Another great from Wilson. Thank you and we will get to installing it tonight!

It’s possible to modify the plugin to verify that cvars is in a rank of values and in case that isn’t change to a default value, examples: rnrnrate 15000-30000:20000rncl_particlefx 1,2:1rnrn- indicates that it must be between 15000 and 30000 rn, indicates that it must be one of those values rn: indicates that next value is the default valuernrnGood work Wilson

Hey Wilson, can this be used to block players from changing their names ?.rnIt looks like it could i'm just not sure. very nice indeed.

Also, when they leave the server, does their settings go back to what it was originally?

Ah, I just tested it, and it doesn't go back to what it origionally was. Is it possible though to make it a toggle?

well theres no way to do anything on the client itself when they disconnect...

So you can't have it so when the client leaves, it'll just return to normal, or when the plugin is turned off, it goes back to normal?

I'm looking for a simple plugin that will not allow anyone to change their name once they enter my servers. I have players come in a change there names 4 or 5 times or more while playing in my servers. this has got to stop. :|

yea this works great, for an update, i'd love for it have a range, like cl_updaterate 60-100, and it would pick from between there.

HLguard has that ability for a range of settings. Its a bit of a pain to set up using the supplied defaults seem to be for CS. But if you D/L the latest Cvar configs and do some editing for DoD you should be right. rnrnJust go to the FORUMS for the latest stuff not the D/L link on the home page and be prepared to be kicked untill you get it just right

Yay, another plugin to allow server admins to screw with peoples rates. Please don't use this plugin for rate enforcement, the servers already offer that with normal config settings, leave users rates settings alone. I already see two posts with stupid settings.rnrnrate 15000-30000:20000 rncl_updaterate 60-100rnrnThese two affect how much data the server sends to the one client which has no effect on everyone elses gameplay.rnrnThey probably don't even realise the one people complain about when a user is "rating" and skipping everywhere is cl_rate, not rate, and you cannot adjust that one remotely.

ive been under the impression that cl_rate was phased out and no longer actually used and only rate is.. at least im pretty sure it says that around the steam forums somewherennbut yea.. i never understood why ppl want to mess with others rates...nnsv_maxupdateratensv_minupdateratensv_maxratensv_minratenncontrol is already built into the server...

i'd added some cmd in cvarguard.ini as followrnrn

rnrnlightgamma 2.5rngamma 3rncl_particlefx 2rn+maprn+duckrn_cl_minimap 3rnrn

;7354']First of all, why in god's name would you want to block +duck? Or +map?rnrnSecond, these commands cannot be blocked as they are not aliases.rnrnEDIT: I just read your other thread about the minimap.rnrnThe command you will want to use to block the minimap is as follows:rncl_dmshowplayers 0rnrnThis will allow full usability of the minimap, but prevent players from showing up on it.

Why mess with the minimap in the first place with this plugin?

Wilson is there a way to force stopsound for everyone who joins my server?

;9620']zeromips, for realism purposes. They didn't have radar in WWII.rnrnCampbell, no. That's a client-side command and has nothing to do with this plugin. It's not possible to block that command.

Is this plugin broken now? I can load it but it won't enforce anything. I used it some years ago with success.

it doesn't work now. you should just use loop. remember it's slow hacking...rnrnZeta

In english? Lol i dont know what you mean by loop or slow hack.

Slow hacking is a term used when admins are changing client sided controls...rnrnFor example if I change your mouse1 button to kill instead of +attack this is considered slowhacking.rnrnI assume the person was referring to the stopsound comment and sees that as slowhacking. As far as the loop comment, I have no idea.

If this plugin doesnt work it should be moved to Old/Discontinued Plugins. And hereby it is.nnIf anyone fix it please do say so, and it will be moved back.nnn- Cheers

Ah yeah I'm not using it for stopsound and it cannot be used for that either, it's forcing CVARs on the client. I just want to force something during certain gameplays such as removing icons over their head.

a couple of moths ago, i can't remember how many, one of valve's updates broke this plugin. this is what is use to disable dubious scripts and a couple more cvars. it works sending the commands every X time to all clients, over and over. it's a very dirty dirty hack of the original plugin, but it works:rnrn

As a side note, I might add that it seems as the original plugin does change the client's cvars, its the "lock" feature that is out of order. The cvars can be changed back by the client.

it doesnt work anymore because valve blocked setting aliases on cvars i think

You cant no longer create aliases that have the name of a CVAR.rnThere is no way to actually block client value of CVARs.
