Bad name banning
This is a pretty simple plugin to ban anybody who joins with or changes their name to something that contains a bad phrase in the bad_names.ini. I created this to ban people with myg0t/mygot in their name, but it has been modified for any name. For those of you who don't know, myg0t is a group/clan of people who blatantly hack and ruin other people's fun, and then gloat about it to their friends. I got a bit tired of people doing so, so I did something about it
At the request of ferret, I made this configurable to read any bad phrases from a config file. Thanks for all the help from the guys on IRC (Namely ferret
)
I have also added functionality of a whitelist: any steamID's that exist in it will not be banned no matter what the name is (as long as sm_bnb_allowimmun is 1). If sm_bnb_allowimmun is 0, you will be kicked/banned no matter what if you have a bad name.
I also added a version that has Admin 'b' flag immunity. I'm retaining the old version in case there are some people who would prefer not to give admin privs out.
Instructions
WHITELIST VERSION
Place BadNameBan.smx in plugins.
Place bnb_whitelist.ini and bad_names.ini in configs. Edit them to your liking (which names should be banned or kicked/which steamID's will not be banned).
Place the below cvars into your server.cfg (or any config that gets executed) and change them to what you would like.
ADMIN VERSION
Place BadNameBanAdmin.smx in plugins.
Place bad_names.ini in configs, and edit it to your liking (which names should be banned or kicked).
Place the below cvars into any config that gets executed and change them to your liking (with the exception of sm_bnb_allowimmun; it does nothing in this release).
Any admins with 'b' flag will not be kicked by this version.
Done!
