Currently if a civilian is in a server and a player from the opposing team (demo/soldier) is to kill/strike the civilian with the new Half-Zatoichi (Katana) weapon the server will immediately crash.

Is it possible that someone writes something to fix this issue? I don't even know if this is possible, but I saw that someone had written a fix for the medic amputator glitch (which valve now patched) and thought it wouldn't go a miss to just ask you guys.

I am sorry if I have posted in the wrong section.

Thanks in advance

This explains why I'm having to manually reboot my server 3-6 times a day. Valve is too busy pumping out "dem hats" to worry about such minuscule things obviously.

Sadly it does feel that way xomp

Man.. I just realized that I too created a thread in here on the subject lol *gonna have it deleted if I can* since this one was here first.

I found a couple players on the steam powered user forums bragging about going onto servers to exploit them for "teh lulz" and have banned them from my servers if anyone else wants to do it, here's their information.

Thank you for the heads up xomp. I have informed our my admins that there may be a high probability that players will go around trolling servers with the sole intent to crash them.

I found out about the problem in the Steam Forums (TF2) and when I went to check back on the thread it had been removed. Many members of the forums stated in that thread that they would go out and crash trading servers etc for the same reason.

What a shame really.

I had luck awhile back with detecting civilian as a person with no active weapon.

I've let both psychonic and asherkin know about the details on IRC as well. Me and psychonic did some quick testing on an idea earlier but it didn't fix the issue. It seems this is a sourcemod specific issue since the civilian glitch isn't an issue with a tf2 server running with no MM:SM so it's up to these guys to provide a fix (since Valve likely won't since it's not their issue).

Even for a quick fix of kicking players who go civilian or better yet, banning their ass would work until something better comes along. I've had to restart my servers soooooo much since the Shogun pack was released and god forbids if Facepunch finds out about it.

I think I was the one that helped you with that didn't I? back during the stored crits exploit by going civilian engy?

[Kevin_b_er]

Yeah, but I'm not sure if you are without an active weapon when scared/round end/bonked.

You could run this on a timer to get rid of Civilians in general

PHP Code:

for (new i=1; i <= GetMaxClients(); i++)
    {
        if(!IsValidEntity(i))
            continue;
        if(!IsPlayerAlive(i))
            continue;
        if(GetEntDataEnt2(i, FindSendPropInfo("CTFPlayer", "m_hActiveWeapon")) == -1)
            KickClient(i, "Civilian pose detected");
    }
