Spray ban plugin for Sourcebans

AeroAcrobat · **Author**

I'm requesting a spray ban plugin with sourcebans (interface) support.

Developers made great plugins that can ban sprays (& additional features) but at this moment there is no spray ban feature that is able to communicate with sourcebans:

I think spray bans with sourcebans support would be a great feature and would make it easier for admins to keep servers clean from unwanted content.
Additionally it would also give the ability to have a nice interface where players and admins can see who has banned spray abilities..

Banning voice/chat ability is already available with sourcebans support and is a really great addition to sourcebans: [ANY] SourceComms (0.9.242 - 01/09/2013)

What do you think ?

There is, just not public, because there is a lot of integration.
I integrated the spray n display plugin into a rewrite of spraytracer and have it use sourcebans natives to ban and report the sprays to sb. Problem is the backend requires platform specific binaries to convert the vtf images, and access to the machine many people don't have.

Perhaps if you left out the webpanel backend, and just banned sprays by hashes, you could do it.. But then you have no record of the sprays, so what do when someone protests? Maybe ftp to your gameserver and check the file? That is not ideal.

I'll look at the way SourceComms integrated with SourceBans... I don't recall seeing any API or anything that would allow for a simple interface with sourcebans... would probably have to create new tables in the sourcebans database and probably a modification/addition of web pages (which I have zero experience with).

SB2 has a (unstable and still being designed) interface for doing plugins like this, SB1 is entirely contained and will need hacking into.

It depends on what you need to do...
If you just want to ban a single offender for one offence, you could use the sb native and ban them for some time period. This is the simplest method at the moment :/

If you want something more elaborate, youll have to add more tables, or some other magicks.

For me the "spray & display" could be optional and not a must have feature but the idea is good to have the spray diplayed.

I really like to manage bans via the web interface because it's easier and faster. No need to load and join a game ...
Also it acts like an archive with an easy to use searchbar. Bans are stored, so you can see how often someone got a warning/ban.

That's what I'm missing in the current spray ban plugins.
