3. The SBN Admin can Ban or Un-Ban a Player only if have Ban Rights.
4. The SBN Admin is not a Server Admin and does not have any Server
Admin rights.
5. The SBN Admin is always an admin and does not need to login etc.
6. The SBN Admin uses SBNID as his/her login Key.
--------------INFO--------------
If a player user.ini has an empty name "Name="
SBN kicks the player with a window in which text that can be changed in
"NoNameLine"
An administrator can get information about a player in the SBN.ini file in the
local System folder by double-clicking the player name in the SBN window.
For manual ban/kick (when it is
impossible to catch a player online) it is possible to use the server log. Open
the log and find the player data there, example:
SmartBan: PlayerFirstLogin - Name = Jedrex
| SBNID = 2024111523835597 | PCName = DESKTOP8UA49DM
| IP = 81.30.129.62 | ACE = True | Time = 23.12.12
SmartBan: UpdatePlayerHWID
- Name = Jedrex | HWID =
E992897ED72EDDDE4C5969C06353400E | Time = 23.12.17
If use the bCheckACE=True
option, it means that SBN will check the ACE installation on the client and
kick the player if he closes the ACE installation window and decides to
continue playing. Also this means that players with Linux (without use WINE)
and MAC will always be kicked from the server, since ACE does not support these
OS.
Color players in
window:
Green – admins;
Black – regular players;
Red – banned players;
Purple – spectators;
Blue – muted players.
