Banning by GUID

[gibblets]

Is there any way I can ban by GUID #?

[Glanzer]

Easily done if you have PB enabled. Do a search for "ban" on this page:

If you don't have pb post back here....

Oh Glanzer, having a lazy day I c huh :P

When you ban by /rcon banclient <client id>, it records that persons CoD GUID in a ban.txt file in your CoD UO folder (or MAIN, on or the other). If you use PB, the /rcon pb_sv_ban <pb client id>, it will record that persons PB GUID in the pbbans.dat file (located in the PB folder).

LOL, I knew that, but if you use just /banclient the person has to be currently connected. If you use PB they don't have to be connected, you only have to know their guid (which can be copied from the server log).

Of course you can also manually edit the ban.txt file to put guids in there, and that was what I was going to explain to him if he wasn't using pb.

but yeah it was kind of lazy.

No, I'm not using PB. How do I do it by editing the ban.txt file and where do I find it.

Thanks in advance.

For regular CoD it's in the MAIN folder; I would assume the same be true of UO...either there or it's in the UO folder. If you don't have one in either, you can create your own, it's just a simple text file and looks like this:

[Player GUID] [Player Name - Optional]

So, it's structured as the player guid, then a space, then the player name. The name is purely optional so you could just gave the GUID.

Example:
323366 RADGER death
105400 tau.vau:N.vorburgh
472491

Just use Notepad to create/edit the file.

Easy enough. Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it. :clap:
