Protect ClanTag

<< < (3/3)

JamminR:
With my idea, you'd be adding clan members as a group name that had no other access. Only the "user" access that everyone has by default.
If it is as simple as I hope, we'd simply add a extra option to addgroup, that would place an indicator in the group attributes somewhere. Perhaps a new allow flag called "clan".

--- Code: ---"uSyn|"
{
"deny"
{
}
"allow"
{
"clan"
}
"inherit_from"
{
}
}

--- End code ---
IF ULX or ULIB were modified, the above would give them normal user rights, and the group allow "clan" flag would somehow tell ULX to warn/kick player if they weren't a member of that group and thier name included that groupname.
Megiddo/spbogie will have to post more if this is a total rewrite or overly complicated, or if making them admin later would cancel out the clan group. In my idea, I wouldn't want to have other groups inherit this one. I'd want the user to be able to have two groups.
Guys, will adduser overwrite original group, or add to it?

Ok, my light bulb is being switched off for now. I have to be up in 5 hours. Server maintenance. Sunday at 5am. Grrr.

MrPresident:
to answer your question. yes.

ply:query("clantag") would detect if a user was allowed access to "clantag" in the user.txt file. You could write a module to check this flag on spawn. The users would have to have you give them this flag before they set their name.

JamminR, I think it would be neat if ULX could incorporate this into ULX, however not sure if or when it would be done. =)

Megiddo:
This is something that would be better as a module, since it would not get mainstream usage. :)

ShaRose:
Actually it'd be really nice if you added a way to check for stuff in ULib.ucl.probe so that module wouldn't have to overwrite it, unless it used a think. For example, in UPA 1.2, I'm going to have password hashing protection, which needs another flag / command. I'm just adamant to override default ULib functions. Right now, if i use another flag, on join, say if it's a clantag, if that person has that tag, and the account is hashed, that person will automatically auth, because the password flag is empty. Which is bad. But yeah, secure clantags are possible with passwords. You can make them with upa 1.1 right now.

EDIT: Whoops, my bad. I've had it done but not released for too long, waiting for hashing to work.
