A fix for the wall griefing.

[Jfloyd]

Here's my proposed idea:
Every gate should link the two corner posts together, and who ever has the key, can right click either post A, or post B, and turn off building.

Alternatively, the person who placed a wall segment can always turn building on and off for that segment. That way you can easily stop building a wall whenever you log off, or let someone else continue it. Alternatively, kin members are the only ones who can work on a wall you've placed.

alternatively loftar should just fix posts even allow to expand over the tiles.

Of course, the gate issue should simply be fixed. Fixing it would involve making it possible to having bounding boxes of various types, such that the gates' bboxes, when open, would block construction but not walking. Such a change would be quite useful with e.g. crops as well.

As for making it impossible to continue building from cornerposts, I very much dislike the idea of linking actual characters to objects in various ways -- that's just an ugly hack and very unrealistic. One solution I've been considering is that cornerposts could be extendable with not only wall segments, but with "stop pieces", which act like wall segments but aren't extensible any further. Anyone wanting to continue from a cornerpost with such a stop piece would simply have to destroy the stop piece first.

perhaps there could be a "gate post" that is not extendable.

This sounds good. That, or make an actual gate that is 4 wide.
