-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I agree in part. Most of the clientcommand stuff used by server plugins was fairly innocent, and usually helpful. For example, the VIP Mod sent the client command "use weapon_usp" when a new round started to make set the USP as the active weapon for the VIP. There are many examples like that where the easiest/best solution for a plugin was to use a client command.
However, joining a server and having it set my cmdrate to 101 and my updaterate to 101 when my connection wasn't good enough for that was veryannoying. That's why I liked the idea of giving certain client side cvars a flag so that they couldn't be changed by the server, similar to how the cheat cvar flag works. That would have left plugins the option to use certain commands which don't harm the player, like "use weapon_usp" On 12/4/06, Erik Hollensbe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Dec 4, 2006, at 10:43 AM, john @ GamersCoalition wrote: > > > It's a tough cookie.
