FPP: Falco's prop protection and anti-spam.
Tested in DarkRP and everyone liked it!

Are you tired of prop protections spamming you console or chat?
Are you sick of not having a share props tool?
Do you rage when some anti-spam tells you to wait 0.5 seconds?

Here is FPP, an advanced prop protection with everything you could wish:

A tool to share props. Different methods of sharing!
Highly configurable! Everything can be changed to your likings.
Easy viewing owner in the middle left of the screen, also tells you whether you can touch it or not!
No annoying messages spamming your chat or console!
A buddy system that saves your buddies and keeps them in every server with FPP installed!
Very intelligent system to prevent prop pushing/killing/surfing!
An intelligent anti-spam system that never annoys you while you're building!
Crash prevention methods A fix for the wire button model crash!

For Developers nice to know:
Includes CPPI
Owners of props are done completely serverside, which means no NWStrings for every single prop
Clients only know the owner of the prop they are looking at
Settings system only uses one single concommand to change all settings

And a lot, lot more!

Media:
Settings menu and showing owner(Imagine it flying in faster, I'm not good at making .gif files

):

Several things:

Clicking on "Physgun" in the settings menu, advanced options:

Sharing props tool menu:

Nice to see you released for addon, not just for DarkRP. :).
Incredibly useful prop protection, stopped all my server crashes.

How does the very intelligent system to prevent prop pushing/killing/surfing work?

This is a quality addon, I hope it will replace Simple Prop Protection.

It ghosts a prop, but also collides it with your props so it is still easy to build, but prevents kills from worldspawn and props.

One can not kill another player with props.

When a prop is picked up, it will be ghosted. It will go through players and props you don't own.
But it does collide with your own props. This means it doesn't interfere with building!

The anti-prop minge system also makes sure you don't put props in players(you don't freeze a prop in a player to get him stuck) and it prevents people putting props in other people's bases!

Includes CPPI, hopefully I can just slap this on my server and dance.

Thanks!

Don't dance on the server, they're not designed to withstand a person's weight! Anyway, it's great to see a new prop protection system be released. Now I don't have to wait for the anti-spam to let me finish my weld!

Don't worry, it has one of those old pure steel boxes.
I'm not jumping yet, admin settings aren't "saved".

Ooh, a tough server case! I just hope it's ventilated, sounds like it could get pretty hot.

I hate the normal anti-spam.

It said I was spawning stuff too fast. I had finished building 2 minutes ago, and was wiring my contraption...

Thanks! I needed something like this, because my old prop protection crapped out and stopped working. This is awesome.

Edit:

I don't think it's working correctly. I'm superadmin of my sandbox server, using ULX mod, and none of my admin settings are saving. In the console I keep getting this:

Code:

Unknown command: FPP_sendblocked
Unknown command: FPP_sendblocked
Unknown command: FPP_sendblocked
Unknown command: FPP_sendblocked
Unknown command: FPP_Setting
Unknown command: FPP_Setting
Unknown command: FPP_Setting

Did you test it on sandbox, not only rp? :)
1) Antipropkill\surf protector make your props not yours when you drop it from physgun
2) Don't know how, but my props started fall through the earth some time after server start(public server)
That's all for now, testing it...

We were playing on his listen server on sandbox last night. Neither of those bugs occurred.

I think it may be a problem with mods and such with your server, the second one happened quite frequently on a friend's server. Eventually it stopped happening with no warning.

I made a new download banner yay.

McMissile prop protection works fine for me
Hardy neither of the bugs you have are appearing for me.

Tested on both a listen server and a dedicated server.

function FPP.Protect.ShouldCollide(ent1, ent2)
	if not tobool(FPP.Settings.FPP_PHYSGUN.antinoob) then return end
	if not ent1.IsBeingHeld then return end
	if ent2:IsPlayer() and not ent1:IsPlayer() then return false end
	if ent2 == GetWorldEntity() or not ValidEntity(ent1.Owner)/* or ent2 == ent1.Owner*/ then return true end
	local cantouch, why = FPP.PlayerCanTouchEnt(ent1.Owner, ent2, "Physgun", "FPP_PHYSGUN")
	if not cantouch then return false end
end
hook.Add("ShouldCollide", "FPP.Protect.ShouldCollide", FPP.Protect.ShouldCollide)

ShouldCollide is supposed to have static rules, otherwise you will break the physics engine

The reason is the hook ShouldCollide is a certain stage where re-enabling collisions between entities will cause the physics engine to break. You're better off setting collision groups than fucking with ShouldCollide.

what do you mean by "static rules"
Only define certain classes? like "prop_physics can't collide with func_door"?
That's ridiculous. I have had no problems with the current method. I haven't seen anyone elses physics engine "break"

AzuiSleet is talking about rules which don't change throughout the session. So for a certain collision pair you either return true or false all the time.

Perhaps its ULX or another mod causing the problem then. I'll try and see if I can find out what's causing this for me.

Anyway, deactivating anti propkill\surf funciton fixes both problems.
And this is very nice prop protection, especially anti-spam.
Nice work :)

I was having the same problem as hardy, but after disabling anti propkill/surf it didn't do it again. This was tested on a dedicated. A few things I noticed, if you have something with alot of constraints and have check constraints enabled it lags the server. Other than that love it better than SPP.

Suggestion - Ignore advanced duplicator.

Only when it's picked up?
If that's the case, what if someone makes a contraption to ram people with or just tosses it with the physgun?

OMFG, Super Nice job! ][_, ([]) ][_,

Just to be wondering, Will there be a SVN or are you not planning on that many updates?

I just saw 'Anti-Speedhack'

Interesting... going to read the code :P

Edit: Pity, I thought you had found a way to check if someone was using the cheat engine's speedhack

AMAZING, just amazing. This is exactly what I have been looking for in a prop protection system for my server! I would give you every award known to facepunch, and a few not known, if I could. Only one question, Where the fuck is the SVN? (Its a primarily LUA concentrated addon, It's almost a law to have an SVN for this.)

there is not svn.
SVN might come later.

Tool restriction will come, but is not there yet.

So far:

awesome concepts

But, it's been a long time since i made a Gmod server. How do you stop players being able to use the pyhsgun to drag other players?

The bad thing about it is that it can cause the Havok physics engine to break.

Azuisleet warned me for this and now I've had several reports confirming that statement.

However I have no idea what alternatives to use! this no collide system works well if it doesn't break!

Are you using gm_guardian or the ShouldCollide hook?

I've had no problems with Guardian, but have had some with ShouldCollide
