ConVar Checker question

jackliu92 · **Author**

First question is if I enforced a cvar for example:

Code:

"sv_use_steam_voice" = "0" ( def. "1" )
- Enable/disable using Steam Voice instead of the old voice codec (if enabled, voice_inputfromfile will no longer function).
 
"sv_allow_voice_from_file" = "0"
 replicated
 - Allow or disallow clients from using voice_inputfromfile on this server.
 
"voice_inputfromfile" = "0"
 - Get voice input from 'voice_input.wav' rather than from the microphone.

The some of the default is 1, but i wanted to enforce it to 0, but all the clients have 1 as default, will everone get kick because they have 1? or the plugin will try to reset this cvar to 0 but if failed then kick/ban/mute or w/e???

Also, if you have a better suggestion about keeping mic spammer away please reply! Thank you!

sv_* convars are server side convars, no need to monitor them or set them at clients because the clients will read those of the server, and act accordingly.
You only have to set those convars on your server.

the voice_inputfromfile var is clientside, I guess you can go protect that one, its default 0, so most wont notice, but the ones that try to use that.

I know there is somewhere a HLDJ protection plugin, did you have a look at that?

Yea, I did look at that, the author told me that the plugin is no longer supported. He uses sv_allow_voice_from_file 0 instead.

Yes, sv_cheats is monitored. So I guess users can use 3rd program to force a sv_ cvar? Maybe it is necessary to add it to the protection list.
