Limit textspam in etpro

RoadKillPuppy · Post by **RoadKillPuppy** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 1:26 am

We currently have some players who really like to spam the textconsole with annoying binds.
We've already set g_voiceChatsAllowed "4", but that seems to only limit the quickvoicechat messages.

With a search on this forum, I noticed that this was implemented in banimod. Is there a way to limit textspam in etpro as well?

Thx, RKP

I _think_ that's included in b_floodMaxCommands, which limits all non-reliable commands a client sends? (</guessmode>)

b_floodMaxCommands is what you want.

This command doesn't seem to work in 3.2.0.

It is not one of the "b" commands that lists in the console.

Is there a substitute that will stop/limit the vsay spam?

One of those commands works in 3.2 I forget which,

But we used to have nubs who would spam ASCII binds, about 8-15 string longs, and it was friggin annoying. So I limitted it to 4. Now there binds don't work.

Still getting unlimited spamming.

The config file contains......

Code: Select all

set g_voiceChatAllowed "3"
seta b_floodMaxCommands 5

What else should be in there to limit the spamming?

You need

Code: Select all

set g_voiceChatsAllowed 3

NOT

Code: Select all

set g_voiceChatAllowed 3

Sorry, I mistyped it in my message. I am using g_voiceChatsAllowed.

I'll try limiting the b_floodMaxCommands more and see if that helps.

Thanks for the responses!
