modify autoban to not activate when bot does the dropping

[Koby_Fish]

Seriously, this should not even be happening. Isn't there a variable to program, an if then statement where IF bot drops connection then NO autoban (or however that goes in whatever programming language)? After all, if it's the bot that's malfunctioning, how is that the fault of the player? They should not be punished for something the bot did that was utterly and entirely out of their control.

Maybe program the if then statement or whatever so that the bot ONLY autobans when someone leaves voluntarily (either by plug pull or alt qq)? There has got to be a way to implement something along those lines, isn't there?

Something like this might do it

Code: Select all

if($player_should_be_autobanned) {
    autoban_player();
} else {
    don't_autoban();
}

?

I don't think that's possible. Simply because, it could be the bot, or it could be your internet connection. If it's your connection, then you should be using a recon tool, and a recon tool will actually keep you in the game (or at least gproxy does). If it's the bot, post a ban appeal, we will isolate the instance, make sure it's the bot, and unban you if it was. . We will still advise you get a recon tool though.

Well even if it was the ISP, the person still shouldn't be banned. It's not the fault of the player if the ISP does something like hiccup.
I know the game can tell the difference between "left the game voluntarily" and "Player disconnected [ECONRESET]" and the Bot doing the dropping (if that's something different than ECONRESET).

It's their ISP, ergo, technically their problem, not ENT's. If they don't fix it, it's ruining the game for others.

People should consider purposly forced drops before removing autoban.

[Stealer]

Well I think OP wants situations where the server has issues or etc and the player is ejected or dropped from the game because the bot crashed to result in no autoban.
Idk the specifics of current autoban but I don't think the "don't" is valid code so uakf solution is likely not to work.

[Larz]

if you drop because of your isp lets say during a storm then its why un ban while the isp is still having problems still ruins games for other people

[LiquidShards]

I don't know if it should be considered to be removed but ENT has been dropping a lot of players out of games recently.

@Koby_Fish

Afaik if the server side closes a game = there is no autoban + no stats record and games get drawn.

However, there are times when server lags like hell and for such cases, people will get dc instead = resulting to autoban = hard to differentiate coding I think.

If you get autobanned because of ent server crash or tech problems, come on ent chat and one of the staff will unban you right away.

*post a ban appeal stating the server crashed
