If you use Alias along with BanHammer, Can you enable the alias functionality (auto banning logins from alt accounts on the same IP) on a case by case (or ban by ban) basis?
The reason I ask, is we would love to have this functionality to be able to kill alt accounts of banned players. However, we have had situations where multiple people in the same location play MC on our server, and one of them gets banned (as an example, we had two brothers that played on our server and we had to ban one of them), we dont want Alias to ban the brother that didnt get banned because he shares an IP Address with his banned brother.
Granted this is a somewhat rare occurance, but it certainly happens. That banned brother has logged in with 3 different alt accounts (or friends accounts), but we cant do an IP Ban because we will end up banning his brother as well.
Im sure i did a terrible job of explaining that, but in short ... can alias functionality be enabled/disabled on a ban by ban basis?
EDIT: Actually, I think i found this answer on the Alias Website. Am i correct in thinking that if i do /as delete brother1 brother2 that alias wont trigger a ban on the 2nd brother but would still ban any other account that came from that IP?
@daisyduck1
If you try checking your own name it should display some useful information. Does it not?

http://repository.james.richardson.name/releases/name/richardson/james/bukkit/alias/. As they are not approved I have to warn you about using them.
I get this message in the serverlog:
[Craft Scheduler Thread - 1/INFO]: [Alias] A new version of Alias (1.4.4) is available.
Can you tell me, where i can find the new version. I want to try, because with /as check NAME i didn“t get any information. It says only: ..... is not known to Alias.
The MySQL works fine, the tables alias_addresses, alias_players and alias_players_addresses are existing, but nothing will be there saved.
@captbunzo
There will be soon yes. I have uncovered another bug I need to fix then I can release a new version.
Hi. Will there be a release of Alias that fixes the MissingResourceException error, please? (the same one that was effecting BanHammer)
@FredyR4zer
You can avoid this happening by setting your own name down as immune from banning in BanHammer. This would obviously always allow them to login they managed to spoof your name.
Also, when I run this on my 1.5.2 server I get http://pastebin.com/TjMHAe4c for Alias, AND http://pastebin.com/6VEZxDDT for BanHammer
What if i ban someone and that person log's in with my nickname and alias ban's that nickname to? They can trol with this
@AS1LV3RN1NJA
I do know that other people build this in, but for BanHammer it was deliberate to seperate it out. The reasoning is that the information is useful to more than one plugin.
Also some people are not interested in temporary banning or might not want to store the IP addresses of all their players. Not storing that information in the BanHammer database keeps it lean.
@FuZeEclipse
Yes but wait for the normal release (i.e without SNAPSHOT) before putting it on your server. The other one is just for testing. Obviously also update BanHammer.
With this Banhammer tempbans their Ip right?
FWIW, EasyBan has similar functionality built in. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/easyban/
@breezeyboy
This was developed before FindIP and is designed with other plugins in mind.
FindiP already does this
