[Include] IpCheck - Adverticement

[Sascha]

Hey guys,
as I've seen a few questions about it on the forum and also got some requests by friends about something like this,
I decided to create a small function that allows you to check any text/string for an included IP.

The include contains a simple "IsIp" function that behaves like a boolean.
Here's an example how to use it:

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    if(IsIp(text))
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x999999AA, "You may not advertice!");
        Kick(playerid);
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}

So if I would enter "182.395.158.21" (or w/e) into the chat and would use my example above, it would send me a message and kick me from the server.

I hope you guys like it!

Nice idea

Prevent from writing in other way?
Es:

182,268,1,2

So writing an ip using commas or different character or making it understandable as this:

Go to 192 168 5 254

P.S. Please post on pastebin, I don't want to download just to see the code

Nope, it doesn't prevent players from writing an IP with , : - or w/e... I'm gonna to add such a feature to it, later.
I'll also upload a pastebin

This is useless. People will always find a way to advertise on your server. Rather than relying on a faulty system, have a good admin team who knows how to operate. It helps to have anti-spam systems and stuff implemented as well; this way they cannot spam their server IP, website, or name before an admin can ban them.

True, but admins have a life too and yeah you can better do all you can against advertising/cheaters/hackers as just leaving it as it ?

Nice script m8

Correct, this function cannot prevent players from adverticing, spamming, etc., however it can help you. It can be used as a support for spam scripts or w/e. Rember: This is just a function, not a whole script.

It all depends on the size of your admin team. If you can always have at least one admin in-game at all times, things should run much smoother than when there isn't one. If someone is immature enough to go on another server and spam it with their server IP address, then obviously that server is horrible and ran by idiots; why would any loyal members of your server leave and connect to the one which was just spammed? You don't see LS-RP having this kind of a system active, but look at their player base- they don't want to loose players- but they know they aren't going to.

You're spelling it wrong, it's advertising. It may be a function, but it's kind of a useless function IMHO.
