checking banlog ingame - suni - 20.05.2015

is there a way to check banlog ingame for zcmd? if yes, idk how to do it.

I believe it's not possible for a non-mysql server to check from inside game the bans.
I know a way about mysql based gamemodes to check bans but it's difficult for beginners.

Do you mean by "banlog" to read from samp.ban? That's not possible as far as I know. Any other, yes - it's possible but it all depends on what you use for saving/loading the ban data.

Re: checking banlog ingame - suni - 20.05.2015

from scriptfile folder

Yes you can using native functions! You can use file and string functions to do this(as you can get file contents as a string easily):

e.g:

pawn Код:

stock LoadBansAsString(string[])
{
     new File: handle = fopen("bans.log"), buf[200];
     if(handle) {
          fread(handle, buf);
          return buf;
     }

     return 0; // bad file(handle couldn't be established)
}

}

Have you even tested your code? Returning both a string (array) and integer which results in error 079.
Also from the wiki (https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Fopen):

This function can't access files outside the 'scriptfiles' folder!

The only way to read from it would be using FileManager plugin I guess.

Re: checking banlog ingame - suni - 20.05.2015

i installed filemanager plugin.
i created a command checkbanlist.(idk if i create it right)

Код:

CMD:checkbanlist(playerid, params[])
{
	if(PlayerAcc[playerid][Admin] >= 3)
 {
 stock LoadBansAsString(string[])
 {
     new File: handle = fopen("banlog"), buf[200];
     if(handle) {
          fread(handle, buf);
          return buf;
     }

     return 0; // bad file(handle couldn't be established)
 }
	}
	return 1;
}

i wanted to load a list of banned players ingame using /checkbanlist

and it would loaded the list of banned players in the banlog by dialog msg box. but idk how.

Re: checking banlog ingame - Banana_Ghost - 20.05.2015

You can create a softlink on Linux and Windows to copy the banfile from the server directory to the scriptfiles folder.

Look up on how to use the command:
ln - Linux
mklink - Windows

Once you do that, you can use fopen, etc to open and parse the banfile.

I didn't test the code, and he said:

so he doesn't need filemanager, I'd advise you to read all the posts before commenting in the future! As for returning both types, I have never encountered that error so I guess it was my fault for that part - I really had no idea such an error existed. I am guessing he has something like "ban.log" so that's why I chose that file name.

Re: checking banlog ingame - suni - 20.05.2015

the banlog is in 3 folders
