RoninUK Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have a bit a of a strange problem with banning users on my Linux FEAR servers. I've asked around on the VUG forum without much luck, and just wondered if anyone here had experienced similar issues. Basically, I can ban users but the bans aren't being saved into banuserlist.txt, like I would expect - they are just being held in memory. This is a problem when I come to restart the game server. In Windows, it automatically creates that file. I've checked that it's not a hidden file, or saved elsewhere in the FEAR directory structure, and the account I use has full rights to that directory, so I'm a little stumped. We will hopefully have PB support soon, so it's not a major problem but I'd like to get it working in the meantime, if possible. Anyone else seen this or got a fix for it?

RoninUK Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yeah, I have that already, thx. I don't like banning by IP, if I can help it, because it can affect ppl sharing a connection. I'll just wait for PB to arrive. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 lots of usefull stuff here including a how to ban by ip section http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/fea...e_server_en.txt The link no longer works. We just caught a user walking through walls and aiming thought walls right before I got a chance to restart the server (after I put in the pbsv.cfg file). So, no screen shot prove yet. I was just going to do a local ban by IP but he left before I got a chance to get into the server to do a scmd ban. (The server was full...) Any easy way to ban someone by IP?

fozzer Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 a lot of useful info here: http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16140 although hlsw can view fear servers i'm not sure if you can input commands via the console,and fear is as yet not listed in the games supported section ... part of the tutorial deals with IP banning .. hope its of some help to ya :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAEADeAdMaN Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well there is the BanIpList .txt file loacated in the server folders. Do any of you know if you wwould just list your IPs that you want banned like this? xxx.xx.xxx.xx xx.xxx.xx.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would recommend you to use PB and its web interface. Its damn easy to ban users there. Only 3 clicks and everything is done. To enable it open your pbsv.cfg and add there: PB_SV_HttpAddr IP_OF_THE_SERVER PB_SV_HttpPort ANY_FREE_PORT // eg 8001 PB_SV_HttpKey YOUR_SECRET_KEYand restart server Then open http://IP_OF_THE_SERVER:ANY_FREE_PORT Also jPAT and PAT can reload PB after update through this interface.

Guest IcheBAN Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 banning by PB guid is much more effective then an IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 OH! There it is. I see them now. I've already have the jPAT running. Do I still need to copy the MCI data into my pb cfg files into my servers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
