yeah saving dups for yourself (as opposed to saving them onto the server) would be nice

I love this, Better than the last one I had to use. I'm surprised few people are actually using this one. I'd suggest them to use this instead.

It was downloaded over 6000 times so definitely not few people using it.

If someone still has an older one they most likely just don't know it exists, so you should link them here!

Do you think that once you're done developing new features for this, you would consider removing the stuff it adds to the welcome message? I honestly think that mods that add random messages to the chat when a client joins (in an unsolicited manner) are sort of a plague in the mod community, because way too many mods do this and it makes servers look awful. I kinda understand that you wanted to get people to quickly adopt it, but it's been a few months now and most of all the servers worth knowing use it now.

Also this doesn't really apply to anyone but why do you use namecheck.txt? I wanted to rename this to Tool_Duplicator so I could overwrite the old one on my server and be done with it, but instead ended up needing to do more work just to install it with that name. :c

As far as I know the namecheck.txt is necessary for an add-on. More work? Changing the contents of the namecheck file takes like five seconds in addition to renaming the ZIP.

First i used the older one cause i tought it was too complicated to my simple mind.

There isn't any message when you join though, unless either version is outdated.

The updater doesn't work if you rename the file.

The namecheck.txt isn't needed at all. It'll run without it. I put one in all of my mods though, just because.
The only case I can think of where a namecheck.txt would actually be useful would be if the mod uses a file path inside of the add-on that can't use ./ to find the root. Like item icons(but even then you could use a function to find the root if you wanted).

Okay, sorry about that.

does this work perfectly on bot holes?

very fast question

I found out when using the /cut system on bots, the bots don't delete. I think Badspot should fix his bot holes if the brick randomly goes missing.

dups are all saved serverside. if you want to load a dup on someone else's server you'll have to pm them a link to the save or upload it manually.
Is there a specific reason for this?  It would be nice to be able to save just your build to either re-dup onto your own server, or load into another server.  Would sort of replace Nexus' buildbot in a sense.

Downloading files takes time and bandwidth on both ends. Having a file upload/download system for everyone who uses the new duplicator would also be prone to having unsafe things downloaded/uploaded.

nevertheless, its doable. people like visolator and buddy have uploaded files directly from their computer to my computer using eval - the reverse is also possible, as buddy has literally "stolen" mods off my blockland installation.

I've no idea how safe the bls loader is, it will probably just crash on an invalid file. Sending the data to clients and safely handling data uploaded by clients is much more complicated than just keeping it on the server side.
