VERSION 3.1 Updated (30/Mar/2015)
No need to use the one below (unless you really need to), just visit the above link!

۞ HISTORY

It's been over 3 years since I released any Script. But, now I am giving you the Version 2.0 (Updated to 2.1 on 12/31/2012) of the Legen ... wait for it ... dary Geo-IP Script. Earlier version was a simple filterscript that worked on the file handling method. But this one is better and uses SQLite Database instead of plan old file handling way.

NOTE : Read the Change Log below to know about the changes made in recent versions of the script.

۞ DESCRIPTION

The GEO-IP Script helps to provide the Geographical Location of a any player according to his/her Public IP Address. But, do not expect too much accurate results. The results will be somewhere near to the exact location. Using this script is very easy and does not needs much experience of scripting.

۞ SUB VERSIONS

FULL

• Gives Country, State and City Location.
• Uses a BIG Database (114MB)
• Might lag on slow/personal servers (like 1 sec lag when someone joins)

LITE

• Gives Country Location only.
• Uses a Small Database (2.82MB)
• Comparatively much faster

۞ USAGE

FULL

1. Remove any old version(s) of GEO-IP / GEO-IP Lite or there are chances that newer version will show some glitches.
2. Extract the contents of the archive into your SAMP Server directory OR Manually place all the files from the archives to the respective folders in the SAMP server directory.
3. Now open your filterscript and add
   Код:

   #include <geo_ip>

   just below #include <a_samp>
   
4. Now you can use the function anywhere like this
   
   Код:

   new Country[16], State[128], City[128];
   isLocal=GetPlayerLocation(playerid,Country,State,City);

   OR
   
   Код:

   new Country[16], State[128], City[128];
   isLocal=GetPlayerLocation(playerid,Country,State,City,1);

   The third parameter is optional. It is isotype parameter. You will find more info about it below, in the FUNCTIONS section.
   

LITE

• 1st step same as above.
• Now open your filterscript and add
  Код:

  #include <geo_ip_lite>

  just below #include <a_samp>
  
• Now you can use the function anywhere like this
  
  Код:

  new Country[16];
  isLocal=GetPlayerLocation(playerid,Country);

  OR
  
  Код:

  new Country[16];
  isLocal=GetPlayerLocation(playerid,Country,1);

  The third parameter is optional. It is isotype parameter. You will find more info about it below, in the FUNCTIONS section.

No, I just used the free one, and made some little alterations and conversions to it.

And, Thanks for appreciation.

[Konstantinos]

I used the filterscript you had on the package with this OnPlayerConnect

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    new isLocal;
    new Country[16];
    isLocal=GetPlayerLocation(playerid,Country);
    new message[256];
    if(!isLocal)
    {
        format(message,sizeof(message),">>GEO-IP<< %s from Localhost has joined the server.",GetPName(playerid));
        printf(message);
    }
    else
    {
        format(message,sizeof(message),">>GEO-IP<< %s from %s has joined the server.",GetPName(playerid),Country);
        printf(message);
    }
    SendClientMessageToAll(COLOR_JOIN,message);
    return 1;
}

But everytime, it says this

Nice job man!

[vMapper]

Can you post a Pastebin link, since I am in my iPad? Thanks again in advance

[IstuntmanI]

Awesome. <3

Can you make GetPlayerCountryCode ? Like "uk", "usa", "ro", "ru", "pl", "de" ... ?

[AndreT]

I'd still like to point out that plugin implementations using the MaxMind GeoIP API are a lot faster than any PAWN scripts reading the data from a SQL database for example.

Although it has been like 4 years since the original plugin was released and 2 years since Remis updated it, the API has not been through a lot of changes from version 1.4.6 to 1.4.8. So the version I linked to is still worth using!

@costel_nistor96: the plugin I mentioned supports country codes - both 2 or 3 characters

FIXED in 2.1. Sorry, my bad. It was because of the wrong name of database. Read the Change Log in the first page.

What are you going to do with a pastebin link, when you still have to download the whole database ....

It already gives that by default. Output is like this. (EDIT: Released Version 2.1 : Now you can get output for the "Country[]" string, like - IN, IND, or INDIA - 2 letter, 3 letter, and full country name). This can be achieved by using the optional parameter isotype. Read the Change Log in the first page for more info.

I agree that plugins can do things pretty faster, but when my old C2D (E4300) can give location without taking not more than 10ms-30ms (I'm talking about FULL version of script that operates on a 114MB DB, not the LITE version) then I don't think the SERVERs are going to have any problems whatsoever regarding the speed of script.

I'm hungarian and it write me
I'm hungarian I'm live in Hajdъbцszцrmйny....

If you are connection to some IP like (192.168.x.x) or something like that, It will show that. You MUST use the public IP of yours to resolve it to a real country name. To get your Public IP visit WhatIsMyIP.com.
If you are already using the Public IP to connect to your server, and still it shows that, then it means that the database record for your public IP Range is incorrect. In that case, you may use SQLite to fix it. (****** about it, if you don't know that, but please don't ask here).

I might add, this is now a script issue.
