Multi Account Problem.

[chaoswar4u]

Hi. Im running MCcode V2 and I wish to limit the accounts made by the same IP address. There was a post about such a thing however I think it was for V1 Code as the edits they used didnt work for me unless it was my error. The code in question (Or the code they edited) is

$ip = ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])

    ?  $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']

    :  $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if(file_exists('ipbans/'.$ip))

{

die("Your IP has been banned, there is no way around this.

Re: Multi Account Problem.

The code you're looking at is for complete IP bans. If you want to block a particular IP completely from your game.

well...this won't get people who use proxies, AOL dialup, and a hundred other reasons -but it'll get you started.

I would think another table as an array would be another good step to work on.

under the multireferral section of register.php I suppose:

 

// multi IP trap .. test
$a=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastip='$ip'",$c);
if(mysql_num_rows($a) > 0)
{
event_add(1,"{$ip}:{$_POST['username']} attempted to register under an existing IP.",$c);
die("Accounts playing from the same IP address must be approved and set-up by a game admin.

Please contact [email][email protected][/email] via non-game-mail, or ID #1 via in-game mail from 

the other account(s) on this IP. Multi accounts are frowned upon, tell us why you deserve one.");
}
// end multi IP trap .. test

 

that's a step, -it should really be taken further if you are serious about this.

Good Luck.
