Hey there,
We're in the process of creating a ban setup for Counter-Strike:Source
and were copying all the bans from CS1.6 over (since it works by account
rather then key, we can keep people banned if they abuse in one game)
and I came across a rather odd error:
Cbuf_AddText: buffer overflow
This
Yeah, there's a limit on the file size. Off the top of my head, I can't
remember the limit, though.
On a somewhat-related note, when one bans someone in the console, i.e., rcon
banid 0 steamid, does that write it to a file so that it reloads? I've been
banning people tonight that have been
Hmm interesting, now how about being able to store bans in an SQL database?
:)
Feel free to voice your opinion if you think I don't have a clue and why this may be a
bad idea, because I haven't thought it through. I just like the idea. LOL

I may be entirely ignorant of that way that this thing is coded...but,
my guess is that in one of their header files they have a
#define MAXBANS 1024;
or something like that. This type of thing cannot be set in a cvar,

Hi
After reading some of the posts regarding the hacked steamid's I now need to
take action on my servers against these users as when we ban someone they
just come back with one of these id's. Correct me if I'm wrong but all
hacked steamid's are in the following format STEAM_X:X:44XX. I want
Lets assume this is happening on a very very fast (dual processor)
server comp with 2gb+ of RAM, (because it is), having a lot of bans in
memory isn't a problem. However, this is for a GSP, which has a lot of
bans that cannot be revoked because those people that are permanently
banned will return
The amount of bans we have been looking at will get to the stage of
10,000 PLUS records at the rate these STEAM_ID cheats keep joining our
servers.

Now that I think about it...the buffer overflow problem is most likely
caused by the data in the file read buffer growing too large, not on
any restrictions placed on the list of bans.

store the bans is in a linked list. It

That'd be good if it was only those people, though as I said in my
response, those are the numbers for new accounts. People buying HL2
silver will most likely be creating new accounts to use it on, and will
probably have a play with HL1 mods. You'd be effectively banning them
as well.
Better off
HL2 silver does, HL2 bronze does not. Gold does as well.

That's a bit annoying to do when you're dynamically generating a new
banned.cfg to all servers every ~15 minutes and then executing it, it'd
grow pretty unmanageable fairly fast :/
Not that it's such a bad idea though. At least we can actually do this
kind of stuff with valve software (/me glares

You must be joking. When I ban people it is for good. I do not want them
coming back to my server or any server I run in the future. I would never
unban someone unless it was a mistake.
HL Servers are for following the rules. If you do not want to play by my
rules, go to another server. There

The fix for Valve overwriting your files is to copy them first, update then
copy them back. Create a .bat file like:
copy C:\dedicated server\czero\motd.txt C:\dedicated server\czero\motd.bu
copy C:\dedicated server\czero\server.cfg C:\dedicated
server\czero\server.bu
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command
Dude we have already banned myg0t and JAPS guys up at STEAM_0:1:46

Install AMX-mod. Its better. why not then take SLAY TARGET PLAYER when
you notice that him cheats Slay dosent take data after player is
respawned. It only takes data from he is slayed until he is respawned.Slay
does a 100 HP damage to that player. A very effective function , it works on

If the list were sorted and a binary search was performed, the amount of

I know this is a crap shoot, but here goes.
I've been running my DoD server for a few years and like most servers, it
has evolved over time.
The server has a lot of metamod plugins like Amxmod and
Why don't you try doing a binary search on your problem plugin? First
remove half of them and see if problem occurs, if not, then try half of
the other half and see what happens. Continue this way and it's only
take a couple tries to narrow it down.
