Good evening Ladys and Gentelmen.
I'm Joscha Germerott and the Head of IT from Playerindex aswell as one of its founders.
Paradoxparadoxon or just Paradox and I completly whiped everything we had (ArmA-Banlist, Banfactory)
to bring you a new and way better tool and even better a Web Interface.
Features of the new Website (PlayerIndex.de):
- Updated ID Converter
-> You put a ID into it (GUID, PID, SteamID) and it gives you the converted ID aswell as all infos about Bans with detailed Server info.
- Control Panel or the Web Interface
-> Manage Servers page for you to add your Server, and possibly manage things or even ban players from within the Web Interface (but thats something for the future)
-> Manage Bans page, a function long needed, you as server admin are now able to remove bans you made (e.g. when someone is wrongly banned)
-> Something a little unexpected: A Edit Profile page, yep that does what it means to do.
Features of the new Tool:
Well its like the old one, but with more console, less windows and Linux support via Mono (Can't test it on mac but should work there aswell)
Major differenz to the old tool (besides beeing console based now): You download it once, set it up via configs and thats it, it'll work and work without you even caring.
We even got a auto update ready that downloads whats new and when finished will start the new version and that again without you even caring.
When you configure it and put it into startup the tool will work without any help and run untill you tell it to stop.
For the new people who don't know us or our tool yet:
The tool uploads your bans to our Database to share it with all other conected servers.
Due to this you will receive all bans wich are in out Database from all connected servers.
Yea its a ban sync program to fuck up hackers.
We even have a strong Support and a strong Filtering system:
A handfull of supporters are avaiable for you at nearly all time for technical help aswell as help regarding bans.
But how does our Filtering work you may ask? Let me tell you:
When a new Server wants to be part of the database the admin/admins have to make an account on PlayerIndex.de,
at first everyone who wants to add a server must add a TS, without we would not be able to reach the admins,
next step is to add a ArmA3 server, wich will be send into the verification routine and will be checked by one
of our supporters.
To allready answer the question why I write you this post, instead of Paradox:
He's not the best in english, not that I am but i'm way faster then him :)
Hope you give us a try, we've got much planned for the future and hope you are with us.
