Hi all, this morning I have got a problem with b3. I mean, I have to ban a bad player, but b3 can't ban him neither with nickname, neither with client number. You can see the screenshot below.

 

 

Any hints about? Because I don't like to have players that can't be banned, thanks.

Use cod rcon tool unfortunately people can change their guids until NTA comes up with a new guid system (LIKE TG) we will have to put up with people coming back to the servers.

Check your B3 log. Chances are it's having an issue connecting to your database.

Which one I could use? I don't know about rcoon tool available for 4D1. Any hints?

I don't want to do necroposting, but I found another "invisible" player for b3:

 

 

I can't ban him, could someone try to understand what is the problem and maybe how to solve it?

I'm working on a b3 plugin to add real server commands to b3 rcon.

Maybe I should include the server's kick and ban commands...

Suggest me the commands that I should add, and I'll try to get the plugin ready for release as soon as possible.

So you are going to develop the admin plugin? I think that in some cases, B3 can't list a player for an unknown reason... This is the point

These are the commands that I included so far:

But I think there's not enough useful stuff implemented to release it already.

Suggest me some commands to add.

Pretty simple, you are issuing the wrong command. If you want to ban him for good, then do a perm ban like

 

!pb payername

 

My B3 has no problems banning from any of my servers. Great tool. :geek:

 

As for the original problem, looks like an issue with B3. A re-start of B3 should clear it up.

I've been testing the command.

Seems that error happens when you type a non-existant player ID. Do !list again to check the player ID

After the ban is issued, an entry is created on the database, and flushed to the server itself. So, the client actually gets a two level ban. First the server itself will deny the client from joining, and if you delete the ban on the server, b3 will kick the player once it joins the server.

Apart from the fact that TG IDs are ridiculously easy to change, remember aIW m1? There was a hardware-based XUID system. Obviously NTA chose not to use it for some reason, and that's his choice.

Also, a rcon tool will only add the guid to the server's banlist, wich is one of the things that !pb command does.

Funny thing.. teknogods steamid base on windows account name instead of hardware.

 

I had 3 windows pcs with the same windows account name (Larry) and all 3 of them generated the same ID

I have already tried that commands, and any other command: !k, !w ecc... I can't see him in !list. I hope that a re-start of b3, could help, next time I'll try, thank you!

Well guys I can inform you that a b3 restart from tc admin solves the problem. The player unlistable, becomes listable and so bannable.

 

Are you able to create a b3 plugin to change the server's name? I mean, when it changes gametype, it would be pretty to change the name of the server, is this possible?

Just set the sv_hostname Dvar. You could probably make the plugin yourself if you're so inclined.

Thank you for the answer, but the problem is that I have already tried to do that this way:

 

self.console.write('sv_hostname "name"')

 

But it seems to crash b3 when start with that code line, so I try to ask someone that is more skilled than me on writing this kind of code

Ok, I'll add sv_hostname and will PM you a link to the files as they are now.

 

Edit: done. Check your PMs
