ETF2L – Latest activity in “Protected Servers” https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/ Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=279804 Quoted from AcidReniX
A config that says "Server protection activated" wouldn't exactly get my trust that a team were not using modified values on their server ... but if there is no way for the 'away' team to tell, then it's the same as the 'home' team telling them that they haven't modified any settings.
These 2 points are pretty much the sole cause for 99.9% of credit card and identity theft worldwide. I don't see why it would be any different in this case. Any sort of "central group who certify them" gives 2 massive problems. Either A) It increases the barrier of entry for running servers (i.e. increases cost to providers/anyone running their own servers to get "certified") and B) If they just offer certification at cost (i.e. like SSL certificates now), all it means for cheaters is they need to pay a little more money. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will find a way around it and make a mint off cheaters. Ignoring this, I think in 2 years of comp TF2 I've only seen this happen once (and it was actually on our own server after forgetting to set sv_cheats 0 from the night before).]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=279804 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:04:46 +0100 Reply by Dr-Gimpfen https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=279798 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=279798 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:55:35 +0100 Reply by AcidReniX https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=279777 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=279777 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:58:24 +0100 Reply by ronny https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278683 Quoted from AnAkkk
[...] No, as you can load a plugin from any folder on the server, and that's mainly the problem. You need to protect all folders accessible by the user.
As far as I know this can only be done with the "plugin_load" command which is blocked in protection mode. Another way to load plugins is via gameinfo.txt which is also blocked.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278683 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:06:07 +0100 Reply by AnAkIn_ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278647 Quoted from Spike Himself
Surely all you'd need to do is chmod the addons folder?

[...] new ratehacks dont use ingame cvars aswell so this will just block metamods or server side hacks wich are not even common at all cba the effort nice try tho
why do u even care, ur banned in all the leagues anyway and thats obvious no ac plugin or app can deal with ppl who restrict bandwith inside os or even router]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278632 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:47:59 +0100 Reply by Xeur https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278629 Quoted from Ronny

does this blocks ratehack / modified tcp.regs ?
gee "Protected Server" why this is such a new and exciting concept you thought of. nothing that has already been obvious to any non-retarded game host since what, 01?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278627 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:38:16 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278626 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278626 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:29:42 +0100 Reply by Xeur https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278625 Quoted from Ronny
[...] - It currently does not fix any rate values but it would be technically possible. what are tcp.regs?
private tcp's r kinda similar to ratehacks, makes you harder to hit and easier meatshots etc can be easily fixed same as ratehacks since it works nearly the same not so popular in tf2 tho but seen this in na tf2]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278625 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:29:41 +0100 Reply by ronny https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-2/?recent=279804#post=278621 Quoted from reactioN

Yes that's what I meant. (but wouldn't they need read access for the game to work in the first place?)
the files which needs read access like "valve.rc" have "0644" so they can be read but not be modified.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278618 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:08:35 +0100 Reply by Xeur https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-15686/page-1/?recent=279804#post=278614 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=15686&post=278614 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:45:08 +0100
