BanEnforcer — Steam-Only Ban Tool (Host)

BanEnforcer lets the host keep troublemakers out—fast. It stores bans as Steam64s and stops banned players at the Steam lobby gate (before they ever reach Photon). If someone slips through, BanEnforcer immediately cleans up RPCs/objects and closes the connection.

It also comes with a slick glassmorphism UI, a built-in Arcade (Pong) tab, and a tiny easter egg 👀.

Features

• Steam-Only bans
  Bans are stored as steam:<Steam64> and enforced for Steam players.

• Host-side lobby gate
  Blocks banned SteamIDs at the Steam lobby level when you’re the lobby owner.

• Photon cleanup fallback
  If a banned player appears in-room, their RPCs/objects are removed and their connection is closed.

• Modern UI
  Semi-transparent glass look, 3D shading, shadows, and a tidy 3-panel layout (Players / Banned / Steam Lobby).

• Persistent
  Saves to BepInEx/config/RepoBanList.json.

• Fast controls

  • F6 — open/close BanEnforcer
  • F7 — debug dump to console

• Arcade (Pong)
  A quick break built into the Arcade tab. Left paddle = W/S. Right paddle has adaptive AI. Runs on unscaled time so it’s playable even when the game is paused.

• A little easter egg
  There’s a small audiovisual mode tucked away. We won’t spoil how to trigger it. If you find it, switching tabs exits it.

How it works (short version)

1. You ban a Steam64 (from in-room Players, from the Steam Lobby list, or by manual entry).
2. BanEnforcer adds steam:<Steam64> to your local list and saves it.
3. As lobby owner, it tries to kick that SteamID at the Steam lobby level.
4. If a banned user is already in, BanEnforcer removes RPCs/objects and closes the connection via Photon.

⚠️ Host-only enforcement. Non-hosts can open the UI in “viewer” mode but only the host’s instance enforces bans.

UI & Controls

• Open UI: press F6 (also adds a BAN LIST button to Escape/Lobby menus)
• Debug dump: press F7
• Tabs:
  • Bans — players in room, your banned list, current Steam lobby members, and a manual Steam64 field
  • Arcade (Pong) — quick game; Left = W/S, Right = AI

Save file: BepInEx/config/RepoBanList.json

Using BanEnforcer

• Ban a current player:
  UI → Players in Room → BAN (Steam)

• Ban from Steam Lobby list:
  UI → Steam Lobby Members → BAN (Steam)

• Manual Steam64 ban:
  UI → Manual Steam64 → Ban by Steam64

• Remove a ban:
  UI → Banned (Steam) → Remove

• Clear all bans:
  Top bar → Clear All Bans

If a player shows “Unknown” for Steam64, give it a moment or use the Steam Lobby panel/manual entry. The F7 debug dump prints everything it knows.

Compatibility & Notes

• Steam-only: bans apply to Steam64 IDs.
• Host required: only the host can enforce kicks/gates.
• Lobby ownership: Steam lobby kicks work when you own the lobby (BanEnforcer falls back to Photon cleanup otherwise).
