Permanent bans to carry over
« on: May 13, 2017, 12:20:43 PM »
I am working in a community and we do not want bans to carry over each server because they are different gamemodes. However the one exception is permanent bans.

How would I make it so only permanent bans (aka a ban time of 0) carry over.

We already have MySQL databases to carry out this function.

Perhaps you could try using source bans and just port permanent bans to source bans. Would enforce them to all servers added.

You didn't mention how far along you were in your code ideas, so here's a very high level.
You'd have to disable ULib bans.
Pseudo logic
On a ban function,
if bantime > 0 then
    write sql <gamemode> ban table = banned_player, time
else
    write sql perm ban table = banned_player, 0
end

on connect hook
On connect, check player against gamemode banlist and perm ban list.
