Loop Holes That Can Be Exploited On Tf2 Uk Server

[Outcast 10]

This not a ban request , it's a request to secure the server from UK wich has a good ping with me.

First of all , if i make spelling mistakes don't think i'm stupid , it's not my native language.

There are a couple of problems with the UK servers that drive away honest players :

1. sv allow wait command - this is officially disabled ( 0 ) from valve unless the administrators enable it again , what it does ? if enabled it allows some scripts to work wich give an unfiar advantage over other players , it automates some actions in Team Fortress 2.

For example , demoman http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Demoman_scripts

with the script from here it makes the stickies of demoman shoot faster , it shoots them and explode them on impact automaticly , it may sound as not a big deal but the damage a demoman can do like this is huge.

http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Scout_scripts

with this script the scout is given a lot of tricks that are automated

the man who makes/posted the script has this to say

Autopistol

This is about as close to cheating as scripting can take you. I didn't come up with the original method of scripting this, but I've cleaned it up so that scripters can understand what the hell it is doing, and commented every line as such.

You can keep this simple by binding something directly to "+apistol" and only using that key when you have the pistol out. Or, you can use the optional set of scripting below to have your normal attack key swapped when you select different weapons. This will NOT work with using invnext/invprev for weapon selection!

This script will cause a loop crash if the server you play on disables the wait command with the sv_allow_wait_command 0 setting.

And so on , the fact that the UK server allows the wait command gives some people a huge advantage , it's almost cheating.

2. sv_pure list is not complete , letting the materials/models/player from harddrive and not from steam gives the opportunity for some people to wallhack with this cheat

Again , this is not detected as cheat by VAC2 , it may say on that website that it's detected but it's not , it's a skin and valve won't ban people for a skin , it's tested by me and it works.

My advise is to make the wait command 0 and make the server sv_pure 2 , this will block any cheat except the private ones.

Hope i hear soon from an admin.

Is it this way on all the servers Mana? I often wondered how some of the career demomen made their stickies explode almost in midair sometimes. It made it impossible to retreat from them at times.

sv_pure = 0

allows the client to specify the location of ANY game file. A client can potentially use modified files to gain an unfair advantage by doing things such as replacing enemy player models with ones that use bright colored skins, make walls invisible, add beacons onto the intelligence, or just about anything else you can think of. VAC doesn't protect against these kinds of exploits because they don't modify the game process itself. Its up to the server to decide what its clients can do.

sv_pure = 1

restricts where the client can get information from based on a white list. The default white list is still set to allow custom player models as well as any potential exploits such as bright skins.

sv_pure = 2

forces the client to ignore ALL user content, and instead use the information supplied by steam. While this is the most secure, sv_pure 2 will prevent the use of even custom sprays.

Default is enabled.

"sv_allow_wait_command" = "0" ( def. "1" )

I disabled it (when that update came out) on most of the servers, but have probably neglected to disable it on the UK servers. (It's meant to be disabled on all our servers)

There is a reason for the use of sv_pure 1.

The horse, the party hats and sometimes other things like the rocket propelled chainsaw (Soldier's rocket replacement) require the use of sv_pure 1. But the whitelist could be altered to block more content.

Thank you man , i searched for a secure server for a long time and finally i found this , then i came across some super players ( demomans and scouts ) and investigated why they are so good , never tought a script can do so much damage , again thank you for blocking this exploit.

The sv_pure 1 list i understand it now and you can't put sv_pure 2 , it practicly blocks the donors hats and all , let's hope not many people know about that wallhack , anyways , you can spot wallhackers pretty fast , at least i spot them.

Lotus servers rule !!!

When will the UK server be fixed ? it's still sv_allow wait command 1 , hope will be fixed soon , not that i don't have fun now .
