Inactive [ADMN/INFO] MineBans v0.8 - A Fair Global Banning System [1.2.5-R4.0]

Well, if you are using php you can print a list of banned players like this

Code:

$data = file_get_contents('http://minebans.com/feed/server_bans.json?api_key=' . $api_key);
 
foreach (json_decode($data, true) as $ban){
    echo '<p>', $ban['player_name'], '</p>';
}

If you wait a few days I will be release a helper class script that will make it a it easier.

 

Ok i will wait

 

Yesssss I have been waiting!!! Awesome!!!
Just a few suggestions, maybe some compatibility to other block logging plugins besides logblock and hawkeye because I did switch over to LogBlock because of this but I originally used SWatchDog so please add some compatibility for that.

 

Thanks

I will look into adding support for that pluign, but it looks like there is no API so it might not be possible.

Version 0.7.1

• Added a workaround for a Bukkit issue, you should not get the "you cannot ban a player that has never connected to the server" for players that have connected any more. As far as I can tell this is a Bukkit issue anyway, I filed a bug report if there is another cause I'd love to know
• Fixed an NPE in the /minebans listtemp command, any expired bans will now be removed before the command is processed.

Very minor update but both of these were pretty irritating bugs

Version 0.7.2

• Re-fixed that infinite recursion bug (technically not recursion)

Either update now, or don't use /mbans lt

Hi!

I hope you're okay with this but I just released a tool for mass-checking users ban status and included minebans.com, let me know if there are any issues and I can remove your site. The way it works is quite simple: every entered user fires a request off to your website (minebans.com) to check for a ban.

Thanks

 

As long as it doesn't scape usenames that are banned that is completely fine I will be providing a nice API to do this at some point properly at some point anyway.

 

Wonderful, please let me know once you have an API up!

----

To clarify how it works; when a user inputs "citricsquid" it sends a request to http://minebans.com/view_player.html?player_name=citricsquid and then parses the response.

 

Will do

Well you will be able to use something like player_info.json in the same way you can atm for a server so it should make life a bit simpler.

 

Curious about how many servers of the 15 registered servers are active and how their number of API requests varies. I can answer that with an SQL query ! Hooray ! (hope I didn't break some kind of data protection law by posting this)

Lost Islands 11114
SomethingCraft 5461
Embarker Guilds 4170
SDpyros World 910
Playcraft 895
WTG Survival 181

 

have you added swatchdog to the logblock alternatives? plz do

 

They don't have any kinda of API that I can use. It will take a bit of time. On my todo list with about 8 other things

 

good luck then. does that api thing has somthing to do with this error:

Code:

06:28 PM [SEVERE] [MineBans v0.7.2]: Unable to contact the API. Response: E02 - Invalid API key.
06:28 PM [INFO] [MineBans] Failed to fetch info for 'kaydenhunter'.
06:28 PM [INFO] [MineBans] Server Response: E02 - Invalid API key.
06:28 PM [SEVERE] Could not pass event PlayerPreLoginEvent to MineBans

 

Nope, that means your API key is wrong in the config file.

fondelaar Looks like it will be pretty impossible to add support for SWatchdog. Sorry It provides no way for other plugins to get hold of the data.

ok... could you make logblock optional? i cant get sql to work so....

 

It's already optional. But highly recommended

 

ok lol
im working on sql right now, and im starting to use the plugin now. i banned 2 people with it, but i cant find them on minebans.com under bans. how do get them on the site/database?

 

Only global bans are uploaded to the website.

 

Exactly, if you locally banned or temp banned them the data is only stored on your server. To global ban you have to specify a reason in the ban command.

 

However it would be cool if all the bans were uploaded to the website

 

Maybe, the idea is that pretty much every ban should be global. For the sake of being nice in terms of privacy, the ones that do not fall under the ban reasons are none of my business

 

Or at least have local ban reasons

 

Okay, i'll have a go at that for the next update.

 

I like how people use those emoticons.

 

Version 0.8

• Plugins using the API can now tell why a player was prevented from connecting
• Made the workaround for the player.dat files not being saved case-insensitive
• Improved the spam evidence collector
• Removed some debugging stuff
• Fixed players not being unbanned after appealing a ban
• Moved some files to more sensible places
• The join checks are now event based.
• Added a default kick message in case plugins don't specify one
• Only call the login event if the API has replied.
• Plugin developers can now tell if a player passed all checks or the API didn't reply in time
• Locally banned players are no longer allowed to connect if the API is down
• Increased the timeout for the join check since we now only make one API request
• The correct permission is now required for the listtemp command
• Fixed a ConcurrentModificationException in the listtemp command.

Local ban reasons will come with 0.9 (which will probably be 1.0 )

Most interesting change for developers is that you can now add your own join checks that use the data from the API details can be found at the very bottom of the API docs page on the github wiki.

In other news, the 40,000th API request was processed today

 

Version 0.8.1

• v0.8.1 Fixed players not being unbanned correctly after appealing.

Not an urgent fix, they will still be allowed to connect after appealing. Update when you get chance

 

Hey, I forgot my password. Is there a way I could reset it? ._.

 

Not at the moment. I overlooked basic account features in favour of getting the plugin ready. If you email support@ from the email address you registered with I will generate you a random one ? Or wait until tomorrow afternoon and I will do the basic account settings and login stuff by them. The download page does not require login and there is not much else on the main site so I guess you can wait a bit ? It will have to be at least tomorrow morning since I'm going to bed now

 

I've sent an email with the account I thought I signed up with. I need to sign in now because my server IP is changed and I get a huge error whenever someone signs in. ._.

EDIT: I remember my password, but I need you to take off my previous IP whitelist (because of the VPS issue). Thanks
