SMAC parts broken sinced the last css update?

pubhero · **Author**

SMAC team.
It seems like some smac parts not working correctly sinced the last CSS update (04.16).

The smac_client module not working correctly. 100%
Nothing not do if the convar value less than smac_antispam_connect 6
My server crashing again and again because some idiot play this in all seconds:
connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Crash ......
If you give upper value for the smac_antispam_connect than 5 and you trying reconnect again and again, the first and second reconnect do nothing. From the third reconnect you got the ip ban, but not in the selected value. I used smac_antispam_connect 6 value and got cca. 1 minute ip ban. Connect extension installed and run.

Code:

[14] Connect (1.2.0): Forward for early connection

Another thing. After the update i never not see in my logs eyetest or aimbot bans. My cfg are good 100%. Before the update i see in my logs minimum 5-10 aimbot and eyetest bans / day. After the update = 0 ban.
Anyone can check these things?
I using the latest SMAC release.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope i was understandable.

I've seen dozens of bans following the update.

My tests indicate this feature works fine.

I wasn't using this extension for my tests. So I'm thinking the crashes may be related to the extension. Can check whether the crashes subside after disabling it?

Simply spam retry into console.

Wait.
This module not needed connect extension, against the connection spammers?
I using that because:

Code:

Connect Support

  This module also has support for the Connect extension  to block advanced spam attacks on newer source games. The Connect  extension cannot run alongside the CBaseServer extension. Uninstall  CBaseServer if you want to run Connect.
 Hacker0 (ID: STEAM_0:0:1234567890 | IP: 123.123.123.123) was temporarily banned for connection spam.

I tried. Same thing happens with or without the connect extension.
I tryed the retry command too, but same thing. No reaction if the convar's value less than 5-6.

No.

The connect extension is only needed for certain types of attacks. It allows you to block them before they take up server slots.

You will not need it for basic connect spamming.

I understand you, but this thing happens with or without that extension too.

my smac.cfg

sm exts list

sm plugins list

meta list

meta version

sm version

game version

Linux.

Cheats need time to be updated for game updates too.

Did you double check that the extension really isn't running with sm exts list? Otherwise the crash issue must be somewhere else.

I updated my previous post with my full cfg.
I have no problem with the normal players. Just some loser troll try crashing one of my servers, with that sh*t reconnect exploit.
