Disabling certain ! commands in test mode

Hello forum. As you may or may not know, I run the TROUBLE server. Now, it is a less than serious server for sure, and I intend to keep that mentality. For the time being, I want to keep it in test mode for the enjoyment of others. Being test mode, players are given a very large amount of power, and that includes spamming and, in TDM, the power to spawn halls which crashes the server instantly. In TDM, this ALWAYS happens. Warnings will do nothing. I seek a solution to prevent chat spam, and to remove the !hall command from my server. Can anyone help me on either of these?

 

I am not sure if removing things from ChatCommands in rules/common scripts works but you could try it, or just delete the halls script if it is TDM?

 

You can make it will load object only if player will not say "!hall" by adding two lines.
Add this line:

Code:

if (text_in != "!hall"){

here:

Code:

bool onServerProcessChat( CRules@ this, const string& in text_in, string& out text_out, CPlayer@ player )
{
    if (player is null)
        return true;
 
    const bool canSpawn = sv_test || player.isMod();
// add this line here

And this:

Code:

} 

Here:

Code:

// try to spawn an actor with this name !actor
        string name = text_in.substr(1, text_in.size());
 
        if (canSpawn && server_CreateBlob( name, -1, blob.getPosition() ) is null) {
            client_AddToChat( "blob " + text_in + " not found", SColor(255, 255, 0,0));
        }
    }
// add this line here
    return true;
 
}

I hope this will help.

 

It probably would if I knew what file I add those lines into. c:

 

Base/Rules/CommonScripts/ChatCommands.as

 

Holy hell, it works! You're a miracle maker. Sorry it took so long for me to implement it. I don't know why I held off on it honestly, there hasn't been a single time i've been away from my server to find it crashed, and restarting it now is a chore because kag2dservers.com takes 5 minutes to do anything now.

 

To stop them from spamming the chat you can also do this: (all in ChatCommands.as)

Under the #include lines, add

Code:

int minTimeBetweenInSeconds = 1;

so it looks something like

Code:

#include "MakeSeed.as";
#include "MakeCrate.as";
#include "MakeScroll.as";
 
int minTimeBetweenInSeconds = 1;

and then find these lines

Code:

    //spawning things
    CBlob@ blob = player.getBlob();
 
    if (blob is null) {
        return true;
    }

and put this under there

Code:

// Check the time since their last message, and see if they should be allowed to send another
    if (blob.exists("message sent"))
    {
        s32 timeDifference = getGameTime() - blob.get_s32("message sent");
        if(timeDifference < (50 * minTimeBetweenInSeconds))
        {
            client_AddToChat( "Please stop spamming", SColor(255, 255, 0,0));
            return false;
        }
        blob.set_s32("message sent", getGameTime());
    }
    else
    {
        blob.set_s32("message sent", getGameTime());
    }

the whole top part should now look like this

Spoiler: Click for code

Code:

#include "MakeSeed.as";
#include "MakeCrate.as";
#include "MakeScroll.as";
 
int minTimeBetweenInSeconds = 1;
 
bool onServerProcessChat( CRules@ this, const string& in text_in, string& out text_out, CPlayer@ player )
{
if (player is null)
return true;
 
const bool canSpawn = sv_test || player.isMod();
 
    if (text_in == "!bot" && player.isMod()) // TODO: whoaaa check seclevs
    {
        CPlayer@ bot = AddBot( "Henry" );
        return true;
    }
 
    //spawning things
    CBlob@ blob = player.getBlob();
 
    if (blob is null) {
        return true;
    }
 
// Check the time since their last message, and see if they should be allowed to send another
if (blob.exists("message sent"))
{
s32 timeDifference = getGameTime() - blob.get_s32("message sent");
if(timeDifference < (50 * minTimeBetweenInSeconds))
{
client_AddToChat( "Please stop spamming", SColor(255, 255, 0,0));
return false;
}
blob.set_s32("message sent", getGameTime());
}
else
{
blob.set_s32("message sent", getGameTime());
}

I posted the whole file at http://pastebin.com/uBtNmPfH but the indenting became skewed

I don't think the time in between is actually correct (as in, I don't think 50 ticks is 1 second), but it seems to be quite close. If someone knows a better way, it would be much appreciated :)

 

use getTicksASecond() function:
if(timeDifference < ( getTicksASecond() * minTimeBetweenInSeconds))
