Q: Does this plugin require ACE absolutely? A: Yes, as it makes heavy use of ACE's features. Q: What ACE versions are supported? A: By now, only ACE versions 0.8g and 0.8h are supported. In theory, every version using the IACEv08c package should work. Q: Will there be a version for ACE 0.9? A: If this version is ever gonna be released to the public, there will for sure be an update of this plugin. Until then, I can not compile this plugin for 0.9 since I don't have the specific IACE file. Q: Do I have to run IpToCountry? A: No, IpToCountry is only optional. Note that you won't be able to perform Hostname bans if you don't run IpToCountry. Q: Why are spectators not affected by HardwareID and MAC bans? A: Since all public ACE versions only perform checks on players, there is no way to detect Spectator's hardware info. Q: Banned players rejoin the game for a few seconds before beeing kicked again. Why is there a delay? A: There could be 2 possible reasons for that: 1) The player is only hardware banned, and ACE needs some time to detect the hardware Info. 2) NexgenABM uses the original Nexgen setting whether to automatically update ban entries. If this feature is enabled, the plugin waits with kicking the player until all required info is received. Although the client may have already failed the first check (IP and ID bans), it will stay on the server until its Hostname and its ACE info is received. Eventually he will be kicked. Q: How many ban entries are supported? A: 256. Q: What admin permissions are required for accessing the ACE Admin tab? A: Clients must have Moderator rights to access the panel. Q: I'm using a custom Nexgen version and there's no compatible version of this plugin available. Am I allowed to recompile this package on my own? A: Generally, if you want a version of this plugin for a custom Nexgen version, ask me and I will do the job for you. If - for whatever reasons - you are unable to get in contact with me, you are allowed to recompile the plugin with respecting the conditions stated in section 5.
