Problem in the latest Source update

Post by FlyingMongoose »

The latest update which includes the following
Updates to Counter-Strike: Source and the Source Engine have been
released. Release run hldsupdatetool to receive these updates. The
changes are:

Counter-Strike: Source:
- Fixed a crash which could occur if the dynamic weapon price list
failed to download

Source Engine:
- Added new cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent unwanted commands
being run on game clients. The default value is 1, valid settings are:
0 = Don't restrict any server commands.
1 = Restrict server commands in Valve multiplayer games.
2 = Restrict server commands in all multiplayer games.
- Decreased startup time in some cases by rate-limiting the packets sent
to clients during logon
- Improved responsiveness when entering map areas with lots of entities
by automatically compressing large packet updates
Actually causes problems in Cvar-Blocking plugins like zBlock, DSP, and Cvar-X, it makes it so that all clients are not "authed" with these plugins, so they should be disabled. Mani and a few other cvar-blocking plugins are affected by this problem as well.

Aye, it's unfortunate.

I imagine that all leagues will require that players set cl_restrict_server_commands to 0 from now on, so that these plugins can do their job.

Figured I'd post this up due to my server kicking people for not Authenticating w/ cvar-x after that update.

Other things that have been reported for not working include some forms of weapon restrictions, some forms of vote systems, and some team balancers.

Then some aspects of some plugins that need to execute some commands, I think CSS RPG, Zombie Mod, and a couple of others (not certain), that change gameplay style don't work properly anymore either.

I'm not certain about that one though.
