Any way to block animated sprays? As im not sure it's possible to detect gif's since these are vmt and vtf files players are using.

[MasterOfTheXP]

Animated sprays are made possible by modifying the spray's vmt...but it looks like the server packs vmt and vtf files together into one .dat file as soon as it gets them from clients.

@Mitchell
you take mine, I don't have time to fix later ^^

You could use a backend to analyze the spray, and then add its hash to mysql.

here some kind
anyone feel free to take and release new plugin and support, etc. etc.
*edit
this could also affect to other plugins which create TempEntity "Player Decals", just for hint.

Spoiler

This only works steampipe games which have this folder.
...download/user_custom/

Player *.dat file seems (now) store in folder what have two letters,
letters what have taken from file name ex.
download/user_custom/ab/ab36ce2e.dat

This works as long as server keep those players *.dat files.

If server not have this *.dat file, plugin fail check file size and allow pass spray and
But if players already have download this *.dat file before and extracted in they own game
...common\Counter-Strike Source\cstrike\materials\temp\36ce2e.vtf
You can't do much about it, server not store players *.vmt files.

The problem here is you are assuming they are saving the spray uing what? Dxt1 at256x256
Pretty much all custom sprays are 512x512 with mipmaps and most are dxt5 for transparency (256k+) some may even be bgra888 (512kb) for better quality.

Like Isaid, youll have to run a binary on yur server to analyze the file and check the frames, and send that to sql... Or write out a file.
