It would be great if we could have access to some ChatServer functions in our server-side lua script to send messages to client chats - sendServerAlertMessageToServerChat - sendMessageToServerChat - sendMessageToAdminChat

Suggestion to make it a bit easier for server mods to handle some of the situation. Most of it is doable in a hacky way but having those in the core engine would just make it cleaner and more efficient for us. EVENTS: OnServerPlayerConnected (playerObj, isNewPlayer) When the player officially connected to the server, passing a parameter to inform if it's a brand new player. Use cases: Show a message, an existing player has connected. Show a message, a new player has connected. Do something every time a player join. Do something one-time only when a new player joined for the first time. ___________________________________________ OnServerPlayerDisconnected (playerObj, reason) When the player has left the server, passing a parameter to inform the reason of leaving. (Logged Out, Kicked, Banned, Unknown/Crash) Use cases: Show a message, a player has left and why. Do something special when a player disconnect based on the reason. ___________________________________________ OnServerPlayerSpawned (playerObj, isNewCharacter) Similar to OnServerPlayerConnected but also trigger after re-spawning a new character (after death). Use cases: Do something every time a player spawn. Do something when a player spawn with a new character. ___________________________________________ OnServerPlayerDied (playerObj, reason) Trigger when a player has died, potentially add the cause of the death. Use cases: Show a message, when a player died and why. Do something every time a player died.

So now that I think about it. If adding a OnServerSave method, could probably get a param that specify if the shutdown signal has been given. Would probably be good to trigger that event before the saving of the GlobalModData so that we can still change stuff in it. local function onServerSave(isShuttingDown) if isShuttingDown then -- do something before saving only if shutting down end -- save stuff end Events.OnServerSave.Add(onServerSave);

OnSave seem to be only a client sided event after looking at the source. Added this into a server script file. Called `save` and `quit` and no print.

You know what, I will test that thanks. I'll confirm here if it does it.

Hey hey hey I know it's me again with yet an other safehouse suggestion. Suggestion Allow owner to assign member roles. - Co-owner, similar to owner but cannot kick owner and cannot promote member to co-owner. - Member, give access to the safehouse as a member, allow respawn. - Visitor, default role allow the player to sleep, drink from tap water and use doors, disallow respawn and looting.

Hello it's me yet again, Some mods require to save files or data into files that are kept into memory. The ability to save that data when ever the server is going to shutdown would be a blessing. Suggestion Adding a server event named 'OnServerShuttingDown' that allow server mods to do a finalization work when the server is shutting down. Result Saving files and data when the server is shutting down.

Hello there again, So custom safehouse set by admin are a great feature that we appreciate alot but when player accidentally un-claim the safehouse the job needs to be done again. Suggestion Added a special variable to an admin defined safehouse so that when it is un-claimed it is not deleted but marked as not claimed and self-claimable again. Result People who abandon or accidentally un-claim a custom safehouse area, will be able to re-claim again as if this was a normal safehouse.

Hello there, The way safehouse works is that it select a whole building and set the area 2 square out each side and doesn't check for the Z axis at all. Suggestion Add a Z axis to the safehouse, by default self-claimed safehouse would still be from zero to the maximum stories. But admin custom safehouse would have the possibility to set the starting Z and ending Z axis when defining the zone. Result Gives the possibility to divide apartments into multiple different safehouses, manually by an admin.

Would be great to have an option in the `mod.info` to prevent my mod of loading if an other mod ID is found to be enabled. This way we can have multiple mods into a single workshop project that offer different flavor without overwriting each other when people auto-enable them all. Example: disableIf=OtherModID name=FlavourRed id=FlavourRed disableIf=FlavourBlue disableIf=FalvourYellow

I share my Utilities class here, it add a variety of useful function to help make mods implementation works both in SP as in MP. It contains client only functions, server only functions and shared functions that can be used by both the client and server. The networking functions give the modders a way to make networking code work also in Single Player without needing extra code to handle that. It also give functions to check if a player is admin and moderator that both works in single player and multiplayer. For the admin function to be true in single player the game must run with debug mode enabled. This post will be updated if I update my version of the Utilities class with future game updates. Post suggestions, errors, fixes, refactor ideas of this class in this post to help improve this class.

This post is for requesting two new global functions followed with a description and pro/con. __________________________________________________________________ The functions: Json Encode A function to serialize data into a json string. Json Decode A function to deserialize a json string back into data. __________________________________________________________________ We currently have access to an external LUA json library that works pretty well. But using an Java version of it would save a lot of LUA calls and run much faster especially for serializing large amount of data. The function de/serialize a Kalhua Table as a Json Array or a Json Object. __________________________________________________________________ Pro: - To use an exposed java json serializer would greatly improve the performance compared to using a LUA json script. Con: - Require TIS dev team to implement it and make it exposed and bug less.

So I have a custom spawn point system which let the player choose a location to teleport to. It seem that player (non-admin only) get kicked when running this command: playerObj:setPosition(x, y, z); It's seem that the anti-cheat detect teleportation from a distance as a cheat. It is probably the wanted behavior for the anti-teleport purpose but I wonder as a modder, what would be the proper way of teleporting a client. Trying to set the player position from the server side didn't do anything on the client so maybe an example snippet as to how to do it would be helpful. Any mod setting the player position probably will kick with Type 2. Admin account don't seem to get kicked from using the setPosition, or even setX, setLx, etc...
