Banning in multiplayer?

[MackTheKnight]

Hi Gang,

 

Just curious is it possible in BS for someone to be banned from a server for using an invalid load-out?

 

Wondering, as I was in a blue vs red server tonight and the guy getting all the kills was doing so with R77's, which in the real world and in vanilla/unhacked DCS: BlackShark, can't be done.

 

Regards,

Mack

If you or anyone else knows how he managed to get working A2A missiles it would be nice if you could send me an explanation via PM. Maybe there is something I can do for the next ServMan version.

 

What can be done via scripts is to ban somebody as soon as he killed a player with a non-standard weapon.

This would be great addition to Servman. It's only a matter of time, especially now that blackshark is retail, before we start seeing people with 30 vikhars, aim 9s, and all that crazy stuff. It happened in lockon, it'll happen in BS.

 

I haven't see it yet on my server, but I'll try to watch when I can and report anything I can to you to help make a new servman to fix the issue.

With AIM-9? With R-77? WTF Interesting question how did they force to fire and use it?

please make it so "unknown" players get booted and must re-enter with a proper handle :)

It was indeed one of those "unknown" players lurking on the server. No idea how he managed to arm and fire R77's but he did.... managed at least 6 kills that way (Most of them, me) before I got frustrated and bailed the server.

 

I kept thinking to myself "where the heck is this guy" before I realized he was using long-range R77's. Before I could even get in range I was a fireball.

 

So that being said - some sort of feature where a person could be auto-banned when killing someone with out of spec ordinance, would be a great asset to the multiplayer engine. Add it to the wish-list I suppose. :)

 

Thanks all,

Mack

We had one of these Unknown guys last night in a server with us and he had some sort of missile no one had seen before and was launching 6-8 at a time it seemed. I think someone got some video or screenshots of it.

Unknown's get kicked - (immediately after request to rectify the error of their ways in failing to login with an adequate callsign) - as a matter of Principal from the 159th!

Feature request:

Autokick and autoban feature for:

* Nicknames [containing|NOT containing] the characters <nnn>

* Nicknames with length [greater|less] <n>

* IP containing|equals|on network+mask

 

Mute/gag

Same as above.

 

Pretty please? :)

1) patch will check integrity of the vital database files (the list of files/dirs to check is set in server-side config) - i.e. client should have the same set of files as the server. It will (should:)) solve nonstandard weapons problem.

 

2) It is possible to autokick/autoban players via server-side scripts. Server owner can set any rules there.

Thank you, wasnt aware of the advanced script possibilities :)
