Features

This mod can be used to allow only known player to access an otherwhise open server. If not present, the mod will create the configuration files on startup

The mod will check if a connecting user steamID is in the whitelist file, if not, it will prevent the user from accessing the server. Additionally, is possible to add/remove users from the whitelist file while the server is running. If the option "GateKeeperKickPlayer" as been enabled, the mod will kick any user from the server that has been removed from the whitelist.

The whitelist file can be reloaded on a live server in multiple ways:

• GateKeeperFileWatcherEnabled will enable a file whatcher what will reload the file on change (this doesn't work on Wine installations).
• GateKeeperUpdateEnabled will enable a time based reload of the file.
• Using the ".Protector reload" command, an Admin user can ask the mod to reload the list.
