add hud-warning if protection_bypass is enabled

[BuckarooBanzay]

only for non-admins (players without "privs" priv)

Good idea 👍 (text is slightly too far to the right though)

Seems somewhat good direct action to workaround existing problem but also something that should not be needed in first place.
Makes me wonder if there's some problem with said privilege use?

Good idea +1 (text is slightly too far to the right though)

Uh, you're right, but it should be perfectly centered with { x=0.5, y=0.5 } 😕

The rationale is: protection_bypass can be granted for a limited time to trusted users (maybe with a proper "privilege elevation" command in lua-code instead of command blocks, just an idea)
To ensure that the priv gets revoked as soon as possible a "nagging" text should inform the player about the special condition.

Do you have an alternative suggestion for cleanups that require higher privileges?

Not for actual privileges / ways to carry out required actions but I think it would be good to have alternative way to drop privileges.

I mean this but not for gaining privileges, just for dropping privileges.
Command block is good as it requires player to actually move to control room to gain extra privileges but I think it would be a lot better to allow dropping privileges instantly without going to some specific location.
(having teleport ability or /control command does not really affect this, it is good to require extra "thing" as that makes people think twice if high privileges are really needed)

Chat command to drop privileges but not to gain privileges?
And also add that chat command to hud message.

Yeah, I think it is needed here... It probably is just that I do myself strongly believe in proper training / sharing knowledge so that people who have access to stuff requiring high privileges also completely understand why they have access, how to use privileges, how to not use privileges and why it is important to drop privileges as soon as possible.
While I would like that option very much I guess training like that is not really possible here...

Maybe this value needs changing?

offset = {x=20, y=0},

I like this because a player might log off before going to /control to revoke his override priv and would instantly be aware that he still has it when he logs back on.

how about an "expiration" timer for the priv plus chat-commands:
you can grant it to yourself with /protection_bypass_sudo and revoke it either with protection_bypass_drop or it will automatically be revoked on logout/after 10 minutes

👍 Could probably use a single command to toggle it though (/protection_bypass)

LGTM as in: I don't mind details like being centered etc. as long as there is something for now. It might take another two years before somebody implements the ideas in this thread.

Have opened #85 so we don't forget.

well then, i think i'm pushing the button on this one...
