BANCRASH {playerid} = Ban player and crash client

hehe - sure this doesnt violate any laws?

i love this just by the readme - gonna install it as soon as im back home

[kawaii]

I suppose it just shuts down the UT client of the player in question. There are other scripts doing that aswell (can't remember which one)

BANCRASH {playerid} = Ban player and crash client

You can crash the client?? :O

[{DnF2}SiNiSTeR]

Some annoying bastards/botters deserve a bancrash imo

[kawaii]

I agree with you Sinister

[grep]

Isn't this something which can be abused during a clanwar? The other party never knowing someone's logged in as an admin...

[iDeFiX]

Might be, and I hope it won't be used that way.

But I created it with a public server in mind.

iDeFiX... you rock!

We have fully implemented this into our server at UTGameZone.... and it's great!

The 3 features I've used most:
Rename - Someone came in using VERY offensive name... I changed it

SayP - We had a suspected lamer on the server... and another admin was there with me, so I private messaged him in-game to keep an eye out... VERY USEFUL!!

Spectate - You can spectate anyone in game, even if your in as a player. We had the lamer mentioned above, and I was able to spectate him, even though he was on the other team, WITHOUT HIM EVEN KNOWING!


NICE JOB MAN! NICE JOB!
The most useful mod ever... even more than my beloved ASC!

[Brody]

Absolutely the same i do. Thank you so much for that greatNuseful Mutator.

The mutator is very usefull for public/pickup servers, unfotunatly there is a slight chance that this mutator can be abbused in clanwars, let's just hope people won't

I thank you for this tool. I've been playing around with it on our server and have only had a couple problems one the update fixed and the other syntax related.

The exact syntax of the commands, took a little playing, but I figured that out. The only problem is that I have tried to rename a player and I think I still have that wrong. Could you place an example for me?

I tried to do:

mutate ha rename [ACE]Boru [ACE]Boru_nametest

and this didn't work. Do I just need to choose a shorter name?

Secondly, would it be too much trouble to request a "How to" guide on how to use the tool? I'm really new to the UT Administration and have learned a lot of new things in the past 2 months. Also, I have to pass this info on to 10 other Administrators who will be using this tool and it would be great to have this guide from the developer and not from secondhand playing and guesswork on my part.

So far what I have used/tried/tested (you pick) and passed on to the other Admins, they love this tool!!! It seems that is the general attitude of this forum thread as well.

Good job and Thanks!

I know you were asking the creator, but I've figured it out easily.
You just have to login first before you can do anything at all.

mutate ha login testpass

now you are in. Get the command list

mutate ha help

Now here's why your rename isn't working. Each player has a player ID. HA bases all player commands on this id. To get player's IDs, type

mutate ha list

OK... now a list will come up with player's names. The LEFT of their name will be a number (like 1 or 4, any number).

So let's see an expample in action here.

To Rename Bill_Hill to Bill_NameTest

mutate ha login testpass
[User =MC=Matthew=> logged in]
mutate ha list
[2 - MC=Matthew - IP:72.824.278.72]
[3 - Bill_Hill - IP:12.35.25.2]
mutate ha rename 3 Bill_NameTest


There... now you're done. Hit F1, and you'll see it come up.



Now what if you want to private message a player in-game?
To Priavte Message Bill_Hill

mutate ha login testpass
[User =MC=Matthew=> logged in]
mutate ha list
[2 - MC=Matthew - IP:72.824.278.72]
[3 - Bill_Hill - IP:12.35.25.2]
mutate ha sayp 3 Hi, please don't camp there, it makes the game less fun.


You see, all the actions you do have to be with their ID number. Try it

[iDeFiX]

In the readme.txt:

RENAME {playerid} {name} = Rename player

{playerid} is the number of the player, not the current name. To get the playerid, you must use mutate ha list. This command returns a list with playerid, name, ip and some special info (like bot, spec, admin). Get the id of the player you want to rename and use the rename command.

Small example. This renames the player 'aImbOt' to 'l0seR':
> mutate ha list
> [HA] === LIST OF PLAYERS (id, ip, name, info) ===
> [HA] 2 n00b 192.168.1.2
> [HA] 3 aImbOt 192.168.1.3
> mutate ha rename 3 l0seR

Considering the how-to... It's true the mutator is not very easy for the beginning admin, so might be a good idea. Could you PM me some directions or questions you have or tasks you want to do. That helps to make a good start.
