Feature Request: Add a easier way to use ASN from in game #5

Open WulftheNordicRanger opened 4 years ago

WulftheNordicRanger commented 4 years ago

Got some feedback from someone about some potential usability improvements : "I checked this mod FrostRanger and it seems like it would requires extensive setup and maintenance to actually be be usable. I really like though that the ASNs can be linked to certain players but I would preferably would probably want a simpler mod that could simply track the banned IPs so if there were such circumstances then you could simply do something like querying the most banned ASNes and which players are "in" those ASNes then simply ban in the chat the position of that ASN (so if you wanna ban the "top" ASN then you just do that). Instead of having to remenber ASN numbers. Which are very hard to manage in game since copying and pasting isn't even possible."

I did explain that the install process was not complicated, but I do agree that addding a simpler way to not have to type out asn numbers would be convient, especially for a server like theirs that does not use the irc mod and hence does not have an easy way to copy or paste asn numbers

Have a suggestion for how to simplify this: add a command that lists all the ASN's of a player numerised. eg, you run the command for arandomplaer and get back 1, someasn123 2, anotherasn456 3,yetanotherasn789 then you could run something along the lines of /block_asn arandomplayer 1 (sorry if that example made little sense, I'm tired lol)

so, this doesn't seem to be w.r.t. needing to keep the ASN file up-to-date w/ a bash script, and moreso about managing an ASN by extension through a player's most-recently-used ASN. The latter is certainly possible, and not too hard to implement, though I do want to toss the idea around in my head a bit cuz my intuition says there should be a downside to this change, but I don't see it.
