iChaos Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I recently had one of my admins on my server do some kind of ban where everytime I restart the server it reinforces the bans he made. He made the ban through Punkbuster, which I'm not incredibly familiar with. How do I remove this ban? It says that the player cannot connect because their subnet or Ip is banned from the server. Also, for future reference, how do I make this type of ban? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellreturn Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 All popular mods i.e. jaymod, NQ, etpub, etc enforces bans once it is stored in the shrub/.db files. Bans made by using PB are mostly stored in pbbans.dat file. If you are server admin I suggest you read this manual. http://evenbalance.com/publications/et-ad/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 This command is used to ban a player from your server by IP: PB_SV_BanMask [iP Address / Subnet Mask]Permanently bans players from joining the server from the specified IP Address / Subnet Mask; for example: issuing PB_SV_BanMask "12.34." will cause PB to deny access to all players trying to join from an IP Address that begins with "12.34."; These bans are written to the pbbans.dat file just like bans issued with the PB_SV_Ban command To unban him, use the command: PB_SV_UnBanMask [[iP Address / Subnet Mask] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellreturn Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) To unban him, use the command: PB_SV_UnBanMask [[iP Address / Subnet Mask] If I am not wrong their is no PB command like that. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I think all he can do is manually change the pbbans.dat file or use this command: PB_SV_UnBan [slot #]Unbans a player from the ban list stored in memory; use pb_sv_updbanfile to update the permanent ban file after using this command PB_SV_UpdBanFile [optional filename] Updates the specified ban file (pbbans.dat is used if none specified) with regard to recent unbans/rebans Edited December 7, 2009 by hellreturn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisi-Deff Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Actually... to unban mask bans, you can use: pb_sv_unbanguid MASK127.0. Just replace 127.0. with the mask that was used to ban. ^^ ~ /*Pisi*/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
