This looks sooo fun. Hope I'll see a server soon in my region running it.

Hey there i like this mod very much but how about with a password function?

So uhm how does it works exactly? Hotkey in-game? For dedicated servers only?

Pro tip : Argue with server admin and ask for it.
Pro pro tip : not now, whatever could be your arguments, they will not accept unless I release the planed admin panel.

Already planed, and would add more ...

You can use it on all type of game (singleplayer, multiplayer, dedicated multiplayer), it would simply add a diplomacy button for all players to access the interface.

I got it already, it seems this mod does not work with multiplayer games already in-progress. I started a new game and UI has appeared in the top left corner of the screen.

*by does not work I mean UI does not appear, its missing

Finally! Have been looking for something like this ever since I played with this once

Yeah for now it only works on new game, but with the admin update, it will be fixed.

Just put an update for internationalisation, bug fixes and some preparation to Permissions.

FYI, I forked this mod and did some hacks to be able to hook it up to flsw_auth, it is now running quite splendidly on the pvp server : viewtopic.php?f=53&t=23269

I've take a look at all those modifications and a lot are really interesting, in fact when I made the mod I had times and this last week and for aproximatively a week there would not be any update.
On my case I'm working on three things :

• Unit tests, because I've seen a lot of bugs and the only way I've seen is to triger these special cases
• Permissions, because I want to have the diplomacy gui to let player seeing status in addition to setting them but not having random guy changing them, by default if there is no admin and it's not set as no admin, the first player joining would be the admin. A remote interface would permit to access those settings. There will be a setting to change output to all, admin only or nobody.

And just in case ... you have some security flaws, other players can still change other color, Instead of locking to see other players settings with the player force selection, lock every function that need admin rights, including changing player color, toggle of admin powers should be in settings

Heya! Thanks for the fix to player color

I've made two pull requests, one standalone just with the fixes I made and one that adds the auth functionality. Btw, I'm planning to add a proper role management interface to the auth mod, so that clients can do access control using lists of roles and action tables instead just an admin/not-admin function.

I think unit tests are a great idea, it's quite difficult to debug these multiplayer-only functions when developing. (I need to add more tests to my code as well).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by a remote interface allowing access to settings, in any game where admin functions are required the console will have to be disabled, is there any difference to having the authentication interface internal or remote?

Thank, I will looks for them, on my side the auth system is too simplistic, I was doing something equivalent to permissions in minecraft, the main idea is that mods and players needs to authentificate with a double salted hash, could be affected to group and then permissions could be set between groups.

Remote control would permit to admin to inject predefined settings using scenario control.lua

Hi, I found plenty much logs showing while playing with this mod. I saw many print_all calls in control.lua.
Are there anything we can do to truen logs or should I edit the code to prevent these logs?

Just to make some information clear, I couldn't make an update until this bug is fixed viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23587

For now I'm working with a workaround but it's like using chewing-gum to keep a crane stand still ...

Bad issues with the mod
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23716&p=148917#p148917
I can't bear the constant console sound and playing with only half of my screen when I get attacked

I've updated the mod to remove all those debug messages

Does not work, no "Diplomacy" button on a dedicated Linux Server. Andy ideas?

Hi, very nice mod !
Are you still updating it ?
It would be nice to have an admin (maybe the first player creating the map would be the admin by default) and then other player connecting would have limited rights. But admin would be able to promote other players to admin rights.
