Sorry for quoting myself, but I really need to get this sorted out. I want to allow admins to edit their own bans, so they can add a demo. When I give them the "Edit own bans" permission, it doesn't do anything. When I add the "Ban list" permission, they can edit all bans. Which permissions do I have to give to get the effect I'm aiming for?

the command sm_rehash is invalid for me for some reason, thus, not allowing me to refresh the admins immediately. I have to restart the map in order to reload all the info from the database.

Also, I'm still getting the "Error Connecting" on my dashboard, despite that everything else works.

also in my sourcemod logs, it still says a couple steamIDs are not banned...and my banned_user.cfg is empty. I'm not if it's because some of the bans were not permanent..

EDIT:Here is a sample of the logs

L 07/08/2008 - 02:26:47: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:1:5240963 is NOT banned. L 07/08/2008 - 02:28:18: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:1:16488576 is NOT banned. L 07/08/2008 - 020:17: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:1:16488859 is NOT banned. L 07/08/2008 - 020:59: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:1:18786726 is NOT banned. L 07/08/2008 - 021:05: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:1:1805269 is NOT banned. L 07/08/2008 - 021:46: [sourcebans.smx] [SourceBans] STEAM_0:0:5355337 is NOT banned.

I'm starting to think that sourcebans checks every single client that connects to see if they are banned, and it writes to the logs? Is this necessary since it is recorded in the game logs?

Make sure port 27015 (or whatever the port your server is running on) is allowed outbound by your webserver.


Also, how do you disable "noisy" logging mode?

Hi,

Just wanted to verify who I need to call to ask. Here is my current config.


1stWeb server (hosting SB) ----- 2nd Web server (hosting SB db) ---- Game server (port:27025)

any changes from web admin, writes to the db properly (confirming connection between 1st and 2nd webserver)

admins/groups/bans are loaded properly to the game server; I can execute rcon commands from sb to the game server (confirming connection between gameserver and 2nd web server)

thx

Should be the webhost hosting DB itself.

i have finally figured this thing out.. but there is something tugging at my sleeve about it cause i know it can't be right..

"driver_default" "mysql"

"sourcebans"
{
"driver" "default"
"host" "localhost"
"database" "******"
"user" "******"
"pass" "*******"
//"timeout" "0"
"port" "3306"
}

why would it be local host when the database is on my webhost and the game server isn't? that needs to be edited to reflect the correct IP address right?

why am i asking that.. has to be..

[GriMz]

ok, i got it all done, and done right, and the latency shot up on all my servers by at least 30, well, for those that would boot after anyways.. 1 windows box rebooted after installation, 1 linux box also did, then 2 more linux boxes refused to start with the plug in loaded, after deleting the smx files, rebooted again just fine..

removed from all servers.

too much lag, and if it didnt lag, it wouldnt start again.

i think i was right with last assumption.

no one really wants to play on a really laggy server, dont understand why it does that like that, but it did. just goes to show you, the old ways are the right ways.

Are you sure you have enough bandwidth and everything? I haven't noticed any of that.

well, the 2 that did start after installation, seemed a little laggier, but 2 wouldnt start as well. shouldnt have bandwidth problems, everything other than the gae itself is streamed from our homepage (high speed downloads and all). i dont get why it did it either, but it honestly seemed to.

im outside fo atlanta, my servers are in taxas, usually a 60 ping for me, they were anywhere from 96 - 110.

once it was removed, back to 60 ping.

[sourcebans.smx] Database failure: [2003]: Can't connect to MySQL server...

I keep getting the above error in my logs above. I put the right port and the right ip for my webserver mysql database and I also added my gameserver ip to allowed remote mysql access. I made sure to remove localhost and put in my mysql server ip
