DFBHD only ban log file:

[Hellfighter]

a first i seen this in any of the game love it, the ban log file:
Open the file up " banlist.txt in it you read:
(this is the copy of whats in it)
//---------------------------------------------------
// NovaLogic Ban List File
//---------------------------------------------------

// This file contains a list of PCID's (Public Customer ID's)
// that you, as a game server host, chose to exclude from
// joining your game server.
//
// This file loads into memory when the game is run, and
// is modified by the game server when people are BANNED or UNBANNED using
// the BAN and UNBAN commands on the ~ command line in the game.
//
// Do not modify this file while the game is running!
//
// You must run your server as a NOVAWORLD server with the REQUIRES NOVAWORLD LOGIN
// feature turned on for this ban list to operate.


VERSION 1


// Usage: BAN "<pcid goes here>" "<optional player name>"
//
// Example:
// BAN "A-MM-WXXIB2" "Knightmare"
// BAN "A-WC-WXXIAD"
==============================
it keep track of the PCID: number that a player use not only their names and IP# but their account number toboot they can change their name, can't change their PCID: Number. when a person host DFBHD they can ban a player and they be added to the list on top of that their acct info is added to the list with their name but only works if you have the option for them to log into Nova first.

thats the novaworld account number of the player if he get banned he no more, and any host of their own games can add-in the player's PCID to their own ban list as they like to or remove it.

PCID account most case has only 1-4 players slot to use, so if you ban his PCID number you ban all 1-4 names he/she use for that account.

PCID give you a tighter control of players in your server, no longer go by ISP numbers were they may change or names were they may change the PCID number will never change

[.enfo.]

so its kind of like a keyhash ?.
Mstenger, you could pay a company if you needed to host a server , but there is alot of great severs out thre anyway

[Hellfighter]

will i know you can get servers real cheap to buy and they are really good ones that company's fade out, some i seen like only 6mo old. i know one company at lease they given away or trash their old servers like ever 6mo-10mo old servers, reason got to be update today new standers

i had a chance to get a big server (freebie) but i said no reason had no use for it at the time and really did not know how to set one up.

if they ask me again I'll take them up on it.

what can i say i goofup on that one
