Query regarding dod_blockexploits
 

Hi all,

We run a server that has dod_blockexploits installed and get the occasional offender picked up by it.

We also have a "monitor" parsing all the real-time data that comes from logaddress_add, so we can update our player stats as well as track who gets banned and by whom. (I have modified plmenu and pmenufront to do this).

I would also like to get "Real Time" information about who your plugin kicks/bans for a "Hall of Shame" - but I cannot detect any messages from your plug-in in the normal feed or log files only in the logs from your plug-in.

Is it possible to have this information "logged" to the console etc.

cheers

ya i could add normal hl log output (which should send it thru the server console first)

any specific format you'd like it in? or is same as the dod_blockexploits log file format fine?

Hi diamond-optic,

Thanks for the quick response.

The short answer is "whatever is easiest for you".

The parser is in PHP and it will be a trivial change in there.

ok im gonna try and get around to posting a new release tomorrow that will have logging to the default hl log files.. the msgs should look something like this:

when the logging option is on....
all detections (no matter what action is taken) should print a msg like this:
then if an action is taken there should be a 2nd msg as well thats looks like this:
the playername, steamid, ipaddress parts should be self explanatory as to what will replace them.. the detection_name is replaced by whatever the server admin sets in the config file for the plugin... and the ACTION part will be replaced by 'blocked', 'kicked', or 'banned' depending on which action is taken ontop of the detection.

so you should be able to catch ALL detections, and then seperately catch blocked, kicked, and banned actions...


also if it would be easier for you, i can change all the sections to or the other way around.. not sure which will be easiest for you to parse

Hi diamond-optic,

I really appreciate you help in this area.

I could quite readily use the following method ..
I will create a new page on our forums, a "Hall of Shame" as soon as I change the parser. It will log (in MySQL) and display in (nearly) Real Time as well as adding them to our "Recent Ban/Recent Kick" pages.

I would be pleased if we could applaud both your efforts and time with a comment and a link in our forums.

let me know if this logging stuff works for you now and if theres anything else you need for it :)

Cool,
Me or Oldie will keep you update on how it's running.
oh i'm the sucker who installs it. :)

oops,
forgot to ask, will it run on AMX 76c ? i am shaw i read somewhere you have compiled it for 76d and above, yeah ??

thanks

well you could try the one for 1.76d, it might work without a problem.. but I will try to get ahold of 1.76c to compile it for that when i get a chance

ok nevermind it was faster then i thought it would be lol..

i attached the 1.76c compiled version and i will update the downloads in a moment
