RESOLVED - Consolidated bans list

[LeafCutter]

I run a few servers and would like to consolidate the bans list, so all servers are "looking" at the same list and if a player is banned on one they would be banned on all (a bit like the global list I guess)

Would appreciate some advice on this ;)

Cheers,

Leaf

EDIT: I know what you mean. Joe explained it.

If they are all on the same physical server you can use use a symlink for the maps/logs/ban.txt folder/file.

If your server is windows based you need to find a NTFS junction program. Only vista or higher has the built in symlink

Yeah I'm aware of this HoboHob but I'm running multiple servers so if a ban is applied on one it's enforced across the others.

Cheers for your input though ;)

I have two servers, one in England and the other in the Netherlands.

symlink? I'll Google this.

What I have been thinking about is publishing the ban lists on each server in the same fashion as the Global Blacklist.

Did you even read the entirety of my post?

EDIT: Nevermind, it appears the forum did not edit my post when I pushed submit.

Use ban publish and then subscribe to your banslists

Code: Select all

    "ban_publish" : {
        "enabled" : true,
        "port" : 32885
    },
    "ban_subscribe" : {
        "enabled" : true,
        "urls" : [
            ["http://www.blacklist.spadille.net/subscribe.json", []],
            ["http://aos.minit.nu/MinitEU/blacklist.json", []],
            ["http://aos.minit.nu/MinitBabel/blacklist.json", []],
            ["http://aos.minit.nu/MinitInfiltration/blacklist.json", []],
            ["http://us.minit.nu:32885", []],
            ["http://us2.minit.nu:32885", []]
        ]
    },

Cheers for the input but I sorted it using a MySQL database (running on my web server) and PHP to output the contents (the bans) in JSON format, I then pointed my servers to this published ban list using the method suggested by Enari.

What this allows me to do is, via a web page, add the ban (to the offending player) and it's enforced across all my servers ;)
