[hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location
Its that time again where I request the option to customise the location where bans are stored. Every other part of a hlds server can be configured except this, please please add it. If you want to be really nice and make admins life much easier add an option to root the servers config directory so the server will look in a specified directory for all config related files before it goes to /cfg. For more info on both these see my posts in the archive titled:- 1. A quick fix to make Source infinitely more GSP friendly ( posted 27 February 2008 21:42 ) 2. banlists still broken + config system enhancement request ( posted 25 October 2007 01:47 ) 3. CSS Hardcoded banlist path ( 17 October 2005 14:58 ) Alfred has responded to at least one of these but we still to date haven't had a fix. I really should be a simple one and would be most appreciated so I hope it can get added.

Re: [hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location
I agree that a user-set config directory would be nice...running multiple servers off the same installation would be much easier in that regard, and most other games already support a base config directory.

Re: [hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location
I know its a huge pain in the ass but I run a new directory for every server and I can say it has saved me more then one time. It does take a long time to make changes to the servers but I like the simplicity of it. I'm not opposed to the system you are proposing but it should have an on and off switch or of the sorts.

Re: [hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location
I hate posts getting side tracked on this list :| It's a very nice feature request. If a 'config directory' was specified, eg: Srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -configdir server2/ Then instead of srcds accessing /cstrike/addons/load plugins it could check /cstrike/server2/addons/load plugins as well as /cstrike/server2/cfg/server.cfg etc. I think such an option would be really helpful to allow different plugins to be loaded from the same game installed per server. - Andrew -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Munra Sent: Saturday, 17 May 2008 11:07 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location I think it you should be worried more about the 100 other bugs instead of your ban.cfg Use amx bans or source bans or some other sql base system. - Original Message - From: Steven Hartland [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 8:22 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Please add the option customize bans file save location No of course not the 1500 servers on the machines here are just a figment of my imagination :P Making a batch file is stupid as it cant solve the problem if you think it can please go right ahead and try to create it but I warn you now you will be wasting your time. - Original Message - From: JDoc0512 [EMAIL PROTECTED] hey Steve you don't even run multiplay game servers :) and making a batch file is not stupid :) This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Parva? I didn't know my name had suddenly changed, wish people would tell me when that happened :P but enough of totally off topic If you read the original mail, so your actually talking about the right thing, it might help. I'm talking about the fact that server1 and server2, run from the same install, will merrily overwrite each others ban files. Batch files don't help, symlinks don't help, the only way to fix this to add a config option to the engine so we can define where they are written to.
