Simple Prop Protection

[MrMatt]

[QUOTE=Armada651]It doesn't work for who? The admins?[/QUOTE]

no no, if Admins can do anything is enabled, then the prop damage protection does not work at all FOR ANYONE, personally I would not see them as being related, but then again, why else would I be having the issue?

[Yukitan]

[QUOTE=ConnaCook]Clearly not, I mean I would say it was good prop protection but there is probably a certain plugin out there that is better, maybe you should try it PC Camper ;)[/QUOTE]

Yes it is the best prop protector, because unless a lots of others, that one is REALLY only a prop protector, not a shitty excuse to call it prop protector and add load of useless content in it, that one has all what we need for a prop protector, and don't add the useless shit we get in the others.

This addon works, and I'm sure spacetech will have a fix for it soon.

Edit:
Just checked, the admin menu still lets you delete players' props. No other clients were connected so I couldn't try to add buddies, but people were doing buddies earlier on my server, I'm not 100% sure though.

[adamscybot]

[QUOTE=Armada651]It could be that the control panel isn't refreshing. See if it really didn't work.[/QUOTE]

It really doesn't work.

[mrpresident]

People just joined. I set one as a buddy, they picked up my props.
Confirmed.. With this hotfix that Hatred posted, this addon works just as good as it ever has.

[jnewcombe]

works nice thanks for the hotfix!

hopefully an update will be here soon

[MrMatt]

So the bug I submitted is going to go completely ignored?

This bug has been around for ages, I just decided now would be a good time to try to get it fixed when all the mods are getting fixed up for Gmod11...

[Spacetech]

So for you guys the admin cleanup buttons don't work?

Quick fix for now:
See first post

It seems for most people the space in name error is still there. I have this problem on my server no errors are reported it just won't clean up or buddy names with spaces.

Hi guys..

Is there a way to disable world entity protection? I got tired of this addon blocking usage of stargates by their own users, and fixed that with a tweak a few pages back. Now, people can't touch world stargates with the physgun because it belongs to "World". Other prop systems would simly say the owner is 'none' and let you take ownership. I'd prefer that. I think it's a bit ridiculous not to give a "world entity protection on / off" option.

Oh, and when touching something not yours it spams "This is not your prop" tooltip bubbles across the right side really fast. Is there any way to fix this?

I don't mean to sound picky, but since this is the ONLY working prop protection system that I can find, I'd like to help make it perfect :)

- Thanks a bunch.

What version did you edit?
The current version has the world entity protection off for stargates so people can use them, but not remove them

[Cornflake]

I edited the one just released, v1.3.4. It allows usage of the Stargates, but not modifying them with the toolgun / or moving with the physgun. If you look in the console after the map has loaded it says xxx number of props belong to world.

So the gates AND any props belonging to the map when spawned are untouchable by the physgun and the toolgun. I'd just like to disable world protection all together. Here's what lines I edited if it helps:

[lua]string.find(ent:GetClass(), "stargate_") == 1 || string.find(ent:GetClass(), "dhd_") == 1 ||[/lua]

To this:
[lua]string.find(ent:GetClass(), "stargate_") == 0 || string.find(ent:GetClass(), "dhd_") == 0 || [/lua]

I kinda beat you to this already, on page 10 hehe

from what i can tell this does not do anything anymore.

[DrFattyJr]

Good to see all the fixes spacetech but now if you try and touch a world prop, it spams the screen with This is not your prop errors untill you let go and if you only just click it still gives 2-3 errors

[Armada651]

Isn't the world prop protection obsolete now? Since GMod now has it's own world prop protection? Now it prevents the use of the colorable room in gm_construct.

I think this only works on props created in hammer, and is something that has to be done by the mapper of the map you are playing on.

[quote=garry]
Added 'physgun_limited' convar. When set to 1 the physgun won't be able to pick some map elements up. Like doors.
[/quote]

Seems this will keep players from PHYSGUNNING world props, but I still think the ability to use tools on them comes from flags set in hammer. Once again, I could be mistaken though.

[Armada651]

Indeed, it will only limit the physgun, and the protection of the colorable room in gm_construct is set in the entities. Maybe we should request that he makes the world protection complete with a toolgun_limited convar? That will disallow toolguns on map entities unless it is set as allowed in the entity. Then we don't need world prop protections anymore and the colorable room will still be useable.

[Cornflake]

Well reguardless of the physgun protection built into Garrysmod, I know its SPP protecting all the World props because of this message when the server is starting up:

SERVER: ================================================
SERVER: Simple Prop Protection: 453 props belong to world
SERVER: ================================================

I disagree, there is one out there which I don't wanna name cause it's unfair on SpaceTech that is in my eyes better. The same simplicity of this, but protects more entities.

But SpaceTech has still done a good job.

Should have fixed most of the problems up their ^

If someone can confirm that it works, that would be great (I didn't test it)

[CptFuzzies]

Hey Spacetech, just downloaded it and added it, quick reply huh? I see you got rid of the notice spam, but now it doesn't show any message at all. Is this what you were shooting for when you patched it up? If so, NICE! Works perfect then. ;)

Well I thought people would be used it to it not notifying, I was thinking of adding a timer but...It's fine the way it is. If you guys like when it notify's I can re add it

Hi Spacetech,

What exactly did you fix with the gates? Everything seems the same to me. They were working fine before... my whole shpeal about the stargates was just to tell you I'd like to know if there's a way to disable ALL world protection. Not just for gates, for EVERYTHING. My reason being is because I'd like to be able to build on the ice blocks on KOBL in sb_gooniverse, and wire world stargates etc.

Just tell me what lines to modify and I can do it myself. I'm not asking for an option coded in or anything...

P.S. That link above is broken, this is the correct one:

Still Prop Damage Protection/Admins can do everything issue remains...

Find this paragraph of lua
[lua]
if(ent:GetNetworkedString("Owner") == "World") then
if(ply:IsAdmin() and tonumber(SPropProtection["Config"]["awp"]) == 1 and tonumber(SPropProtection["Config"]["admin"]) == 1) then
return true
end
elseif(ply:IsAdmin() and tonumber(SPropProtection["Config"]["admin"]) == 1) then
return true
end
[/lua]
Replace it with
[lua]
if(ent:GetNetworkedString("Owner") == "World") then
return true
end
[/lua]
Anything with the Owner being world can now be touched.

Do when admins can do everything is one Prop Damage protection seems turned off?

You guys are going to end up with me rewriting this whole mod soon :v:

[Armada651]

Thanks for the update!
[QUOTE=Spacetech]You guys are going to end up with me rewriting this whole mod soon :v:[/QUOTE]
Go for it! :D

[occ]

The new version doesn't work for me. It's good for deleting props and such after someone leaves, but doesn't protect props from only the owner touching them. I may have something that conflicts?

Thanks so much! I love you almost as much as the Weighted Companion Cube! Almost.
