allow list insteed a ban list?

[Hitme]

is something like a allow list implemented or possible?

like user reggs over a php with the server and else he can't access the server?

You can ban all IPs using regex and then add all allowed users to a admin group that ignores server bans.

The problem I see with this is how do you add people to the allow list if they can not connect. For my server I set the lobby to no talk to guest and guest can't move ( really no powers) and a password for server. If I want to allow someone then I add them to a group. This way the lobby acts as a throughput to determine who is allowed

I can see where having the ability to create a white-list of only the users you want would be nice instead of having to black-list.

Then again I think I need to work with the premission system the TS devs made to see it's full capabilities.

what i want in the end is a website on php where the user can register his unqie ts3 is together with some other needed external stuff (a game id with includes his clan tag) and if this check runs positiv he gain access to the server.
also i want to have a check all 24h if the tag is still current and if nomore the player get unregisted and his account gets deleted + after 14days inactivity his account also gets deleted.
i don't want any1 else beside that allowed members (and SA's) to be able to connect to the server.

since we don't have usernames and passwords anymore its hard to diff people. noone can remember the uniqe id's.
but with a playerbase for the game over 300.000 and with about 5k registred users who will be able to see if any1 got nomore the right to be on the server .. he just can change his username to anything he want.

Then I would create a simple php register page to insert the needed information and then determine which tables it needs to go into. Shouldn't be "That" hard.

The ID is generated on the client, not the server so you can get it without even connecting to a server.

Yup, but sadly, that other Voice software has been doing it basically this way for the last few (many) years and it has worked AND stole marketshare from TS in the process.

well i guess all i need is a server that only let in known id's .. rest can be made with php and sql.

just a right like "can connect to server" in the groups .. and then block it out all guests .. and all member who register on website get automaticly the status normal

(well and i think i also would need also need a bigger npl ..)

*edit*
and before you ask, noone has to pay for access to the server you just have to be in one of the right "clans"

[Malivil]

Uhhh... my idea (my first post in this thread) will do exactly that.

[Whinis]

I have just tried with current permissions to prevent guest from joining and it seems impossible

edit:The only problem with that is in order to ban someone you would then need to remove them from the users which is takes longer than clicking ban.

Ban is an evil necessity

Wouldn't it just be easier to set a password?

a password can be given our easy.

and about ban ip's, ip's for users usually switch all 24h ..

That's why I said ban ALL IPs.

If you ban EVERY SINGLE IP (using regex) then NOBODY can connect.


After that, you add people to an admin group with the "Ignore Bans" (b_client_ignore_bans) permission.


That way, only those people in the admin group may connect.

[Hitme]

well but i only wanr "normal" user to connect i don't want to have 5k serveradmins...
