Add option to restrict import of external bp with size(or something else)

Post by Masamune00 »

Hello,

We currently have an issue in our server, some griefers just import bps which increase size of savefile to like 600mb or something, and we don't want to disable bp import...

Would it be possible to add an option to restrict bp size import with the implementation of whatever you feel like is easier to do ? (like could be just string length of bp, number of items in the bp, size of bp after import...)


Thanks you for your time !
Regards,
Masamune00

You probably want to restrict maximum amount if blueprints a player can own. Otherwise if you set the size to 10MB, then a griefer could just add the dame BP over and over.

I can agree with and support this idea, and concur with Stringweasel that you'll want to limit the max size of the BP book on at least a per player basis. Maybe even have it as a permissions thing where admins can bypass this limit.

I do feel as though this request probably should've been in the general ideas section, though, vs modding as you'd generally want this available to a vanilla game so it can be activated without disabling achievements.
