players being unbanned by server.

[eswginger]

ok i have a hl2dm server installed with the sourceforts addon.

for some reason after like 12-24 hours it removed anyone and everyone from the banned_user.cfg

this is a major problem as i cant keep the people i want out, "OUT"
i also have the following installed.

Eventscripts (2nd from latest version), latest wouldnt work
Metamod (latest version)
Mani admin plugin (latest beta version) its not this, i reinstalled without it and still the same.
Full ammo script for eventscripts and a freezestatus plugin for metamod.

if anyone could help me with this i would be extremely thankfull

Thanks in Advance

did you try write_ip and write_id everytime before you shut down the server?

[eswginger]

yes, doesnt make a difference

Well this is kinda weird, I wouldn't know how it could possibly delete all the bans.. what you can do in meantime is copy the banned_user.cfg and call it like bans.cfg and exec that on startup to not lose the bans you made.

on start up????

dude may be u misunderstood me but this is a dedicated server forum is it not?

my sourceforts server is hosted on a dedicated box along with css server that i have.

ok i had a back up of banned_user.cfg, i restored them and exec'ed it on the console, it says the the banned_user.cg is greater than 20MB, how in hell can a cfg file be that big, the file is only 1kb......

[Drocona]

Seems like there's some weird stuff going on on your box there...

and yes I'm talking about a dedicated server, I have 8 myself.
Make sure there are no loops in the cfg file and like my post above, try copy and rename, then exec it. It might help..

Better have another look at Mani, I know for a fact that it will not retain temporary bans (time based) past a reboot. At least the latest .r version running on srcds.exe . They even state so in their user manual. I have one server that gets a reboot every 24 hours. Our bans under mani do not save past that unless they are entered in as permanent.

Hope that helps in your quest.

its fixed, all it was, was this in the server.cfg

exec banned_user.cfg

lol it just wasnt there
