Prevent player from using the name "Survivor

After many searches I decided to ask the question here. Is there a parameter that prevents the player from using the name "survivor"?

BEC Filters for BadNames

I haven't need able to get BEC to properly filter the names. I even put the full path to the "badnames.txt" but it still doesn't work.

There is a .txt named 'ban' in the DayZServer root folder.

Names added to this file will be banned. Just tested it succesfully today.

Best of luck.

Using the ban or bans.txt files will just instant ban the player.  The BadNames.txt file will just kick the player until they change their profile name from the default "Survivor".

 

Unfortunately, BadNames.txt is not working anymore. I'm also trying to get an answer as to why. I don't know if it's because Battleye no longer handles playernames like that anymore or if more recent DayZ SA code breaks BEC functionality.

A player made a character on my server. After I added the name 'Survivor' (not the SteamID/guid) to the ban.txt in the root folder, he tried to connect, but couldn't until he changed his name.

I confirmed with him that he had unsuccessfully tried to log in.

I can't tell you why, but it works as intended for me. Maybe I'm missing something.
