Modify Ownership

Modify Ownership mod builds on top of the Ownership mod, allows owners of buildings add and remove other players as owners after the building is built.

To modify ownerships of a building, press O then right click on it. A window will appear with the list of current owners. If they are currently online (you've met them recently or are in your cache) their name will show up, otherwise their userid is shown. To remove another owner, click on a Del button next to their name/id. You can't remove yourself, unless you are the only owner, in which case the building will become public. To add another owner, select them from dropdown or type (part of) their name into textbox or type their userid into textbox and click appropriate Add button. Case sensitive checkbox affects how name entered into textbox is treated. Enabled Auto filter (via checkbox) causes dropdown to contain only names that match entered name (and disables Autocompletion).

Admins and moderators (as defined by Moderator Commands mod, custom permission modifyowner) can modify owners of all non-public buildings.

Player cache collects all known players (their userids and names; client-side) that are your co-owners, so they are later recognized and can be added as owners even if they are no longer online or in your encounters history list. It is saved in the file save/mod_config_data/moddata_workshop-599501490_playercache (under Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether in Windows by default). If the file has not been created yet (you haven't actually tried to modify any owners), there will be a message in the log: "[ModifyOwnership|PlayerCache] Error loading file {filename} (file not found)". It is harmless, as long as it says "file not found".

Known issues / Notes

You can't modify ownership of Basic / Improved Farm with a crop on it. Wait till it's ready for harvest and harvest it. If two players have the same name, they can't be added by name, only by userid. While building a structure, passing the cursor over the ownership window cancels the build but the tooltip remains - see http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/62038-graphics-placer-tooltip-remains-displayed-after-hud-loses-focus/. Pressing ESC closes the window (same as pressing the Close button); it will not show the usual pause dialog screen. Pressing TAB autocompletes text in the textbox based on the list of people in the dropdown. If the building is destroyed while the window is open, interacting with it will close the window and issue spurious message about it being already closed. Player cache only collects new players, there is currently no automatic removal of players from it. You can clear the entire cache by removing the file or by entering "MOPC:Reset();MOPC:Save()" into the debug console. There is hard coded limit on how many tags an entity can have. Since tags are currently the way owners are detected, it limits the maximum number of owners of a building. If you have other mods that add their own tags to buildings, it will lower the maximum even lower. There is a test that checks the number of tags when trying to add new owner, so adding that new owner won't exhaust usable tags (+there is 5 tags buffer). If other mods add their tags after all owners are added and it exceeds hard limit it could cause network synchonization issues leading to crash. If the Number of owners warning option is set very low (e.g. 1), it could be irritating having to confirm every addition of an owner. Includes a test for string.split function override in an incompatible way by any mod. Doesn't error out, just prints the message.

To do

Fix spurious message noted above - keep an eye on http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/62264-client-crash-crash-after-setting-invalid-entity-to-net-entity/. UI improvements - make window size proportional to screen size - add window border - dropdown visuals
