Lame Connection Punisher

Description

This plugin improves your server's gameplay experience by automatically rejecting clients with "bad" conections, so that you'll never have to deal with players skipping around the map or being hard to hit anymore.

It can also detect clients running any background applications that may be affecting their connection, such as P2P programs using up too many bandwidth.

How Does It Work

It checks for player's ping fluctuations and packet loss rates, since these seem to be the most trustable factors in determining if there are any issues, in my experience.

What Makes It Different

Other solutions, such as Hing Ping Kickers, usually can't tell apart players with good or bad connections accurately. They may not detect a bad connection if the player's ping is too low, and likewise, they may end up kicking a player who's ping exceeds the limit but has a nice connection nonetheless, thus making you loose potential players.

Installation

• Extract .amxx file to your plugins folder, and add its name to plugins.ini
• Extract .txt file to the "data/lang" folder on your server

CVARS

There are 2 main cvars to control the plugin's behavior (tolerance), though the default values are recommended.

Please note that small ping fluctuations and packet loss occur even on the best connections, so DO NOT set these too low, unless you are on for some nasty results!

• lcp_flux_limit <50> - Ping fluctuation limit (in ms.)
• lcp_loss_limit <5> - Loss limit (% of packets)

Additionally, you can specify whether the plugin should kick or ban these players by changing the following settings.

• lcp_punishment <0/1/2> - 0 = Kick / 1 = Ban by SteamID / 2 = Ban by IP
• lcp_ban_time <5> - Ban time in minutes (use 0 to permanently ban)

Lastly, players with the immunity flags will not be checked at all.

• lcp_immunity <"a"> - Immunity flags

Plugin sounds nice, Finnish anyway...

What can i say........... You are the man
Nice .Here is a RO translation :-/

[ro]

should go like this:

[ro]
JOIN_MSG = Jucatorii cu o conexiune necorespunzatoare vor primi kick/ban (ping-ul maxim admis: %d, limita admisa de pierderi: %d).
MSG_ALL_KICK = %s a primit kick din cauza conexiunii necorespunzatoare.
MSG_ALL_BAN = %s a fost banat %d minute din cauza conexiunii necorespunzatoare.
MSG_ALL_PBAN = %s a fost banat permanent din cauza conexiunii necorespunzatoare.
MSG_TARGET_LOSS = Conexiunea ta cu server-ul pierde prea multe pachete.
MSG_TARGET_FLUX = Pingul tau variaza peste limitele admise.

Google translate maybe ?

NOTE: DO NOT USE WHAT U SEE BELOW LOL ! (this is Google translate version !)

[ro]
JOIN_MSG = Actori cu lame de conexiuni va fi pedepsit (ping flux limită:% d, pierderea limită:% d).
MSG_ALL_KICK =% sa fost lovit pentru lame de conectare.
MSG_ALL_BAN =% s a fost interzis% d de minute pentru a lame de conectare.
MSG_ALL_PBAN =% s a fost permanent interzis lui lame pentru conexiune.
MSG_TARGET_LOSS = Conexiunea dvs. este de a pierde prea multe pachete.
MSG_TARGET_FLUX = dvs. ping este prea instabil.

O.M.F.G. ! ! ! it's terrible ! ! ! R.O.F.L.

BTW: I think that lcp_immunity <"flag"> - Immunity flags should be more fitted to be defaulted as "b"

bomnacama, don't you think mine is better? I think the word "coneccao" sounds more brazillian rather than portuguese.

[pt]
JOIN_MSG = Jogadores com ma ligacao serao castigados (limite de fluxo de ping: %d, limite de perda: %d).
MSG_ALL_KICK = %s foi expulso por ter uma ma ligacao.

I've posted the translation with [pt] because I've translated AMXX to PT-PT.

Nice. Testing.
Here's lithuanian translation:

JOIN_MSG = Zaidejai turintys prasta interneto rysi bus baudziami (ping limitas: %d, loss limitas: %d).
MSG_ALL_KICK = %s buvo isspirtas del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_ALL_BAN = %s buvo uzbanintas %d minutems(-iu)(-ei) del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_ALL_PBAN = %s buvo uzbanintas visam laikui del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_TARGET_LOSS = Jusu interneto rysis praranda per daug paketu.
MSG_TARGET_FLUX = Jusu ping'as per daug nestabilus.
