Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
A few class C's should work, if that. If you honestly think that it will have a huge effect on your playerbase, you've got some issues. The likelihood of multiple people playing on such a limited IP range is so small, you'd have a better chance of playing the lottery. Plus it only really needs to be in effect for a few hours or days. After they can't get the server to respond, most people stop trying. Oh, and a class B (/16) is only 65,536 IP's. Considering there are 4.2 billion IP's out there (including RFC 1918 addresses), it's a drop in the bucket. Matt Stanton wrote: > Ban a whole class b network block.

Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
Actually, even with bans, we found that we would see the "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" as they must attempt to connect for the bans to process. The plugin that was linked by Jeff S. did the job. Sure, we can't see when ANYONE joins the game, but it stopped the vulgar names from spamming our screens constantly, and that was the goal. Thanks again all.

Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
Why not post this as a suggestion for SourceBans? I don't think it would be too hard for them to be able to suppress connection messages for banned users, considering there is a plugin that already does it. Just use the same method, but only when the user has been blocked.

Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
It's doable. Assuming you mean having a plugin running that would report the IPs, and a bash script or something that would IPTABLES or some other IP block method them out, then that is very doable.

Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
Banning by IP using valve's addip command is sufficient. No packets from added IP addresses are processed so the player won't even get far enough to cause the "joined the game" message. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of msleeper Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:20 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message It's doable.

Sometimes players who are not banned will join once and you will still get 10 messages saying they connected, not quite sure whats that from, probably a connection problem on their side. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] blocking the server's "PLAYERNAME has joined the game" message
Maybe someone could make a plugin that bans users for connecting AND removes the message, I bet they were only trying to farm achievements anyway. No point in letting them spoil the gameplay with a connect message.

[hlds] Unlockables breaking on TF2 server?
Lately I had problems with people not being able to use unlockables on the servers I control. VAC works fine, and TF2 strangely doesn't tell the player about the server not being connected to Steam (like what usually happens during Steam downtimes) in the unlockables screen, so it looks like it's working for players in the loadout screen... until they actually try to switch to their unlockables. There's no "steam ticket" problems which usually otherwise happens when the servers are unable to talk with Steam. Restarting fixes the problem temporarily, but it crops up 12-24 hours later again. Any ideas? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Unlockables breaking on TF2 server?
It was like this for me when the Scout update was released. For the first few days I could only get like one of the three unlocks to actually be in my weapons in one server. Going to a different server seemed to allow for all the other weapons but the one I could use in the previous server. The bug went away about a week after the update and haven't had it happen since.

Trenonian: anyone else crashing? *DEAD* RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE: ya trenian (ADMIN) Drunken F00l: did everyone just crash? Micas-[CE]: awesome Micas-[CE]: yes *CHZ* - JqRaptor: yep JollyJello: yes bRad: ya Happening on arena_ravine as well --- Zed left the game (Zed timed out) jybroer left the game (jybroer timed out) more like SITHDRUMMER left the game (more like SITHDRUMMER timed out) Issei left the game (Issei timed out) John Wilkes Booth left the game (John Wilkes Booth timed out) Hebacheba left the game (Hebacheba timed out) IDTL left the game (IDTL timed out) Idiocracy911 left the game (Idiocracy911 timed out) So there you have it.
