Lame Connection Punisher

Description

This plugin improves your server's gameplay experience by automatically rejecting clients with "bad" conections, so that you'll never have to deal with players skipping around the map or being hard to hit anymore.

It can also detect clients running any background applications that may be affecting their connection, such as P2P programs using up too many bandwidth.

How Does It Work

It checks for player's ping fluctuations and packet loss rates, since these seem to be the most trustable factors in determining if there are any issues, in my experience.

What Makes It Different

Other solutions, such as Hing Ping Kickers, usually can't tell apart players with good or bad connections accurately. They may not detect a bad connection if the player's ping is too low, and likewise, they may end up kicking a player who's ping exceeds the limit but has a nice connection nonetheless, thus making you loose potential players.

Installation

• Extract .amxx file to your plugins folder, and add its name to plugins.ini
• Extract .txt file to the "data/lang" folder on your server

CVARS

There are 2 main cvars to control the plugin's behavior (tolerance), though the default values are recommended.

Please note that small ping fluctuations and packet loss occur even on the best connections, so DO NOT set these too low, unless you are on for some nasty results!

• lcp_flux_limit <50> - Ping fluctuation limit (in ms.)
• lcp_loss_limit <5> - Loss limit (% of packets)

Additionally, you can specify whether the plugin should kick or ban these players by changing the following settings.

• lcp_punishment <0/1/2> - 0 = Kick / 1 = Ban by SteamID / 2 = Ban by IP
• lcp_ban_time <5> - Ban time in minutes (use 0 to permanently ban)

Lastly, players with the immunity flags will not be checked at all.

• lcp_immunity <"a"> - Immunity flags

Nice. Testing.
Here's lithuanian translation:

JOIN_MSG = Zaidejai turintys prasta interneto rysi bus baudziami (ping limitas: %d, loss limitas: %d).
MSG_ALL_KICK = %s buvo isspirtas del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_ALL_BAN = %s buvo uzbanintas %d minutems(-iu)(-ei) del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_ALL_PBAN = %s buvo uzbanintas visam laikui del jo prasto interneto rysio.
MSG_TARGET_LOSS = Jusu interneto rysis praranda per daug paketu.
MSG_TARGET_FLUX = Jusu ping'as per daug nestabilus.

Thanks for the translations everyone.

Also, let me know if the default CVAR values are working out alright. I think usual ping fluctuations don't go beyond 50 ms for DSL players, so you could probably lower the flux limit a bit for more accuracy, if you feel like it. So long as the server doesn't get lag spikes, it should be fine.

JOIN_MSG = Spieler mit einer schlechten Verbindung werden gekickt (Pingschwankungs-Limit: %d, Loss-Limit: %d).
MSG_ALL_KICK = %s wurde wegen seiner schlechten Verbindung gekickt.
MSG_ALL_BAN = %s wurde %d Minuten wegen seiner schlechten Verbindung gebannt.
MSG_ALL_PBAN = %s wurde wegen seiner schlechten Verbindung permanent gebannt.
MSG_TARGET_LOSS = Ihre Verbindung verliert zu viele Packete.
MSG_TARGET_FLUX = Ihr Ping schwankt zu stark.

nice idea

[BeasT]

Is it safe to lower the loss value to 5? Because I don't get it higher than 1 with a good connection.
