Vote Kick Player!

[thepoetwarrior]

Created a system to allow vote kick player off the server for 1 hour.

This is a way of giving dealing with trolls without giving someone 100% power to perma ban or suspend accounts. And its entertaining way of dealing with trolls, cause people love to vote!

Must be $status > 0 to initiate a vote kick on a player, and can't vote against a player with $status > 0 too.

Currently requires 5 player vote within 15 minutes. (Can be edited)

Players get to vote once per 15 min and per toon getting voted to be kicked. This is limited by both IP and character name.

Once a vote is succeeded then the player and ALL accounts linked by IP will get immediately disconnected and suspended for 60 minutes.

The code goes into your global_player.pl so anyone in any zone can vote.

Requires telnet for disconnecting the player, unless there is easier way to remotely disconnect someone. The telnet code is there, so just need to edit the name/pass to reflect the same added to account table.

You can find the few places that require editing by searching for <EDIT HERE> in the code.

There are no plugins required, this code is 100% complete all in one file.

Requires 1 custom table named '_vote_kick' (sql to create this table is provided).

Probably reinvented the wheel on a few things, and stuff could be done more efficiently. So feel free to post suggestions, tweaks, feedback, etc.

Some doucher must have removed it, I had # comands trickle-down into EVENT_SAY given there was no found command.

I'll have to check it out.

Cool, thanks Akkadius, it would be great to get that functionality back. I've been told anything with a # in front of it isn't sent to the chat, is that true? So like #test would not be seen by anyone around me, but I'd get the functionality? I've used it before the code was changed a couple of months ago, I just never paid attention to whether or not others could tell.

[Kingly_Krab]

Okay, so the coders are working on this currently, hopefully it's fixed soon.

[thepoetwarrior]

I guess remove the # in front of the command if your current source won't allow it.

I didn't realize they removed that, our source was last updated in Sept.

[KLS]

Okay! Was asked to look into this and I did.

I use the following test script in my global_player.pl successfully:
sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text =~/^Vote Kick$/i)
{
$client->Message(7, "Syntax: Vote Kick <name>");
}

if ($text =~/^Vote Kick /i)
{
$client->Message(0, "Vote kick: $text");
}

if ($status > 0)
{
if ($text =~/^#Vote Kick$/i)
{
$client->Message(7, "Syntax: #Vote Kick <name> <reason>");
}
if ($text =~/^#Vote Kick /i)
{
$client->Message(0, "Vote kick start: $text");
}
}
return 1;
}

I made a minor change to the source to reverse how the "command not found" message is displayed via return to make it play better between multiple scripts. It doesn't actually do anything if displayed though and you can remove it by returning 1 from the command handler if it's found with latest git master.

[Akkadius]

Thank you KLS for addressing this.

I am working on a Wiki where things like these can be shared in common place.

[thepoetwarrior]

If its just a simple "Command not found" being displayed, then yeah I've gotten that too sometimes when trying to do #reloadquest to test a script. Seems the zone is bugged at that point and a simple reboot fixes it.

Source we're using is from September.

We can still use custom #commands in /say though, just sometimes require server reboot if we make a new command.

[Kingly_Krab]

That doesn't seem to work. I have the following code in my global and I still get the error.
sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/#Test/i)
{
quest::shout("TEST!");
return 1;
}
}

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/#Test/i)
{
quest::shout("TEST!");
}
return 1;
}

Not working for me too, certain zones and #commands seem to get that error message.

For now you can always remove the # in the command, and just make it /say test instead of /say #test

[demonstar55]

Works here, #reloadquest seems to clobber it though

Yes, I noticed that too.

Then after server reboots, and don't use #reloadquest, then it seems to work fine.
