Server Rules Module

for NidToolbox Light

requries nid-core module available here

This module enables sever owner to enable and enforce set of Server Rules. Certain actions of the players can be restricted, until they have accepted the Server ruleset.

Server Rules module offers:

• Prevent player actions as: mining, digging, loitering, tree chopping until they have accepted server rules.
• Module has own AuthProvider, which means it does not mess or interfere with Server's established laws or demographic systems and allows for module to have more granular control on what players can and cannot do.
• Provides means for the admins to help protect the server from players, who log just for short time and create mess on the server.
• Ability to customise Rules popup - it supports all standard Eco's formatting- such as: <b> <color=yellow> <u> or icons.
• Ability to customise confirmation button that displays the required info to the player, prior to the rules acceptance.
• Easy reloads, without the need of a server restart.
• Configuration of the plugin can be displayed at any time, without the need to dig into the files themselves.
• Possibility to require a password for the Rules acceptance, that can be hidden somewhere within Rules text. It helps assure that players actually read the popup
• Ability to easily display players, who have not accepted the rules yet.

Future plans:

• This module will be extended in the future to allow the ability to prevent or limit certain actions for exact amount of time , issue temporary bans and such.

Requirements:

As any module of NidToolbox set, it requires nid-core version 1.0.1+ module, available in the main forum thread: here

Settings files:

Config files are located at Mods\NidToolbox\Configs\

RulesConfirmMessage.txt - stores the text for the Confirmation Button (see below) that displays the final conformation message to the player, prior for them accepting the rules. The lookout of this button can be tested via /rules-showbutton command. Button text also supports standard Eco's formatting tags .i.e <b> <u> <color> or even icons.

All config files are created upon first start of the plugin.

See below for examples.

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible - given there is support for such change:

to move the subscribe-get notified button closer to the download button or in some location that is easier to spot.

This it fhe element I am talking about:

On my discord I got questions via DMs on how to get update notification from my updated modules, decided it might be worth trying getting this button somewhere where it is easier to be found.

This feature gets activated automatically for posts user posts in, but not for files they download.

Thank you kindly for reading!

Hello Eveyrone,

My name is Rafał, I'm from Poland, found Eco while watching one of the Let's Play series on YouTube.

Found the game super appealing to me and to what I like to play and quickly started server for myself and a group of friends I usually play with.

Ever since then we hosted a few worlds with different settings and now are back for the updated version 9.0 to check what is new.

Outside of playing Eco, I also enjoy modding it, especially the server itself.

Player Manager module

for NidToolbox Light

requries nid-core module available here

Useful in day to day administration of your citizens.

Player Manager module allows:

• Easy player resets to the starting state, including reimbursement of any deleted alpha backer items, (see below for screenshots) each time you reset a player, a confirmation window will be displayed - providing the details of the reset, as well as targeted player and their information. This allows you to abort the procedure at any time.
• Setting of required profession levels, including up levels and de-levels;
• Resetting individual professions to the unlearnt state;
• As it is impossible to target talents by their localised (translated and displayed names), this module provides a helpful way to remove talents either one by one or enmasse. Popup window will list all of the player's talents, including their links, so administrator may ensure they remove a desired talent.
• Ability to obtain geo-location info on the player, their IP address and details about it. Allows to detect players using same IP address, for administrators who use this feature.

Code

/talent-unlearn targetPlayer, talentName

/job-set

Set specified skill to the desired level. This command sets the job level to the one indicated by the issuer.

NidToolbox Light

Modular set of server tools for Eco

** powered by and compatible with em-framework **

nid-core base module

NidToolbox Light brings back the old NidToolbox plugin for previous versions of Eco, in more manageable and modular format this time around.

Each module works independently, being versioned separately - with only nid-core component being required. Server admins can mix and match modules they need for their servers.

This project is a work in progress aiming to overtime bring back all of the features of old NidToolbox to Eco 9.0+. As I sadly don't have as much time to work on the project as before, modules will be released as I develop them. Your patience is appreciated <3.

Support is provided as well as suggestions are accepted on my Discord here

It is not required, but if you would like to support the development of the plugin, donations are accepted here

Core module does not do anything by itself and to get any functionality out of it, you need to download one of the available modules. Documentation and installation instructions are available at the module's page. You can find all the links below.

Currently available modules:

• Chat Logger - logging chat in realtime
• IP Logger - providing data on each logon and logout, fully customizable. Can log to server log, console, own log, or all at the same time.
• Player Manager - contains commands useful in day-to-day player management, ability to Reset Skills, Talents and progression, set Job Level and refund specialisation points of any player on the server, geo-location and more.
• nid-Core - this module. Download at the top of this page.
• Server Cleanup - Set of server clean and maintenance commands, allowing for removal of mining rubble, tree debris, stumps etc. Generates detailed report on rubble present on the server.
• MOTD - Displays welcome message to players logging in, accepts all Eco's formatting. Stores MOTD in a text file for easy edits. Managed from command line and/or config files.

Upcoming modules:

• Action Preventables and Temporary Bans
• Chat Tags
• Financial Administration
• User Homes
• Rules and Server Changelog
• Scheduled and Timer Messages
• Marriages
• Minting Rights

Plugin Management:

Settings can be changed either via in-game commands or through editing of settings configuration files. See each module page for details. Due to their nature or tasks performed, some modules may not have any configuration files.

Requirements:

em-framework 2.1.0+ (already included in the package).

How to install:

Unpack the content of the .zip archive, copy it over your Server's Mods folder.

em-framework.dll as well as nid-core.dll go into Mods folder. Individual modules are installed into Mods/NidToolbox/Modules directory.

A little late to the update party - but it looks awesome - thanks! All the features of the old forum are indeed here, and some better.

How to run NidToolBox on local server: (your own PC you play the game on)
1. Don't run the server from the in game menu, instead
2. Go to Eco_Data\Server directory. You will find an exe file there called EcoServer.exe this is the 64 bit executable we need (DO NOT RUN EcoServer32.bit!)
3. Run this file, it will start your server.
4. Run Eco game, from the menu select Your Worlds and your server will be visible in the left pane

Just a reminder for users running NidToolbox on their own local machine, as it was the cause of the problem reported to me most recently on Discord:)

Hello @lucasninja26 and welcome to the forums. To diagnose the issue, it would be required to deliver the most recent log from Logs folder. It would be best if you could join our Discord server where it would be much easier to provide the help you need. The link is in the main forum thread for NidToolbox. Feel free to also PM me on Discord nid#3035
