Alright with regards to unbanning not working right. I spent 2 hours this evening unable to reproduce this. The bans seem to be unbanning perfectly for me, with everything being properly deactivated in the database. Now if I reconnected I still had to remove myself from the gameserver's ban list. And I only have non PB games/servers to test on which may be an altering factor. It should be stated that if you have a version of wideban plugin from before I patched it, that any ban entry's or notices in the penalty table trigger a reban.
Could you tell me what gameserver type's, if your using PB or not, and what plugins B3 has and show a B3 log from when they connect? Because I can't reproduce this within the scope of the games I have to test on.
I pushed out UTF-8/variable character set support tonight in other news.
Thank you very much for your concern, WickedShell. I am testing an alterops server actually, B3 is working with minimum number of plugins.
The other day I banned a friend and then deactivated the ban via echelon, of course, the ban remain active at the DB till I deleted it myself.
If you would like you may test things on the server, I can give you total access to the server-pc and everything you may need to work, if that suits you.
