**important Urgent Bug Stefan Plz Fix!**
 

ok, since v2.14, we havent been able to jail or ban free accoutns unless we diconnected them and set it offline, it seems now what you have done is made it so everytime a free account connects, they get reset, meaning they cant be jaile,dneither on, or offline. so if a trial account hacks, were basically powerless to do anything. ok, fine we can ban offline still, but say if someone swears a few times, not really a bannable offence, but he cant be jailed so we got no choice!! please fix this its very annoying >.<

Weird, trial accounts aren't supposed to even be able to hack.

A way of managing it though could be ading a server. string (array) which stores a bunch of account names which it should memorize as that they should be jailed on log on. Unfortunately that wouldn't work too well if too many people hack on a trial account.

well, technically its pointless, because they get reset when they log on, but the point is, they can do it, and it lasts as long as they are online :O but its the swearing and other jailing reasons which are mroe of a problem, as most hackers are banned anyway, and that isnt the problem im having :-/

Well, you can't even edit their account, you have to reset them....
And to ban them, you got to ipban them =/

for jailing players
 

put this in a system weapon that is added when a player enters onlinestartlocal.graal or your main starting level:

NPC Code:

---

// Server Side Section of -system

if (actionserverside) {

  if (strequals(#p(0),jailplayer)) {

    with (getplayer(#p(1))) setlevel2 30,30,jail.graal;

  }

}

---

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

for (this.i=0; this.i<=sarraylen(serverr.jailedplayers); this.i++;) {

  if (strequals(#a,#I(serverr.jailedplayers,this.i)) {

   triggeraction 0,0,serverside,-system,jailplayer,#a;

  }

}

---

Then, when you want a player to be jailed,
edit the serverr.jailedplayers string via Server Flags (RC/NC), or use a NPC to do it.

Problem Solved.

All servers are restarted, could you test now (banning trial players when they are online) ?

Re: for jailing players
 

sure problem sovled, unless you dont have npc server num nuts!

yes, banning now works online. what about jailing though? perhaps make it so that it saves a certain flag if the player was in a jail level, and so will not reset if it has that jail flag?

Re: Re: for jailing players
 

You don"t need the NPC Server if you want to jail people at login via the server strings. Every time you want to jail someone, add them to the server string that stores the jailed people. Then just loop through it when someone enters onlinestartlocal.graal, or whatever your start level is, and jail them if they are in the list.

Why loop something when it only needs one event? (playerenters)

That string would get very big, very fast...I'd sooner the editor be seperated from the executable.

Huh? You tokenize the string and loop through it to see if a person's account is in it. This happens when someone enters the level.

if(playerenters && lindexof(#a,server.banned) != -1) message Leik ure banned foo;

I don't see the loop .....

What if the player's account is contained in a person's account that is jailed?

What concerns ME is that script kiddies have no trouble screwing with the Detention strings - do we REALLY want to put banning within their grasp? =_=
