I run a server, and in the banning parameters, I want to make it where you get banned for saying a bad word 3 times or something like that. You should know, this is a christian server, and I am tired of manually kicking/banning people.
So here is what goes down.

playing*
playing*
someone types a bad word
the server says "NO >:O"
then read rules, then they say it a second and third time, KICK
they come back and haven't learnt their lessons, and then ban.
possible? yes? no?


also, i've seen on some servers where you join and where you see the text, the server tells you crap, like, welcome to our server, enjoy your stay. and im not talking about hte motd. How does one do that?

Thanks a bunch in advance ;)

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

I don't think there's any auto-kick or censor software for Halo PC, but then again I would not know since I haven't ever monitored a Halo server apart from mine with which I used the manual console. I suppose your best bet would be rcon, so I'd recruit two or so folks willing to admin your server and get rid of pests.

But then again, who is forcing you to make your server 'christian'? Everybody knows gaming and Religion do not mix well.

you dont need to get cocky with me, i know the risks of running a christian clan. The server doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my clan. Which is what is making me make this server christian -_-

Aw, don't you get butthurt. I merely mention the risks of running such server. Anyway, as I said, tell your leader or you do it or whatever and get rcon for a few administrating members.

I'm not strong with Halo PC Dedicated Servers, but in Halo 2 Vista, there's a program that can ban certain words.

He can do what he wants with his server, don't get butthurt over that fact. :)

That's not possible sadly. It'd be good if it was, then I could have anyone who overuses terms along the lines of "snap your disc" and "sit" banned without lifting a finger.

I've never got why Christian servers are more sensitive to swearing though. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with that, merely curious.

Well, go to a mass some time, or go to a church, do you hear anyone say God DAMMIT? or something like that?
that is why, we like to have a nice environment.

Only CE logs anything, and I'm not sure if it was chat rather than just gameplay events.

Either way though, you can't kick/ban for language, sorry.

Again, don't get butthurt. Believe me or not, some people DO NOT use Google. Sorry mate, but Halo is too old a game to be getting that much support as Counter-Strike or otherwise.

[EDIT]
As I said before, twice, use rcon, for it's your best bet. Godspeed.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

You can only use chat logs for Halo Custom Edition, just in case you're using Halo PC. I do not know of any way to auto kick/ban someone for swearing.

Why would I?

You seem to have something against religion and gaming and you feel the need to bring it up when it doesnt relate to you. why it matters to you i have no idea.

Yeah... but I haven't ever heard of an auto-ban for Halo PC, or atleast seen one. Sorry. :\

Sorry it sounds that way. I just say that Religion and gaming never mix well.

It can be done with a modded map being hosted by the server I believe. I'm not entirely sure how to mod it so that the changes will be correctly interpreted by the clients, but I have definitely seen it done, with only flamethrowers or needlers and other strange variants. I believe it was actually on another christian server where I played some of these unusual modded variants.

Go into Multiplayer -> Edit gametypes. You can change vehicles and weapons in the options there.

i would do that, but no one would download the maps, therefore the ammount of people on the maps would take a plunge :(

and also, it is on a server, tcadmin, i cannot change the map variables throughout the game :(
