Ook: It's a known error with HLSW that it has the potential to erase your ban lists. Thus, on our servers, we never, ever, use the Ban List tab, but ALWAYS enter bans in console, in the same way that you would in-game. "banid N STEAM_0:1:234567 kick; writeid" "addip N 123.4.56.789; writeip". In addition, we keep our banlists backed up and exec them at the start of each map.
I may be wrong here, but I believe that if you find that you've accidentally wiped your lists with HLSW, you can restore your ban lists by doing the following: goto the console and type "exec banned_user; exec banned_ip" in console, and it will execute both your banned_user.cfg and your banned_ip.cfg. -Grant Suck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 1:26 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Server hack? wipe banned.cfg? I had exec banned.cfg, but not writeid. I am indeed using HLSW, and may have pressed the reload button (more then once), I'll keep an eye on this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mikee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 8:00 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] Server hack? wipe banned.cfg?
