[CSS] cWar : Competitive CVAR blocking and War admin plugin

Carolus · **Author**

This plugin is an attempt to enforce all cvars to their best values regarding competitive gameplay.
It fulfills most of the functionality the old zBlock had and adds an easy match mode.

Features :
- Enforces a list of cvars (see below)
- Forces correct rates and interpolation settings
- Blocks bunnyhopping in an effective and gentle way
- Automatic sourceTV recording
- Automaticly ends sourceTV and match when server is empty/when match ends
- Displays the current score at round end
- Displays team's cash at round start
- All players can see rate settings (cw_rates)
- Admins can change maps
- Admins can list all available maps
- Admins can change sv_password
- Admins can talk as console
- cWar can auto-change sv_password back to default when server is empty again
- Admins can kick Ts, CTs, non-admins or use the status console command to kick a specific userid
- Admins can ban (5min) Ts, CTs, non-admins or use the status console command to ban a specific userid

- Complete match mode :

You can start the match using cw_match 15, this will auto lo3
Once you reach the half time, teams are swapped.
The plugin then waits for cw_match_continue, this will auto lo3
When a team wins the match, the score is displayed.
You can always use cw_match_end to force it to end.

The following CVAR values are enforced :

Code:

sv_cheats 0   
   sv_minrate 35000
   sv_maxrate 80000
   sv_mincmdrate <tickrate>
   sv_minupdaterate <tickrate>

   sv_maxupdaterate <tickrate>

Hi, has anyone had the time to test it?

It might help if you post the .sp on these forums, people are a surprisingly lazy bunch and having to track the source down on a separate site could deter some.

Will do. I did find a minor bug yesterday, so I'll fix that first.

Fixed a bug where cw_rates wouldn't print anything to the console.
Attached files so they can be downloaded from here.

Please test it and tell me what you think!

By the way, when I use several PrintToConsole(..) it seems to deliver the messages in a "random" (asynchroneous?) way.
Is this standard behavior or am I missing something here?
Example :

Code:

PrintToConsole(client, "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
PrintToConsole(client, "cWar Plugin v1.1.3 ( http://www.caroswar.tk )");
PrintToConsole(client,"   - cWar -");
PrintToConsole(client,"cWar : You can view cWar's status by typing cw_status in console.");
PrintToConsole(client,"   - Rates -");
PrintToConsole(client,"cWar : You can inspect rates by typing cw_rates in console.");
PrintToConsole(client,"   - Match -");
PrintToConsole(client,"cWar : You can start a match by typing cw_match <maxrounds> in console. Example: cw_match 15 ");

becomes

Code:

cWar Plugin v1.1.3 ( http://www.caroswar.tk )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   - cWar -
cWar : You can view cWar's status by typing cw_status in console.
cWar : You can inspect rates by typing cw_rates in console.
   - Rates -
   - Match -
cWar : You can start a match by typing cw_match <maxrounds> in console. Example: cw_match 15

Notice how the messages are "scrambled".
