[Caught off Guard]

hi,

id like something which looks for names when a player connects. This function is already available in http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=29771]MoggieX VBAC but id something slightly different as ive found my server becomes a little unstable with VBAC running.

Beetlesmod does the following things and it would be great if someone could make a plugin that replicate these.

// (Values: 0,number) Set it to the minimum length name a name can be
NameMinimumLength 2

// (Values: 0,1) "1" - will automatically permanantly ban ip and id of anyone comming into server with 'Myg0t' name 
//or with any name listed in bannednames.txt file
BanMyg0t 1

// (Values: 0,1) "0" - not allow unicode char names with more than 2 unicode characters in it.
// This makes it much easier to kick/ban players when needed via typing there name instead of having to use menus
AllowUniNames 0

// (Values: 0,1) Change Unicode Names
// "0" - kick players if AllowUniNames
// "1" - change there name to UniNamer
ChangeNames 1

// (Values: 0,1) Punish people who change names as same as others with an invisible space punishment
// "0" - disable
// "1" - kick
// "2" - autoban
// "3" - permaban
NamesWithUniSpacePunish 1

// (Values: number) "7" (for example) - the number of times a player changes name to suffer name change punishment.
// Theres a hack that constantly changes a players name to make it difficult to kick/ban
// That hack is still out there and still works. Even after valve made changes to prevent it.
NameChangesToKick 7

obviously the original code is beetlesmod and credits go to him but it would be great if someone could write a plugin with the above functionality.

thanks

Im searching/waiting for such a plugin since ever.

[Lebson506th]

BadNameBanning will kick/ban people who have names on a blacklist.

[bolinux]

This plugin is unapproved:

Reason for Unapproving:
Reported to not be working.


and it cant handle the nonick exploit...

[Lebson506th]

It does work.

I've made my case multiple times in that thread, yet it won't be re-approved for whatever reason.

The only thing that doesn't work is the logging sometimes.



Also, it can be easily modified to handle the no-nick exploit.

Okay tell me when its done.

[Lebson506th]

If i knew how to do that exploit, i could check against it.

This code checks to see if the player's name is blank, but i'm not sure this will do it:


P.S. I'm not sure if this works for in-game name changes, but it blocks on connect at least.

Same here, the only thing I know is, some retard is connecting with no-nick and is shown as "unconnected" in the scoreboard and starts TK´ing and such annoying stuff. If you type status in the console his nick is not shown and you cant kick / ban him with sourcemod, but kick / ban with ID still works with rcon.

Nice will try the plugin later, tanks in advanced.

KAC and VBAC both have things that deal with the "unconnected" issue.

Hi Lebson,

both the above plugins have together and separately been used on my server, except the server becomes more unstable with them on, hence im looking for a simple plugin that would stop this "unconnected" thing from occuring without the additional stuff

thanks
