This server-side tool kicks and bans clients by I.P. address or name by adding banning commands to Unreal.
Banned
IPs and their names are stored in xBan.ini in the BannedIPs and
BannedNames lists. The 'xBan' command will enter the client IP address
and name into the xBan.ini lists and kick the client. You can enter IP
addresses/names manually into xBan.ini if you wish by using the in-game
'ban' command or editing xBan.ini directly.
You can ban any portion of an IP address. If you wish to ban a subnet simply enter the first part of an IP address into a slot in xBan.ini. For example, this xBan.ini entry, BannedIPs[1]=156.137, will not allow any client from the 156.137 subnet to play on the server.
Banned names or name parts are stored in xBan.ini in the BanName list. Use the in-game 'banname' command to populate this list. You can add names by editing xBan.ini directly. Banning by name is case-insensitive. An entry of 'less' will ban any player whose name contains 'less', 'LESS', 'Less', etc.
You can also have xBan log the IP address and name of up to 1000 clients in xBan.ini. Name, IP Address and Computer Name (future) are stored. See "iplog" command.
INSTALLATION:
Stop the server
Put xBan.ini and xBan.u into your unreal/system directory
Add the line, ServerActors=xBan.xBanInfo, to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of DeusEx.ini
Restart the server
NOTE - All options are turned OFF when you install xBan. Be sure to turn on the functions you want to use by using the appropriate in-game command below.
