Why on EARTH would you save the banlist to THEIR computer?

So unless you know of some other way to save files to the player's computer; it would only work on 1 key. | |
Naming it a universal name? Call it a string of numbers, or something legit sounding like an appriviation of your game. Then have it just check for this file. Or you can use .txt files containing a innocent log and have that be the hash. It's the general idea of writing a file to their computer and rebanning apon logging in that I'm pushing here.

It doesn't matter what you name the file. Once client.Export() is used; the file automatically gets saved in a specific folder under a specific name. And client.Import() only imports said file. You can't be assigning file names/locations as far as I know. | |
I'm not really familuar with client.Export() but it doesn't seem to effect the idea of it. Just browsing through the related procs though, it appears if file() may be used to this effect as well.

Ah oh well. I'm not familuar with a different way then, aside from then making a list of dealt bans and is he possed one, then reban. Also the .txt file idea is still in the air.
If someone does know how to do it, feel free to let me know because I now want to build on this idea and would love to have some guidance in it. | |
Ban everyone and make them apply for rights? or perhaps cookie everyone requesting their GUID, if GUID on ban list then no can do buddy! this would ban the computer itself, not the key or the IP.
| |
stands for generic unique identification.. every computer has a GUID.
{edit}you can find it in your regestry but if you change it your done for... | |
Uh if you are talking about what I think you are, you can set it whenever you want without a problem.
| |
You mean your computer's IP? (not the IP assigned to you by your ISP if you have cable, like Comcast)
| |
I can't find anything, anywhere about those. I did find a theory for globally unique identifiers, which are more a less a SSN for internet users. It was just an idea though and hasn't been put into action in any large scale.
Also, meddling with peoples registries? Is that even allowed by any decent firewall/security program w/o permession?? | |
Yeah, thats the stuff. i don't know much about it, but i do know thats how the microsoft supercomputer in antarctica identifies, classifies and logs all computer activity it the world, and then makes reccomendations of action to the US Air Force Cyber Devision. Its true.

[EDIT] I found the appropriate term. It is called a hash. You save A (Just one) .sav file to thier computer. Then check for that .sav when a player goes to log in, if it is there just add him to the ban list and kick him. The ban list is perfectly safe on wherever you curently have it.
