[Solved] Whitelist VAC banned players?

micazoid · **Author**

I have a server for Day of Defeat Source and a friend of mine was banned by VAC.

He pointed out to me, that his ban had nothing to do with hacking or cheating in game but with using a downloading client (like jdownloader) while he was playing, which was detected by VAC and resulted in his ban.

Since our community is very small and this friend (I know him personally and I think he will never cheat in the game(he is just to unskilled for this)) is an active member of the community, I searched some way to "whitelist" him, so he can join my VAC protected Server. Is there any plugin or way to do this?

I am running VAC Status Checker and was hoping, there is something similar to let him in even though he is banned by VAC

I googled it and found only threads about how to block them, but not how to let a certain player play

Edit:
Yes I know about this. It does not load

Thank you for your reply =)

Unfortunately it does not load. On sm plugins refresh (and server restart) it says:

"novac.smx: Unable to load plugin (no debug string table)"

I looked into sourcemod/gamedata/novac.games.txt and there is no section for Day of Defeat Source. Maybe because of that?

And I get the same error for nolobbyreservation.smx (which seems to be a dependend for novac?)

EDIT:
WOOPSIE - I am on SM 1.8 xD
I will update and report back, sorry

So I got novac no running but nolobbyreservation not. I think I do not need this, because of there is no lobby in DODS? Anyway here is errorlog:
