if you have the beta.. you should be fine just overwriting the *.amxx file, theres no changes in cvars between the two (except the public cvar which isnt going to really affect anything)nnbut the beta itself.. will stop working after april 1st.. i think haha

I could do that.. i was actually thinking bout stuff like that today... nntho personally i love when i get a nade primed just right at the end of a round that i can get 2 or 3 extra kills, but i totally understand that some people would prefer that not to happen..nnthe easiest way will probably be to give everyone godmode, as i believe godmode is reset back to normal when a new round starts.. I'll look into itnn:)

Version 3.1 is almost ready, just want to let it run on my server for another day or so then I'll do all the compiling and post it up..nnYou can see the changes due in v3.1 on the initial post of the thread :)nnwith this release, Im going to be doing 2 seperate versions basically.. one of which will use SQL to connect to a db of mine to do a version check (will be more useful once theres more updates and such out) but i also want to eventually (probably v3.2) have servers running the SQL version write any detections/actions to the database to try and keep a total number of these things across all servers. Then maybe in the future add more stuff thats logged to the database..nnIm not totally sure how well the mysql server will hold up with this stuff just yet so we'll have to see what happens lol, but i will keep a non-sql version for those who dont want to run the sql stuff anyway so it wont be a big deal.. and because im sure some ppl might not trust me enough to be willing to let there server connect to a db of mine, so im starting to consider making the source public, but ill have to think about all that later lol

Hello,nnI just installed this. So I am good to go? far as I don't need to change any of the CVARS?

Updated To Version 3.1nnn

- 05.06.08 - Version 3.1n    Improved handling methodn    Optimized some variablesn    Added ability to stop kills after round endsn    Added Linux func_rotating fixn    Added more info to dod_blockexploits_info commandn    Vault data for blocked exploitsn    Days of protection should now be accurate when maps dont change for over 24hrsn    Changed some variables to staticsn    Fixed some error messagesn    Added alternate syntax value to amxbans cvarn    Added 'dod_blockexploits_joinmsg' CVAR to control join msg displaynn    - SQL Versionn        Checks for updated versionn        Added update info to dod_blockexploits_info printoutn

Work on version 3.2 has slowed a bit recently lol, but i did manage to get a basic webpage to display the logged info up and running.nn..Theres still a lot to do with it but its a startnnYou can check it out HERE

The webpage for the SQL version is coming along pretty good so far..nnhttp://blockexploits.avamods.comnn...whats working as of me posting this:nn

• n
• Clicking the row for a detection will load a page showing more details about itn
• On the server listing, clicking a servers row will list all detections from the server IP addressn
• Clicking the IP row on the detection detail page will list all detection from that server IPn
• On the version info page, clicking one of the version rows will list the servers running that versionn

well i made a big change with the SQL version stuff for the upcoming version..nnso being that its a major change, the next version with be v4.0 instead of v3.2nnnnjust to give a brief description of what the SQL version will be: n- you will be able to setup your own database on your own MySQL server to have detections/actions/etc logged to.n- i wrote a somewhat decent (in my opinion lol) web front-end for viewing the data saved in the MySQL database, includes an easy install script to get the config all setup for you as well as it uses CSS so it shouldnt be too difficult for you to modify the colors and all that stuff (you can view the front-end's progress HERE)nnhopefully this might encourage people to run the SQL version as it will now allow you to display the data collected from your server(s) on your webpagennnI should be getting around to releasing this hopefully within a few days, i just want to let it run a little bit more and make sure there isnt any more stupid mistakes that ive missed before releasing it to the public :)nnyou can check out the current change log for v4.0 at the bottom of the 1st post of this thread

well the SQL version thats on here right now (v3.1) works totally different then the next version will so theres no point in using the current one just yet...nnbut it will be using its own CVARs for the mysql database stuff, so you'll be able to put the new cvars where ever you like.. such as the amxx.cfg, or you could add them to the the sql.cfg just to keep the settings together with your other sql cvarsnnand yeah ive been trying to think of a good way of going about releasing the source code.. i havent even released it to developers/admins on this site except when they specifically asked me for itnntho to be honest.. the source code is quite huge and i wouldnt be surprised if not too many people could even figure out half the exploits by looking thru the code.. 1) because its a real lot of code to go thru (tho i have it broken up into a bunch of seperate files which makes it easier to go thru) and 2) because alot of the blocks dont exactly give away how to do the exploit (but on the other hand some are real easy to figure out)nnn..anyway i think v4.0 is about ready and if i get time tonight I'll try posting it (hopefully ill have something better to do tho lol)

nSo but you are basicly going from v3.1 to v4? As 3.2 includes the web-end (as least, thats I how I read/translated it) but I assume they will be in their seeing the changelog.

nI was wondering about the HLSS block, that will be CVAR handeled? As we actually do allow HLSS spamming on our servers while people want it.

Version 4.0 Released!nn

- 08.13.08 - Version 4.0n    Changed version readout on dod_blockexploits_info commandn    Removed old debug server_print from ini version autoupdaten    Fixed a chance of logging wrong current compatible ini version on updaten    Added ini file version to dod_blockexploits_info commandn    Added 'dod_blockexploits_reset' command to reset stored vault datan    Reworked the way handling/logging is done (better compatibility for sql version)n    Slight change to kick/ban chat messagesn    Plugin will now still work correctly when the INI file isnt foundn    Fixed join messagen    Fixed pistol zoom block not working with scoped fg42n    Fixed bug in false respawn timer bypass detection on first team joinn    Added HLSS blockn    Now checks for plugins that are already included in DoD Block Exploitsn        * Connecting Team Fixnn    - SQL Versionn        Changed purpose of SQL versionn        Created web front-end with install script

wow good catch! i musta been smoking too much.. i have no idea how i forgot to put the web stuff in the zip file lmaonnv4.1 is mostly just some very minor stuff, but it also fixes duplicate respawn timer bypass detections. Ive barely done any work on it over the past month so its nothing major, maybe ill just release it tonight or tomorrow as i should have some free time and since i gotta add the web files anyway lolnnnthanks again, i feel quite dumb right now hahaha

im not sure if im totally following you...nnthe pistol zoom stuff most ppl are familar with, basically its when you have a sniper rifle (or scoped fg42) and you click to zoom in and switch to pistol with the right timing and you end up zoomed in with the pistol..nnas for having it set to block silently, im confused.. theres isnt any cvars that control that fix.. its just automatically blocked...nnnow ive experienced many times being able to zoom in with the normal enfield (like when i go to stab the bayonet, it zooms in.. but i can still hear the stab happening) but ive never been able to figure out why that happens or how to recreate it. I did start to work on a fix for that, but i cant really test it so I havent included it in the plugin. But i havent noticed it happening on my server in a long time (probably like 6 months) so maybe it was a result of other plugins i was running back thennnand im not really sure what you mean about being stuck in the scope, i dont think ive ever experienced that myself

oh wow ok i see what you mean now... i was just able to recreate that without running the weapon mod (its pretty nice with the carbine lol).. but i imagine it would happen a lot more often using that plugin.. and its definitly annoying that you cant get out of the zoom without using a sniper rifle again lolnnshouldnt be hard to fix that.. ill get that into v4.1 before i release itnnthanks again :D

alright i got it fixed/blocked i think.. only problem is you have to be running amxx v1.8.0+ for itnnbut since v1.8.1 is officially released and it doesnt have the problems that v1.8.0 had with the dodx module, theres no reason anyone should be using an older version...nnbut im still going to keep backwards compatibility for those who are too lazy to update, they just wont have this fix active :)nnanyway im gonna test it some more tonight to make sure and i have the next 2 days off from work so i should be able to release v4.1nn*edit*nnok well maybe its gonna take me longer cause i dont wanna stop playing clear sky lol

ok sorry guys but its gonna be a while..n nin the past two weeks i lost my girl/best friend, my grandfather passed away (only person in my family that i was extremely close to and it was totally outta no where and unexpected), and now my pc has died lol.. n n nso yeah.. i wouldnt expect to see me or anything from me for probably a few weeks if im lucky

Version 4.1 Released! (finally lol)nn

- 11.16.08 - Version 4.1n    Now tested & compiled under official AMXX v1.8.1 releasen    Fix for duplicate respawn timer bypass detectionsn    Fix for duplicate non-deployed mg reload detectionsn    Fixed version numbers in some error messagesn    Non-deployed mg reload is blocked for bots but not loggedn    Removed some forgotten debug coden    Changed HLSS block message to chat instead of consolen    HLSS block is now off by defaultn    Added drop zoom bug/exploit fix (thanks Tank)n    Changed respawn hook to use PStatus methodn    Added more plugin checks:n        * DOD_Falaise_Fixn        * Ecstatic Checkn        * FUSION Spec-Fixn        * rotate_fix_ENn        * rotate_fix_FMnn    - SQL Versionn        Added web front-end files (how did i forget them! thanks again Tank)n        Now executes sql.cfg incase people put the sql cvars in that filen

hmm are you talking about the normal 'white model' exploit or the 'white model/class limit bypass' one that is listed on your website?nni just tried the bypass one and it detected, logged, and banned me after my next respawn (which is what it should do)nnand by banning only you.. do you mean it bans you instead of the other ppl? lol or that when you and others try the exploit but only you end up getting banned

ahh crap.. ill try and get the new version up tonight even tho i just recently came across something new i wanted to block but oh well that can wait lol

Updated to v4.2nn

- 03.08.09 - Version 4.2n    Added proper logging of 'allowed' detectionsn    Can now have end round godmode for winning team onlyn    Changed some log messagesn    Changed spawn method over to HamSandwich for AMXX 1.8.0+nn    - SQL Versionn        Updated web files to version 1.1

the latest hl1 update breaks a few parts of this plugin...nnthe 'decals thru walls' block is one of them, but the client cvar that is used for this exploit now seems to have a max value of 25 which i believe (i implimented this a while back and dont remember exactly) that this block might no longer be needed anyway, cause i think you had to set the cvar value to some really high number to have the decals show thru wallsnni tried going thru all sorts of old forum PMs here and on my own forums, as well as IM chat logs and such, but i cant find anything about it so im not totally surennnnthe other part thats broke is the HLSS block.. not totally major but it was nice to be able to block annoying music from constantly being played lolnnnill mess around a bit and see if theres anything that can be done about this otherwise ill just remove these from the next version (which has basically be sitting here waiting for a release cause im obviously far to lazy to do anything more with it)

Update To Version 5.0nn

- 07.24.09 - Version 5.0 (Final)n    Better task handlingn    Added block for being able to run while scopedn    Removed HLSS block (broken - 05/09 HL1 update)n    Removed 'decals thru walls' block (broken & no longer needed - 05/09 HL1 update)n    Delayed setinfo trace check after player connectionn    Undeployed MG-Reload no longer logs detections by defaultnn    - SQL Versionn        Updated web files to version 1.2n            > Updated some meta tags in the webfilesn            > Corrected year(s) on a few pagesn            > Updated install & update scriptsn            > Added installed check in header filen            > Server page now shows full version numbers

sorry but i dont really have any solution or advice for that problem, seems kind of odd that you wouldnt have access to subfolders in the logs directory...

in regards to a thread you may have seen on both the amxx forums & steam forums (which both have been locked for obvious reasons)nnnthe guy posting as Tpc is ThePowerCosmic (or someone he knows at least, but probably him cause his other steam forums acct is banned), im sure a lot of us know who this guy is and remember the constant problems theres been with him.. if not google him and you'll see pages and pages of servers and players who've had countless problems with him over the course of yearsnnthis plugin has nothing to do with the 'problems' he's been having on his server lol.. nnits a totally seperate thing, and its the result of him using bots names and syns renaming plugin to trash me, my server, and other servers... with names like:nnDiamondOptic-is-queernDiamondOptic-LovesHisHandnDiamond-Optic-Is-Bad@DODnAvamods-Krew-HasNoSkillzn76th-AD-Krew-HasNoSkillsn[FJ]-Ftw-VS-AvanoobsnWhyDoes-DiamondOptic-SuckSoBadn{606th}WeSuckButWeTryn[SOB]OurServersEmptyNown|IV|XX|OurClanIsBadnnas well as othersnnnso maybe theres been some ppl i know that have been freezing his server, who knows because theres alot of people that support me and my server.. but clearly he once again has started shit with me as he has in the past.. and the bug thats been used on his server works on vanilla dod (that means no mods at all) so him blaming it on a plugin or amxx is just a jokennnbut if bailopan, zor, any of the devs etc want the source code for this plugin on any version (i have the source backed up from most versions) feel free to contact me if you want to take a look at itnnnso i just wanted to clear that up before someone reads his posts and believes what he's saying (as rare as it might be that someone actually believes him!)

Update To Version 6.0nn

n- 12.09.09 - Version 6.0 (Final)n    Converting majority of FakeMeta over to Enginen    Added 'Stick Grenade EX fix' (thanks VET)n    Improved some variable usagen    Changed some if statements to switchesn    Used formatex instead of format in a few placesn    Increased variable size for vault datan    Improved vault data string formattingn    Added caching of is_user_connected statusn    Added caching of is_user_bot statusn    Added PCVAR usage for getting mp_allowspectators valuen    Improved some other variable array sizesn    Added 'Client Freeze Exploit' detection/blocknn    - SQL Versionn        Updated web front-end to v1.3 to include new 'Client Freeze Exploit'n        Fixed web front-end from cutting off names containing "<"n        Used formatex instead of format in a few placesn        Set SQL log query variable to staticn

ya i had to allow the IP for mine.. but for some reason it still wouldnt connect with my full IP, so i had to add it like this to get it to work: 8.2.121.%

if leaving it blank worked, then its probably the default mysql port of 3306

hmm couple things i think can cause that.. sometimes the connection could take too long and time out, giving that error (i wish mysql errors were a bit more descriptive lol) and increasing the connect_timeout variable sometimes will help and another possibility could be that remote connections arent allowed in the host.allow file.. Im sure theres probably other reasons too lol, im not very good with understanding mysql errors..nnand unless you host the mysql server yourself, you probably wont have access to change those directly. If you rent it, might be best if you contact the host with that error and see if theres anything that needs to be done to allow your gameserver IP to be able to communicate with the MySQL server..nndo you run anything else that connects to the mysql server? (that isnt on the same machine) such as amxbans or something.. and if so does that work fine?

glad its worked out :D

Would it be possible to include Syn's Rocket Exploit plugin in your next update?

Plugin Download Removed, view 1st post for more information...

metamod also uses GPL

just got home from phish night 2 of 3 so im a little out of it to say the least, but i dont even remember exactly how to trigger that anymore, its been a while lol..nnif my memory isnt lying to me, i believe the chances of false positives were incredibly low as what someone needs to enter into the console to cause it is very unlikely to be entered for any other reason..nnafter the weekend is over i can try to look up my old stuff and see some details about it, maybe even find the old code on one of the hard drives i have piled up here, and if you dont hear back from me, remind me, as im pretty forgetful these days lol

Can I still get this version 6.0 and still use it and where would I get it?
