Author Topic: Loading Bricks Without Permissions or Removing Permissions  (Read 1736 times)

I run a server, and seem to have bad luck. The bricks clear every 10k or so, be it a power outage, someone stepping on the router, the thing crashing, etc.

This is only a problem because when I reload the bricks, they're all mine! My patrons aren't too happy about this, and I hate giving out permission to everyone and that whole mess. How do I make bricks editable by anyone? Occasionally I'll find structures on my server that have no owner and anyone can edit, and I often see the USSR server with all bricks editable by anyone, but I can't figure out how to do this myself :(

I've tried loadPersistence(SaveName); but that just gives an error of "can't find function loadPersistence"

Help :(

edit: setting the BrickPublicDomainTimeout to 1 and then leaving for a few minutes doesn't seem to work for me, or anyone else on my server.

The reason the BrickPublicDomainTimeout does not work is because the bricks become public domain when you leave, but once you rejoin they are counted as yours again. I do not think you could make it so saving also saves who owns the bricks, without remaking the saving system, but someone may be able to save who owns the bricks in a different file then load it. Not knowing enough about scripting myself, I am not sure if this could even be done. You could still give out the trust to everyone who wants it, then go into "base/config/client/trustlist.txt" and remove the names of people who you don't want to have your trust. I may be wrong about the path to the file because I do not have an installed copy of Blockland on this computer so I can not check. I hope this helps.

i don't care if person A is able to alter person B's bricks, we all trust eachother, i just want to be able to release control of the bricks to everyone -without leaving-

I am aware of this problem. 

I hope saving with ownership is fixed in the next release, I have a similar problem :-P
