Perms renovation

[ELPatitoLoco]

So this is basically a suggestion to remove entirely admins perms to dupe or copy your props or acces your e2 withour permission, I know admins are trusted people but this problem has happend in the past and its really not cool to get your e2 used by someone without permission.

Admins can't dupe or copy your props so I think you might be a bit confused there.

It also notifies you in chat if someone opens your E2 and there is no way for an admin to suppress this.

You said this has happened in the past, who was doing this in the past?

[ELPatitoLoco]

Admins can in fact copy or dupe because the other day a admin that I'm not gonna mention just duped the shit out of my e2 dupe (I have a couple props and a e2 saved in a dupe)and placed it, and I think you can change the perms for e2 acces if not maybe I could just fork it myself but maybe to much of a mess.

[Kilometres]

Copying E2s with AdvDupe2 is because admins have prop protection perms (which are needed to prevent crasher/laggers) so unfortunately I don't think there will be a solution to that. And if you can't stop it you may as well keep accessing it with toolgun (with notification) as it makes it a lot easier when helping people with e2.

The unfortunate truth is whenever playing on a server, your e2s are not safe, A server has full perms to steal your e2s then wipe ur data folder clean. If this is a large concern for you, play on trusted servers, backup your e2s, and attempt to obfuscate.

As Kilo said, this is based on prop protection, and admins currently need prop protection perms to mitigate lag and crashes

However, if we removed these permissions (which would require forking nadmod to remove isadmin checks most likely) we could instead provide a suite of ulx commands as we already do

Alternatively we could still fork nadmod, but limit admin bypass to only removing props

[Kilometres]

Maybe this could be kept in mind for playerbase.

Not sure patito wants to wait until 2040

In all seriousness though, should be an easy change to do it in nadmod for now. I’ll add it to the possible contributions list
