Default IP-based Exemptions.

IP-based exemptions have been in the spotlight on numerous servers where boxing is capped. I have taken the liberty of adding an optional rule_value to the source code to allow you to make IP-specific exemptions for accounts.

What this means is, IP X can only have 3 accounts, but being IP Y has 2 people playing, they can have 6.

The IP exemptions are rather simplistic and only require a few things:
  1. World:EnableIPExemptions must be true.
  2. An entry must be made in ip_exemptions with the IP and exemption amount for the IP.
    • Note: If there is not an entry for the IP in the table it will default to World:MaxClientsPerIP
There isn't really much more to explain; however, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
