Never. Our largest map download is around 30Mb after being compressed.

They are checked when they spawn or if they are connecting with screen name of unconnected force by a cheat.

heya Tsunami,

Excuse me for being blunt, but I really do not give a ****** **** what 'they' think, the fact of the matter is 'they' were caught 'cheating'.

Instead of calling them names, a more constructive approach is to make them 'poop' themselves instead and what better way than telling them they are 'VAC banned'. (taking into account that they actually own the account they are using at that point in time)

Of course you or anyone else can later the source of the plugin to change the banning message, of which a suggestion might be "VAC Detected a TWAT"

Is it possible to add the BAN-Reason to a Cvar?

ex:

sm_vbac_banreason_cheat = "VBAC-Ban-Detected-Cheats"
sm_vbac_banreason_consistency = "VBAC-Ban-Detected-Consistency"

It's a nice idea to tell cheaters hi has a VAC-Ban!
As long it confuses the Fuc**** Cheater! :-)
But the #ATC number can have random number ^^

for this you have to enable MSQL or SouceBans.

[crazychicken]

ah ok how would i do that i read the thread and theres no how-to-for-idiots-like-me

[ulx]

the cvars for that are explained in the first post ... but for both methods a working MySQL database on a webserver is required. if you don't know what this is or how to setup such a database you might want to search other forums or use the plugin without logging functions

[crazychicken]

ok thx ulx, shame a simple log cant be kept
