What I mean is that zBlock aliases those 'cheat' type CVARS that it deems as inappropriate, and doesn't allow you to modify them. It doesn't update on the fly, because if you type "alias cl_interp" in console, I am pretty sure it comes back with "echo Blocked command" or something similar.
What I was getting at, was it would be nice if zBlock simply modified this value, and then monitored it so that if someone decided to change it, it would simply change it back auto magically. This will stop users that are jumping between servers running different zBlock versions, to not be issued with the "Illegal Interp Value" and what not. My understanding as to why you get kicked is because zBlock has aliased the command to be "echo Blocked Command" on one server, and now when it tries to set it, it can't, so it thinks you are hacking, and kicks you. This forces you to quit the app, and reload it. All I'm saying is it would be nicer to have it more dynamic in the sense of just setting it and then monitoring for when these values change. I understand there could/would be a potential bandwidth overhead to do this monitoring, however I think it's a lot less intrusive to the user. This is mainly from complaints I have had from people who are experiencing this problem.

(Well this is essentially how it works) The original zBlock took the cvars enforced by CAL's CSP plugin and made sure they were enforced. They did this due a problem in CSP whereas some people figured out how to get around the CVAR locking in CSP. Plus they restricted some additional mat_ cvars that allowed wallhacking even if cheats were turned off. Mind you from CAL's standpoint, the circumventing of those CVARs is recorded in the demo, so then their anti-cheat catches you. Remember the CSP plugin is just for CAL matches and not designed to work with any other plugins. On public servers you still have to admin on VAC servers due to the delayed banning. (vs PunkBuster where they get banned instantly) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Sando Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 4:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] zBlock Updated to take care of STEAM Beta Client Issues What I'm curious about is how can you re-alias your settings after zBlock screws with them. The way I think things should work, is that zBlock should check your CVAR settings, and then set them to what they should be. If you then join a server say running zBlock Max (after playing on a Min server), it will set your CVARs to the Max settings. This would save the hassle of having to quit your game and re-load it. Why can't this be done? Is it impossible to re-alias the CVAR's once you set them to 'this command is blocked'?
