playername reservation?

Grave · 17th Jan 2002, 01:08 PM

is it possible to make playername reservation system based on passwords/IP address ranges/database?
by database i mean like when there's e.g. a forum with usernames/passwords and server uses reservation based on the forum's database (querying the same forum database)
-you connect to a server
-it sees takes your name and checks against database if its reserved
-if it's reserved it asks for password (with ability to remember password)
-if it's not reserved either allow/disallow entering the game (admin configurable)

If you used some sort of central server and took advantage of UT's networking stuff it might be possible. I can't say for sure since I've never looked into the code for communicating with things outside of UT. It would be a pretty be project to get it up and running.
