This doesn't appear to be working on my tf2 server any more. It could have been broken with the last tf2 update. Can any one confirm this?

[Jamster]

Just set sv_allow_voice_from_file 0

This was a great plugin for TF2 but is not needed for it now (handy for other games though).

Does that disable people using their mic all together?

edit: just read that it disables such programs like HLSS and HLDJ - but how does it prevent people from playing music over their mic by just putting there mic to their speakers?

this plugin never prevented anyone from putting their mic next to their speaker either.

But I had it set to mute people if they had their mic on for more than 30 seconds. Which meant they were mic spamming, or accidentally pressing their mic button... Never had problems though

I noticed right away I had mic spammers in the server after the update came out

what cvar were you using to accomplish this.

[log1k]

• sm_micspam_threshold default: 3
  • The time, in seconds, a player can play a sound before punishment is taken. For example, if you set this value to 0, any micspam will trigger punishment (as long as it's long enough to be caught by the plugin - half a second or so). Setting it higher allows players to play short sounds without punishment.

set that to 30.

That's what this plugin was made for... O_o

Anti-Micspam automates the process of detecting and punishing players who excessively playback prerecorded audio over in-game VOIP such as with HLSS or HLDJ

all this plugin did was to check if the if the cvar voice_inputfromfile was being used by a player, if it was, then it was only able to be used for the duration you had set in your cfg which was 30. in no way did this plugin mute people who talked longer then 30 seconds or held their mic up to their speakers. I had mine set up for 0 until valve released the update a few months ago and this plugin is no longer needed.

[Jamster]

yeah, it doesn't do shit for normal voice, as it says in the OP it's purely for audio file spamming

[log1k]

oh ok, thanks for that then. I didn't know the specifics. On a side note, I tried that command in console and it didn't work. Gave me some error..

edit: this error


Can't change replicated ConVar sv_allow_voice_from_file from console of client, only server operator can change its value

Am I just a noob at this stuff? or is it something I'm missing O_o
