banning/client info- HELP

[KaxyotiK]

how do you ban someone on a dedicated server

i know how to kick, i have the ip //Enable IP banning

set g_filterban 1

seta g_banIPs ""

banning enabled

 

i know about the addip and removeip commands

 

but how do yo ufind out the ip of the person you want to ban

 

and how can you make the ip ban list dynamic?

[MatrixCPA]

To find out someone's ip address just type status into the server console. You can also type /rcon status in the game console if you have /set rconpassword yourpass previously. However, there's a known problem with /rcon status--it only displays a certain number of characters and thus you generally don't get a complete list.

 

When you say you want the ban list to be dynamic. Do you mean you want to have temporary bans that are automatically removed after a certain period of time?

This is slightly off topic, but you reminded me of it when you mentioned using RCON to check status..

 

I tried using RCON a few days ago to check the status of my server, and it spammed back the same line a couple of dozen times (NET_SendPacket: WSAEINTR) and then crashes the executable on my server. The same happened when I tried to do a cmdlist via serverwatch. It seems to be related to large amounts of data being returned from the server, because status with only one or two people in the server works for the most part. It only crashes hard when there are more people in it.

 

It could be limited to the win32 exe (I really need to get linux setup ).

 

Sorry for hijacking the thread Kaxyotik

 

Matrix, any eta on the adminbot conversion? I'm dieing to get that up and running!

I haven't done much with the winblows ded server except experiment a bit. I have little interest in running any kind of dedicated game server on a win box. Regarding the SendPacket errors, I see them crop up mostly because of packet loss. If you only have the problem with /rcon status and cmdlist, then I'd suspect something else. I just avoid /rcon status and use the server console (via ssh).

 

As far as the bot goes, I'm hoping to have a beta out late next week. This is the last week of tax season and that means zero free time. However, next week is wide open.
