Topic: Server hiding...?!

Hi everybody,
I started my own mod (NX|LVL) some days ago, it's hosted 24/7 on windows. I saw, since this morning that often, someone called Mr.Serious come on one of my servers (I have 12 servers open) and then this server is hide, I mean we can't go in it, even if we type it's IP ! I say that it's because of him because when I have this problem, he is always on spectator, and the IP is the same thing : 185.8.203.103. If this guy is punished, it will really be cool... otherwise, how can I ban an IP when I launch the server ? Can I do it with the autoexec.cfg or need I code it ?
Thanks in advance...

Edit : I say that he comes on ONE of my servers, but often, it's all my servers... 12 servers invisible, like crashed, it's.. disgusting

Edit2 : I added on the code of my server that his IP is banned, but if he has a dynamic IP... I'll need some help about this bug :s

Re: Server hiding...?!

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

Your server goes offline the moment "Mr.Serious" joins ?

Re: Server hiding...?!

Yes, someone called Mr.Serious joins my servers and then my servers are invisible, not offline, there is any connection problem, nothing BUT nobody can see my servers. I just saw that the last message on the server is "Mr.Serious team = -1" on every invisible server...

The first time that my servers were invisible was the morning, I saw him on all my servers, I said myself that's probably a bug or something like that, but that's weird because he is in every invisible servers. Later all my servers are again invisible and he is again in these server, again later 2 servers are invisible, and he is in both -.- I banned him for life in my sources, but as I said, if he can do it, others can do it too and if he has a dynamic IP, it will really be bad

Re: Server hiding...?!

What does invisible mean? No new connections accepted? All connections dropped? Why do you know the server still runs?

Re: Server hiding...?!

It means running but not displayed in master server list. I have this happen occasionally for as long as I've run TW.

Re: Server hiding...?!

heinrich : I know that servers are still running because I am the hoster, I was looking if there is any problem but it looked like no, but there was one : You can't connect (you can't see them on the server lists even if it's in your favorites) to server who are "invisible", even if you type directly the IP. This happened only one day (but many times), and I've banned him the same day, but I never heard anything about this server hiding...

Broken : after I've banned that IP for life, it never happened again. Just look if there is something weird like someone on the server while your server is "invisible" because in my server, there was Mr.Serious ALWAYS in ALL "invisible" servers

I don't know how, even why did he do that, I don't know him (maybe ?) but he takes plaisur to make damages everywhere, how nice.

Please... Some help.. sad These servers were invisible like I said it before, they are not crashed but you can't get access to them (clic on the first link to see servers status.. it's really weird...)

Re: Server hiding...?!

Aktually its pretty simple. Probably there is a bug in your server which causes an endless loop in the main loop so that no other messages will be answered.

Re: Server hiding...?!

Maybe.. I'll need to try all cmds while I'm in spectator.

Can it be something about the firewall ? Can a hacker do something like that ?

Re: Server hiding...?!

Solved, it was a nooblike thing that I already fixed but in the hosting pc, it's not like in my pc -.- If you write /login con con in my home test server, it says that the account doesn't exist and if you try to register it, something I already made, it will say "This account already exists !" (but it doesn't)
Idk why but the /login con con made crash u_u Nevermind, fixed, solved, topic can be off, thanks for your help.

Yes, that's it. These names are already used and that's why you can crash many mods with accounts with these /register CON CON "bug".
