Allow list?

[CTM]

Hi again guys, VC-MP is great. Keep up the good work.

 

A while ago I asked if there would be some sort of user account system set up for SA-MP, which I suppose wouldn't be used by many server admins. So instead, would there be any possibility of adding an allow list feature to the SA-MP (and maybe even the VC-MP) server? Similar to the way the ban list works at the moment, but in reverse; only letting the IP addresses on that list connect and disallowing everyone else. I guess that would be useful to many more server admins who are trying to restrict access to their server. If such a feature were to be included, how feasible would it be to edit the list outside of GTA/Rcon? Would there be a way for the server to "recognise" when an IP address had been added or removed from the list manually, and update its own list in memory accordingly?

 

Thanks

I don't see the point of havin an allow list. You already have the option to password ur server, jus give the ppl u want on ur "allow list" the pass..

The problem is that a password is leaked very easily. I know this from experience of running game servers, particularly ones where I've had to change passwords daily to stop unauthorised people from coming in.

Well it can be made into an RCon thing using the callbacks. When someone joins you get a message with the nickname. Extract the nickname, check it against your list, and kick them if its unrecognised.
