Thanks White Panther, we currently have this installed. Cool idea on the ban system, one suggestion I could make on that is to make it compatible with Amxbans 5.0.

Thanks again,

Z

[mE]

addded:
- when Helper is loaded, notify and information are only shown once
- Ban System to ban players from buying upgrades

First off all I'd like to report a little bug regarding the Helper: is_helper_running = is_plugin_loaded("Helper") will return -1 if Helper is not loaded and thus equate to a boolean true. This will make line 4627 and 4635 always return true and in result always display the information just once (the only exception: Helper being the first plugin, which will act as if it wasn't installed). Solution: Check for -1 rather than 0.

In response to your new ban system: It's arguable if it's fair to refuse certain people to get upgrades, but that's not the point: At least ship your plugin with a blank ban list, server ops should decide who to ban themselves, shouldn't they? (IMG:http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Although M@L3KiTh probably deserves being banned from your server, we can't actually ban him from all servers for something you consider "nasty"...

(I'm aware of the fact that server ops can take out the STEAMIDs and not all servers run your plugin, but I hope you get the point anyway...)

Also I'm not trying to bash your work at all, in fact I appreciate the new version and am sure many others will! Keep up the good work, and I bet you will... (IMG:http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)

[White Panther]

ok fixed it, no new vesion as it is not such a big error

In response to your new ban system: It's arguable if it's fair to refuse certain people to get upgrades, but that's not the point:

well that way players can still play on a server but just with disadvantages ( at least classic maps will work for them

At least ship your plugin with a blank ban list, server ops should decide who to ban themselves, shouldn't they? (IMG:http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Although M@L3KiTh probably deserves being banned from your server, we can't actually ban him from all servers for something you consider "nasty"...

i am only following their wishes. i told them to stop and that i "could" do ban them in some way.
next thing they said was to ban them. so here they are.

[Darkness]

I agree with mE, remove those entries. I don't care what they did to you, they haven't done anything to anyone else. Preemptively adding them to a ban list for anything other server ops will download is ridiculous.
However, as this board prohibits personal attacks, I don't think it will stay for long.

[Guest_Depot_*]

The modNS Forums will not be used as a medium to advertise the banning of Natural Selection players.

The ban.cfg has been removed from the topic.

[Guest_Depot_*]

Has this latest version been developed for NSv3.2? If so, is it still compatible with earlier versions?

Please clarify.

[Headcrab]

Well, have a look at his sig:

None of my plugins have NS 3.2 support right now ! (no time, sry)

[White Panther]

you can try it for NS 3.2
maybe you will find a define inside the sma to switch to NS 3.2 ( #define PRE_NS_3_2 -> 0 )

BUT i say, "it is for NS 3.1.x"

[ZODIAC]

The modNS Forums will not be used as a medium to advertise the banning of Natural Selection players.

The ban.cfg has been removed from the topic.

Instead of removing it maybe just comment the entries out by default. I just went into my el3_ban.cfg and commented out the entries with a "//", its always good to see a working example and it would be a shame for such a useful feature to be lost because of semantics.
