Sneak-peek: A Ton of New OPAC Options
Added 2022-11-16 13:30:38 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I'm once again back with another OPAC sneak-peek. The upcoming update 0.16.0 is going to be the final major update for the OPAC beta, after which I'm going to switch my main focus to the map mods and only fix bugs for OPAC for a while. Once I'm certain that the beta is stable, I'm going to fully release the mod as version 1.0. There will be major updates to OPAC after that but the changes will come a lot slower, at least the ones I will personally make.
The upcoming update is so large in terms of feature count that it's basically impossible to get through everything without boring you to death with a 1 hour long video, so I made a shorter video just going through the updated player config screen and showcased a few options at the end. Feel free to pause at any point to read the tooltips. But that's not even where it all ends. There are also a ton of additions to the main config file. In fact, that's where the main feature of this update is: the ability to create custom block/entity/item exception groups for your server that each get their own custom player/claim config option. For example, an option that allows killing specific mobs or breaking specific blocks inside a specific sub-claim, or an option that prevents specific entity types from entering a sub-claim. That is what the specific interaction options are in the video at the end of the player config. You get some by default. Other main config features include a list of static fake players for better mod compatibility with things like Integrated Tunnels, with working claim protection, a separate permission for non-OP admin mode, a new type of entity/block exceptions for any held item interaction and more. I'm also adding proper support for game clients without the mod installed, adding a command for party transfer to a new owner and other things I can't remember at this exact moment.
Feel free to download the default server config file and take a look for yourself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5b8fgken6mqi1ve/openpartiesandclaims-server.toml?dl=0
Tip: If you're using Notepad++, switch the language to Python to get pretty accurate TOML syntax highlights and make the config file way more readable.
Thank you for your continuous support!

Thanks! What I've definitely learned from years of modding is that you can never make things too configurable, especially when other mods are at play. I bet this still won't be enough for some rare cases, but it pretty much covers every reasonable config-related request I've received since release. The biggest thing I worry about is if the mod is too confusing to get into, so I definitely need to work on a user-friendly guide.
