hlguard and name-ban

[buffy]

Hello

I wanted to make it so certain names were not allowed in my server. Someone on irc told me I could just add the specific names to the name-ban file in hlguard. This file is "hlg_nameban.cfg"

It contains a huge list of names gathered by United Admins, of hacker clan tags.

I copy/pasted a few lines and added some new names in there, uploaded it.

But it isn't working - the names are still showing up. If a map change was needed, I'm sure I gave it one...and if a server reboot was needed, the server has crashed a few times since I changed this file, so all should be good in those areas.

Is there another file I need to change to get this to work?

you need to go to this file:

addons/hlguard/config/hlg_net.cfg and in there:

Code: Select all

// Name kicking/banning - review contents of hlg_nameban.cfg before enabling
//hlg_exec addons/hlguard/config/hlg_nameban.cfg

set it to look like:

Code: Select all

// Name kicking/banning - review contents of hlg_nameban.cfg before enabling
hlg_exec addons/hlguard/config/hlg_nameban.cfg

then save and restart server.

ya sometimes its not

gotta do the one the line is executing

you can change the location of the file if you wish.
