playerfactions
A simple mod which allows player created factions. Not very useful on its own, it becomes very powerful when combined with other mods.
Usage
We can choose a mode : single or multi factions.
By default players can only be in one faction at a time. If you want to allow players to join multiple factions at once, add player_factions.mode_unique_faction = false
to minetest.conf
Parameters marked with square brackets ([]) are optional; most of these are only used if mode_unique_faction is false.
There is an admin privs to enable every functions for every faction : playerfactions_admin
These commands can be used by anyone:
/factions create <faction> <password>
: Create a new faction/factions list
: List available factions/factions info <faction>
: See information on a faction. For faction with lot of member we can choose the length of the member's list that's going to be shown by addingplayer_factions.max_members_list = int
to minetest.conf, default is 50./factions player_info <player>
See information on a player : joined, owned and administered factions./factions join <faction> <password>
: Join an existing faction/factions leave [faction]
: Leave your faction
These commands can only be used by faction owners and players with the playerfactions_admin privilege:
/factions kick <player> [faction]
: Kick someone from your faction/factions disband <password> [faction]
: Disband your faction/factions passwd <password> [faction]
: Change your faction's password/factions chown <player> <password> [faction]
: Transfer ownership of your faction
This command can only be used by players with the playerfactions_admin privilege:
/factions invite <player> <faction>
: Add player to a faction

Using playerfactions
in your own mod
I strongly recommend reading through the init.lua
file; the functions at the top give you a pretty good idea of how to use it, but just in case you're short on time I'll list the most important functions below.
factions.version
is a variable made to check the version of the playerfactions mod to assert compatibility:
- factions.version == nil for firsts version of playerfactions mod
- factions.version == 2 is the first time this variable is added, with adding multi-faction mode
player_is_in_faction(fname, player_name)
:true
if the player is in the faction,nil
in other cases (faction or player doesn't exists or player is not a member of the faction)get_facts()
: Get a copied table with all data. The structure is :
{["name_of_faction1"]={
["owner"]=name_of_the_owner,
["members"]={["name_of_a_member1"]=true, ["name_of_a_member2"]=true}
}}
get_player_faction(player)
: Get a string with the faction a player belongs to,nil
if they haven't joined a faction. In multi-faction mode, it will return the oldest created faction which player is into. (it's not necessarily the one they joined first. It checks the facts variable from the top)get_player_factions(player)
: Get a table with the faction(s) a player belongs to,nil
if they haven't joined a faction. The structure is: {name_of_faction1, name_of_faction2}get_owned_factions(player)
: Get a table with the faction(s) owned by a player,nil
if they have the ownership of no faction. The structure is: {name_of_faction1, name_of_faction2}get_owner(faction)
: Get the owner of a factionchown(fname, owner)
: Change the owner of a factionregister_faction(faction, player, password)
: Create a new factiondisband_faction(faction)
: Disband a factionget_password(faction)
: Gets a faction's passwordset_password(faction, password)
: Sets a faction's passwordjoin_faction(faction, player)
: Sets the given player as belonging to this factionleave_faction(faction, player)
: Remove the given player from the specified faction
Note that all of these functions have sanity checks : if faction or player does not exists, it return false. If operation succeed, it return true or the needed value.

Multi-faction mode and various other improvements added by Kalio_42.
This mod is loosely based off of the (unmaintained) factions mod made by Jonjeg.
