Config Fixer v1.2 - n0br41ner

n0br41ner · **Plugin Info:**

Config Fixer:
--------------------

This plugin will give the admins the ability to fix a user's config, returning it to default. This is very useful for players that have been slowhacked to advertise servers without their approval. This plugin will not execute any command until the player has agreed to the fix. The player also has the ability to type /fixconfig to fix his own config.
Added a command amx_displaycommand <name> that will display the command to the player in the middle of the screen as a hudmessage.

Note: I hope this plugin won't get trashed because it is not a slowhack plugin, that's why the user has to accept before any changes take place.

Commands:
-------------

amx_fixconfig <name> - Fixes a users config
amx_displaycommand <name> - Displays the command to the player
say /fixconfig - Fix your own config by yourself

Cvars:
--------
None

Installation:
--------------

My logic is: "Why block the spam when you can put an end to it?"
You might say that getting rid of the spam is as easy as deleting your config.cfg file. You are right. But you have to think about all the new players that honestly don't know how to do anything in CS except buy a weapon and fire.

Way before when i first started playing CS, i was ignorant when it came to these stuff (4 years ago or so), and every time i got slowhacked, i used to re-install CS, witch is a time consuming process. Also, most of the players - and i do mean MOST - do not know how to even toggle the console to even change the binds.

As you can see from the code pretty clearly, that all the executed commands are the default ones. Therefore no harm is actually being done to the player.

I really do not believe that this plugin is a slowhack plugin, since:
#1 the user has a choice to accept or not to accept the fix
#2 all executed commands are the default ones
#3 this plugin was made with the intention to help players who got slowhacked

I accept the fact that this plugin might be against the rules, and that's why i made it in a way that the admin executing the command does not have the higher privilege and that the user is the one who decides at the end.
Also about the punishment for declining the fix is understandable seeing that most server owners won't want advertisers on their servers, and because it was not their fault they are advertising, hence this plugin.

Before i published this plugin, i clearly sent ConnorMcLeod a private message asking if this plugin is violating any rules.
Also this plugin is some what similar to this one i think, and it got approved.
I am not making judgments here but what do you think about the Exec plugins here and here. The admin can clearly execute commands on their approval.

And what was his answer?

Suggestions (maybe requirements):
1) Remove the Admin functionality. Require the Client to initiate the change.
2) Fix your permissions menu to be more clear. Your plugin does not just remove "automated spam", rebinds every key, so you need to tell the user that before you execute the commands. OR, ask permission for EACH change you make (preferred)
3) Do not set CVARs. If you do, you must specifically ask permission for those as they are not defaults nor do they have anything to do with automated spam.
4) Do not store the CVAR values, retrieve them when you need them, it is more accurate.
5) If 2 different Admins execute the command before any player makes a decision, the last Admin who used the command will get the responses for both players.
6) Remove the punishments. Or at least the Ban punishment

1) Could do, by i really think that the admin command should stay, because most of the time the players that have the automated spam does not know that there is such a command.
2) Stating all the binds will take so much space, maybe tell the user that all his binds are defaulted?
3) I don't get what you mean, if a player does not have automated spam, the admin should not issue the command on him
4) Sure thing.
5) Will try to fix it.
6) Ban removed.

Update will come out when it is done.

1) Maybe it is just me, I personally believe the Admins shouldn't have any control over it at all. There should be a client command that the Admin instructs the user to execute with an "Are you sure" type of menu to make sure that is what the user wants. But, this is just my preference

2) What I meant was to rephrase your menu title. Example below
From

PHP Code:


			
new menu = menu_create("\rAn admin has requested to clear your automatic spam:", "HandleMenu" );

To

PHP Code:


			
new menu = menu_create("\rAn admin has requested to reset your binds back to default:", "HandleMenu" );

3) You are setting CVARs on the client that you have no business setting

Code:

rate 9999;
cl_cmdrate 30;
cl_updaterate 30;
con_color ^"255 180 30^";
fps_max 100.0;
gl_flipmatrix 0;

7) You are missing the bind for slot10

Please note that I have not checked your binds for accuracy. Below are the default binds in CS, just in case someone wants to check them

Spoiler

1) Can i keep the command as it is, or should i make the command only display the command to use for the user?

2) Done.

3) Removed.

7) I remember removing it because after testing the plugin on myself, i used to get an error in the console. I'll look into it.

Also i will double check the binds, but i am pretty sure they are all defaulted.
