assigning a player serial number............

[sneaky1]

would it be possible to have something developed into ET Pro or BayonET where each player gets assigned a permanent serial number or something according to their IP because it seems you can't ban a player permanently because they can just change names.

Of course this would be used for banning and kicking for x amount of min.

Your best bet to get something like this which players can't evade is PB's GUID. The GUID is a hash of the CD key, which is checked with the RTCW CD key server, so it's impossible for the client to change this without using a different CD key.

Unfortunately, this falls apart a bit in ET (where there are no actual CD keys), but it'll keep the less determined people from bothering you.

If the annoying person is smart enough to change their GUID in ET, you can ban them by IP address with

Code: Select all

addip 1.2.3.4

or by using wildcards, e.g.

Code: Select all

addip 1.2.3.*

The downside of IP banning is that it won't neccesarily catch the player 100% of the time, and there's a chance that it will catch innocent players; still, some people are hell bent on being childish, and there's not much you can do about that.

Hope that helps.
