[Question] re: PM command 5165

Is there a such thing as tempban, ban, or ipban commands for PM's for 5165 source? only ones ive seen are for LOTF, and i actually have no clue how to convert them

#request close wrong section

#reported: This is a release section, not a discussion/questions section.

That being said, the commands should function very similarly between 5017 lotf and the new one. Just look at how the commands are structured in the new one and make the old ones look like the new ones in structure.


ban/ipban has been released
temp ban would require more coding such as how long the ban is for (stored in character/account db) but would be very codable.. just more difficult and not released.

oh duh...ya my bad.

And thx for the info...was wondering, am still pretty noob at coding yet, and sometimes when i tried to convert code i kept getting errors and couldnt figure it out.

For temp ban you could make a new table for characters and define it as Tempban.
Then you can make a command.
/tempban CharName

Not hard.
Then after that you can code something so it will be:
if (GC.MyChar.Tempban > 0)
{
Disconnect;
}

hmmmm ok...you mean a hashtable?

Not what I'm talking about at all.
I pretty much gave you a guide on how to do it lol.

Actually if I wad doing it I would do a time based system so have the database using a date time controled by the command.

That way you could do something like /tempban playername (day/week/month)

Then have the source check if the temp ban datetime is before current datetime, if it is then clear the temp ban and allow character to log.

Not that your system wouldn't work but there would be very poor handling of unbanning a character (would need a system to lower the count server side and update the database causing extra system resources to be used, etcetc)

True but it wasn't a complete idea lol.
It was just something I thought up really quick.
