6 June, admin commands

The post says we can spawn a random sword/gun/shield..., right? I imagining people will just sit in one place and spawn everything until they found a decent sword/gun/shield instead of go looking for it

 

Nice, fishes. Really nice When all of your's team are in London i see every week few blog's. I'm happy with that But, please make servers more stable. Servers (maybe only in Poland) aren't too much stable. 10 players with diamond drills can crash server. Few mods can make veeery unstable server.

And if you can, please make unstable update with all content what are you making now

 

Like some people mentioned, a couple of more things would be useful as well:
-A way to unban players in-game (if the ban command is not a toggle already)
-A way to mute and unmute players for x minutes or permanently (preferably both with the same command as toggle)
-Some way to teleport to a player (or to bring your ship to a player's ship if the former is impossible)
-A command to make a planet invulnerable to any possible modification
-Join messages and a MOTD that gets displayed on join (can be modified in-game perhaps or in config)
-Tempban command, or could implement this in the ban command (where you would have to state a parameter for time or perma)
-RCON support, possibility to use all of these commands via console (this would be amazing)

Other than that, the list is very solid and will be a huge improvement on vanilla starbound servers, glad you guys did not forget about multiplayer after all.

EDIT: Also, a few player commands would be cool as well, trivial stuff like /who (lists players online) that everybody can use, but that could be something for another time (or for wrappers).

 

When will these and all the other previous features be releasing on the steam version? (my last update on it is still from about two months ago, even after reinstalling did not change it, despite many posts about updates here; I thought you guys had stopped updating the game for one big update, but I keep seeing people acting as if all these are already out))

 

They haven't been pushed to either branch (stable or unstable) at this point.

 

An Unband and and ban list would be great.

But, finally, some multiplayer commands.
A lot of people will be happy.

 

so no right date yet?

 

Nevar!

Seriously they aren't giving dates out anymore because falling short of a best guess is tantamount to treason.

 

Planet generates when player arrives on it.
Devs said that planet coordinates used as seed for planet generation algorithm so it's always the same every time as long as it generates within the same version of a game.
For now it's possible to revert planet to it's initial state by deleting planet save file from "\Starbound\universe\" folder. Obviously it's not a solution for a running server.

 

Stability on servers can only be achieved when cheating/modding is blocked, what is likely impossible to do so people will keep cheating and exploiting the whole content, the commands for admins do not cause problems unless you decide to use them on singleplayer (if they work there)

 

I agree with almost all of the suggestions posted here, as well as:
/clearinventory <player>

• Clears someones inventory (for, greifing/hacking items etc.)

/spawniem<itemID><player>

• Lets you spawn something in someone's inventory

And possibly making moderators with only ban, mute, none of the server/planet/universe controls?

 

I know weather has been mentioned, but if I may suggest allowing for just /toggleweather as well as /toggleweather [weatherType] In this way just a standstorm/meteorshower could be stopped/started without messing with everything, as well as allowing for an admin to specifically start, say, a blizzard on an arid planet.

 

It's called "admin commands" for a reason. It's not for everyone. And it's going to be even better when they implement server-side characters.

 

what's the difference between a softban and a ban...? From the syntax they both look the same to me. Just curious...

 

This sounds like a great idea, Tiy! Thank you for adding these commands. =3

Some suggestions that I have are a command to back things up, as well as potentially create a way to protect regions within certain areas of a planet.

 

Man this next update is going to be HUGE!

 

Okay, I am not requesting for an ETA of such. But I do want to know what else they are planning to add before they release this update? because I am so excited for it.

 

General use for all players

for servers
/Claim claims a world, similar to /protect but only admins and player who claimed it can change it limited to one per player
/Unclaim resets status to default
/visit toggles whether people can visit your ship. if your ship is blocked you can't visit others either
/shipban <player> bans a specific player from warping to your ship if active you can't warp to their ship either

sp and mp
/resetspawn resets spawn point to character location usable on planets or ships
ship only
/visited show list of visited planets, ~ 10 most recent plus planet you started at and claimed one.if yoou have one. .
/visited x sets jump coordinates to x and pops up a confirm to jump there.
/spawn warps you to the default world (if set) to the first world you visited if not. Possibly with a reduced fuel cost
planetside
/environs gives more detailed scan of planet (suggest same thing for ship planetary scanner)
Planet size
main biome
after tier two unlock Sub biome(s)
post tier three unlock Dungeons (y/n)
post tier four unlock weather hazards
post tier five unlock primary npc race
post tier six unlock mini bosses (y/n)

/replant Auto replant trees and plants w/ seed.sapling gotten from them (toggle)

Many of these could be done with a wrapper, however i suspect wrappers cause more latency then it being in the code. please let me know if i'm wrong.

Apparently the latency is negligible.

 

/weather to stop/start weather
/tp to teliport to other players
/setspawn to set the planet new chars spawn on

thats basicly it honestly

oh an
