[Xpilot-hacks] MaxClientsPerIP

[Jarno van der Kolk]

I was playing yesterday and some player logged in as A1, A2, A3, etc...
The result was that a few paused players were kicked by the server.
They couldn't log in anymore either, since all bases were occupied..

This is a patch that allows a serverowner to set the maximum number of
clients allowed to log in from the same IP.
When the maximum is reached, the server will reply that the game is
full.

The new serveroption is called MaxClientsPerIP (maxperip for short).
Setting it to 0 (or less) will turn it off
And the defaultvalue is 4.
