I don't know where I got that advice to use that sv_secure "1" CVAR in my autoexec.cfg file, but I have had it in there (and only there) for months, with no apparent ill effect. So now I have one more question about this.
Since I updated my HL2DM & HL2-Promod HLDS /bin/engine.dll with the last CS:S updatetool patch, and removed the -vacbeta from the command launch line, these servers are all showing as VAC protected in the console, when I join as a client, and from the HLSW interface. They all have the sv_secure 1 in the autoexec.cfg file, and not on the command launch line. So I am confused about the sv_secure needing to only be on the command line. You can verify the VAC status of the servers yourself: 67.18.241.74:27015 HL2 TDM 67.18.241.75:27015 HL2 DM 67.18.241.77:27015 Promod ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clayton Macleod" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Re: Differentiating HLDS VAC versus VAC2 Protection?
as has been stated over and over and over and over, you can't actually set sv_secure because it only reports the server's status. You *MUST* use the command line switches to set your secure/insecure status.

sv_secure is a SRCDS cvar, not a HLDS one... You should never set that manually (its value is maintained by code). - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Re: Differentiating HLDS VAC versus VAC2 Protection?Alfred, I have been putting the sv_secure 1 CVAR in my autoexec.cfg server file, not on the command line (Win32 server).
