RateChecker
 

Basic Rate Checking Plugin.

Type sm_rate <name or #userid> (!rate and /rate obviously work too)

To display a panel showing that user's rates. Next and previous buttons let you browse through all the current players rates.
Typing sm_rate with no parameter will show your own rates.

Type sm_ratelist to print all players rates to console

Re: RateChecker
 

Approved. Good job.

Re: RateChecker
 

Could we get a cvar/different command to print the info to the console (server or client)? I used to use the ma_rates command in console from HLSW to see the rates of all of the players, and if it wouldn't be too difficult... :) Thanks!

Re: RateChecker
 

Yup it's on my todo list.. gimme a day.

Re: RateChecker
 

Does this display the actual rates after server enforced rates have been applied or just the player's setting from their config before the restrictions?

And what I mean by restricted rates is sv_minupdaterate, sv_mincmdrate, etc...

Sooooo many server admins are mistaking that the enforced rates are not working because commands such as ma_rates in Mani Admin are reporting only what's in the user's config, not the actual rates, and they are relying on that falsified information.

Re: RateChecker
 

I Just Tested This And It Doesnt Show Enforced Settings From Server , Only Whats In Users Config ..

Re: RateChecker
 

Which is what it's suppose to do.

Re: RateChecker
 

was answering the post above mine :)

Re: RateChecker
 

I should read.

Re: RateChecker
 

Updated with sm_ratelist command.

Re: RateChecker
 

Which sadly makes this plugin essentially useless unless you don't enforce rates on your server...

Re: RateChecker
 

I don't really understand that..

Your enforced rates should be set reasonably generous in both directions to allow 56k player and people with awesome cable like connections to have suitable rates. (unless you're one of those server admins who think that 56k players lag other people..). The enforced server rates should prevent people from using ridiculously stupid rates and the rate checker (along with their ping) should help you identfy people using incorrect rates for their connection (whether it be malicious or just ignorant) and tell them what to do to fix it.

Re: RateChecker
 

Anyway just want to say I like this a lot. Thx for the Job

Re: RateChecker
 

thx alot pred, good job.:up:

Re: RateChecker
 

can this plugin be made to allow all users to check what other users rates are as well as what the servers rates are, ie sys_ticrate,sv_maxrate,sv_minrate,sv_minupdat erate.

very nice indeed :)

Re: RateChecker
 

i loaded this onto our server again and although everything seems to be workin ok i noticed the followin in the output in console


] sm_ratelist
Unknown command: sm_ratelist <<<< this one
Name Rate UpdateRate CmdRate Interp
{dbh-Bot} Grover 30000 20
{dbh-Bot} Foo-foo 30000 20
{dbh} K³®mî† 30000 66 66 0.033

dunno why it says unknown but straight after it executes the cmds very weird

Re: RateChecker
 

Great plugin, think this will be beneficial and should be added to the sourcemod base IMO

Re: RateChecker
 

We have a Member on dialup. Hahahaha.. I know it sucks, but he has been with us for years. Is there a config or something that is setting rates to the max? He says his are being changed and causing him much lag. I ask this because he had no probs untill i put your plugin on server. I thought it only allowed you to check rates not set them.

Re: RateChecker
 

this only views rates... Doesn't set or force anything...

Re: RateChecker
 

Thanks for the reply. It must have been the latest steam update, because something sets rates to the max.

Re: RateChecker
 

Nice addition Pred, just added to ours!

Re: RateChecker
 

handy script , thankyou.
Is there a way to also add !rates as most people seem to type that not !rate

Re: RateChecker
 

Would be cool if it showed their SteamID as well. Also maybe format it a little better so things aren't jumbled up and are more easily read.

Re: RateChecker
 

Seems to be working perfect for TF2.

Re: RateChecker
 

The interp isnt working correctly maybe you can take a look.

Re: RateChecker
 

Is there a way of making this admin accessable only. Although i dont mind the players being able to do it, so far all its done is caused ppl who dont understand rates to bitch about ppl who have slightly different ones.
Was ma_rates admin only hmm?!

Re: RateChecker
 

Simple quick fix just inform the few players that moan why various players rates are different to others rather than hide them.

Re: RateChecker
 

yes use overrides and bind it to the admin flag b. Then only admins can use it.

Open admin_overrides.cfg and put this in it:

Matt

Re: RateChecker
 

You're a star thx. Sorry source noob here

Re: RateChecker
 

Didnt seem to work putting it in admin_overrides, non admins can still use it :S

Re: RateChecker
 

Oops use this

some n00b put rates instead of rate :-)

Matt

Re: RateChecker
 

Is this plugin avilable for HL1 mods and if it isn't can you please make it so.
Also it would really be nice if it showed the servers maxrates and ticrate as well.

Re: RateChecker
 

prED you should update this if possible to make it for admins only (as cvar or something).

Re: RateChecker
 

Hi.

Hm, I'm not prED - but anyways, I can help you ;)

What you have to do:

Open the file "ratechecker.sp" (i.e. with Notepad)

Search this (line #39):
"RegConsoleCmd("sm_rate", Cmd_Rate)"

And replace it with:
RegAdminCmd("sm_rate", Cmd_Rate, ADMFLAG_GENERIC)

That's it... Now the "sm_rate" command is for generic admins only (b).
Fine, I have attached the file for the lazy guys out there xD).

Re: RateChecker
 

or you can use access override ;)

Re: RateChecker
 

hi,
when i compile that plugin i get a error :

Warning 234 : symbol "SearchForClients" is marked as deprecated: Use Fintarget () or ProcessTargetString()

what does this mean, is there en solution to compile without an error ?

Greats

Re: RateChecker
 

It's nothing you need to worry about. The function is no longer used, but will still work. The compiler is just telling you that a newer, better function has been released since then. Like I said, nothing to worry about.

Re: RateChecker
 

Hi,

I have modified the plugin so it also shows the actual values (not only the values of the CVARS which will might be overridden by server restrictions) and some additional information like loss and choke. Maybe you can integrate it into the "official" version?

Thanks for the great plugin!

BE

Re: RateChecker
 

tested and i say nice ^^

Re: RateChecker
 

I've made a tiny tiny change to it on line 61 to include some spacing after the player name, so it's a bit easier to read:

PrintToConsole(client,"%30s %s %s %s %s",name,rate,update,cmd,interp)
