Cannot ban, only voteban
 
Our servers are using AMXX 1.8.0. Ever since the Steam update we havent been able to use amx_ban or amx_addban with any success. It says they are banned, it kicks them from the server but they are able to rejoin immediately.

This is the case for banning for a certain time period and permbans. The permbans arent being written to the banned.cfg as well.

Oddly though, amx_voteban does work but that isnt very practical to use because of the short ban length.

Maybe the fact that voteban works and ban doesnt might give someone a clue as to where its failing.

Any ideas?

There is a new cvar that allows you to define the location of the ban file. Search the forums or Google for this cvar name as I do not know it off hand

Its suppost to be 'bannedcfg' (Ex: bannedcfg banned.cfg). But I don't see where it has any affect.

I have seen mention that the CVAR is called bannedcfgfile. And when I call that cvar in console it comes back as bannedcfgfile banned.cfg, so its pointing to the correct file.

Besides, banned.cfg is used to store IDs for permbans. We cant even do a 60 min ban.

You are correct, its CVar is bannedcfgfile. I noticed that the default value is banned.cfg. So I suppose if you don't do anything, it will still point to the old file.

It is not an AMXx issue. AMXx ban/kick method is just a wrapper for the Steam kick/ban methods. If you are having an issue, go bug Valve about it

Reguardless of whos 'fault' it is, the fact remains that there's an incompatibility issue between Valve/Steam and Amxmodx where banning is concerned. So I would think that keeping an open dialog and awareness about the problem is certainly more helpful than a "go bug Valve about it".

I always thought it was "exec banned.cfg"
