    This simple plugin blocks a griefer's attempt to spawn unlimited Special Infected in Versus mode. They are given warnings, and if they exceed the warning amount, they are banned for a period of time. Warning and ban time are all set by cvars.

    This plugin is a MUST HAVE for L4D server admins, as this can ruin a Versus game until Valve patches this permenantly.

    Cvars
    sm_blockbot_version - Plugin version
    sm_blockbot_warnings - Warnings given until ban. Default: 3
    sm_blockbot_banlength - Ban length in minutes. Default: 10

    Simply put in your plugins folder and reload plugins.

    Screenshot of the warning:

    Changelog
    -- 1.0.0 (1/7/09)
    Initial release!

    Special thanks to Cyan Blues for helping me test.

    Assuming that banning works properly (using BanClient() ) it should. I know I have stopped more than a few people myself today after writing and installing this, so it should work as advertised. If you do have issues, let me know and I will definitely look into this.

    Yeah I know that there are other fairly similar plugins, and I don't really care if this gets disapproved, I just wanted to make it available for others to use if they want it. Plus the others don't have cvars for warnings (or have warnings I think?) and bantime.

    it would be really be nice if instead of creating a new plugin that you just suggest the idea to the author and why not pm him some code.

    To have the choice between two plugins could be useful but 3 .....

    Collaborative work.

    One of them are free to use my code. Again, I just posted this here because it works for me and it's what I've been using.

    yesterday i had a server crash. following lines are in the sourcemod errorlog:

    Code:
    L 01/13/2009 - 21:41:49: SourceMod error session started
    L 01/13/2009 - 21:41:49: Info (map "l4d_vs_hospital05_rooftop") (file "errors_20090113.log")
    L 01/13/2009 - 21:41:49: [SM] Native "PrintHintText" reported: Client 6 is not in game
    L 01/13/2009 - 21:41:49: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "l4d_blockbot.smx":

    syslog ubuntu:

    Code:
    Jan 13 21:41:49 CT780 kernel: [606753.385140] srcds_i486[11545]: segfault at 0 rip 0 rsp ffe4fb6c error 14
    has the crash been generated through your plugin? or in general, by sourcemod? the srcds logs haven't got any additional infos about the crash.

    Weird, I haven't gotten any crashes from this. I am going to wait until after the impending L4D update to bother updating this plugin, since it is very possible that Valve will fix this.
