Buildbot - Load saves without admin - Beta Release Almost Here!
Rykuta:
I think you're missing the option: "This mod would piss off server hosts who don't want little noobs loading builds randomly."
If you're going to release this, you better make it so server hosts can disable its usage, otherwise you're just griefing server hosts. If players were meant to load bricks without admin, they'd be able to do it already.

This would be the best solution, but I would think the whole mod would be kind of pointless because of the grant load trust add-on. Or ate least I think there is one.
I think it just makes it so if someone has your build trust or full trust they can load bricks or something.

Can you actually do that though with this mod? And post ASAP, the suspense is unbearable.

This mod will:
-Not load ownership
-Probably wont load wrenched properties
So just load normally if you have the power.

Nothing that can't already be spammed with macros, which come with the game. I could write a server script that would break this in two minutes, but that would also remove some functionality from the game altogether, and then I would feel obliged to write a work-around for BuildBot, which would be considerably more complex.
In the end, BuildBot would still work, but then it would be laggier and some other things on the server would be broken and everyone would be unhappy.

I doubt this would work anyway, since macro speeds do not change when the timescale changes.

Oh, duh.
Also maybe you could do a half-private release, such as releasing just on here since noobs don't come by here that much. Or host/post the file on some obscure add-on/BL blog/forum and link it here.
