09:17 * mtvisitor will review some test case(s) in the future release of minetest engine and some mods if possible.

14:07 kyle56      i think i am out of the loop so i hope someone can give me context. is there like a cheat mod or something that lets you quickly place down the mese blocks and the lightstone blocks in layers? i ask because i have seen that twice on my creative server. and also for some reason they didnt get placed on my air-like node that acts just like air but is not "air" so i would assume there is an "if node.name == air"
14:07 kyle56      type logic going on.
16:57 Warr1024    Cheat clients are a thing.  There's no way to prevent cheats as long as the cheater is subtle enough about it that they don't leave any heuristic you can use to detect them (and you're not willing to make the game impossible for legit players)
17:16 MTDiscord   <mistere_123> Well, for limited applications its possible to design games in ways that make cheating a headache. In blockbomber, for example, you die if the node under you is not a floor group node, so if you fly you are likely to die, and that leaves you vulnerable to explosions if you don't leave the floor area.

17:18 kyle56      Warr1024: i know they exist. even played with one myself. just wondering if anyone here knows if that oddly specific cheat is part of a client mod for a cheat client or something. like my theory is that its an attempt at making a lag machine or something but i never noticed it actually lagging my server. seems the solution might be to kick players that are placing blocks abnormally fast
17:21 Warr1024    I've triedn't any cheat clients myself, but I've heard that auto-building is supposed to be one of the features they add (and it interestingly enough has accessibility applications beyond actually cheating).  You can probably enforce a rate limit, though you'll need some burst tolerance because network packets can get queued up.
17:22 kyle56      thats a good point. i actually did make a simple rate limiting mod but its a bit too sensitive at the moment and i have not gotten around to fixing it. tho speaking of auto build mods, i did make one one time that lets me auto build a tower as i fly up into the sky. doesnt stop until i turn it off or hit something. that was fun
