max connection per ip limit?

Post by dango »

sometimes people add in 10 clients on the same ip and that gets annoying, i have an idea for a max connections limit set my /set _maxConnLimit # and to allow more connections /set _allowMoreConn <ip>

just an idea

What happens when a bunch of bored kids try to log on from a school, and you have this limit set. There are going to be some very mad kids...

why would more than one client per ip matter? if someone has a good enough connection 10 players would be perfectly fine....

some times there is no admin on a server.


also at my school...dunno if all do.....but there is a firewall set so that the only server's you can find are the local ones.

with gigantic list of servers.... They can very easily find another server to play on....
Beware! I'm going to clone myself and spread those clones all over the world!

I would advice to limit it to 3 or 2.
There are very much home networks with DSL connection.
And if there is a BZFlag party, they choose one server, they like. And if only 1 of 3 is able to play, the fun is away.
You just have to disable bots on your server.

if someone is having a bzflag party the funnest thin to do is staryt a private server to play. that way u can talk smack to the people u know and not get killed by expert's
