--------Readme file for Ban Download ver 1.01-------- Description : This program downloads -all- bans done in a zone or all the network bans. It uses the continuum chat window to do this procedure. The download time is around 4 minutes for a normal download or 9 minutes for a "Extended timeout" download. "Extended timeout" gives your connection more time to finish sending its data to you before proceeding to the next 100 bans to be downloaded. The maximum number of bans which will be downloaded are 3000, enough for most zones. If you want support for more than 3000, email me and I will send you an updated version witin a few days. NOTE : This program does not send any additional information than what you can see on-screen in Continuum. Usage : 1.Start Continuum. 2.Enter the zone which you have BanG access in. 3.Go to a private arena with no people in. 4.Log on to BanG 5.Alt-Tab out to Windows. 6.Start up the "Ban Download" program. 7.(optional) Select the "Extended timeout" button if you are experiencing difficulties with incomplete ban logs. 8.Click on either "Download zone ban log" ( lvl 4 BanG ) or "Download network ban log" ( lvl 2 BanG ) 9.Wait 4 or 9 minutes, depending on whetever you`ve selected the "Extended timeout" mode. 10.Do NOT touch any keys or mouse buttons while the download is in progress. 11.You`ll see a message notifying you when the download has finished. 12.Examine the ban log file if you wish, using either notepad or a program named "Ban Database". *NOTE* If the program has finished downloading all ban descriptions, you may press the button labeled "Stop". Doing so will stop the download and save the log file so you won`t have to wait until it has sent the rest of its commands. --------Version History : -------- 1.01 - Added a stop button in case all ban descriptions have been downloaded and there is no point in continuing. - Found a universal method of activating the continuum chat window, so there won`t be any incompatibility problems. 1.00 - Initial release.
