Over time more and more features of the SourceBans 1.4.11 stopped working correctly. When the STEAMID3 change was made tp TF2, the problems became even more evident.

I've lost track now with all the changes lately, but the last l checked, SB 1.4.11 will no longer run as designed on newer versions of SourceMod forcing people who wanted to use it some of its features to stay with older versions of SourceMod or patch a bunch of stuff. I too was using SB 1.4.11 and was able to get by but decided I'd give the forked version a shot. It fixed some things and worked perfect from the moment I installed it. It also included additional features I really like.

I suppose under certain circumstances 1.4.11 may still work for some people, but it doesn't meet the expectations of many people judging by the all posts I've seen. It is especially problematic for Linux servers from what I've read.

Anyway, I'm just glad someone still cares about it and hope it gets approval again. That's all I'm saying.

Take care

You have to add the RCON password for this server in the 'edit server' page to use this console!

Looks like it's only in my case, well, I'll keep trying to fix it myself.

No one appears to be doing either of those, not sure what you're reading.

No back-compat features have been removed, just fleshed out with more functionality. 1.6, 1.7, and master (1.8) all provide Steam2 IDs and accept them for admin bindings.

TF2 switched to SteamID3 sometime last year. SourceMod 1.6.1 (or was it 1.6.2) and newer had a compatibility hack to make certain parts of SourceMod return SteamID2 (the old format) instead. SourceMod 1.7.0 and newer no longer have that compatibility Edit: Side note, it is possible to get SteamID2 values in newer plugins, but it requires a new method call to do it (GetSteamAuthId)

The above post except by another member and some posted complaints of SourceBans related to this is what led me to believe this. Thanks you confirming this is NOT THE CASE Asherkin. I have edited my post and removed that portion so I others don't get that incorrect info from it. I guess the message others and you are trying to convey is the basic functions of the original SourceBans 1.4 system will still work on all versions of Sourcebans. Is this correct?

Nope, TF2 support is broken, unless you use the fixed admin-flatfile. And there a security issues that are not patched.

If u still wanna use 1.4.11, use the one from their GitHub repo, as it has changes that are not on AM.

Can anyone test out the new plugin from the github repo. Link (U gotta compile them urself.)

I tried fixing stupid errors, I need to know if sm_ban, sm_banip, sm_addadmin, sm_addgroup, and SourceSleuth still work properly.

If they do, we have a stable release on our hands.

Any interest in making this SourceBans dupe simply register bans using the OnBanClient() forward?

Congrats on replying to the post that makes that change.

Whoever had the RCON password issue with the the dev version, it has been fixed.

What?

PHP Code:

public OnConfigsExecuted()
{
    if(DisablePlugin("basebans"))
    {
        // Re-add "Ban player" option to admin menu
        new Handle:hTopMenu;
        if(LibraryExists("adminmenu") && (hTopMenu = GetAdminTopMenu()))
        {
            g_hTopMenu = INVALID_HANDLE;
            OnAdminMenuReady(hTopMenu);
        }
    }
}
