Overlay problem

[vistavsxp]

Hi! :)
There is one problem with zombie:reloaded
overlays isnt working unless this cvar is set to 1

cl_restrict_server_commands

and this cvar cl_restrict_server_commands isnt working unless
sv_cheats is set to 1! :|
and if sv_cheats is set to 1 then server will be cheaters paradise :cry:
Can't use cheat command r_screenoverlay in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.

On my client that cvar doesn't even exist, and overlays work fine. And there's no need or reason to turn on sv_cheats. Btw, it doesn't make any sense. Overlays should not work if server commands are restricted.

You better update your client/server. That cvar was removed in 2007. Here's a quote from the CS: Source changelog for June 12, 2007:
Removed cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent clients from being redirected

Yeah it seems that your client is way out of date. After they removed that cvar they put r_screenoverlay on a white list that would allow servers to execute it on the client.

If he is using a genuine Steam copy, it would not let him play with an out-of-date client.

I know, but I don't ask questions I dont need to ask ;)

But why bother supporting someone who doesn't even bother to purchase the game?

Client issue...get a new client. Had the same problem. Now it's working flawless.

I'm am pretty sure you can do overlays with temporary entities as well.
