Name Checker 1.5
 

Name Checker 1.5

This plugins checks the players name on connect and on change. It kicks/bans a player, that changes his name too often or does some hacking with his name.

I've copied some ideas and code snippets from Kigen's Anti-Cheat. Thanks to him for that.

This Plugin is tested on DOD:S but should work on all other source games and mods too. Please reply if you could verify this.


Installation

Just compile the source and/or copy the compiled .smx to your sourcemod plugins folder.


Variables

sm_name_checker
Just shows the Name Checker version

sm_name_change_count

sm_name_special_chars

sm_name_multi_byte
How many multi-byte characters (arabian, chinese, ...) are allowed, default: 31

sm_name_change_action
What action is to be done if a player changes his name to often? (deny|kick|ban), default: kick

sm_name_min_size
Minimum required length of a name, default: 1

sm_name_max_size

sm_name_tell_details

Files

configs/badnames.txt
This file may contain a list of bad names or parts (one per line, may contain any character, even multibyte).

This file is created if not found. Default content is unnamed. Comments are NOT allowed and will be seen as names, empty lines will be ignored. Spaces before and after a name will be ignored. The number of entries is not limited - but keep it small :)

Be sure to block the right names! Check is NOT case sensitve and it is searched WITHIN a name. So a bad name like sex would block a name like PlaysExtremelyBad too.

Example:
unnamed
unconnected

cfg/sourcmod/namechecker.cfg
This file will be generated if it does not exist. It contains all configuration options.

Re: Name Checker 1.2
 

What about 'unconnected' players? Can you add a check when players use: setinfo name ""?

Re: Name Checker 1.2
 

Yes I will do this in my next releases. Maybe I add a bad-name-list because the name of the player is "unnamed" when he changes to "". A player with an empty name like " " or " . " or "( . ) ( . )" is already recognized :)

Re: Name Checker 1.2
 

good idea will be useful when people connect with racist name

Re: Name Checker 1.2
 

*** UPDATED ***

I've added in v1.3 some new functions including a simple bad name list. :)

Re: Name Checker 1.3
 

Question: Does it check for the whole name at once, or any part of the name?

say someone joins with the name "Horse Cock Lover" and "cock" is in the bad name list, will it pick it up?

Same goes if it's one long word "HorseCockLover".

Re: Name Checker 1.3
 

Please see the the red notice above: Yes, it checks parts of the name. "Horse Cock Lover" will be kicked. But "Cocktail Lover" too :)

Re: Name Checker 1.3
 

Great, hope this gets approved.

Re: Name Checker 1.3
 

Great Plugin :D

It will be nice to add admin immunity for "badnames.txt" and optinal for the other rules.
That makes it posible to protect a Clan-Tag or a nick from admin.

Greetigs

Re: Name Checker 1.3
 

Like this Plugin too,

but it needs a clan tag check function!
