This is the same behavior it always had, as in, kicks = bans, the only difference is that it is permanent, so you don't have to keep kicking the same people over & over again, it is saved to a file and reloaded when they host. See r10465 'Add ability to ban IPs when the host kicks a player. ...' In -games, lots of people complained, so I made the change to a permanent list. I know this only works for static IPs, but, it is better than nothing. Believe it or not, I still use 640x480, since it helps with debugging on small windows :) _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
