HLTV Report

Current Version: 1.1.1


Description:

Record Demos with a rcon controlled HLTV server.

Features:

- HLTV server only connected when recording a demo
- started by say command or menu.
- menu to choose the player you want to report, and the reason why.
- all actions will be stored to a simple logfile, and optional in a mysql database.
- simple web part to show and download the demos and status changing added
- automatic steambans support (sb_status will be executed every 120 sec. while recording)
- hostname from HLTV server randomly changed (from hltv_names.cfg)
- if reported player leaves server, hltv stops

Required:

- Socket Module
- SQL Module (optional)
- working 1.6 server with at least amxmodx 1.8 (1.76 still work since 0.99RC2)
- running HLTV Server
- MySQL Server (at least v4.1!)

Installation:

- all .cfg files goes to /configs/hltv_report/
- hltv_report.amxx goes to /plugins/
- hltv_report.txt goes do /data/lang/
- see #define´s and change to your needs
- open /configs/hltv_report/sql.cfg and edit your sql settings (if not exists, default sql settings will be loaded)

Set up your HLTV server:

this cvars needed for work (goes in your hltv.cfg, if don´t exist, create it):

- adminpassword <pw> - the “rcon” password from your hltv server

Other interesting cvars:

- maxclients <n> - set spectator number limit for this proxy (default 120 )
- spectatorpassword <pw> - “sv_password” for your hltv

Any other hltv-cvars not needed for working, so change to whatever you want.
Start your HLTV server, example linux:

./hltv -ip 123.123.123.123 -port 27050

Would start your hltv with ip 123.123.123.123 and port 27050

FAQ:

Q: Where I can find the recorded demos?
A: They will be saved in the /cstrike/ folder from your HLTV server

Q: Can I use this demos for steambans?
A: Yes, if your server runs steambans, “sb_status” will be executed every 120sec. If not, only “status” will be sent.

Q: My server is full, the HLTV server can´t connect.
A: Add your HLTV server to your admin list, with access “ab” (by IP)

Q: I often change sv_password on my game server, is this a problem for the HLTV?
A: No, plugin is detecting sv_password.

The End:

currently it runs on my 2 servers without problems since a few month.
feel free helping me optimizing the code.
the added webpart is only a simple example, how you can use this on your hp.
a new webpart is currently at work who can access your demos through ftp.
see updated webpart link.

[Mordekay]

Could you add a cvar if the hltvserver should do status or sb_status (for steambans servers) to identify the cheater?

[|PJ| Shorty]

this would be possible, but (what i know) steambans (currently) don´t accept hltv demos.
so at the moment it´s useless.

[Mordekay]

Well, but i know they WILL accept them soon. Problem was that with the old HLTVconsole sb_status was not possible. (afaik) That was the reason to not accept them as we coudn't get a proof for the suspected steam-id and they moslty had bad rates, so they sucked in case of suspected aimbot.

[|PJ| Shorty]

thx for your link over pm, will be added to next version

[Mordekay]

Thx. If this is finished i will setup a HLTV server to record cheaters with it. Thi is imo better than running it all the time and wasting ressources.

[grimvh2]

Looks good

[chris]

Couldn't this plugin be easily spammed?

[|PJ| Shorty]

new version, 0.96RC1

- added steambans support (auto, no need to change something)
- some liddle improvements
