Just clarified with the developer, the new Fistful-of-Frags on Steam does NOT attempt to do any global player black-list of it's own (unlike the old version 3.9 "mod" for OrangeBox).
I *assume* putting the server into "VAC secure-mode" will enforces blocking VAC-banned players. Seems to me that is more low-level than whatever the game/mod-developers get to control anyway. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Re: [hlds] Need more dedicated server for "Fistful-of-Frags" (FoF)! Weasels Lair Sun, 11 May 2014 19:07:25 -0700 I am not sure that game/mod-specific ban system is still in place in the new Steam version. But, I will double-check with the developer (R_Yell) on that. PS: I didn't like that much either, and was able to block it by just preventing that domain name from resolving on my server with a hosts file. But again, I do not think that is necessary any more.
