JOIN QUIT

[[MRT]Tremidinha]

with location of the player's parents. could someone tell me how could it be done?

Do you mean, you want to show their country when they connect to the server? if so, admin panel by lil toady has something that could help, if i'm right it get's the player country (some times may fail).

Indeed, the country recognition fails frequently. ip2f.lua i think

You'll need to edit ip2c.lua in admin resource. I made it for you:

aCountries = {} 
  
function getCountry ( element ) 
    local ip  
    if type(element) == 'string' then 
        ip = element 
    else 
        ip = getPlayerIP(element) 
    end 
    if ip == "script needs acl privileges" then 
        return "script needs acl privileges" 
    end 
    if #split(ip,46) ~= 4 then 
        return false 
    end 
    local ip_group = tonumber ( gettok ( ip, 1, 46 ) ) 
    local ip_code = ( gettok ( ip, 1, 46 ) * 16777216 ) + ( gettok ( ip, 2, 46 ) * 65536 ) + ( gettok ( ip, 3, 46 ) * 256 ) + ( gettok ( ip, 4, 46 ) ) 
    if ( not aCountries[ip_group] ) then 
        loadIPGroup ( ip_group ) 
    end 
    for id, group in ipairs ( aCountries[ip_group] ) do 
        if ( ( group.rstart <= ip_code ) and ( ip_code <= group.rend ) ) then 
            return group.rcountry 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end 
  
function loadIPGroup ( group ) 
    aCountries[group] = {} 
    local node = xmlLoadFile ( "conf/ip2c/"..group..".xml" ) 
    if ( node ) then 
        local ranges = 0 
        while ( true ) do 
            local range_node = xmlFindChild ( node, "range", ranges ) 
            if ( not range_node ) then break end 
            local rstart = tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( range_node, "start" ) ) 
            local rend = tonumber ( xmlNodeGetAttribute ( range_node, "end" ) ) 
            local rcountry = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( range_node, "country" ) 
            local count = #aCountries[group] + 1 
            aCountries[group][count] = {} 
            aCountries[group][count].rstart = rstart 
            aCountries[group][count].rend = rend 
            aCountries[group][count].rcountry = rcountry 
            ranges = ranges + 1 
        end 
        xmlUnloadFile ( node ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
    function () 
        if get("outputquitjoin") == "true" then 
            outputChatBox('* ' .. getPlayerName(source) .. ' has joined the game ('..getCountry(source)..')', root, 255, 100, 100) 
        end 
    end 
) 
addEventHandler('onClientPlayerChangeNick', g_Root, 
    function(oldNick, newNick) 
        outputChatBox('* ' .. oldNick .. ' is now known as ' .. newNick, 255, 100, 100) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onClientPlayerQuit', g_Root, 
    function(reason) 
        outputChatBox('* ' .. getPlayerName(source) .. ' has left the game [' .. reason .. ']', 255, 100, 100) 
    end 
) 

Replace it with 'ip2c.lua' in admin system

Exporting a function would be way more convenient. But all in all, admin resources' geolocation database is a rather outdated/incomplete.
