Shared ban list on one box?

[cm. 10]

Hey guys,

I can't figure out a way to have a shared ban list on two servers on the same box. There doesn't seem to be a way to post bans to a file outside of the profile folder (of which there is obviously one for each server instance). Having to manually copy bans across 4 servers is a fucking pain in the arse.

Hmm, well i remembered we already had BEC setup with it, I don't think it's working though, I'll have to have a look I guess...

use hardlinks - see

Yep, hard links on Windows or symlinks on Linux.

Also, this can't be done with the BE bans file since you need to reload the ban list on all servers whenever a new ban is added to the file. You could write a script to monitor for any changes to the ban list and send a loadBans command to all servers, however.

The hardlinks look like a good solution, I'll stick with them. Cheers!

if you are refering to the heartbeat. it doesnt work like that. it dosent share the banlist across the servers if enabled.

If it is enabled. it will only add in the ban thats happends on server X to server Y,Z.

if you found a bug with it. please report it.

Thanks, now I see how it works.

Are you able to add an option to auto-lock the server when it's full? I get TONS of connection spam on the servers whenever they are full. Flood control is great for when it starts up and 100 people try and get on at once, but doesn't stop the spam once everyone is in.

<3 BEC by the way
