Project: Sauerworld
What is it?
Sauerworld is a project to provide a community website and community services for Sauerbraten. In particular, a community-wide user login system that works across any servers that want to participate, community-wide stats, and working towards an ELO- or TrueSkill-style ranking system with automatic matchmaking.
To put it another way, what if you were able to create a single user account that you can use to login to every major Sauerbraten server, and have your stats automatically calculated across all of your games? What if you could play ranked 1v1 and team games against other players, have your ratings automatically update, and be able to easily find games against players with similar skill level? That’s what we want to create.
Who’s Involved
The project is headed up by mefisto with volunteer contributions and support from a number of others.
Current Status
In development. It’s building on top of the infrastructure that’s being created for SDoS.
Get Involved
The project is looking for developers, server operators, server modders, graphic and web designers, and community/marketing people.

Project: ASkidban
What is it?
A very reusable, reliable and secure system to ban proxies, or unwanted IP ranges, based on information attached to their ASN. The idea is that nowadays most people know how to setup a VPN or get free proxies, but the majority of these are just machines in some big hosting provider running OpenVPN. By banning the entire IP space held by such providers, your server will be safe from annoying kids.
If you happen to visit this page but you don’t even know what Sauerbraten is, good news for you: this project is applicable to any other scenario, even when the definition of “bad ranges” is different for you (you’ll just have to compile your own database).

Current Status
Utility scripts to review AS information is ready. The current database is WIP, but it’s already wired to pisto’s servers (ZOMBIE OUTBREAK for instance). Currently only spaghettimod has complete support, which includes good performance as the list is very big, information message sent to the blocked client in case he wants to complaint, whitelist system based on auth. suckerserv has preliminary support but probably missing the aforementioned points.
Who’s involved?
pisto
Needed:
- Modules for remod and suckerserv
- Server admins available to test this method
