Ease of use
Because I don't want all the other stuff that comes with sourcebans, I found the interface poor and somewhat frustrating compared to HSFighters Sourcemod webadmin, which is clean and does the job perfectly for us with over 300 people in the db and +180 clan members on mulitple servers.
Although I most credit you with excellent compatibilty with Firefox. And BTW when are u updating SB's detox???
Also in the soucrebans thread you posted that it doesn't deal with the mysql bans at that time properly. The other plugin that was posted that did this was utter tosh and didn't work (even with a heavily experinced c++ coder and a DBA looking at it, infact the DBA pissed his pants[in laughter] at the queires in that plugin), I gave up with it in the end.
I needed something that works and works now, I have too many servers and too many n00bs to look after, this plugin works exactly for our needs.

I am a coding n00b, I understand what (and why) you are refering to, however what function() are you refering to? As we use the threaded sql plugin.

I just wanted a plugin that bans people to a mysql database, not that is included with a fancy web page. Basically, I don't want my Server 2003 machine to be hosting websites.
Also MoggieX, I did what you said and banned myself. This is what the server console put off when I did it.
Code:
L 02/08/2008 - 14:46:13: [mysql_bans.smx] [MySQL Bans] Player was admin checked
♦[MySQL Bans]♥ Player was admin checked

Writing cfg/banned_user.cfg.
This writes my steamid to the banned_user.cfg, but it doesnt ban me from any of the other servers running the plugin so I can only guess this isn't what its suppose to do when someone is banned. |
That is exactly where we are coming from, I have a a dedi server dedicated to supporting the other servers. Thats the level where we are at and we're we're going. Hence we use SM, its *** brill, as we get complete control and mani admin plugin is *** laggy as hell compared to to SM.
IMO a game server should be as slick as possible, thus removing any other crap that might interfere with its core purpose, 'gaming'.
As for that bug[ or feature ;)], yes I know exactly what it is, some muppet named the the 'Ban added' replycommand() as 'Ban Added ', thus is craps itself.
Its still works OK though!
Just became a dad last weekend, so my attention is else where atm, although I will come back and update the plugin with a few neat extras such as timed bans as soon as I can. Apologies for any spelling mjistakes, just got in from a night out 'wetting the babies head' and are a a little worse for wear!
HSFighter was/is on for adding a web GUI for this plugin too, with a little work I can accomodate this as well. I'd really like that so we have our stuff for the our core admins in a single place.
