[L4D1/2] Thirdpersonshoulder Block (1.3 - Updated September 11, 2011)
2 Attachment(s)
[L4D1/2] Thirdpersonshoulder Block My first plugin. :3 Description: This plugin will kick clients who use the "thirdpersonshoulder" command to engage in thirdperson in Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2. While VALVe has tried to patch this in an earlier update (making the thirdpersonshoulder command having no effect in competitive gamemodes), there is still a way around to use it with a custom *.vkp addon. This is bad, because there are numerous ways how thirdpersonshoulder can be used to gain advantages in Versus and similar gamemodes, so to say, cheat. Using thirdpersonshoulder, it is possible to look around corners without exposing yourself, generally being able to see what is around and behind you all the time, letting you defend yourself a lot more efficiently, and in the worst case, manipulating the thirdperson camera position. It is possible to look on the map from above, spotting hunters on rooftops before they initiate their highpounce, looking around in the map searching for items without even going there, and even look straight through walls and shooting infected behind it, pretty much wallhack. It is also possible to bypass the fog/rain on the Hard Rain campaign for example that normally stops snipers from shooting targets at a far range. To prevent stuff like this:

Such a client will still be kicked when he joins the server, but he can fix the cvar once and will be able to play without problems afterwards. Unfortunately there is no other way to check for thirdperson, and there is no easy way anymore for servers to execute commands on clients (such as resetting the cvar for the client). Console variables: Just the version cvar so far.

I bet its extremely rare for this to be abused, and even when it is, its not like they can shoot you once they've messed up their view...
and third person mode has its drawbacks, such as not being able to shoot perfectly straight, no matter what the parameters are set to. Still useful if you dont like thirdperson at all, but i dont mind it :P |

Also, their view won't be messed up, you can change a few variables to set how the thirdpersonshoulder camera is positioned, and it's very well playable. There are drawbacks like the crosshair normally not being 100% accurate, but it's negligible when you adjust the variables correctly, and the advantages are quite huge. And keep in mind that on top of that, they can manipulate it to wallhack etc... hm maybe I should make an exemplary video of that. |

Haha this caught a person on mine last night... he swore blind he wasnt using it so I asked him to send me his autoexec conf and there it was right at the top :D
Either he didnt know or he was just playing dumb but in anycase pretty awesome plugin :D |
Re: [L4D1/2] Thirdpersonshoulder Block (1.3 - Updated September 11, 2011)
Instead of being kicked can the plugin force the cvar onto the client? or disable something so thirdperson can't be used? Because people don't understand the kick message. They're not fluent in English.
Or can you allow us to change the kick message? |
