Bug - sort of in permission system

[markgm5]

running the current/latest versions,
server 3.0.0 beta16 build 9929
client 3.0.0 beta12 build 9931

for keys such as i_client_ban_max_bantime where infinite = -1, if you have people in another group that adds a finite time, instead of adding the permissions together like every other permission, it gives you the largest finite time, thereby overriding the infinite -1 permission.

in other words it gives you permissions equal to the largest number; but what you want is largest TIME, -1 being infinite.

i have multiple server groups with all people in the "clan member" group with whatever permissions they have (like a 10 hour ban), and a few of them in the "server admin" group as well, with the infinite ban. checking skip for that permission doesnt help, as skip only seems to override permissions in lower layers, not other groups.

the work around is to only have people in one group, but that can be inconvenient when managing the server/groups.

fyi

You can fix this. Add negated to the group with i_client_ban_max_bantime -1.
