ULX Ban Message about ulx

[Nayruden]

How would you suggest fixing being ugly?

Looks really ugly at the current state and it could provide more
information

Should be added:
You are banned from this server!

• Reason: reason or unknown
• Admin: name or console
• You were banned on: osdate
• You will be unbanned in: Never or osdate

Remove the "disconnect:" from the message would help a lot.

Compared with more informations it should look way better.

[Nayruden]

Unfortunately, we can't do that without using a source module (like
GateKeeper, if that's even still around). Any other suggestions for
improving the look and feel?

Information displayed is something we knew people would want to change when
we created this. We are happy with what we currently show for the default.
Not everyone will want to display additional information. We may make it
configurable in the future.

This addon removed it.
Maybe ask the author of it, how they did do it.

That's the connection message -- ULX doesn't show "disconnected" in that
state either. It's only when they are already connected and you are kicking
them that "Disconnected" has to be shown in the way Garry has it setup
currently.

Alternatively, I suppose ULX could work around the engine limitation by
forcing the user to reconnect in order to show the message without the
"disconnect", but that is way too hackish for my tastes.

Maybe leave a few empy lines. So there is more structure.

[deinemudda32]

I dont know honestly.
For the informations about which admin did ban you and when did you get banned etc., you could add a convar like "ulx_showdetailedbans". Just in case.

Maybe you can change the message if you are banned from the server while being on it, to the old message.

[Nayruden]

You like the old message format more than the new one?

I didnt mean that.

I meant if you get the "disconnect" thing, maybe display the old style, because of that.

The hook "CheckPassword" with check "if player is ban" and "return false, msg to sent"

[Nayruden]

Bruno, what are you talking about? ULX is using that hook -- do you know of
a better way?

Change the reason to most details

Not tested:

local banJoinMsg = [[
===========YOU ARE BANNED===========
By: %s
Reason: %s
Ban since: %s
Time Left: %s]]
local function checkBan( steamid64, ip, password, clpassword, name )
    local steamid = util.SteamIDFrom64( steamid64 )
    local banData = ULib.bans[ steamid ]
    if not banData then return end -- Not banned

    local admin = "Console"
    if banData.admin and banData.admin ~= "" then
        admin = banData.admin
    end

    local reason = "(None given)"
    if banData.reason and banData.reason ~= "" then
        reason = banData.reason
    end

    local timeban = "Unknown"
    if banData.time > 0 then
        timeban = os.date("%m/%d/%y %H:%M", timeban.time)
    end

    local unbanStr = nil
    local unban = tonumber( banData.unban )
    if unban and unban > 0 then
        unbanStr = ULib.secondsToStringTime( unban - os.time() )
    end

    if reason or unbanStr then -- Only give this message if we have something useful to display
        Msg(string.format("%s (%s)<%s> was kicked by ULib because they are on the ban list\n", name, steamid, ip))
        return false, banJoinMsg:format( admin, reason, timeban, unbanStr or "(Permaban)" )
    end
end
hook.Add( "CheckPassword", "ULibBanCheck", checkBan, HOOK_LOW )
