Here is the reason why this doesn't work,

"Add SQL support
(Sorry, but this might never happen. I do not know SQL scripting, so I would need someone to add it for me.)"

Do not waste you're time trying to get this plugin working, it has been abandoned by it's author

Just use AMXbans.

It already has SQL support, and works completely fine.
I also haven't abandoned it. It works, so it doesn't require updates.

So what you're saying is that after ten years of running. Adminmod, Amxmod and Amxx, I do not know how to install a simple plugin that uses MYsql ?

That's funny, especially when you don't bother to answer anyone's requests for help with connecting to databases, and you have stated that you do not know mysql !!!

I'm not doubting your abilities, but you're doing something wrong if you can't get it working.

I'm sorry that I cannot help every person here, I do other things besides lurk this forum, especially this 1 thread.

About not knowing MySQL, that was about 2 years ago.
Obviously since it has MySQL support, and since I've written MySQL support in other plugins as well, I do know MySQL.

If you knew MYsql, then you should have helped at least a few of the people who have had the same problems as I've had getting it working, but I don't see that you have helped any of them.

This plugin has issues when trying to connect to the sql_host. That is plain to see.


I have done everything in this post and more to get it running. If there is no flaw in you're code or setup instructions, then all of these people would have not had the problems getting it to connect to their databases.

The plugin is at the top of the plugins.ini file

#1: The plugins compile fine locally and are in the plugins.ini

#2: The database is setup on the host and the host username and password are correct.

#3: The host database user has the permissions set correctly.

#4: The sql.cfg file is setup correctly

#5: The game servers IP address is white listed on the SQL host, then what else is there to do.... ?????


This is not rocket science...... :/

It isn't rocket science, but to you it seems that way.

Exolent has a version of the plugin somewhere in the previous pages that was fixed, if I remember correctly. I have Advanced Bans w/MySQL running across all 3 of my CS 1.6 servers and did a little bit of database/backend modification to make it so that I use it as a global ban system here:

http://suxorsgaming.com/banlist.php

Right now I am working on getting Sourcebans to mirror the CS 1.6 bans and vice versa so that all my servers have the same ban lists. MySQL isn't hard at all, but to do some cool stuff with it you need to know how to use it.

I am sorry for others having issues, but roughly 90% of the time it's user error. Check the previous pages in this thread and I can gaurantee there's an updated version of the plugin that fixes the MySQL support because that's what I am using.

Exolent made a good plugin. And I would not use AMX Bans because of how insecure that plugin is, and it seems to be poorly coded to me.

I agree as well, that amxbans is not secure enough to use on a production web site, that is why I do not use it. I just suggested it as a replacement to using this.

I have read at least 30 pages or more of this thread and haven't found a useable SQL version.

I noticed in HLSW, the version for the advanced_bans_sql says,
[1] Advanced Bans 0.8 Exolent advanced_bans_s error

In the first post it says 0.8.1. and I just downloaded that plugin a few hours ago to give it another try.

Coders are great at coding, but when it comes to the little things like installation instructions, they completely IMPLODE.

JK Exolent, you have made some great plugins and I am sure this is one of them, but there is something obviously missing


I think that all versions of a plugin should be right under the original authors version, so people don't have to read an entire thread to find the one that will work for them.

It's further in I think. I know there was a version Exolent developed (not a change in the release or version number though) when people were having problems. I believe it was when MySQL was first introduced.

My version of Advanced Bans works flawlessly right now, and I only got the plugin from this thread so it's in here somewhere.

Edit: I think it's between pages 40 and 65, if my memory serves me right.

I think these are the versions you're referring to.

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...&postcount=764

I compiled them locally, uploaded them, and they are running right off the bat with no errors.

I will do some further testing and post back.
Thanks for that link eruffini. ;)

[edit] this versions is doing the same thing as exolents was doing, After I restart the server, it says it's running and then a few minutes later, I get the error, cannot connect to the database and the plugin is then failing with an error.

I may be posting an update which includes ban date for all bans (and also instructions to update old non-permanent bans with ban dates) some time soon.
