This mod allows the players to know if a player is a murderer or a good player.

Features

-If you kill a player with less than X reputation your reputation will get higher.
-Do /reputation <Player> to know the reputation of a player.
-The reputation is saved in the world folder.
-You can't get reputation two time in a row by killing the same bad guy.
-You can't get reputation by killing a bad guy who is on the same ip than you.



Useful for the new players who don't know who they can trust !

interesting!
you could show the reputation of a player also by coloring the name in chat and hud

Gives incentive to work on clever traps instead of attacking people directly. :)

I'm trying to think of ways to exploit the system. If I created two alt accounts, I could have one of the two accounts accumulate a bit of negative reputation and then just have the two players sit there punching each other to continue pushing their reputations in opposite directions as far as they wanted to go. The "good guy" is punching a "bad guy" so his reputation goes up, the "bad guy" is punching a "good guy" so his reputation goes down.

Not sure what would be a good approach to making this exploit less powerful. Maybe track the identity of the players a person is hitting so that they can only gain a certain amount from hitting any one player? That way a long-running feud with a single person isn't going to affect your score much, but if you run around punching every newbie you meet your score will shift dramatically. Which is probably the best outcome if the goal of this mod is to help newbies identify who's risky to be around.

great idea

Oh I didn't think about that ^^'

I will verify the player ip to check if this is the same person before giving the points.
And maybe some kind of cooldown ... I will think about that.
Thanks.
