"Unix time" also goes by the name of "epoch time".

If you introduce the YYYY-MM-DD version, I'd say go for _date.

Let's go with sm_vacbans_vac_ignore_before.

[StevoTVR]

Updated to 2.1.0

Changes:

• Changed lookups to directly access the Steam Web API (requires key)
• Added sm_vacbans_vac_ignore_before to ignore VAC bans before a specific date
• Replaced sm_vacbans_action with sm_vacbans_actions for more options

Important: The plugin now requires an API key obtained from https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
Set it using this ConVar:

// The Steam Web API key used by VAC Status Checker
// -
// Default: ""
sm_vacbans_apikey ""

The sm_vacbans_action ConVar is now deprecated in favor of this new ConVar:

// Actions to take on detected clients
// Add up the options from the list:
// 1:  Log to sourcemod/logs/vacbans.log
// 2:  Kick
// 4:  Ban
// 8:  Display message to admins
// 16: Display message to all players
// -
// Default: "3"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "31.000000"
sm_vacbans_actions "3"

Attention translators: Updates are needed for the French and Russian translations.

Doubt, why this change, what is a difference, further improves the detection of banned players?

It doesn't rely on my own server, which is less stable than Valve's servers. It should improve speed and reliability of lookups.

I updated the old ConVar plugin was disabled correct, it is deprecated.

However, at the time of creating the configuration file it is also created with the new ConVar sm_vacbans_actions.

Would it be okay to delete it, since I deleted it since it is obsolete?

And the new ConVar, would have any problem in leaving blank or need to put some date?

sm_vacbans_action is obsolete but still works. You can remove it and use sm_vacbans_actions for more options.

You can leave sm_vacbans_vac_ignore_before empty if you don't want to use that feature.
