FiveM Client Support

GTA V version? Up to date
Legit or Pirate copy? Legit
Windows version? 10

Hi,
I have a quick, probably simple, question.
How do I log IP adresses of people who join my server? I already searched around on the forum, but I didn’t find a useful answer. I host the FiveM server on a pc.

I already want to thank you guys

Get the IP identifier from the player (upon connect or when you want it to happen).

Thx for your reply, but I don’t understand what you mean. Im quite new to this😅

Or, GetPlayerEndpoint(playerServerId) (here)

If you just want to log all IP’s to a simple log file, you could do something like this as a server script:

AddEventHandler("playerConnecting", function(source)
    local file = LoadResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "ips.log")
    SaveResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "ips.log", file .. GetPlayerName(source) .. " " .. GetPlayerEndpoint(source) .. "\n", -1)
end)

Also, remember, it is trivial to change (or, rather, mask) IP addresses nowadays. VPN providers have wide ranges that you can jump between even on free providers. If you’re wanting to ban anything half way meaningful, do the license identifier.

Thank you so much. Do you have a website where you can find those “parts” of the scripts, if you understand what I mean

I have one more question, where can I find the log?

Mainly the scripting sections on http://docs.fivem.net/

Also, it’s perfectly fine to ask these questions, we don’t mind unless it are super obvious things :slight_smile:

That log would be saved in the folder of whatever resource you put that script in.

12

I can’t find it.

I made a new resource folder called “log”.
In there I putted a __resource.lua which contains the following: server_script “server.lua”

Then I made a server.lua, which contains your code. But I still can’t find it.
Did I do something wrong?

13

Did you join the server?

14

yes, and some of my friends did too

15

Probably crashes if the file is nil, try creating an empty file (ips.log) in that resource folder

I tried, but it doesn’t work
