 I have put up information page for each server (AA Game Servers) that is accessable by the PUBLIC, or by members who are logged in. More things can be done with it by members who are logged in and are server admins.
Currently we track battletracker id, mac, ip and name history, and admins can find such info by playing around with it. Also are screenshots, which will store longer than the pbsvss.htm msgpbssv.html links, and have an examination feature on them. Punkbuster kick history is stored. You can see whether a person has punkbuster problems, needs to be watched, or has had a PB hacker kick. There is also a watchlist database for players. Enter any suspicious activity information, comments, and it'll show up to be read.
There are a few things to improve on, as I am not quite finished with it yet. Right now it shows basic database info, but I can probably tweek it to show more condensed things. I haven't tried the ban feature, but I'm sure if it works it only bans and doesn't kick at the moment. I plan on integrating that feature with the forums. Also I know the reset server button doesn't work yet. I have that on my TODO list.
What I am looking for, is suggestions to make it a more useful tool to you and make it easier for you to admin the server. Let me know what works, doesn't work for you, how to make it better. | |

Update: Ban links were not working on the info pages - working now.
Ban page now includes editable ip, mac which contain by default the last connected info. (in case there are ip/mac spoofers and you somehow get the real address) | |

Update: Fixed ban deletions (again). You cannot sync two server banlist and have ban removals/additions both work from the game and still sync correctly. Every ban added was being removed a few mins later in an effort to sync server banlists. Ban additions should still work from F12 and webpage, and Ban removal functionality was added to ban web page (but not fully tested yet). | |

That page is outstanding Shad, don't think i have ever seen more functionality on a page before.
Some may complain that you need to leave the game to use it but small price to pay for the options you have added, i also like the options to add info fro bans and such makes it much simpler to see what is going on and with who. | |

Thanks Axe! Just let me know what you would like to see done with it to make it easier for admins to do their jobs. | |

Added tracking of OS to information. PB screenshots can tell what OS the user is using, which might be useful to us in the future. Maybe to track what comps users are using, or perhaps if somebody excuses blank screenshots "Well, I'm using Linux" (As far as I know Linux takes screenshots fine) and we can tell. Values are "W"=Windows, "L"=Linux, "M"=Mac. | |

Ok heres my question as i use this tool all the time,,, prob 10x a day just checking stuff out. Just want to know if i add someone to the watch list through the aa game servers !!! does that add them to the watch list in the forums ? I have added someone to the watch list and cant seem to find them now because i forgot his name. Is there a way to add a link or something on aa game server so lets say for example renegade adds someone to the watch list. I can click on the link and i would be able to see the name and comments as to why we should keep an eye on them. I mean we couild see the whole list all names / comments that has been added to the watch list. Hope you understand what im saying,,, if not i will catch you on ts and tell ya.
I think that would be a good idea. | |

There is no link between the forums and the Game Servers site. I think I was going to add posting to the JAG forums when bans happen, but haven't gotten around to that yet.
I could add a button somewhere that lists all people with watchlist comments though, if that is what you mean | |

Added 'Banlist' and 'Watchlist' buttons to main server page so that users can see a list of either. You don't have to have somebody in the server and click on a ban button to see bans anymore. | |

Nice,,, HOOAH
I notice the ban list, it says remove bans selected. If we remove a ban from here !!! does that remove the ban from the game as in our f12 ban list ? Also who all can see these options on our website ? Is it just members,, admin,, moderators ? Just wondering.

Yes, you can remove bans via that site. You have to be setup as a game admin, and be logged into the website.
The site is public, but most of the stuff is disabled or enabled for game admins only. The way you can test this, is to log out of 82nd's website, and then go to the gameserver's link. You'll notice a difference as a guest user. For example, ip and mac addresses are not made fully public. | |

Update
Fixed issue where server 3 was NOT restarting via website
Added 'delay' to website restart button of 5 mins to keep people from mashin on it
Added linking 'recent 10' on home page to lookup person. If admin and logged in, you have the additional admin fucntions | |

Update: Added an "OLD AC Bans" search page. If you click on the button, you'll get a search for similar names and matching ips. Banlist is (the most complete) database of AA2 bans going back to 2002 to 2009 from AON, ACI, PsB, PBBANS, CB, AASA and covers to AA 2.8.5.
It's not likely you'll find a matching name, but the matching ip and similar names feature might be useful in research.
Let me know how you want to improve on it. | |

Update: Bans now have a 2 week and 1 month option. Originally not included because the AA server doesn't offer it.
Bans now send a copy of the ban reason to the watch list. If the banned person comes back, we now have notes on previous behavior.
Fixed a glitch in searching for playernames. Searching for an exact match would give you the similar name results and not allow you to go on to name that matched exactly.
Fixed serveral issues with Battletracker ID searches. | |

Server information page now has game statistics for the player organized by mapname | |
