SimplePVE 1.2.10

Please add the "reflect damage" option.

I think it should work like that: if damage is disabled for a specific entity and "reflect damage" is true, then the attacker gets damage from the attack.

Hey there,

just out of curiosity: what do you mean "add the reflect damage option"?

If you talk about reflecting all damage inflicted to players and sleepers back to the attacker I'm all in for this suggestion. But reflection of damage inflicted to entities back to the attacker is a bad idea.

Too easy to accidentally hit a player's entity while fighting a junkpile scientist... and dying from that? No thanks. That's a bad idea to begin with, was already bad in the vanilla server.pve mode.

But yeah, an option to reflect damage would be nice, if you can also configure what kind of damage to reflect.

Yes, reflecting damage to sleepers and players would be the best option.

Also, if we would like to add more customisation, like reflecting damage dealt to entities, it is an option, but only when the attacker is in range of the victim's TC. But there are a bit more "what if" in play.

There is a teedy tiny problem. Too many players in PvE leave their bases unlocked (you don't need priv to open a door) and even don't lock their TCs. In my eyes this is where a) the loot protection breaks, and b) damage reflection about entities back to the attacker ultimately fails.

So the real problem at hand is:

• players need to build sound and upgrade their twig asap
• players need to lock their TCs and not place them on a twig foundation

In my eyes it is impossible to hold the players' hand at all times. I could imagine preventing TC auth if no authed person is connected AND in TC range. This would prevent the attack vector of intruders just authing on an unlocked TC and then just accessing any unlocked loot container in the base, or taking it over. Furthermore unlocked TCs and taking auth on it prevents any meaningful "reflect damage to an entity where the attacker has no building permission".

Finally there are players who place their TCs on twig foundations. While a locked TC is pretty well protected an attacker can still break the twig foundation with the TC on it, and this way destroy the TC and build their own. SimplePVE fails to prevent destruction of twig foundations.

While I like the idea of protecting a player's entities inside their base, I think fitting that into an existing plugin can be quite challenging, whereas preventing player damage is already there. It is not a big step from preventing damage to reflecting it. Hence I believe that is easier and more likely to be implemented soon, should @Iftebinjan decide to do that. Having damage reflection would be nice indeed.

The problem with players bypassing loot protection through authing on the victim's TC could be solved by preventing a) OnCupboardAuthorize, b) OnCupboardClearList and c) OnCupboardDeauthorize while the TC is unlocked. This will force players to lock their TC, teach them better and this way solve the TC auth problem.

Your settings look fine. But notice you've got loot protection disabled, hence unlocked boxes can be accessed by anyone. That is to be expected.

As per "everyone can raid everyone", this is true if attackers manage to auth on the victim's TC. If the TC is indeed locked and players can still raid there must be another plugin interfering.

Please post the output of o.plugins (if you are on Oxide) or c.plugins (if you are on Carbon)

Hello, when using the plugin, should the value "server.pve false" in the server.cfg file be set to false or true? Does it cause any conflicts?

Hey there! You should set server.pve to "false" or remove the line completely from your startup / server config. While SimplePVE may work to some degree, you otherwise should expect for example players getting damage reflected when they try to break their own bases (e.g. remove twig in order to build differently, and die from it). In addition immersion will be tampered with, because you could literally run a monument like Oil Rig with a water pistol, because NPCs don't cause real damage.

If you set server.pve as intended (= false) and leave damage handling to SimplePVE it will work just fine. Add "pve" to your server.tags to make your server show as PVE in the server list, if that is what you want.

Здравствуйте! Добавьте под новое DLC приват. Так же дропы теперь классические грабятся чужими игроками. Заранее спасибо)

Anyone else seeing the new spike trap harming players?

I don't see a question but a statement. What is the question?

SimplePVE shouldn't interfere with being able to loot anything you don't own or is outside your TC range. But you probably have another plugin that interferes.

Greetings,

I have been getting some reports that no one is taking damage. Everything was in working order before the update but now, it would appear that animals are the only thing giving damage. I would say that we run Halloween & Guarded Crates and I went in solo and yea, I took no damage.

Looked at the config and everything was straight that I could see
