Well I want to discuss about hwid ban function for Gunz 1.5
Since it is open source, why still none done something about that for Gunz which could be also puplic. I am pretty sure that few or even a bit more servers has got this. What you guys think about this ?

I mean that banning (blacklisting) players hwid so he can't enter the game with the same computer. (it's something like MAC ID)Quote:

The owner of qualitygunz (shay) already done it , but its really hard to contact him.Quote:

so no point in thinking over hardware ban
What lol? Regardless of the amount of players I had I would still want this function in place for those who break the rules. So yeah if anyone could come up with something that would be great.Quote:

make a function that read operating system and its Product key, Like windows has Product key , Mac has MacID ( dont know much except windows) . So every OS has its own ID for sure. Read the product Key of OS and register to account or current Login Info.
Once you ban that guy, his OS Product key will be black listed. And believe me no guy is so stupid to reinstall Product key every time for game like gunz.
So this is simple and easy method.
Sorry but every kid can change product key of windows. Why you make the job harder ? The function should get the serial and the hardware id of a computer (some hwid's can be same so taking the serial and/or volume size it will make every pc unique) and save it into hwid colunm in account or login db for example, and it will check any dbo.hwidblacklist and compare them with your accounts one.Quote:

i think reading hardware key will help !
Yeah, great idea for all those people out there using pirated copy's and thus are all registered to one product key.Quote:

Even though I have no knowladge about c++ I will try to do something with the source you provided Forean. I also wonder how to read from table..
"Hardware ID" is a vague question. Which hardware?
For example, if you wanted to obtain the MAC address: GetAdaptersAddresses function (Windows)
This link: __cpuid (C++) & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx should be enough.
Edit: Read too quick on the __cpuid page! Gimme a sec to edit it.
If you're up for WMI: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...77(VS.85).aspx & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.85%29.aspx
I can't find much else for it. But you could always just skip the Motherboard/Processor ID.
Quality GunZ hardware ban was via your hard-drives serial number.
I have found this;

#pragma comment(lib, "iphlpapi.lib")
std::string GetMacs (int &nCount)
{
nCount = 0;
std::string Macs;
IP_ADAPTER_INFO AdapterInfo[16];
DWORD dwBufLen = sizeof(AdapterInfo);
DWORD dwStatus = GetAdaptersInfo(AdapterInfo, &dwBufLen);
PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdapterInfo = AdapterInfo;
while (pAdapterInfo)
{
char *szTemp = new char[32];
sprintf (szTemp, "%02X-%02X-%02X-%02X-%02X-%02X | ", pAdapterInfo->Address[0], pAdapterInfo->Address[1], pAdapterInfo->Address[2], pAdapterInfo->Address[3], pAdapterInfo->Address[4], pAdapterInfo->Address[5]);
Macs += szTemp;
delete szTemp;
pAdapterInfo = pAdapterInfo->Next;
nCount++;
}
return Macs;
}
I think it's not complete ?
