Hardware bans

Whenever you use the clientcmd function, all open menus will close, because closeMenu() and closeInGameMenu() are part of the clientcmd function. This is one of the drawbacks with the function.

In this case the admins should decide whether they prefer to kick banned players as soon as they join the server or on SpawnPlayer only.

You could move it to onJoinedTeam(), the MOTD menu will have been closed by the player at that point.

Possible to show the value of mod_status with an iprint?

[guiismiti]

I think so. You would need some code similar to the login system.

If you want to simply know its value at a certain point, I recommend that you replace seta mod_status disconnect with seta mod_status say testvalue. Should be more simple.

I just want to make it that it checks the value when you spawn. If the value is "disconnect", show the message "You are banned", wait 3 seconds and kick you. If its another value than "disconnect" dont do anything

Try to add

		self.pers["banstatus"] = "banned"; 
	

Right before the line that writes config.cfg and disconnects the banned player.
Then, in checkForBanned() test self.pers["banstatus"] value.

I tried it and it didn't work, I'm probably missing something. I'm creating a different response right now.

[Ni3ls]

Yeah it doesnt save the self.pers["banstatus"], unless u use openfile and print it in a file on the ftp

[guiismiti]

Instead of using iprint you can open a popmenu

[Ni3ls]

Any ideas how? I just want to let the player know he has a ban and then disconnects him

		self setClientCvar("com_errorTitle", "BANNED");
self setClientCvar("com_errorMessage", "You have been disconnected, because you are banned");
wait(1);
self thread execClientCommand("disconnect");
