  • Make the TotalFreedomMod more flexible for server owners

    @videogamesm12#1470 Remove useless features like Reddit integration, 4chan mode, and several joke commands. These aren't required to run and serve no use other than for a one-off joke. If I recall correctly, one of the joke commands was literally a school shooting joke. Useless things like these do nothing but bloat the plugin even further and are hardly used.

    Could you compile a list of commands you think need to be removed and raise them in another suggestion? That would be a good way to start this process as that way it's transparent with what's being removed and why

    @videogamesm12#1470 Make messages customizable and consistent. Judging from some of the limited bits of source code from Plex that I've seen, this was going to be a thing in Plex but since that isn't likely going to be finished due to recent events, this idea should be implemented into the TotalFreedomMod. I actually have attempted to implement this in the past on both the 5.0 codebase (on a scrapped fork of the plugin that I was working on for my own server) and more recently the 4.3 codebase. Both attempts were successful, but somewhat hackish. As a server owner, I don't want to have to recompile the plugin if I want to change what a command says.

    I agree with this, and I think it may even be beneficial in the longer term to look to work on some sort of actual multi-lingual solution as well to allow for translated messages.

    @videogamesm12#1470 Move the shop to a separate plugin. Not every server owner wants to have a shop on their server. This isn't a core feature that's needed to run a free-op server.

    I think for now given the shop is part of TF it does make sense to keep it as part of TFM, though I agree it's certainly not the ideal design and we probably will want for various reasons to split it out in the future, but that's probably not a job for today.

  • Executive Approval Polls - Fionn

    @Miwojedk#2179 Very possible, but they were voted in originally as I understand, and this is in line with the current policies.


    I would suggest a new suggestion should be raised if you want to make that change, the admin processes is something I'm already looking at but haven't had a chance to do much with up to now, so if there are changes the community want then we can certainly look to adopt them...

  • Make Plex's source code available to the public

    Plex is not an official replacement for TFM, and given the recent events is no longer a viable one at that.


    I'm going to decline this because while I agree it should be open source, I can't mandate other developers publish their code especially when it's no longer associated with TF in any capacity.

  • allow dropping items

    So I think this needs some thinking through, because I'm not sure we want to be tracking how many items each player currently has dropped, as that'll be carnage and rather detrimental to the performance of the server...


    I'd be happy with this if we can rate limit the drops and as long as we have a system in place to delete all dropped items when they hit a certain cap but I'm not sure how practical that is?
