Cedrin Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I have been having problems with my server crashing becuase my ban string is to long. I have heard that it may be possible to use a separate banning config file. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak_iSuk Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I had the same problems alot. I finally stopped using ADDIP and I just write down the IP, go to a reverse IP lookup and ban the netblock range for the violator. This seems cleaner and prevents the hated DHCP users from jumping right back in. in my server.cfg i have seta g_filterban 1 exec banlist Then in the banlist.cfg I have the g_banips cvar with the IP ranges for all the naughty players. I have noted that if I add an IP and also have his IP range banned then it apparently un-bans the whole block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Another thing that happened to me was that the ban list became too long and the server wouldnt run until I removed some IP's from it. That could explain your crashing problem. A solution would be to carefully look through for any duplicated IP's and save the cfg again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk420 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Unless you use a external banlist file, your limited in game to a 256 byte string for g_banips. FYI Then of course go beyond that and dreaded crash will occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
