AMX_BAN replacement. for temp ban only

Code:

/*

*

*  AMXX BAN Replacement v 1.0

*

*  The ban code itself was created by the AMXX Dev Team. This is just used as a replacement

*  for the normal ban, so an admin can impose a limit on bans from certain users.

*  I made the modification at the request of an admin friend who's server admins

*  tend to make bans permanent without thinking about it first. This will prevent that from

*  happening, by restricting the max length to whatever the admin sets amx_ban_temp cvar to.         

*

*  This should be placed above your admincmd.amxx in your plugins.ini file.

*  You can change the access level for the temp ban, by modifying the define low_ban line.

*  It's currently set to ADMIN_LEVEL_E

*

*  A user who has both NORMAL_BAN and LOW_BAN will have it default to NORMAL_BAN which means they

*  can ban a user to any amount of time. A user with access only to LOW_BAN cannot.

*

*

*  The amx_ban_temp cvar is set to 1440 or 24 hours by default.

*

*/

Again there are two defined here:

#define NORMAL_BAN ADMIN_BAN
#define LOW_BAN ADMIN_LEVEL_E

So modify the LOW_BAN level to whatever admin level you like.

I'm downloaded and installed the plugin but can't get it associate with the letter 'e' in the user.ini. I put it before the admincmd.amxx in the plugin.ini as well. And I know the plugin is running.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

#define ADMIN_ADMIN                (1<<24)        /* flag "y" */

#define ADMIN_USER                (1<<25)        /* flag "z" */

I've given these abilities in admin "cefgijmnopqrstu"

but they don't have any of the temp bans in amx_help or the adminmodmenu.

Any more thoughts? I know the plugin is running but they don't have that ability.

This will only work with the console it wont work with menu or however you are trying to do it. And I don't understand what you mean "they don't have any of the temp bans in the amx_help" I don't understand that. Explain further, I have tested this plugin thoroughly and its currently running on my server and the person's I wrote it for. I know that its working exactly as it was designed. Also if its not working make sure its above the admincmd.amxx line in your plugins.ini or it will do absolutely nothing.

Okay, what I meant by temp bans in the amx_help. When looking for the command in the amx_help in console, nothing is there.

I have it above the admincmd.amxx line.

I have the admin command "d" and can ban but the people who only have "q" can not.

And I didn't follow a thing about the 1440 and such.

I've never fully understood this program or how to make it run exactly the way I wanted/need it to.

I really appreciate your help.

If a person with the flag q but not d attempts the command amx_ban whoever 99999 what happens? At the very least the user should receive a message saying, "You have insufficient access to use this command." in the console. If you're not even getting that then there is something wrong. If that's the case try changing the line:

register_concmd("amx_ban","cmdBan",ADMIN_ADMI N,"<name or #userid> <minutes> [reason]")

to

register_concmd("amx_ban","cmdBan",ADMIN_ALL, "<name or #userid> <minutes> [reason]")

Which will let everyone have access to it but because I have it checking flag by flag, if the user doesn't have either d or q then you will get that message.

Thank you. Apparently, they did have the command but it doesn't show up in the list of amx commands when doing amx_help. They can temp ban now.

Will those admins be able to do amx_ban 0 for a perma ban? And how long is amx_ban 1440?

Those are just secondary questions. Thank you for your help!

If an admin with that level attempts to set a ban for 0 or more than 1440 the plugin intercepts that and replaces it with 1440 minutes. 1440 minutes is 24 hours. So the admin could set a max of 24 hours ban, however they can set any normal ban lower than that. So what I mean is they can set a ban from 1-1440 minutes.
