(See the best response by A.T.H.K.)
I am using a Dbzenhosting.com shell; however, I can't ban people. I was wondering if anyone knew the syntax to call the DD ban command in-order to sticky ban someone?

If you think you can figure it out, the command for hosting a game is :
.DreamDaemon [file][dmbname].dmb [port] -safe -trusted&


Cheers.

Add them to the hostban.txt file otherwise build an inbuilt function proc/verb to ban them in game.

I would not rely on the pager system for bans when on Linux hard coding something is way better!

Where do I keep the hostban.txt file? Also, It's not my game. I cannot do that, sadly. I'm not good at Linux coding; however, help would be appreciated.

Depends if you have access to the .byond folder (. means hidden) or the byond folder at all if you do then it would be in

cfg/hostban.txt

Note if you host more than one game the user will be banned from ALL games you host not just the one.

Thanks for that link, I've given myself Admin. However, in game, going to F1>Server>Host cannot be done, any reason why? Also, it stated something about opening dreamdaemon, I've opened it, noting there. Care to explain?

I have never bothered with hostban.txt I always suggest putting a system in as it makes things easier.

I believe if you just edit the txt file you can ban not sure if you need to restart the world or not.

From my experiences with it, you don't have to reboot the world, but you do have to "kick" the player. (Get them to disconnect)

EDIT: Sorry about my last post, it was completely wrong.
