Re: [hlds] RE: Name change exploit
Rather than Valve wasting their time adding in features to cater to unco people, I'd rather see them putting in a quick, sane default to stop the immediate problem and then focusing on some of the other more serious issues, and I'm sure the majority of server administrators and game players would also. -- david Original Message From: "David Fencik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 4:02 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] RE: Name change exploit No it isn't.

Re: [hlds] Name change exploit
Either make its so its a server side variable that server admins can control themselves or set it to once per round, since once a map is too limiting and you are screwed if you make a typo, which gawd knows I'm liable to do at any given time.

RE: [hlds] Name change exploit
Here's a really simple one; while developing a nasty name filter I's neccessary to change you name various times; this becomes a real pain in the ass while testing if I had to reconnect every dam time. Additionally there are plenty of us who may want to change our name more then once per connection\map. Putting on an admining tag comes to mind, as does renaming others who may have filthy or offensive names. I suggest flexibility in whatever solution is deployed not some hardcoded valve enforced limit of 1 or 2.. make it configurable, that way folks like yourself get what you want and folks with other ideas get what they want. "fixing" this via a brute force limiting it to 1 is just asinine imho, though I'm sure you meant well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darren Mason Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 5:58 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit Kevin, Could you please shed some light on this.

Re: [hlds] Name change exploit
I too vote for server admin making the choices. Please don't hard code restrictions like this, let me decide how I want to limit it. The other day I was in my server with a few of the regulars, and they were trying to decide on a clan name. They were changing their names several times a minute and we were voting/commenting on the changes. This may not be the norm, but the more important point is that this should be my choice, not Valves choice. - Original Message - From: "Napier, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 2:45 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit > Put me down on the side of serveradmin flexability. > Option to disable the rename ability completely during your server connection\map. > namechangewhileconnected (0\1 default 1) > > Option to limit # of times perplayer per map > namechangeperplayer (# - default 3) > > Option to limit overall rate of name changes globally > namechangetickrate (seconds - default 60) > namechangeratelimit # (default 6) > > Something to this effect would allow server admins greater flexability then just some Valve derived, hard coded limit. though you could alway tack on an internal limited of say something like 10 a second to prevent dos's. > > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds > Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 2:12 PM > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit > > > We will look at increasing the timeout interval, I can't tell you the > exact implementation right now however (we are bouncing around a couple > of ideas). > > - Alfred > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mason > Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 11:01 AM > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit > > Alfred, please put my vote in with for a threshold of 1x per map or 1x > every 5-10 minutes or more.

Re: [hlds] Name change exploit
Alfred Reynolds wrote: We will look at increasing the timeout interval, I can't tell you the exact implementation right now however (we are bouncing around a couple of ideas). - Alfred how about a seperate setting to disallow name changes in game between map changes period. this way our observers can get the demos and status screenshots we require for verifiable ban evidence. Another nice feature would be to detect automatic name changing and automatically rename the player to something unattractive. well maybe not... that one sounds more like a mani admin mod feature doen't it. lol the best solution overall is to have VAC for Source so the "skillz downloaders" can be banned period. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Name change exploit
Yes, CS: Source. I dont think its once per second... its a lot faster than that when viewed via HLSW, can you check? Try via observer/spectate mode as well. Increase this throttle from once per second to something like once per 30/60 seconds - No one needs to change their name every second.
