Imagine that ^ was a seperator parsed by the master server, and that the second 1 is a bit for BL_ID banning (0 would be IP banning) Like: 7EB8^1^3F34^-1^Bye bye, and hope you stay permabanned! That string sizes to about 50 bytes on ANSI coding, but the hex parts and the numbers would probably be raw hex. --- End quote --- What does this have to do with the master server? |

This is exactly why I don't give random people Admin. Putting a cap on something because it's possible to abuse makes the game seem 'child locked'. The point where customization is cut for idiot proofing is where I draw the line. |
