Version: 2.3

Author: Conna

Information:

This mod simply protects props, this mod works on simplicity and tries to focus on getting one thing working, as oppose to multiple things that don't work at all.

Features:

• Supports creating addons, such as the one that comes with it that protects ECS props!

• Protects nearrly every prop!

• Nice menu system!

• Nice UI to show you who owns the prop you are looking at!

• Grouping system!

• Takes advantage of the undo system!

• Takes advantage of the Player:AddCount() and Player:AddCleanup() functions

• Takes advantage of the Entity:CallOnRemove() function!

Will propdefender still be updated? :(

Does it let the admin scoot players around with the physgun?

Oh dear.

Yes Shanjaq, and no Vitdom.

Huh?

Whoops - double post!

Quick question: What addon are you using to stack props in those two screenshots?

Entity Command Suite - it's the best around!

I believe this is a newly renamed revamp of PropDefender.

Indeed - but without the cool features such as spam protection and builder-groups, which will later come as addons maybe. For now it should be simple and work on doing it's job, which is protecting props.

Please do help me out by requesting mods that spawn entities that you would like this to protect!

now does this defend all players props from admins?

Hey Conna I tried to send you a PM but your box is full! If you have AIM, I'd like to suggest something for PropSecure. My screenname is the same as my username on here.

I have msn - which is connacookmsn@gmail.com

Thanks, I like simple things that do what they are meant to.

can you upload somewhere else?
please

Glad you took my advice about modularity. Having a base package and allowing users to expand it to their needs and not yours is always the best and fastest way.

Take out the unnecessary "[PropSecure]" messages... they're irritating at best.

I beg to differ!

Did you at least leave the one function from PD that assigned a prop to someone named the same? That would be good for all the addons out there that had specific support for PD. I don't really feel like releasing a new version of every single one of my addons just to rename a function...

If not you should add that one function for legacy support.

Funny title Conna, care to explain what the hell happened?

Oh god, another one :(

Does this add you as an admin because I have a dedicated server.

I answer you for that..

Really? Notice how I removed PropDefender thread. This is the new PropDefender.

Edit:

Goto garrysmod/settings/users.txt and see the example there.

Edit:

Yeah - okay. I won't release a new version yet, people don't like it when you release them all the time. I'll wait for a bit till I find more bugs/have more suggestions.

this is cool, here is a list of stuff it must be able to protect
-phoenix moeld pack 3
-gmod plus 2.2
-military models
-vehicles(GMOW 3, VMOD,CARMOD etc.)

p.s. ill add more later

It is allready suported , it is not like he added every single model path he wanted to protect, it just simply protects EVERY model. Even those who aren't out yet

Hamp is right, it should already protect them pal.

Edit:

New version shortly with PropDefender groups (Much more simpler this time and doesn't have that panel thing PropDefender had)

Conna whats with all that shit on your name?

People getting mad at him so he got his own custom titles.

Just wondering, but does this prop protection script Make dynamite and cameras nearly impossible to use like all the others?

No - and it protects it fine.

I'll stick to your mods. :D

Cunna had an emotional tantrum :(

Ain't that the truth?

We love you Conna. <3

How many more threads are you going to request deleted?

how many more of connas threads are you gonna ghost rate?

I requested it to be deleted so I could have a fresh start with a newer cleaner version actually. Ghost rate me all you want - just goes to show your maturity over mine, eh?

Download Version 1.1:



Changes:

• Group system like PropDefender but simpler and much more basic, instead of grouping as such you just allow a single person to touch your props

Images:





To access this menu type PropSecure.Menu in the console!

Just tried it out, and it's not protecting props that have been stacked with this tool: http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/s...d.php?t=254916
Would it be possible to support this tool as well?

Sure - I'll add that in the next version!

Good work! i'll remove the old one

Good job i kept the old Propdefender.zip

Am I right if I say that this deletes players props immediately on disconnect?
If so, could you PLEASE make an on/off toggle (or just a false/true thing in the config file) for that?
And what Willmaker said would be much appreciated!
Other than that, you're doing a very good job. Thank you.

That was the whole point of making prop defender different files,
So you could toggle/download the things you wanted for propSecure.

So how do I make props stay, after owner leaves, for X seconds?
If that would be in the configuration file, it'd be nice.

Uh, they should always stay, maybe another mod deletes them? Like the other prop protector addon?

No. I did a clean install of my server, right before I set it up. All I've got on it is SpamSecure and PropSecure.

Wierd.

That's what your old one did i had made a base with a friend and i made most of it and i crashed and came back it was all gone!

Looked so funny!

Yeah, Please add the OverloadUT Stacker to the list of protected addons/prop creators.

The guys on my server use it alot, and we recently had HELL trying to get a different defender to allow us to even remotely touch the props.

So, I'm hoping you'll add support for this one, so I can switch to this.

Just one other request. Can you make a chat command, like "!allow name" and "!deny name" ? Just cause "PropSecure.Menu" is a little awkward.

Heh, one last request. Make a "So-and-so is letting you use their props!" message for when people add you to their "list"

Thanks for listening to my whining and complaining!

<DELETED>

"So-and-so is letting you use their props!" Already appears.

New version!



New features:

• Mah nice menu!

• Now takes advantage of the undo system!

• Takes advantage of the Entity:CallOnRemove function!

• Supports a simple grouping type thing!

• Admins can delete all of a players props in the menu and it shows how many props they have!

To access the menu, type PropSecure.Menu in the console

OR, use this Admin Mod plugin!

To use it type /ps in the chat!

To install it, put it in your Admin Mod/Plugins/ directory!

Sorry, I was posting from my laptop for that one, so I didn't actually get a chance to try it.

Does this new version support the stacker stool?

No, unless OverloadUT makes his stacker stool support this.

I don't know why but mine seems to break after some time. All of a sudden nothing's protected. Has anyone else had this problem?

No sorry - I tested for about 4 hours straight and this didn't happen, any errors?

Conna you rule, thank you.

I'm getting this error.

************************************************** ***************
Error calling die function PropSecure.77 for entity Vehicle [576692180]
ERROR: autorun/PropSecure.lua:176: attempt to concatenate local 'ID' <a userdata value>
************************************************** ***************

Okay Synth, I'll look into it, it shouldn't cause too much trouble though.

I think I possibly found the error, I should check the type first really.

For some reason I can never be an admin, it won't let me use the admin menu
and I did add myself to user.text

Arf !! little mistake ! You need to remove the '//'
And in order to avoid problems, put you in only one group

So, your user.txt should be like that:

Do I remove the instructions too?

This mod doesn't protect props spawned by any stool. It also breaks after a little while. Had someone join my server and just use the remover tool on everything I had built.

Wierd. I played for like 6 hours straight and it never broke and it protected everything, another mod you have installed is probably returning true at the end of a hook preventing others running.

Hi .

Just installed this to are server , its very good but we keep getting crashes of the server , here is the errors we get when it crashes we are using ulx and we can recreate the crash by removing all my props options from the menu.

hope you can fix.

Jon

I have hunts mod. suppose there is a conflict?

That can't be related to PropSecure as we don't use them functions :(

Works like a charm, the only thing I dislike is the fact the bit that says whos prop it is is over the death icon bit thing.

Ekk! i wonder whats causing the problem , we only have ulx installed on the server no other mods , could it be ulx? .


thanks again

Jon.

You can see in your error message the word 'Ulib', Conna said he doesn't use the function CalcView and you add you have only installed ULX mod..

So.. I think the error is caused by ulx ! hmm ? if you want to fix that problem, you may post that error message on ulx thread!

I just say this in a server for the first time and I must say that this sucks ass.

I joined a server and played around for a bit then I noticed I could delete & move anyone's props. So I thought "Oh, it's just the server. Conna can't be that fucking stupid.". So I disconnected and went around the servers a bit until I found another with it, and guess what? I could move and delete anyone's shit on that server too. I also realized that your script doesn't even delete the owner of the prop when the prop is deleted so if someone spawns a prop, deletes it, then you use a toolgun ( Such as the stacker ) to spawn another prop and it gets assigned the ID of the deleted prop then your shit outa luck with that prop ( and that really sucks with the stacker because you can't stack more onto it and you basically have to restart your project ).

You're just damn right unfriendly, the chances are the servers went on had your shitty mod installed which cocks up most of the hooks anyway because you can't code.

So stop coming into my threads and being cocky.

I totally agree with conna*

-snip-

I've thought of a better reply.





I'm the unfriendly bitch?

After I installed this it removed a bunch of stools and some extra models I had for the thruster.

It removed weight stool, skin stool and extra thruster models from Gmod plus pack.

I have all the files in the right place for the removed items but they just won't show up in the stool menu. How do I fix this?

I'm pretty much 100% sure it isn't this.

Edit:

Hunts - you have no idea do you.

Funny, because it's remember me a PM that Conna send me when I just released my prop protector addon, with a link to wikipedia for DDoS included.

I understand now why Conna send me 'Stop taking my customer' PMs.. ;)

Conna, you asked me to make a team in order to script 'the ultimate server protection'. The answer is definitively NO

All I know is that after I installed it, a bunch of thruster models and stools went missing.

It could be something else though, just because it happened after you installed this... I'm just saying your problem doesn't relate to the code in this at all.

Does this work with Server Secure?

Yes. All the <Whatever>Secure's work together.
