Sorry, to 0.01 or to 0.1?

Ya, its called CSP 1.1. Opi made it for Caleague.com's usage. It
blocks a bunch of commands, not just those two, but it locks cl_interp
to .01 and cl_interpolate to 1.

I don't want to say how, because it is my greatest advantage, but
the tools for fixing this are already available and in-place on one of my
servers as a test. So far the results have been perfect.
Keep looking.

I am posting this here because it's important and I don't trust that it
won't get filtered out if submitted through the bug report tool - the bug
exists on the source server anyway so it's vaguely relevant
***************************************************
This relates to cl_interp cl_interpolate settings.
When the lag compensation system in the source engine calculates how much to
roll back object positions by for hit detection it takes a number of things
into consideration, and one of them is the value of cl_interp that is set on
the client.
cl_interp sets the number of seconds in the past that your client looks for
updates to use for interpolation and adds an additional latency, hence why
the lag compensation takes it into account.
If you start a server with a bot and set sv_cheats 1, sv_showhitboxes 2
(make sure you have the default interpolation settings) you will see the
difference between the client side position of the bot (the model) and the
server side (the multicoloured hitbox). When you fire a shot near the bot,
you will see that hitbox "snap" back fairly precisely onto the position of
the model. That is the lag compensation rolling back the bots position to
compensate for your latency.
The hack works because of a bug in the lag compensation that does not check
whether the client is *actually* using interpolation. Therefore you can set
cl_interpolate 0, cl_interp 0.1, and during hit detection the lag
compensation will roll back the target's position to BEHIND where it was on
your screen. This means you can shoot people after they have disappeared,
i.e. through narrow gaps like the double doors on d2 even if you do not have
the superhuman reactions to do it legitimately. Combine this hack with a
toggle script so that you can turn it on and off as needed, and you will
have a very powerful and very unfair advantage over your enemy.
To see it, set cl_interpolate 0 and keep cl_interp at 0.1
You will see that when you shoot near the bot that the server rolls back the
position to *behind* where you see it, and to register hits you need to
shoot at the position that the hitbox snaps back to. The lag compensation
thinks that that position is where you see the model on your screen due to
your cl_interp value, but your client is not actually using it because
cl_interpolate is set to 0.

I think this needs to be urgently urgently fixed!
