one day we will have a sourcemod plugin running on the servers that ties into the forum user database.

 

  • clan members who join the server will be auto-renamed to the same name as their forum name.
  • anyone wearing HG tags who is not in the database will be auto renamed to whatever their name is without the tag.

 

This is kinda a problem, i like to come in undercover now and again and usally use new names, will this only rename you if you try to put the wrong name on? or will it perma rename you HG | Bort [C]

Since you can't read I'll provide you with most of what happened in this thread. Skip to the bottom with the red text if you don't want to read it all, I made it pretty easy for you.

I was going to do that multi-quote thing but I did it backwards and I'm too stupid to do it right. The giant one that looks fancy is in the ninja tags

I hate to be negative, but that will make everyone unable to go undercover into a server. I understand we can get other accounts, but then we need admin on those other accounts and it also takes considerably more time to swap accounts then it does to just switch your name. =/

 

Can we set this up somehow so we can put it in undercover mode? We were discussing having something that will not force admin skins. Can we make it not force our name?

The clan tag enforcer would only work for people in the clan. I.e. the usergroups defined as recruit, member and veteran.

 

As for undercover worries, perhaps we can make a system, either a check box on the site or a menu/command in game, which would allow an "undercover" mode...actually, we could use the tie-in we already have with the admin system to possibly give this command/forum checkbox to admins only.

Admins only should have the undercover ability :]

 

A LOT of people are "undercover" for no reason. I always join Office server and tell HG members to put on their tag, I get tired of it and it degrades the clanship of HG. If you are not proud to where the tag on our servers, then maybe you don't need to be here. This system has long since been coming. Selected people will have undercover ability IMO admins that watch over the servers.

But you'd have to choose the "undercover" names, couldn't a recruit admin just set his undercover name to HG | (name) [C], pose, and keep his name like this all the time?

 

E.g you could make a massive list of random names with random tags etc. and when you go undercover, it just picks one at random? I wouldn't know how, it might work though, it would stop abuse of tags aswell.

I don't think you know what you are talking about.

 

It will rename to your forums name. -hg- recruits cannot have the name HG |, it will give them their -hg- name..

 

People undercover will have a wildcard I.E. no enforcement, we dont have to specify their undercover name and recruits would not have undercover ability.

It will be flawless, we have already thought most of it out. It will sync forum names ingame. The "undercover" selected people will not be recruits or others that would abuse the system.

 

This system will only make us look better as a well organized clan when people are named as they should ingame.

Well I personally don't like to go by my name is jailbreak because people mangle it so much that most of the time I don't think they are talking to me and get killed. Also, I enjoy the anonymity of an alias, in my experience people are much more likely to do something wrong in the presence of a non-hg member, even if that member was a recruit. I for one am against the idea of having my name set to the same thing, however, I wouldn't mind it if it would just put an -hg- tag in front of whatever I had (ie: -hg- Jacob).

actually i don't believe it would be a problem at all. The server-side scripting engines running on the gameservers are Sourcemod which uses source-pawn, a derivative of C++, and/or Eventscripts which uses the Python language. Both languages include libraries for full MySQL database interoperability, and in-fact there are several scripts currently running on our servers that already interact with databases (e.g. SourceBans and GlobalBan before it / Tlist 2 / HLStatsX)

 

Now in terms of security, when I say the clan tag enforcer script would tie into the user database on the HG forums website, it would not actually be direct access. Because many more individuals may have access to a gameserver FTP than the website FTP, it would be risky to include the full login information to the user database on the gameservers -- compilation notwithstanding. It's likely that we would host a separate, intermediary database that the servers can interact with directly, and use a CRON job running nightly on the webserver box to update that database with any changes that may have occurred each day in the real user database.

 

So would this program also take off other clan tags? Bc I have a tag on from a very small gmod clan. I 'm friends with the owner and I don't really wanna take the tag off.

Oh, kk. Btw just wanted to ask, is it fine that I go on other clans servers and tell them to join HG. I already got banned from intoxgaming for doing that.

 

Well obviously dont go in and start spamming JOIN HG!!! Especially if the server has a rule against recruiting, it just makes us look bad. And WTF this is not on topic AT ALL

what i am thinking Billy, as a wearer of the HG tag, you represent HG by your actions. if you go over to some other clan, with your tag on, and/or just recruit random people from it, or spam one of our server's IPs, then that makes people think HG is either,

1. desperate for members,

2. inconsiderate of other clan servers and their boundaries and rules.

 

While i am no one to say this, i personally think you shouldnt do this anymore, as it can jeopardize the relationships that we have with other clans, and will repel people from this clan, instead of attract.

He speaks the truth. Doing that makes you and us look like idiots.
