[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Thanks for the information! But my main arguments are unchanged; 1) Valve has spent resources on something nobody ever has asked for! 2) The cheating problems are increasing â use the resources here and not by changing something that LDuke says can be easily bypassed by changing the communication method! 3) Valve could have avoided all the problems by setting the default values to âno restrictionâ and then ask the offended players to set this value if they are offended by an admin! If there is god reasons for having such functionality should it NOT be hidden as a console command with the default values that kick players - but for instance be moved in to the âFind serverâ selection in the same way as the possibility to select VAC servers or for instance in the same screen where you can select various options like mouse settings! nullbit On Mon Mar 5 23:34 , LDuke sent: >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >There is no reason a plugin needs to use client commands for a map vote.
