If you were to query the client with a convar every 20seconds, then if it doesn't respond try three more times. If it doesn't send anything back after the 3 trys kick the client (Similar to what Kigen Anti-Cheat does, if not the same), setting sv_timeout to 120 should do the trick if the above is implemented into a plugin.
Again, this is only valid if kicking the player does not count towards "ghost slots". Kyle. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 5:36 PM, DontWannaName! <ad...@topnotchclan.com>wrote: > Yes, I too have tried.
