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 appropriate 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 an area you may want to add sub-owners to it. You can do this with the /add_owner command. Anyone with an 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 original 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
