[WIP] Guardian - the final replacement for BB, LogBlock and HawkEye

Yup, will also need testing.

I have some Experience with Spout GUIs I have Created a GUI for ModTRS and was about to make one for Logblock but if this project is in development i may be able to help? PM me if you want

speaking of weird block ids we are planning on enhancing our server onces notch gets the damned mod api so we can do some work but this means mo creatures and buildcraft etc will have to be loggable for a viable thing on our server. Im guessing that shouldnt be hard to get into a database to log the pipes etc the main thing im looking into is the ids for ogre damage the bane of the test servers existence XD. My question is will guardian be able to log these new and weird blocks when the modders start thier updates aswell to cover all possible griefing that could be done?

LB and HE are actually already able to log custom blocks, so this is a feature we don't want to drop

Sorry we don't need that position at the moment, and I can do that anyway.
@sephirothtm good to see you here
And yes it is all already there, as diddiz said. We try to work on very generic code, so nothing that can be changed will ever be hardcoded, think of the way TMI works. Also according to @Afforess there is no api, only un obsfucated source code, which makes sense to me.

@md_5 im usually here just dont say much in forums usually hunting up now all i need is world guard and residence to have that hybrid baby and ill be a happy server runner

I"m sorry I didn't read all this, Something I mentioned over in the logblock forums. It would be great if a way was found for flows to be logged by who placed the source block. WaterFlow and LavaFlow for server gen sources.

Also the ability to turn off logging of server placed flows while maintaining logging of player placed flows.

I know it's complicated but I keep having farms griefed by people with buckets and all I can ever find is WaterFlow.

It will be an optional feature due to the amount of cpu required

/lb area 20 type 8 9 created player !waterflow

I had a look through your comment history, and couldn't find it. Here's ours. Note that it's AGPL, the source link is available at the bottom of the page.

@xrobau
We are fine with spout, I have played with it a bit, and @Afforess actually added checkboxes and radio buttons just for me

Yay

Afforess is really amenable for requests

Is it available for download right now, or is everyone just suggesting things? Sorry if Im being stupid :S

No, we are not even like 1/4 of the way.

Big thankyou to MossyCobble hosting who have provided us with a VPS to run testing servers, websites off of etc.

will this be able to run WITHOUT a MySQL or other online databases?

In the future, but not at first release.

We should add a FAQ

On our up and coming wiki of course!

Exactly

darn. well since its coming out in a long time, couldn't you just try make the initial release be able to run without an online Database?

Why not just use one of the big three (BB, Hawkeye, or LogBlock) in the meantime?

Exactly, this is the replacement for them all.
Database support will be via plugins for Guardian, and at release we will develop one for MYSQL.

Just wanted to say keep up the good work guys. We're all looking forward to Guardian!

:O that must mean that it is even gonna be more awesome than the plans already are!

Multiverse and multiworld support?

This isn't a question, there is no point in a single world limitation

Yeah cause there is a problem with logblock and multiverse (logblock isnt doing anything).
That is why i ask

Hm? Did you forget to add the new worlds to loggedWorlds?

I think you should just release it without MySQL required. Most people would use this because of it. LogBlock, HawkEye and BigBrother don't work on alot of peoples server because the database is required, and alot of VPS' are using the CentOS, which mysql does not work correctly on.
