[Tut] How to IP/address(host) ban via Server.java

[NoM]

My first tutorial, do not flame if it is bad.

Difficulty: 1/10
Description:
How to IP / address ban using Server.java

Files to be edited: server.java

Open server.java

Search

String connectingHost = s.getInetAddress().getHostName();

Under that, you should see:

                if(clientListener != null) {

Then under that, you probably see something like:

                   if (connectingHost.startsWith("some.host.address.here") || connectingHost.startsWith("some.ip.address.here") ]

After that if ( add:

connectingHost.startsWith("ip/address") ||

Replace ip/address with a user's IP or host address.

You can find this by going to /your_servers_directory/characters/ then opening the user's .txt file.

Search or scroll until you find:

character-lastconnection =

After that will be their host.

Please rate this tutorial on a scale of [bad]1-5[good]
I worked as hard as I could.

Give feedback, and leave questions.

Nice tutorial .

But I don't think this is really needed, 'cause you see, we could do bans by in game by typing the ::players and ::ipban , or by going into the ban logs and add in them ?

By doing this is just like going one big round to reach your destination .

i got a problem

public void run() {
// setup the listener
try {
shutdownClientHandler = false;
clientListener = new java.net.ServerSocket(serverlistenerPort, 1, null);
misc.println("Starting AquaScape Server on "+clientListener.().getHostAddress()+":" + clientListener.getLocalPort());
while(true) {
java.net.Socket s = clientListener.accept();
s.setTcpNoDelay(true);
String connectingHost = s.getInetAddress().getHostName();
if(clientListener != null) {
if (connectingHost.startsWith("5.125.54.36") || connectingHost.startsWith("5.125.54.36")) {
misc.println(connectingHost+": Checking if server still is online...");
}
/*if(!banned(connectingHost))
{
misc.println("ClientHandler: Accepted from "+connectingHost+":"+s.getPort());
