I know but with Sourcebans I can uban people and ban them by that.

Come on ppl please I need help!

Might just be me, but that sentence made no sense.
With JUST Uban, you can ban someone on a server, and say you had 12 servers.. They would get automatically banned on all servers with uban installed (Providing they all use the same database/table)

Sourcebans: Yeah its a nice tool, however do not think it supports Gmod, however saying that I have seen some of the more popular servers use Sourcebans, could be wrong though.
I might look into this, as although i like Uban too much already (Generally love MySQL and when this released i think i had a little orgasm.) Sourcebans is a very powerful tool and would be a great addition to any server.

I'll let you know if I have any luck, Or find out anything relevant.

All, SourceBans has popped up several times now.

I can understand why one might want it; but only if you run more than Gmod.
SourceBans would allow across multiple games (CS,TF2, etc), as UBan only works in Gmod.

I have a coding urge lately, and will probably pick up that mini project again soon.
No promises. Work has been ... well, bad four letter words, lately.

Sam, or anyone... who here has ULX and SourceBans installed?

Can the CONSOLE of the server ban players using smban?
I wish to have to prevent having the Gmod server admin have to add admin access to both Gmod and SourceBans, so am trying to use ban commands run through the server.

I have code that needs tested as I don't have SourceBans nor the urge to install it just for development purposes.

[Ninjadude101]

I have ULX working now, assuming it's easy to install sourcebans, I'm happy to give it a try.

[JamminR]

Not really necessary ninjadude.
It's basically an admin system for all Source games. Mostly for those who run multiple gametype servers other than Gmod
If someone gets banned from, say, a CSS or TF2 server, and that host has SourceBans running across all thier game servers, it bans across all Source game types.
I've seen instructions for setting up for Gmod somewhere.

We've had a few requests for ULX mods for it to make it easier on folks who do run it.
You have to add admins to it too, which is why I'm trying to ask those who run it if the 'server console' can act as an admin for SourceBans.

Glad to hear you got ULX running. Please post in the other thread we were talking about your problem what it was. I'm curious why it wasn't working for you but was for others.

I was wondering how long it will take to do or is anyone doing it cause I need it ASAP please.

[JamminR]

I'm about to start swearing.
The people that want this never seem to read/answer my questions... information I must absolutely know before even considering releasing this code.

I'll ask this again, I'll even BOLD it.

WILKISAM (or anyone)
If I run a SERVER with Sourcebans, could I type "sm_ban <person> <time> <reason>" IN SERVER CONSOLE and have the SERVER BAN the name typed in?
OR in OTHER WORDS;
Could YOU type "rcon sm_ban <person> <time> <reason>" and the server would see the ban from SourceBans?

I NEED to know if the SERVER can ban, not just admins on it.

Q: If I run a SERVER with Sourcebans, could I type "sm_ban <person> <time> <reason>" IN SERVER CONSOLE and have the SERVER BAN the name typed in?

A: Yes, the "server" itself can ban people. It would show up as "CONSOLE" in sourcebans.

[wilkisam]

Any news on this because I really need a good admin mod with sourcebans.

[JamminR]

I can't in good faith use you to test, and it seems no one else is interested.
You seem to be a fickle admin mod user, and I don't have time to program and troubleshoot an off the wall plugin for ULX that only you seem to be interested in at this time, when you could just drop ULX any moment because another admin mod comes along.

If anyone else is truly interested, I'm all ears.

Compuwiz, you still come by here?
Still use SourceBans and ULX?

[wilkisam]

And how am I not good enough? I think
Ulx is a very good mod and I won't drop it because a new one might come out, I think ulx is the best public admin mod out there except for jiam but that isn't public I know people that use sourcebans everyday and I can ask them anything about it.

[JamminR]

And how am I not good enough?

I didn't say not good enough.
I said fickle.
You say in this post you use ULX and its great and you won't drop it.
Yet, you said few short days earlier you don't use ULX and didn't seem to want to.

That is your right. I'm not refusing to do it for you at this point because you are or are not using ULX.
I'm not doing it at this point because I don't feel I could trust you to 1) continue using ULX or 2) have patience with the possibly long (depending on how my edits to already existing code) testing process might take.
