[ANY] City Bans

v1.1.0

Description:
Allows admins to ban users by their city.

Commands:

• sm_bancity <target> - bans a client by their city (default flag ban)
• sm_listbannedcities - prints a list of banned cities (default flag unban)
• sm_unbancity <id> - unbans a city (use sm_listbannedcities to get the ID) (default flag unban)

Cvars:

• city_bans_version - plugin version
• city_bans_f2p - only block Free2Play players in banned cities from connecting (only works in TF2, requires SteamTools), defaults to 1
• city_bans_message - message to display to banned players, defaults to "You have been banned"

Overrides:
Admins with access to the "BypassCityBan" override (defaults to root) won't be blocked when they join from banned cities.

Database:
City Bans requires a database to store bans in. It will first look for a "citybans" configuration in databases.cfg, then for a "default" configuration. Here's a citybans configuration that uses a local SQLite database (no database server required):

    "citybans"
    {
        "driver"            "sqlite"
        "database"            "citybans"
    }

You can also configure it to use a MySQL database to sync bans across servers.

Requirements:
Requires the GeoIPCity extension, and optionally SteamTools for TF2 F2P blocking.

Installation:
Install GeoIPCity if you don't have it already (and optionally SteamTools), put citybans.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins, and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load citybans" into your console or rcon.

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be auto-updated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Changelog:

• v1.1.0 (7/16/13)
  • Removed quotes requirement in sm_bancity
  • Fixed a couple of issues
• v1.0.0 (6/11/13)
  • Initial release

Eh, it'll still get the job done.

Any way to add a feature to ban the city without a client present. ...

Although not sure where they get the city ids from

Strange... SteamTools should be marked as optional, but I guess asherkin's inc file isn't properly set up.

I've committed v1.0.1, which should fix this.

Thank you Dr. McKay .
I will test when I return home from work...

Update:
Running fine now.

Wow this is perfect. Thank you.

argc should be < 1 instead of != 1 as people tend to use spaces with targets. You store and set the CmdReplySource, but you never set the value back to what it was after you print your message. You should consider using GetClientSerial instead of GetClientUserID to prevent potential duplicate checks on the same client. You should also consider checking the returns from a few GetClient* Functions (GetClientIP).

None of this seems lethal, though.
