Looking for help for releasing

[mouseboyx 88]

Is there something special I need to do before releasing a script?

 

I am looking for someone to audit or test this script that I would like to release, if that's appropriate.  I've done extensive testing on 2 or more servers, but recently redid this script to make it lighter and more universal.  It's a clan registration sapp script that gives a good chance at detecting players who are impersonating other players within your circle of influence.  It works by specifying a custom command in the config like /register, but could be anything.  Then a password is specified like "12345".  If someone were to run with that config then they could register their name to the ip address by using /register 12345 from within halo.  It is basically on the honor system by who you choose to give the /command <password> to.  And if that leaks out due to human error the system collapses.  If someone joins with a name already registered and the ip doesn't match it will kick them within a time frame (to allow for dynamic ip players to re-register).  If someone's ip is always changing though it's probably best not to have them use this at all, unless they want to go through the hassle of typing /command <password>  every time they join a server with this script.  I don't have a graceful solution to un-register someone though, it has to be done by manually editing the file stored with the user / ip information.  My clan/group on retail has had a problem with impersonators for a long time so this is my solution to attempting to fix that problem, but the password has leaked a few times, so this is a countermeasure with consequences if it's not used correctly.  I also have no idea whether this is actually useful, or if it would become not worth what it offers due to the drawbacks. I used quite a bit of code from Chalwk's github to make this, so thanks to him for making it easier.  This is the first proper script that I wrote for sapp, born out of necessity.

Nothing required outside the rules outlined at the top of the releases section. =]

 

You can always edit the release if you or someone else finds an issue with the script down the road, too.
