Hi Guys

We are trying to find out how to add a permanent ban to our gaming servers.

When a player is permanently banned they become unbanned once the servers reset every 24 hours.

Does anyone know the command to keep permanent bans in place ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers !

There are several ways to do this. If you are banning via mani, you have to add a 0 for permanent ban

Code: Select all

ma_ban 0 STEAM_ID

If you are doing it via the console:

Code: Select all

banid 0 STEAM_ID
kickid STEAM_ID
writeid

If you don't do writeid then it doesn't get written to the banned_user.cfg file and will reset if the server ever restarts.

At our clan we have a separate ban file for those that we as a group decide on. Then in our server.cfg we execute that file. The reason being is we have notes in our banned file that we see why someone was banned. If you do a writeid, it removes all notes.

I have just noticed that the ban id are written to the cfg file "banned user "

There is a list on there of steam id's and each has the "0" before the steam id.

Is there a command to set in the cfg files each time the server starts to execute the banned list ?

Many Thanks for your help.

i believe mani executes the baned list file automatically. it also may start automatcally in the non-mani cfg. i forget because i dont have a hl2dm server any more.

Try these
// execute ban files
exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg

The commands that Keefy posted need to be in your server.cfg file. The server will execute them every time the map changes.
