Add this to your PBSV.cfg. This was given to me by WiZZ.

i dont get how this will kick peeps by ip or username and not the guid but i will try it does it work for you

Well if you do not want a person inside your server with the name of "Dummy", then add dummy. Like this:

//Bad Names
pb_sv_badname 60 Dummy
pb_sv_badname 60 loser
pb_sv_badname 60 Admin

Now it will kick the people who try and connect with:

dummy
loser
admin

as a name. It works on the alieneware servers where Alienware does not want players connecting with Alienware as a tag or part of their name or player handle. I see it in the logs everyday. It gives the person a boot and says "Player Name not Allowed".

I will look up the player ip banning via pb here in a sec. have some server orders to fill.

Why on earth would you want to do this? The kick on name part is one thing, but ban on IP? Most people have dynamic IP's so ban by GUID is the best thing since sliced pineapple.

If you want to ban on IP anyway, do it in your firewall.

btw, folks, I have a rather extensive "bad" names list I'm using in PB (through the good graces of BlackBart via MajorWoody, I got a huge list then have added to it).

The names are mostly swear words, obscenitites, and hate-oriented (I get a lot of kids on my server, and, frankly, some of the names disgust ME), but I've also added, for instance "Unknown Soldier"...I insist that players name themselves...it's not that hard.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

Great..show them how.

Well, that's handled very differently depending on firewall type. Usually it's set up as a rule.

Incoming TCP/UDP from 123.123.123.123 -> Allow -> Never

is a typical one. :wink:
