Private Players v0.30

[CSN NewsBot]

The newest version of Private Players has been released today. For those who don't know, Private Players is a server plug-in which allows server admins to decide which players can play on their CS server by simply entering the WonID of the players into a MySQL database. Version 0.30 now allows admins to specify who can connect to their servers, give priority to these registered players, or specify how many known players must be connected to accept unregistered ones. Yay! Click here for more information.[break="Private Players v0.30"]v0.30 ChangeLog :

Isn't this basically an advanced password for a server? :|

Yes, but, eventually other people are going to know the password to the server, and you might not want those people coming into the server.

Yeah, I hate it when a clanmate joins our server in the middle of a match. We have to either kick him or ban him if he keeps doing it because it could technically be used to cheat (spectators phoning another clanmate). I might use it at some point, but having to get all the wonids is kind of a pain. Plus if a clan wants to make a subsitution at the last moment it can be difficult. Neat little plugin though.

Uhm if you have clanmates that are that problematic and childish, Disk2, I'd kick them out.



I don't really see much of a point to this... couldn't you just password the server?

They just don't realize a match is going on, and as soon as the other clan sees "xxxxxx has connected" they say "wtf get him off the server". And yeah you could just password the server, although the plugin seems to be growing beyond the original purpose of only allowing certain players on. It seems like too much trouble to use this plugin when, like you said, you can just password the server. Eh...

[Minus Kid]

We have been looking for a plug in like this. Our server is regularly full and Clanmemebers can't get on. So this is ideal. We password our server for matches. So this will help when server is in public mode

Wow I never thought of that lol. Imagine doing that over HLTV (for example on CAL-i matches!)



I dont know how CAL-i works so I wouldnt really know :-/

[StormFury]

Cal-i HLTV is delayed a couple minutes from the actual match to avoid such douche baggery.
