What's the latest mod that will keep track of player IP's, aliases, games played...etc?
I've seen AKA but it's about 5 years old.

I developed NexgenPlayerLookups for it. I've been using it on my server for a long time. You might wanna check it out, but note that it will require the server to run Nexgen.

I don't think it does a whole lot of good now. The players that AKA logs are the ones you won't have trouble with. The people that can bypass AKA checks are the troublemakers.

I've kept all my AKA logs over the years and there has been an explosion post-ACE of 'new' players due to the usage of bypass methods. AKA is sometimes handy but certainly don't think it to be anywhere near a foolproof method of identification.

Troublemakers I can deal with.
I just want a way to keep track on who is playing and when.
As for Nexgen that's to much work for what I want or need.
Thanks anyway.

Try using UTSTATS to track when players are playing.

There is a new mod player count http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/f...hp?f=51&t=1951

UniversalUnreal should also be considered, the light version doesn't require Nexgen. But note that it needs a full webserver to work

If you are just looking to log by IP then AKA is still your best bet. Without using some sort of authentication system you would have to use that anyway as the identifier.

I have a bare bones AKA class built into MonsterHunt2Gold that I modified from the AKA release. It works well to build an AKA style log without all the extras that came long with AKA. You are welcome to use that class as a server mod, it works just fine. Oh, and I got permissions to do the rewrite of AKA so it's cool if you want to use mine as a base.

If you want to track players by IP UTStats4.2.8 should do the job. There's also a development patch which adds support for other types of ID and which shows the real name on the player page.

I should really finish that one off before starting on new projects.
