Hi,

I have a problem : the server crashes if i put a block out of the protected area.
My server version : 0.4.15

My config :

s_protect.claim_size = 16
s_protect.claim_height = 80
s_protect.start_underground = 20
s_protect.underground_claim = false
s_protect.underground_limit = -300
s_protect.claim_return = true
s_protect.claim_to_dig = true
s_protect.area_list = true
s_protect.max_claims = 100

I just changed the setting : s_protect.claim_to_dig

Log :

2017-07-03 01:27:01: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: Lua: Runtime error from mod 'default' in callback item_OnPlace(): ...test-0.4.15/bin/../mods/simple_protection/protection.lua:33: attempt to index local 'data' (a nil value)

Pros:

• Faster access
• Clear data separation (not squashed into a line of text)
• Optimized disk writing
• Higher data safety on crash
• Deprecates line-read-and-split methods

Cons:

• Yet requires an exception in the mod security to load lsqlite3
• Inaccuracy of doubles when selecting a certain index
• Inefficient when indexing by string

This mod seems to be very useful for almost all servers. I am willing to translate it to portuguese (my native language). Must be compatible with Intllib

I add to minetest 4.14 dev then tnt will no longer damage nodes.

"/ area show" for example did not fit

Game version 0.4.16 PC

Instead of writing to file, get_mod_storage may be used.

I'm working on a mod that needs to protect a public area automatically. Can you show us a code here?
Also I would like to know how to calculate the limits of an area.

Assignment to undeclared global "simple_protection" inside a function at ...buntu/.minetest/mods/simple_protection/functions.lua:200.

Hi,

It seems that when you share an area with some other players, It's not saved. When the server restarts loose all the info about shared areas.

Thanks,

I hosted a local server and joined with two players from the same computer, the frist one named singleplayer1 (hoster), the second one named singleplayer2.

I protected an area with singleplayer1, but singleplayer2 can dig and places nodes there and this player has only shout and interact as privilegs.

Being able to set a maximum number of claims per player will be immensely helpful agains hoarding. It could be called s_protect.max_claims.

I'm currently thinking of adding an API to register groups support. If two players share the same group, the can access each other's areas.

Potential mods to provide support:

• classroom https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=23715
• manipulus https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=20199
• party https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=18588
• ??

For example: /area shareall #classroom. is_protected would then run a callback to check whether another player may access this area.

The core functions should (finally) be documented properly.

TODO:

• s_protect.share
• s_protect.load_shareall()
• Somehow remove the table_* functions or get them outside the global namespace

Useful for server owners to unclaim all areas.

when using /area shareall with more than one person, only the last person has acces to the area. i.e. player one uses share all to grant access to Player 2, Player 2 can now dig everywhere. Player one then subsequently ises share all to grant access to player 3. Player 3 can now dig normally and player 2 cannot.

this behavior only happens with share all. this does not happen when using the share command on individual lots.

The support for them is very poor right now and should be extended to allow server admins to use multiple protection mods for different area sizes or features.

This is a note to myself for the future development but PRs are always welcome ;)

Seen this in MC towny mod, you type /towny map and it shows surrounding areas and their protection:

Could be handy for this mod too.

Just an issue so we can if need be further discuss how/what this needs to be done

Currently we only show a HUD when we are in a claimed area, if we wanted a (tri-color) colored HUD then we'd want to show:

• claimed (with access)
• claimed (with no access)
• unclaimed

I'm thinking Green when it's claimed and you have access (maybe a brighter green if it's one of your own claims you actually claimed),
Red for claimed by you don't have access, and Grey or White for unclaimed. (thus I'm calling it a tri-colored HUD)

This always returns false (I think).

I have all privs on my server including "simple_protection, but i still can't unclaim area's owned by others. I get the "Do not try to modify" msg.

I suspect it may be permissions on the protection.data file on my server.

.

Would you consider adding a sfinv tab with a formspec that allows players to manage what now is only available through the command line?

Chests with access, depending on the area where they were placed.
Already seen in: landrush, default (furnace), chesttools, ...??

Reminder for myself or for potential contributors.

Perhaps we'd want to add a admin only claim item which claims it as only admin / anyone with server priv has access.

I am getting several errors in the translated strings, I do not understand. Because you used $ unlike using @n.
