Jesus you guys dont know about this? About 1 in 10 people do this on my server, nobody gets 1-5 ping unless you are literally living right next to the server, or you are the host.

I guess you could just check for differences in the ping in respect to time, everbodys ping changes no matter how low it is, but with the cl_cmdrate set to 0 it wont budge, thats the thing to check for.

easy to detect it - but other than kicking/banning the player, there's nothing you can do.

GetClientInfo(client, "cl_interp", my_cl_interp, 9);
GetClientInfo(client, "cl_updaterate", my_cl_update, 9);
GetClientInfo(client, "cl_cmdrate",my_cl_cmd, 9);
GetClientInfo(client, "rate", my_rate, 9);

There shouldn't be any need to do any of this. Valve supplies sv_min* and sv_max* cvars for valid cmdrate ranges. If they're not working, post on hlds or hlds_linux mailing lists.

But if you still want to write your own solution, KMFrog is correct.

Er... My ping is frequently 5-15 on some of the servers I play on. And I don't think my neighbors are the ones hosting the server.
I wouldn't like to get kicked just for having good latency.

I can set cl_cmdrate to 999999 to fake my ping but the console will still show the max cl_cmdrate allowed on the server. I guess your suggestion wont work.

the code retrieves the client rate settings, its a copy and paste from a plugin so i can tell you it does work because ive been using it ;]

replace sv_mincmdrate value with non numbers. Like a space.

"30"
