Reply With Quote #1

Hello, hl2dm servers use smac-cvars on competive servers to limit some cvars and some people have mistakes in their cfg, so they get kicked with message "corrupted client". But players can't understand what is the problem, SMAC does not say which CVAR returns weird value.
I will give you example:

L 03/15/2014 - 19:09:09: [smac_cvars.smx | 0.8.5.1] Ramzy (ID: STEAM_0:10548104 | IP: 194.247.190.47) was kicked for returning a corrupted value on rate (rate), value set at "100000" cl_cmdrate "66" cl_updaterate "66" cl_interp "0.033380" cl_interp_ratio "1" cl_smooth "1" cl_smoothtime "0.1" (expected "80000").
As you can see this players had troubles with quotes in cfg and has a long strin in his "rate" convar. Smac gets the reply from client and can't compare it to allowed bounds and kick client saying "Cleint corrupted". People start to reinstall steam and the game, they do not understand what is wrong.
I suggest to SMAC developrs to improve the message player gets explaining which cvar has trouble.
Now only admins in logs can see what is wrong ;(
