[L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.3b) [20-Jul-2021]

About:

Suppresses specified messages from the server console. There is an extension for [ANY] game with the exact same functionality. I created this to demonstrate another method and because some [L4D/2] server owners don't look at stuff for [ANY] game and have been complaining about server console spam.

This only stops messages which are inside the games "server" or "engine" library if you specify that in the gamedata. This cannot suppress dynamic messages such as those from chat or plugins.

I would suggest using [ANY] Cleaner - Console warning supressor extension instead.

Adding Entries:

Open the gamedata .txt and duplicate the last entry from "Addresses" and "Signatures" sections.
When duplicating for example "SpamPatch_Sig1" you must change the number to be 1 more than the last entry.
If any numbers are missing it will stop looking for more, so the numbers must be sequential.
Enter the string you want to block from it's first character otherwise they still show in console.
The string should be long enough to be unique but is not required to be full length.

Changes:

Code:

1.3b (20-Jul-2021)

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.0) [01-Jun-2019]

Is this the role of reducing server crashes?
Or just filtering spam from the console?

Upload or PM me the config. Can't help otherwise.

I've tried to suppress this spam msg in the console when using this plugin https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=318033 and it doesn't seem to work. Did I set the config wrong?

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.1) [29-Jun-2019]

Theres nothing wrong with the config you posted. Whether it'll suppress the message I don't know.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.1) [29-Jun-2019]

You're right. I don't think this can suppress spam from the other plugin. I used the [ANY] Cleaner extension and it works.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.1) [29-Jun-2019]

Plugin doesn't patch Warning message:

Code:

WARNING: orator at {x, y, z} missing modelname

The string from the binary is "WARNING: %s at %.0f %.0f %0.f missing modelname".

Strings have to match whats in the server or engine binary (must be specified).

You can use something like IDA to view a list of strings. Or drag the binary into a text editor like Notepad++ and search for partial string names to find the exact one.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.1) [29-Jun-2019]

l4d_patch_console.txt has this section:

Code:

                        "SpamPatch_Sig14"

                        {

                                "library"                "server"

                                "windows"                "WARNING: orator at"

                                "linux"                        "WARNING: orator at"

                        }

But this doen't block message

Because "orator" is an entity named passed by the function which replaces %s. I showed you the proper string to use.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.1) [29-Jun-2019]

That is i paste this ?

Code:

                                "library" "server"

                                "windows" "WARNING: %s at %.0f %.0f %0.f missing modelname"

                                "linux" "WARNING: %s at %.0f %.0f %0.f missing modelname"

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.2) [10-May-2020]

found what after SpamPatch_Sig13 plugin stops import gamedata, same in windows and linux, you can view debug in this file(i've just add LogError("sTemp %s", sTemp); at 79 line after patchAddr = GameConfGetAddress(hGameData, sTemp);

EDIT:

i am think they stops because they not found phrase in library: after check server.dll i am not found phrases for this signatures:

"SpamPatch_Sig13"
{
"library" "server"
"windows" "SCRIPT PERF WARNING"
"linux" "SCRIPT PERF WARNING"
}
"SpamPatch_Sig14"
{
"library" "server"
"windows" "WARNING: orator at"
"linux" "WARNING: orator at"
}

after i am delete these signatures from gamedata it import correctly until the end.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Console Spam Patches (1.2) [10-May-2020]

also i am wanna request adding this

Code:

"SpamPatch_Sig20"

{

        "library"                 "engine"

        "windows"                "%s in solid list (not solid)"

        "linux"                        "%s in solid list (not solid)"

}

"SpamPatch_Sig21"

{

        "library"                 "engine"

        "windows"                "Entity %d (class '%s') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but '%s' changed."

        "linux"                        "Entity %d (class '%s') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but '%s' changed."

}

"%s in solid list (not solid)" - flush extreme spam if some physics entity go inside player for example

"Entity %d (class '%s') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but '%s' changed." - flush spam after exec code on player weapons for stop allow use them:

SetEntPropFloat(ent,Prop_Data,"m_flNextSecond aryAttack", 1.0);
SetEntPropFloat(ent,Prop_Data,"m_flNextPrimar yAttack", 1.0);

What exactly do you see? Console screenshot of the error might be better.

You did update the gamedata file to the latest version?

Edit: Have updated the gamedata with some changes.

This is a VScript error, not game engine error.
