Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

The "ip valid" check uses RegEx so it should work reliably. However, you may need to make sure that you put it in quotes, I can't remember if the default parsing mechanism handles a decimal point as a valid character or a delimiter.

It uses the following pattern:

Code:

\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b

And you can test it on a site like this to see if what you're typing is valid.

If you can't get it to work, please paste exactly what you were typing and put it between [code][/code] tags. If you want to anonymize the IP address, change a couple of the numbers but don't change the number of characters that are in the IP.

Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

Hello. I did a quick search and didnt found what i was looking for.
So, is it possible to update this so i can use letters such "ç ã ê à á" and others?
We use it in Portugal, its weird to write for example "informação" and the console print is "informao" be cause it does not read "ç ã". It is also strange to write "informacao" since this word does not exists. 20% of BP translation of this plugin is wrong.
So, is there a way i can use special letters?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

Hmm,
Seems this doesn't want to connect to the database via the SQL plugin.
Im using the database for admins and for gag system and all is working properly, but the bans plugin doesn't want to connect at all. It must be a plugin issues since the others work
edit: Found through the milions of posts the THREAD_QUERIES version..Seems to work.

Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

I loaded this plugin yesterday and it worked (SORT OF).

amx_banlist would populate in console, but all of the info was blank for the banned users.

Edited the advanced_ban.sma and uncommented the lines according the below, (copied and pasted):

Code:

// CUSTOMIZATION STARTS HERE

// ===============================================





// uncomment the line below if you want this plugin to

// load old bans from the banned.cfg and listip.cfg files

#define KEEP_DEFAULT_BANS





// uncomment the line below if you want the history to be in one file

#define HISTORY_ONE_FILE





// if you must have a maximum amount of bans to be compatible with AMXX versions before 1.8.0

// change this number to your maximum amount

// if you would rather have unlimited (requires AMXX 1.8.0 or higher) then set it to 0

#define MAX_BANS 0





// if you want to use SQL for your server, then uncomment the line below

//#define USING_SQL





// ===============================================

// CUSTOMIZATION ENDS HERE

Re-compiled the SMA, reinstalled the amxx file and server crash.

Rolled back and the server works.

Installed again, and server crashes.

rolled back and it works.

Installed it again, like I did the first time, with no changes to the SMA, and server crashes.

So, once the plugin crashed the server one time, I can no longer attempt to reinstall this plugin in any manner without it crashing.

What could I provide someone to assist me in troubleshooting this?

I doubt this would cause this plug to crash the server, but who knows:

I notice that there are now (2) banned.cfg files in my CZERO folder.

banned.cfg

and banned2.cfg

Both files are identical as far as contents.

I assume that the banned2.cfg was created when I uncommented the line to use one ban file, etc..

*edit* 20220127 1737 hrs EST

I just noticed that when I uncomment the plugin in the plugins.ini file, the plmenu no longer says "bad load".

With the plugin turned off:

Code:

 

Players Menu       1.8.3-dev+  AMXX Dev Team     plmenu.amxx      running

Since this plugin comes with it's own plmenu file that had to be replaced for the plugin to work, how much of a coincidence is this?

Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

First thing is first, you're running an old unstable development version of AMX Mod X. You should update to 1.9.0 at least.

If that doesn't help, disable all non-default plugins and enable this plugin and see if it is somehow conflicting with other plugins.

Also, what shows in the actual server console when it crashes? This usually requires viewing the server console from your GSP's control panel.

P.S. Don't double triple post, put everything in a single post (edit it if needed) unless someone else has replied to you (generally). Also, when posting contents of console and/or short/simple text files, use [code][/code] tags.

If I choose to upgrade the version, 1.8.3-dev-git5134 is the most recent version supported for installation through the supported dashboard.

See screenshot:

If I were to go get a newer version of AMX Mod X, where would I get it from, as far as trusted sources are concerned?

I would agree that it may have been a plugin problem, except it worked just fine until I changed the banlist option in the SMA, recompiled it, and reinstalled it. Nothing else changed with any other plugin.

I don't know what a GSP is, or how to view a control panel of a server that is offline.

Sorry about the multi-post.

The first time I typed "amx_(anything)" was a month ago.
I have played the game for 20 years, but never hosted a server until a month ago.

I appreciate any pointers.

Then maybe you should consider moving to a host that supports up-to-date versions?

Nothing can be more trusted than the official website - https://www.amxmodx.org/downloads-new.php

Thanks for that!

I'll see if NFO supports a new version of AMX Mod X if I obtain it myself.
If not, I'll stay with the version I have.

Since this is the same hosting service on the same version of AMX Mod X as another server running the same plugin, I doubt the version of AMX Mod X has anything to do with it. The other CZ server has been running for 18 years straight with no issues at the same NFO site.

Also, according to that link, anything above 1.8.2 is an unsupported and an "unstable build". The latest stable build page here: http://amxmodx.org/downloads.php only offers 1.8.2. What am I missing regarding that statement from the "mother ship"?

The way that I understand this as it stand is, NFO is already supporting a newer version (1.8.3) than AMXMOD claims to be stable anyway (1.8.2).

Re: Advanced Bans (Real Time) by Exolent

1.9 is currently much more stable than 1.8.2 and offers tons of new features and bugfixes. It's just a matter of time when the devs will find some free time to make it the current official version. You don't need to worry about that statement on the website.

1.8.3 is what is unstable as it's a very early 1.9 build.

Spoke with NFO about this, just a few moments ago, and 1.8.3 was necessary for them due to a compatibility with the HLstatsX sql.

They will upgrade to 1.9 when AMX releases it.

Until then, they don't support versions that AMX, themselves, don't consider stable.

So, back to the coincidence of the advanced bans plugin crashing the server, while also flagging the plmenu.amxx as a "bad load".

?

I'm unfamiliar with this engine, etc., but generally speaking, if the AMXmodX version was the problem, it would have never worked, right?
It's suspicious that it only stopped working and crashed the server after the lines were commented per the install instructions to use the existing bans list.
