request JoinServerFilter

[Maris]

JoinServerFilter is very good feature. I love it! 

But how can I tell the user WHY he can't join the server? For example, I'd like to show this message:

Quote

You left the server at night. So you can't join at day time. Wait the night and try again.

Or (another example)

Quote

Users can join only for first 30 minutes of the gmae. Game end in 17.3 minutes. Next round at 18:00.

hey @Maris,

You cannot send a custom error string to the client. I'm not sure about that, but I suppose it can works if you have a client mod overriding OnNetworkDisconnect and checking for reason == ID_DST_SLOT_RESERVATION. (Yes this is also the reason sent when the player does not meet the Whitelist restrictions)
Make sure that this mod is loaded before you join the server. (Using Auto downloading might not work)

I made a mod Kindling Fire

And all I need atm is this feature:

local old_Filter = GLOBAL.JoinServerFilter
GLOBAL.JoinServerFilter = function(user_id)
	local data = data_players[user_id] --my custom database
	if data == nil or GLOBAL.TheWorld.state.isnight or TUNING.KINDLING_ANTICHEAT_ENABLED == false then
		--New player or it is night or anti_cheat is disabled.
		return old_Filter(user_id)
	end
	if data.night_time_score ~= nil and data.night_time_score <= -MAX_SKIP_NIGHT_TIME then --Too much cheating.
		print("A cheater is trying to join the server:",data.name or user_id)
		----->>> requested feature:
		GLOBAL.JoinServerFilterMessage = "You are a cheater! Now you can join only at night time."
		return false
	end
	return old_Filter(user_id)
end
