How to kick players out of the game

[Sook]

Here are the code modifications you'll need to be able to logout annoying players:

file common. php:

after

Code:

        if (!$session['user']['loggedin'] || (0 && (date("U") - strtotime($session['user']['laston'])) > getsetting("LOGINTIMEOUT",900)) ){
...
        }

add

Code:

        if ($session['user']['kicked'] =="1" ){
        $session['user']['kicked'] = 0;
        debuglog("[i](log for being kicked)[/i]");
        $sql = "UPDATE accounts SET kicked=0, loggedin=0 WHERE acctid = ".$session['user']['acctid'];
        db_query($sql) or die(sql_error($sql));
        $session=array();
            redirect("index.php?op=kicked","[i](log message)[/i]");
        }

file index.php:

before

Code:

if ($session[message]>"") output("`b`\$$session[message]`b`n");

add

Code:

    if ($_GET['op']=="kicked"){
        $session['message'].=" [i](message to the kicked player)[/i] ";
        if (!isset($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'])){
            $session['message'].=" [i](message for having cookies disabled)[/i] ";
        }
    }

file login.php:

after

Code:

$session['sentnotice']=0;

add

Code:

$session['user']['kicked']=0;

(just in case the player you kicked was already gone offline)

file user.php:

search for

Code:

output("<input type='submit' class='button' name='newday'
(...)

(this is the edit user buttons block)
and add

Code:

output("<input type='submit' class='button' name='kick' value='Force Logout'>",true);

then search for

Code:

}elseif ($_GET[op]=="special"){

and add in that block

Code:

    }elseif($_POST[kick]!=""){
        $sql = "UPDATE accounts SET kicked='1' WHERE acctid='$_GET[userid]'";
        debuglog("`0has kicked ",$_GET['userid']);
    }

Obviously, you'll need the field "kicked" in accounts table (I used an int(1) not null default="0")

Would this module have done the same job?

[Talisman]

I usually find a ban is just as effective....and already part of the code...

the module ye linked to is for version 1.x.x.

modules do not work in .9.7.

I usually find a ban is just as effective....

The problem is that a ban becomes effective only when a player logs out (and a kick is pratically useless if no ban is assigned, the login wouldn't be blocked and the player kicked out could come back online within seconds).
Until the moment of his disconnection, that player is free to do whatever he wants online.
So there is (there was) still the need to throw him out immediately after setting the ban...

really? i am only familiar with the ban function in version 1.x.x. which kicks the player immediately.  once the ban is placed on their character, as soon as they select a link which refreshes or changes the page they are currently on, they are kicked. or if they time out due to inactivity  they will find they can no longer log in.

I just tested on 1.06 , 11.0 and 1.1.1 RC and a ban does not immediately kick a player off.

In each case I was able to post comments, then go to the forest, then return to degolburg and post again.
 
In each case I went to the user editor and entered the player's name and then clicked the ban button. Each time I banned by ID.

As far as I know, true.

I am a bad guy and if I want to have it then I simply force the player to logout... the hard way.

Code:

UPDATE accounts SET loggedin=0 WHERE login='badguy';

Worked everytime.

[Sook]

Even easier and faster than my way (you don't even need a field in the table)... but I'll keep it in two passages to log the times, which could be useful when you want to expose some suspected macro users.

You're right Nightborn, but only if you have access to DB. We have admins that don't have direct access to PHPMyAdmin, so the command kick is really usefull if you have an annoying player posting silliness in chat areas.

I do not see the kick ability as useful.
I find that 'locking' a player works just fine;
on my 097, all locked players cannot use mail, make petitions or make commentary entries, pvp, transfer gold or sell gems. They can still play but cannot interact with any players. Once I lock them, they cannot disrupt the game or other players in any manner.

Hello together,

I arranged myself before some time a function to eject over the players and to it also in addition made possible a map reference. (see below)


Code:

Code:

<?php
/**
 * PHP version 4 and 5
 * (C) 2007 Kevin Gödecker [Kevz]
 */

/**
 * Eine Funktion zum "Kicken" (hinauswerfen) von Spielern
 *
 * @param integer $usrID User-Acctid
 * @param integer $loc   Location
 *
 * @return result
 */
function usrKick ( $usrID, $loc = false )
{
  global $session;


  // Schutz vor selbst kick vom Server
  if ( ($usrID == $session['user']['acctid']) )
    return false;
  else {
    // Spieler-ID muss eine gültige Nummer enthalten
    if ( ($usrID > 0) )
    {
      // Spieler kicken
      $sql = 'UPDATE `accounts` SET
                `loggedin` = 0, `location` = %s WHERE `acctid` = %s';
      db_query($sql, (int)$usrID, (int)$loc) or die(db_error($sql));
    }

    // Erfolgreich gekickt?!
    if ( db_affected_rows() )
      return true;
    else
      return false;
  }

  // Ergebnisrückgabe
  return false;
}
