[Mod] Player Ranks [0.2.0] [rank]

[bigfoot547]

Hello! This mod adds a rank system to minetest!

I wrote this in 0.4.14 and it is suggested you use that version.

Suggestions are welcome. If you have a suggestion, post it on Github or here.

+ Features

• Your rank appears next to your nametag. It looks like this: "[admin] bigfoot547"
• You can rankup with the /rankup command
• 14 different ranks including: admin, moderator, air, void. (The last 2 are meant to be donor ranks.)
• Put your rank in front of your name in the chat

+ Planned Features

• Give a 4-minetest-daily allowance of a random mineral block based on your rank. (e.g. If I was iron rank, I could get an iron, coal, or stone block)
• A lot of feature requests. :-D

+ Screenshots

Nice idea

[DS-minetest]

nice!

There's no possibility to get more privileges with these ranks right now but they're still a nice addition for the nickname when I've got too many ores :)

PS: It would be possible to put the ranks into a table, which describes the required nodes for each rank. Additionally it shortens your code by about 60 lines for the same effect. But that's all up to you ;)

This is an awesome mod! I Will think to fork it!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.
I want to actually not give privileges but instead give mineral blocks on a regular basis. (~4 minetest days.)
Thanks again for the suggestions!

Cool!

Will the rank be displayed in the chat on multiplayer servers?

Great idea btw :) I think about to put this mod on the server where I am moderator...

I made an attempt to do this but it can be a little flakey.

Okay, this would be really great.
I think you know what I mean?
If I'm writing "Hello" in chat...

normal: <minehippie> Hello
something like this: [Moderator] <minehippie> Hello

But this version is also very good, too :)
Thank you for your try!

Greetings Modern Hippie

[DS-minetest]

you mean something like this: [Moderator] <minehippie> Hello

[Modern Hippie]

you mean something like this: [Moderator] <minehippie> Hello

Yeah, that's exactly, what I'm meaning ^^

Modifying chat is harder

[Modern Hippie]

Modifying chat is harder

Oh okay... I'm sorry, I don't know very much about modifying XD Just a little bit of.

It's no problem, if it doesn't work :) This mod is without this feature a cool idea, too!

[azekill_DIABLO]

I don't say it's impossible, but for now the chat is hardcoded!

[bigfoot547]

What I tried to do was use this to handle the message then send my own message like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.chat_send_all("<[moderator] minehippie> message")

Where minehippie is the name, moderator is rank, and message is the typed message.
One problem is that if you type an invalid command, it will send "/command" as the message and not say invalid command only to you.

EDIT: Believe me. I tried. (:-D)
EDIT2: The way to fix the problem in the initial post is to check the first character of the message and if it is a "/" character, then don't handle the message and just have normal operation. Else, handle the message.
EDIT3: Totally working on this later today.
EDIT4: Added in new release: 0.2.0. Haha, minetest is a great place.

[bigfoot547]

One thing, when you type a message, you will see your message in the chat like this:
<name> message
<[Moderator] name> message

But, don't worry! Only you see the first part. Nobody else.

As of 2f56a00, this is no longer a problem.

w0000t people told me this isn't possible in minetest. :o

[octacian]

NOT POSSIBLE!? I did this months ago in ServerTools xD lel

Still, great job! This even has something ServerTools doesn't, that being changing the player nametag. Not for long though, I'm implementing it right now :D (because I just discovered how from this mod, thx!)

Take a look at the source code of ServerTools though, it might give you a good idea as to how privileges could be implemented for each rank. It never hurts to have more than one mod that does the same thing anyways.

Thanks for the feedback!
About the last part, I think that the server moderators and admins should be responsible for this. If you want this feature, you could make a fork of the mod. Thanks for the suggestion! :-)

P.S. This is my 50th post! :-D
