Hi, in the last two days we have had some clients spamming those commands like crazy, thus lagging the server:

SM] The current server time is 08/01/2013 - 19:030
[SM] Cambio de mapa cuando un equipo llegue a 21 rondas
[SM] The current map is de_dust2.
[SM] Proximo mapa: de_dust2
[SM] Friendly Fire ON.
[SM] Proximo mapa: de_dust2
[SM] The current server time is 08/01/2013 - 19:030
[SM] The current server time is 08/01/2013 - 19:031
[SM] Cambio de mapa cuando un equipo llegue a 21 rondas
[SM] The current map is de_dust2.
[SM] Proximo mapa: de_dust2
[SM] Friendly Fire ON.

[SM] The current map is de_dust2.
[SM] Proximo mapa: de_dust2
[SM] Friendly Fire ON.

[SM] Cambio de mapa cuando un equipo llegue a 21 rondas
[SM] The current map is de_dust2.


and so on.

Is there a way to prevent this using smac? We have all modules loaded, including the command monitor one. If this module can take care of this issue, what should I put on my cfg to make this stuff stop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

if these are simple chat commands can you gag them or maybe enable the anti-flood plugin? or even temp ban after a respectful warning

[eyes of hunter]

The antiflood plugins is enabled, as well as foorlix lood checker, but nothing seems to work. Right now I hade disabled basetriggers, but I'd prefer a solution that allows me to have it back. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the feedback.

Permaban fixed the problem for me once I found out who it was, would be nice to have something implented though

[eyes of hunter]

I don't know what that module would be looking for. I think nextmap, thetime, ff and timeleft are not client cvars, are they?

[Ade]

what about smac_addcvar from smac_cvars.smx

wooo i can finally delete my posts
ok sry, maybe smac_addcmd from smac_commands.smx

EDIT: i found this in my logs tho: [smac_commands.smx | 0.8.4.0] bla (ID: STEAM_0:1:bla | IP: bla) was kicked for command spamming: timeleft
are you sure that's what's lagging your server?

[eyes of hunter]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those commands are what the players were spamming, thus making the console to print the stuff I posted. The commands module has detected spam like the one you point, but in the last two days somebody must have found a new method or something, I don't know.

I've also used smac_addcmd timeleft, or nextmap, but it doesn't prevent them from showing.

[Ade]

printing stuff in console does not equal lag did you visually see spikes?

my point was that if indeed it becomes spam, that plugin can actually kick; maybe lower the number for smac_antispam_cmds

[eyes of hunter]

Yeah, the server started to lag big time when that stuff started.

I'll try to lower the number of cmds required to kick, proved it doesn't interefere with regular gameplay. If I set it to say 10, is there any chance a legit player gets kicked during normal play?

[Ade]

if he can push that bind more than 10 times per second lol

well maybe u were being attacked, or maybe ur internet was bad u shud try to reproduce that, cus like I said, timeleft spam should result in a kick
and u can always temp ban, on spot or after.. if u see logs u also see steamid ;)
