Nick Registration on servers

[Gen]

I want to know If exist some way for allow the acces to the server only for registrated names, and how I can do that using q2admin.

Cya

[BeAViS]

yes, it exists.
but dont know how to do. i think pain or da^juan could know how.
haue will surely know (he's jesus, so he knows everything).
lets wait for their reply

[L0ki]

There is, like Mario said. I know that Pain and Haui had/have it on their servers. If you are on IRC: #action.dac for Pain (hardly available) or #quadaver for Haui (often available). You might as well try #aq2admins and find a lot of aq2-admins there (uhuuu).

Good luck. :->

With q2admin, have a textfile called q2adminban.txt.

default content of it is:

Code: Select all

;
; The ban file list for the q2admin dll.
;
;
; Banning can be enabled and disabled by the 'nickbanning_enable',
; 'ipbanning_enable' and 'chatbanning_enable' commands.
;
; They can be enabled/disabled in the q2admin.txt by changing the
; there values to "Yes" or "No".
;
; e.g. in the q2admin.log file:
; nickbanning_enable "Yes"
; ipbanning_enable "Yes"
; chatbanning_enable "Yes"
;
; They can also be enabled/disabled from the server console / client admin
; console as well.  See section 2.3 and 2.4 in the readme.txt for how to do
; this.
;
; q2adminban.txt is loaded from the Quake2 directory and then the mod directory
; in that order.
;
;
; The format for each ban line is:
;
; BAN: [+/-(-)] [ALL/[NAME [LIKE/RE] "name"/BLANK/ALL(ALL)] [IP xxx[.xxx(0)[.xxx(0)[.xxx(0)]]][/yy(32)]] [PASSWORD "xxx"] [MAX 0-xxx(0)] [FLOOD xxx(num) xxx(sec) xxx(silence] [MSG "xxx"]
;
; e.g.
; BAN: NAME LIKE "fuck"
; BAN: NAME BLANK MSG "no blank names allowed"
; BAN: IP 192.168.1.10
; BAN: + ALL MAX 10
; BAN: + IP 192.168/16
; BAN: ALL MSG "Down For Maintenance"
; BAN: + NAME RE "^VK-.*$" PASSWORD "duck" MSG "Name reserved for Clan VK"
; BAN: + NAME LIKE "Fred" FLOOD 10 4 -1
;
;
; CHATBAN: [LIKE/RE(LIKE)] "xxx" [MSG "xxx"]
;
; e.g.
; CHATBAN: "fuck"
; CHATBAN: RE "f[u$@#%]ck"
;
;
; INCLUDE: "banfile"
;
; e.g.
; INCLUDE: "/banlist/banlist.txt"
;
BAN: NAME BLANK MSG "no blank names allowed"

Now you can add mandatory Name registrations when you add:

Code: Select all

BAN: ALL MSG "Register first. Contact Gen or use the form on http://blahblah.com whatever whatnot"

BAN: + NAME LIKE "Gen" PASSWORD "myg3nitals" MSG "Name reserved for Gen"

Make this thread sticky?

Mmm was it balle or some other server that required nick registration on pages before allowing to enter server

[Samislide]

I think it was Mats Hus av aj-aj or Psycopats New House of pain. I remember Mats made alot of changes on his servers compared to others. Noscore, statspage, booking, name registration etc.

[minchiano]

What Sami said. The [balle] server just took over the players when Mats quit working, hence had to take the servers down. No nickreg or nothing on our serv, we (rcon holders) actively played it and if we saw something we disliked we kicked the shites out of it. That's maybe why so many people played there, it was llama free

[Gen]

thank you very much...

but I have some problems

when i try to join the connection is refussed, but in my cfg I have set pw xxx u
where xxx is the password of my clan tag

[BeAViS]

i think you have to set different passwords for each player do you want to allow to connect.
so, one password for each teammate.

q2adminban.txt

Most servers are updating to the newest version of q2admin. Since the new version automaticly downloads a nick reservation list it's now possible to register your nick here (http://www.q2admin.net/index.php?i=z).
