Here's a really simple one; while developing a nasty name filter I's neccessary to change you name various times; this becomes a real pain in the ass while testing if I had to reconnect every dam time. Additionally there are plenty of us who may want to change our name more then once per connection\map. Putting on an admining tag comes to mind, as does renaming others who may have filthy or offensive names.
I suggest flexibility in whatever solution is deployed not some hardcoded valve enforced limit of 1 or 2.. make it configurable, that way folks like yourself get what you want and folks with other ideas get what they want. "fixing" this via a brute force limiting it to 1 is just asinine imho, though I'm sure you meant well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darren Mason Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 5:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit Kevin, Could you please shed some light on this. I am sure there are several here who would love to be aware of "situations" where changing your name more than 1x per map would be necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Napier, Kevin Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit There are quite a few instance where that is not true.

Perhaps a default value of 1x per map, with config entry to modify if desired. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CHiLLZ Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 10:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Name change exploit I would say once per minute is plenty. If Valve could help us with that, it would be extremely useful. - CHiLLZ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 3:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Name change exploit It's CS:S that is being referred to. One of the newly released hacks out now is a speedhack that will also grab every username on the server, and change that players name to a slight variation of each one, once a second. Something like a cvar that admins can set or something hard-coded to where either 1) the name-change allowed every X seconds is increased significantly or 2) only X amount of name changes allowed per round or (more ideally) per map would be nice. And here's hoping that VAC2 comes out soon - the hacks and cheats have become very bad recently, and are now widespread. - K2 http://www.hardfought.org "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What mod are you talking about?
