zorlac Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Is it possible to ban a player from a server (not just kick)? If so, how do i do this? Is it a ban on the player name or the IP address? Where is this list held, and can it be undone at a later time? Thanks in advance for the help
Guest Cali Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Trust me...............yes it is possible to ban players, talk to the S77th

Thanks in advance for the help You can probably use your firewall to block by IPaddress ... trouble is if they use DHCP their IP address may change regularly.
355th_Paulie Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 You can probably use your firewall to block by IPaddress ... trouble is if they use DHCP their IP address may change regularly. Try blocking an IP range, say from .100 to .1000 :D
SUBS17 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 You can contact hyperlobby if someone is banned, they might be able to prevent the persons login. What was it that happened? [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

zorlac Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 Work is in progress on this, but as I am away from work (where the server is), I wont be able to get stuff done until next week at the earliest (unless I can convince the wife that this is "essential emergency maintenance for work related equipment"... :) )
Kula66 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 har! I know why your asking...been there yesterday. :D Yesterday Pilotasso, you were shooting down everything in the sky!! Are you getting yourself banned ... to give the rest of us a chance!
Pilotasso Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 ...not on that server for sure. there were heavy lag problems. ;) .
VapoR Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Unfortunately the lag IS an issue. With mission designs like what is on the 504 server there are alot of objects and alot of stuff happening at once. But when it is running smoothly, it's great immersion and tons of fun!! I think the 1.11 patch will help alot for missions of this type, they seem to be putting emphasis into network stability.
GGTharos Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I don't think any amount of 'network stability' coding will save you from overloading the CPU or client's network connections. Design your missions carefully, that's all there is to that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

coldcrew Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 it's not that hard to add the ability to ban users.. if ED bothered to do it. It would probably take less than a day
Hitman IF Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Perhaps ED could manage to add a ping kicker setup through LUA? ---SVBS squad is playing Lock On, ADF/TAW and Typhoon now at www.svbs.co.uk !---
Gazehound Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Perhaps ED could manage to add a ping kicker setup through LUA? There is one (config.lua), but it is generally relaxed to avoid pinging out during loading. VVS504 Red Hammers
