well, some of you know me, I am |AoD|Green and ran into some difficulties banning some deconners from a server I admin. When I tried simply !ban Owned it came back with this message:
!ban: usage |name|slot|IP (duration) (reason)
I know full well how to !ban people, seeing as how I've done it before, but I did !namelog and tried IP banning him. It returned the same error message, so I did !ban 20 100000w (just to fill in the duration) deconning
Same error message was returned...
Is there a hack that makes players invisible to TJW? Because this same thing happened to me yesterday... :eek: :-?
!kick seems to work but not !ban.. I believe it's the color codes in players names that are messing up !ban. If all else fails keep continuing to kick by player #..
For a work around you could edit admin.dat and then readconfig .)

I don't host the server, I'm a senior admin on it.
ok, then have a chat with the owner :) there is a server-patch that removes the naming bug :)
I've seen something similar happen on fun-zone with a deconner wtih NO colors.
!ban xxx.xx.xx.xx Deconner
Instead of banning him , i get a nice new fresh namelog in my console....sweet.
thanks caveman... you wouldn't know the name of the patch would you? or is it just a patch number like 870-4390857437?

Try '!ban Owned 100000w deconning' ?
Unless this server is specially configured you need both a DURATION and a REASON for the ban.

Just because their name shows up white, doesn't mean there's no colors. :-)
A hunch:
I faintly remember that a 100000w is not possible .)
9d
9w
9m
9y
those were the max times to be used :)

they are all converted to seconds, and the max time (for any unit, excluding permaban of course) is 2147483647 seconds.
you just need to have the host add a flag to the admin.dat.
thanks, turns out I need a reason and a duration for the ban... and 2147483647 seconds turns out to be 3550.733 weeks, or 68.283 years... That would seem permanent enough ;)
Duration of 0 is permanently permanent :D

...and only allowed for those admins that don't need a duration anyway.
