Areas mod for Minetest 0.4.8+
=============================
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Configuration
-------------
If you wish to specify configuration options, such as whether players are
allowed to protect their own areas with /protect (Disabled by default), you
should check config.lua and set the apropriate settings in your minetest.conf.
Tutorial
--------
To protect an area you must first set the corner positions of the area.
In order to set the corner positions you run:
1. "/area\_pos set" punch the two border nodes.
2. "/area\_pos set1/2" punch only the first or second border node.
3. "/area\_pos1/2" set position one or two to your current position.
4. "/area\_pos1/2 X Y Z" set position one or two to the specified coordinates.
Once you have set the border positions you can protect the area by running:
1. "/set\_owner <OwnerName> <AreaName>"
-- If you are a administrator or moderator with the "areas" privilege.
2. "/protect <AreaName>"
-- If the server administraor has enabled area self-protection.
The area name is used so that you can easily find the area that you want when
using a command like /list\_areas. It is not used for any other purpose.
For example: /set\_owner SomePlayer Diamond city
Now that you own a area you may want to add sub-owners to it. You can do this
with the /add\_owner command. Anyone with a area can use the add\_owner
command on their areas. Before using the add\_owner command you have to select
the corners of the sub-area as you did for set\_owner. If your markers are
still around your origional area and you want to grant access to your entire
area you will not have to re-set them. You can also use select\_area to place
the markers at the corners of an existing area.
The add\_owner command expects three arguments:
1. The id of the parent area. (The area that you want it to be a sub-area of)
2. The name of the player that will own the sub-area.
3. The name of the sub-area.
For example: /add\_owner 123 BobTheBuilder Diamond lighthouse
