Could give users some sort of ID based on there hardware, so you have to get a new PC to avoid a permaban.

Have you not been reading the deconning-related threads?

There is a new building system being developed that does address the deconning issue whereby structures are marked for deconstruction instead of being removed immediately. Then, when a new structure is placed the marked structures are deconstructed to free enough build points. This makes rapid deconstruction of all essential structures difficult, but will not prevent malicious building attacks (where malicious players deliberately build useless bases, or place spawns over holes, etc.). An advantage of this system is that it will give players and administrators enough time to kick or ban the malicious player before they have caused major damage.

Overall, for now your best bet is to play on servers that have active administrators.
"You can't patch deconners" is unfortunately true. It means that it is simply not practical to implement a way to deny access to all malicious players on public servers. There will always be griefers and deconners out there.

that would be rediculously easy to circumvent in an open source game.

you dont even need open source for it

what about the master server?? after a ban get he a id 123.456.789 and its get in a rar folder and what a password only the master who the passord have can open it and there is the id in.. and the can we ban the id

you are my hero

[techhead]

Please tell me some sort of timeline on when Tremulous 1.2.0 comes out?
At least give us a To-do/done list, so we know how its going.

are you sleeping it is out
maybe because you were busy with forums and didnt look at the main page?

I think there is maybe a good idea hidden in your post but could you do it again in english this time?

Dolby, is that you?

!!!! NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT!!!....... no.. its not

Nooo.. i don't think so.. you just went back to square one... which is.. HOW DO YOU PERMENANTLY LABEL A DECONNER?.. you can't use their IP or anything else.. so giving them an id is useless because you have nothing to tie them to it with.

You can only inconvenience them.. but banning won't ever solve the problem fully. There has to be built in things like !denybuild, or the new build system.. it has to be part of the game and the way things are built... it can't be in the punishment.

[G1N0R0G]

so now are only the player of the game.. what about the maker of the game? what did they mean??  :wink:

Unfortunately this requires Punkbuster to be enabled and applied, but from what I remember, it did solve some griefing issues-

How applicable it might be to Tremulous someone else would have to decide.

Perhaps there is a germ of a good idea in there after all, but it would require a reputation system.   Public servers would need to allow zero-reputation users in normally, but if deconning becomes a problem at a particular time, admin or vote could put server into good-guy-only mode for a period of time.  Reputation would be given and taken by vote (e.g. allow everyone currently playing except deconner), and would need to be tied to authenticated usernames so that the deconner couldn't get in with a random new name and couldn't steal someone else's good identity to get in.   Complex, requires client mods to authenticate (e.g. digitally sign) user names, but it's theoretically possible.  Servers like potato patch already maintain user kill stats, so adding a "plays well with others" reputation field to the user record wouldn't be a big deal.

Hi gino there is a script that the deconners CANT decon the last spawn so yeah they can decon the rec and that kind of stuff but it is a bigin

[Foobicam]

Just like to hear yourself talk?  Just trying to boost your post count with content-free chatter?

In my book you necro a year old thread, but not one that is just 24 days old.

On-topic replies welcome.  Flames ignored.

[Thorn]

On these forums. You just necro'd.. Get over it

[n00b pl0x]

yessss lets flame the person who actually had a decent reply because he posted on a topic a few weeks old

I didn't know about this, but I like it (I don't consider banning a fix, but a punishment to the exploiter). I had a similar idea in mind which simply was needing to "unheal" the reactor for deconing it the same as it's healed when it's building, and never allowing to deconstruct the last node (nodes would be allowed to deconstruct as long as there is another node).

Wheres the global ban when you need it

Are you sleeping? Only 1.1.0 is out...

I came up with a simple patch that just adds a global variable (g_allowDeconstruct) that turns deconstructing on or off.  Admins can use rcon to set it.  Possibly builders would request to have it turned on temporarily so that things can be deconned.  Here it is:

I realize that the developers have a more sophisticated solution in the works, but this may still be useful in some cases.

Inverse !denybuild...

most server admins don't have rcon...
