Dealer]

Ok I'll be patient: ) I really enjoy the server you made: ) your the man!! I'm stoked for mescons and teleporters/portals:3

[jachoo]

Alright...

I see that even with my database Lua interface it's quite difficult to implement clans & portals completely in Lua. It would require changes in builtin.lua and some C++ code changes too.

Also, client-side clan's territory protection is impossible from Lua. Clan name can't be displayed. Teleports' names can't be hidden to players.

There are more problems: clans mod must be loaded as a first mod, to make sure that no other mod will interfere with territory protection mechanism.

Summarizing: it's all growing (again!) into a next quite big patchset, not just a mod. IMO it would be better to include clans support in code rather than in lua (just like auth manager and ban manager). Any comments?

I agree clans and such is better implemented in code but it needs to allow some modification via mods for future compatibility.

[RAPHAEL]

Hate to post again but is there anything currently available for "block ownership"? Just simple block ownership.

[Jordach]

Hmm, I might make a server for this.

[Silverwolf]

the server is up still i use it most often XD

[playzooki]

I dont really like that any non admin player can kick players from the clan. Not sure about the non admin join either. But apart from that, nice fork!
