Update MM:S and SM to the latest releases.

instead of this plugin, you can use kac open beta and add to the server.cfg:

kac_addcvar cl_cmdrate greater kick 30

it will be kick clients with incorrect or lower than 30 cl_cmdrate

The reason your server hangs is probably due to your languages translation message is too long of a disconnect message and crashes the server/clients.

Try altering the translations file to make the kick/ban messages shorter and see if that helps.

I personally only tested the English version, since I wrote the plugin and its the only language I speak, so I asked others for their help with the translations.

If you can confirm the issue is with the length of the messages, please post some shorter ones and I will update the main posts translation file with the shorter messages.

Hi there,

there is a bug if u place a + before the cmdrate it kicks and dont let u on the server again until it is fixed.

On all other /*- etc. it kicks but you can reconnect. without any reaction.

I've made a tweak to your plugin for my own purposes, but I am sharing it here for others in case they find it useful.

In your version, it checks for any characters other than spaces, periods, and digits.

My version checks for anything that isn't a digit or period, and then if it's all numerical, it checks if the number is >= 30. A space in front of the cl_cmdrate (like cl_cmdrate " 30") will indeed affect ping-masking from my tests. The new regex also reflects that.

A very low cl_cmdrate will show an incorrect ping the same way other characters in the cl_cmdrate will. On a 100-tick server, with a cl_cmdrate of 10, my latency on the scoreboard goes to 5. 30 is the Valve default, so I figured it was a safe number to use, but even with a cl_cmdrate of 30, your ping shows somewhat lower than would be if you had a higher cl_cmdrate.

I changed your IsValidCmdRate function as follows:

Old:

bool:IsValidCmdRate( String:CmdRate[] )
{
	/* Check command rate for invalid characters. */
	new nMatches = SimpleRegexMatch( CmdRate, "[^\\d\\s\\.]+" );
	if( nMatches >= 1 )
		return false;
	return true;
}

New:

bool:IsValidCmdRate( String:CmdRate[] ) {
  /* Check command rate for invalid characters. */
  new nMatches = SimpleRegexMatch( CmdRate, "[^0-9.]" );
  if (nMatches == 0 && StringToInt(CmdRate) >= 30) {
    return true;
  }
  else {
    return false;
  }
}

I also changed the English translation for "Kicked By Rate" to "cl_cmdrate must be numbers only and 30+". Your original didn't fit in the little box that users are shown when they are kicked (in CS:S anyway), and this explains concisely what they need to do to get back. Previously when I've told people they have an incorrect cl_cmdrate or that they're ping-masking, many of them don't even understand what I'm talking about.

UPDATE:
I fixed my version to allow periods and allow numbers above 100.

You shouldn't check if cl_cmdrate is lower than some value. There is a server cvar sv_mincmdrate, which will enforce client cmdrate if it's lower than value of cvar.

[Mister_Magotchi]

You are incorrect. On my server, sv_mincmdrate is set to 45, and the server indeed forces the client to send updates at at least 45 per second, but it has no effect on ping-masking. For some reason, the game uses their actual typed value of cl_cmdrate to calculate latency as it's shown in the scoreboard.

Tank you! This is working fine!
