Summary: Add ban functionality back into admin by keys

Initial Comment:
Kind of stupid but allows /banbyname command in server 
which allows you to specify the number of bits 0 -- the 
exact ip, 8 one *  16 two ** etc..  up to 24.

The numbers just make parameter passing easier, you 
can't specify an arbitrary number of bits. It would be 
nicer if the server spit the actual ip address pattern 
back at the player and made them hit it again to go 
ahead.

Still needs a little work.

rumor has it I got it backwards, so now you can ban using 
any number of bits from 32 (acutal ip) to 1. If you do 
something like ban using 1 bit or something inbetween the 
usual, I'm not sure you can actually unban that pattern yet :)

This works pretty well now. You send /ban name of player 
without quotes or /ban player name/<0,8,16,24> <dur> 
<reason> and it will spit the banning pattern right at you and 
you repeat to confirm it. For example it will says player Fart 
will be banned with pattern 12.123.*.* Repeat command to 
confirm.

Also I put the  right things in the client as well

You are able to match a player name like fart with an input of 
something like fart2 if there is no player by the name of fart2. 
However in the case where fart and fart2 are on at the same 
time it should always pick the right player. Perhaps my logic 
isn't quite perfect somewhere

New just add Player name without quotes .. still not 100 
perfect
so /ban learner

and /ban learner/24 dur a reason here should work

But if you have more than 1 player with the same start to 
their callsign the 1st one gets dumped. Will fix in a few days :)

Hmmm just read your comment I will have to think about it.


/banname duration bits "player name" explanation

is the new format. If you have a one word name you can skip 
the "s

I think this may work actually.

Though I like the ability/idea rather much, it would seem a little 
more reasonable to merge the same ability into the existing /ban 
command.  So you could ban by ip or by name, and optionally 
provide a mask ala ipfw style.  Same goes for kicking. Something 
like:

/ban learner
/ban 128.63.32.123/24
/ban brlcad.org/8
/kick learner/24 
/kick 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255

etc.  The slash could be optional too for simplicity.  Basically, 
player names would get resolved to ip's, other names would be 
gethostbynamed, and the ban or kick would get applied.  (IP 
kicking would kick all matching ip's of course).

Cheers!
