How To Deal With LUA Scripting Name Changers

[Penis シ]

Ran into a problem today. LUA hack that disabled or spammed so hard it ruined "status" in the console. As much as I didn't want to, I warned the players to come right back and ran kick@all, at the point in time, it was the only way to get the hacker out of the server without banning the wrong people. I did that, ran through the "ban disconnected player" list and found him, then got the hacker that way, as I was not in the room when the player joined.

Would LOVE to know a simpler way than this since the profile pictures aren't working half of the time anymore.

Typically I run status;status in console and the list is up and I compare, problem was, it was disabled from this player's method.

Scrolling up the status window should of stopped it from auto scrolling....

There is no easier way.

You missed what I said, it didn't come up.

It bugs for me at times.

I've found lately that status isn't working. I have to use sb_status and it comes up. I don't know why it does that.

I'm curious how you were able to narrow down to the LUA hacker on the ban disconnected player list.

I feel the need to remind people to read this thread. I am really getting tired of having to stop my fun times on another game just to ban someone that THREE other admins can't ban.

Not to flame you but thats part of being a ULA... Stepping in to lead when needed. You're a senior admin for a reason.
I dont mean this to take responsibility off of any admins. If your admin you should be trying to learn how to be a better one all the time. I'm new at it but I am trying to learn all the time. Rosie helps me out quite a bit. Just my two cents.
