no those name where to individual names. (CRO)rojeba and another one is rojeba[DE]. well what i wont to understand is how to ban names with non alphabetic characters. i did what angelina said and when i use (CRO)rojeba the ban works. but when i use rojeba[DE] it wont.
on this leet.cfg
a=@4
e=3
i=1!
o=0
o=()
s=$
t=7

do u have to use for example o=[] or another character like j=[], to make this work?

Go here to learn about regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/

"rojeba[de]" didn't work because the square brackets, "[" and "]", are special characters in regex. So are the round brackets, "(" and ")". That's why I escaped them ("\").

The following two expressions will work for the two names.

• \(cro\)rojeba
• rojeba\[de\]

However, using one expression lets you utilize the power of regular expressions.

The following will simply match ANY name with "rojeba" in it:

• rojeba

At any rate, I don't think what you're trying to do is possible with this plugin. It sounds like there is a specific player that you don't want on your server. It is ridiculous to try to keep that player off by name. Impossible. All they have to do is change their name.

I know that every player will change his name. but in my server some guys even i banned them, they always use again their name. that's why i wont to ban by specific name.
anyway i try this metode now, and i found a bug, maybe. when i join on server with restricted name, like (cro)rojeba, the server doesn't ban me but another player on server. how this is possible? i use amxbans v5.0 and i set on console restnames_amxban 1, so i can use with amxbans v5.0. what's wrong?

Thanks Brad.

[erjon]

please Brad help me, because the plugin din't ban the right person, but someone else.

[erjon]

maybe the problem is that i use counter strike non steam. and get_user_authid not work with non steam.
sow seeing the code i was thinking that this maybe will work:

new ip[50]
get_user_ip(id, ip,49, 1)
server_cmd("amx_ban %i %s %s", banLength, ip, banReason)

Is it right?

[erjon]

THanks Brad. the problem was solved.
sow the problem was with ban type.
maybe u have to include not only ban by authid, but and ban by ip. fot those who use non steam

Anyway thanks a lot for this wonderfull plugin.

[Brad]

AMX Mod X doesn't support non-steam and by extension, neither do I.

[Brad]

The * means repeat the previous character 0 or more times. The ? means, make it optional. I think what you meant was .*motherfucker.* The . means any character. So, .* means any character 0 or more times.

I think a better regex for you would simply be: motherfucker

By default it'll look for that word anywhere within the name. Therefore it'd match each of your examples. Granted, the previous regex I gave would as well but this is much simpler.

Firstly, good plugin! Needs proper setting but cool...

But the thing is: Is it possible to change the code so that the plugin will use restrictnames.ini from different location? My goal is to save some time when adding new restricted namem because I have multiple servers on one machine. That means no ftp no mysql or sql needed only to put it to some location and make the plugint to use it from there... Any advice?
