Good work Luki! Your plugin is very useful.

[Velture]

Wow. Outstanding!

Into your server.cfg:

sv_maxrate 50000
sv_minrate 49998
sv_maxupdaterate 66
sv_minupdaterate 64
sv_mincmdrate 64
sv_maxcmdrate 66
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1

???

This plugin protect your server from client command spaming - rate cl_cmdrate cl_updaterate

You can use binds for testing:

bind "o" "cl_cmdrate 40 ; cl_updaterate 40 ; rate 30000"
bind "p" "cl_cmdrate 66 ; cl_updaterate 66 ; rate 60000"

what is the effect of this rate hack anyway? does it do anything bad to the server?

[Mariano]

If someone change rates dynamically during the game, it's more hard to hit him, because hitboxes start freaking out. Look at this topic on ETF2L forum, to learn about what's going on with this cheat:
