F9 Protection How do you set permissions??

sorry to hear that happen. what exactly do you need to know? i see you have an area created, are you just having problems with the area and group permissions?

ive added 2 permissions files. put them in your area permissions folders. after you make an area with F9 press 2 and look at the area and hold right mouse button. i the radial menu select set default permission and set it to the guest permission. for each player you want to allow to modify the area select add player and assign them to the owner permission. you may need to modify the permissions to your liking. feel free to start a conversation here if you ever need help.

what do you have in the settings for Permissions_DefaultNewPlayerPermissionGroup= ?

with it blank players are not assigned any permissions. download Pve.json and put it in the permissions/groups directory. then set the Permissions_DefaultNewPlayerPermissionGroup=PvE.

any players that have already been on the server you will have run the command setplayergroup playername Pve

ok I did that and it looks like it is working. However, is there a way to add offline players to the protected areas? I forgot to add the player first before assigning the "Owners" permission and it lists only players online when I want to add the real owner.

not that im aware of

I think there's a small error here; the default permissions for an area apply to everyone who enters it. This permission should be "guest."

The player receives their permissions when added to the area, and only then is "owner" selected.

I want to be able to add players when they are offline. The F9 option only lists online players when adding them as the "owner" of that property. A UK player is 15 hours ahead of my time and I have to wait until she is online to protect her area and I don't want her plot to be destroyed.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for areas, only for group permissions, which in turn have nothing to do with the areas.

You can leave the area with the default permission of "guest" until you meet. To prevent anyone from doing anything there, I would also set everything to "false" under "general" and "world."

Post a sign to the player you want to add stating that you have to meet online to hand over the area.

because protection would also affect her until she is added as a player

James, I can't seem to find your "Portals 2.0" thread so if you see this comment, I was wondering if there is a way to alphabetize the portal list or be able to drag them in an order so they are not all over the place in the portal list. Thank you!

there is not. if i get some free time i could look into adding something like that.

I assigned a player their own area and set the permissions to "Owner". However someone named jeim 76561198336041209 came in and destroyed his buildings and terrain. In the logs it said he used explosives. Server is set to "survival" and creative mode should not work.

The player Saturno72 or Michael, as he called himself when he came to my server, placed blueprints in a player's base. I banned him offline. In my opinion, the permission system is also way too complicated and needs to be simplified.
