Ive been trying to find a workaround for this limitation, but have had no luck. There does not seem to be any way to disable the console, suppress console feedback (even temporarily), or any way to silently execute files. Executing the file via the commandline, console, having the file inside another file and executing that parent file etc all return the same buffer overflow problem. Apparently this is a known issue by Valve, and a fix would be good, because besides rendering a decent banlist useless (since you cant execute it - and no, splitting the banlist into several files is not an acceptable fix), even some user created scripts/config files are too large to be executed. Valve, if there is a way we can suppress console feedback, or adjust the amount of permitted buffer space in the console just so the file can be run, please let us know.
