Thanks for the feedback once again, I'm currently working expanding the system so you can "follow" other people, this way it will allow you to only see the bans of the people you are "following". See what I can come up with.

Thanks for the input guys, this is the sort of feedback we need. It is just a proof concept, there is no guarantee if it will work. And how it will work. You're right Gnat and others, this system can be abused badly if they want. We'll have to figure something out to prevent that from happening. If we're not able to figure something out to prevent asshatery by evil admins, this project will be a dead end.

Thanks for the input Kristian, I'll make to add that option so the public can request an unban! Thanks! NodUnit, I don't exactly see what you mean :)

Hello there lads and gents, My name is Hoteldebotel from worldbrotherhood.net We our selves have got a server for ArmA II OA since the day it got released, and since that day, we have struggled with people hacking and cheating. To make our lives all a bit more easier, we have gotten up with the idea to have one massive database located on the web, where it holds all of the people that other servers have banned. We call it: "The Central ArmA II Ban Database" So when we for example ban mister X, with the reason of hacking. We simply go to the website, and fill in all of the information of the guy we just banned. User X will now be added to the database with all of his information, and will be outputted on a list together with everyone else who is banned. This way, a server admin can hop on the website once in a while, log-in to the site, and view the recently added bans. Now he can see in the list, for example 200 people who have been hacking. This admin can now copy / paste the information given out by the other admins, and ban him also. This way, only one server will have to deal with the hacker. Once the user has been added to the database, the other servers will adapt the ban. Now he will not be able to play on all of the servers making use of our database. I have already started programming this database, and I must say; It's really coming together really nicely. At this stage it features: - Secure log-in page / system - List of banned users with information such as: (Username, GUID, Player ID, Banned by, Date banned, Additional Comments) - Ban Appeal page - Search User page - Secure MySQL Queries - Fool proof - Great usability + design - Each game admin will get his own account The website is still in development, so it is not live yet. Anyone who would like to make use of our website, must be a server admin, and must be able to prove so. The =WB= Roots will personally check if the users that are given the password and username to, are indeed server admins. Here are some screenshots of its current state *WIP* : If you guys have any suggestions, tips, or whatever, please tell us here! We would also like to know what you think about this concept! *UPDATE 1:* I am now working on a friends system. Now you can manage your "friends", your friends will be other users of this system. You will only be able to see the bans from your friends.

I'm jizzing my pants 4 times a minute with this mod! Great job!

I did everything as i should, but i keep getting: "including file userconfig\ace\ace_clientside_config.hpp not found" Any help? Thanks in advance, Hoteldebotel

I think alot of people want to know this. I would like to know it too. If someone has much time on his hands, someone might be able to make some sort of tutorial.

Thanks for the help guys ( someone did send me the file :D ). Only i've found out to my terrible discovery, that i'm missing around 20 files. Which counts about 1.5GB. So I gues im going to try to get the files from my friend. Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if everything worked. (About the "return the game" part.. Thats the problem, that game shop is 50km away from me, so i'm not going to go there, and find out they wont give me a new copy. )

Hello there fellow ArmA2 lovers! As you might have guessed on my title, when i'm installing ArmA2, during the installation it gives me as error, that "Animals2.pbo" is damaged or something. When i acces the file on my CD, and try to move it somewhere, it also gives me an error that it can't read the data from the one file. This makes me 99% sure that this is the problem, "Animals2.pbo". I also think i've found the problem that causes it: I had a malfunctioning DVD/CD reader thing, that made scratches on my disk. So it made some scratches on my ArmA2 disk, I've got a new reader thing, and everything works fine. But that 1 file has been damaged by my old reader. So i've came here, to as some of the nicest guys on this forum, if they would like to share their file with me. So i can replace it, and i can play ArmA2 AGAIN. ( I did play it before, but i reinstalled windows so i lost everything ). The file is located in: CD/DVD Drive ( your DVD ) --> ARMA2 --> Addons --> Animals2.pbo <-- If someone could upload this file to a website, or put it in a forum download thing, I would HIGHLY appreciate that, and i would totaly send you a cake ( or cookies ). This is the only thing that's holding me back playing ArmA2! Thanks in advance, Lucas
