Should I release AllOrb?
-Jetz-:
It isn't an exploit if the server host knowingly allows it. Just make it clear what your add-on does, and it shouldn't be a problem.

But this does sound useful for things like Freebuilds, or collaborative work.

I think Lugnut made a mod a while back that shows the name of the orb owner. Would work well in conjunction with this.

you can do this already with permissions

A different color is definitely a good idea, I'll look into that.
As for the speed difference, how much do you think it should be? (Assuming changing a camera's speed is possible.)

No in all seriousness, this would be useful for a Private free build
not sure about a public one

Presumably I would have the sense of mind to make the thing toggleable before releasing it.
I hope.

but I think you should finish it before releasing it

Yeah, I agree that it would be a good idea to finish it before releasing it.
As for the options, one is "Yes, you should release it after you finish it up", whereas the other is "No, you shouldn't."

This is a much more specific mod and as a result has the potential to do things like controlling where the players can orb into.

Non-admin orbs already have the orber's name over them. I'm stupid, not stupid. Oh, wait...

Well done repeating what someone else already said.

I'm really not sure, to be honest...
Another way could make it non-admin orbs have a time limit? Like, you can only be in the orb for, say, 30 seconds before it warps you automatically, to help stop people abusing it? This however, could be changed or turned off in an RtB pref, for those that want it to be something different.

I don't quite see why a time limit would be necessary, but I could add it and just default it to off.
