Doesn't work in CSS for me, running windows server with latest update. It just gives a message to the client saying the link was blocked because it must start with "https://" or "about:blank". Even after changing to a fake https:// link the command is never executed when pressing ok.

This is slowhacking and not permitted here, and as 1337norway says, has been patched in most games for almost a decade.

Yeah you are right I didn't know that sorry. So can I change the plugin behavior to kick clients with a warning to set the value themselves ?

As long as nothing is actually "maliciously forced" with, but simply "requested", I'm all right with it.

There are a few other plugins to my knowledge, that is either limiting people to "stay" on the spectator team and/or kicking them, if the relevant setting isn't equal to the requested / wanted value, and such things would for example be fine in my opinion, as they require the player to manually perform the change of settings.

However, forcing (slowhacking) things onto users, isn't.

Thanks for information I didn't know valve rules well.


Updated, New version (2.0.0) works with just checking and warning the client method. Please check the source and approve it.

Thanks for updating it - please attach the .sp file directly rather than the zip, the forum will take care of compiling it and the config file will be generated automatically.

YW. OK, Thanks for help. I just did it for the convenience of the users. Now the source file is attached.
