Ban Converter

Bring the bans of your previous anticheat (FiveGuard, WaveShield or Electron) to Codeon Shield.

What it does

It converts the ban list exported from your previous anticheat into a bans.json file that Codeon Shield loads on your server. Banned players still cannot join.

  • Every identifier (Steam, license, Discord, IP, Xbox, Live, FiveM) and hardware token is detected automatically.
  • Expired and revoked bans are skipped.
  • Converted bans do not say which anticheat they come from: they show Console as staff.
  • Nothing is stored on our servers: the file is generated and downloaded on the spot.

Anyone can see the section, but you need a Codeon Shield license to use it.

Steps

  1. Export the bans from the panel or the database of your previous anticheat. JSON, SQL dump, CSV or text are accepted, up to 12 MB and 50,000 bans.
  2. In Ban Converter, choose the previous anticheat (1. Previous anticheat).
  3. Drop or select the file (2. Export file).
  4. Press Convert & download bans.json. You see how many bans were converted, how many were expired or revoked and how many could not be read.
  5. Put the downloaded bans.json in the CodeonShield folder (next to fxmanifest.lua), replacing the existing one.
  6. Run cs reload in the console (or restart the server).
Replacing bans.json deletes the bans Codeon Shield already had. If you already have your own bans, back them up first.
