as they are currently set up, most of the tdm and ffa servers on TS allow certain models to be non-stock including weapon models, as long as they don't show up as known spiked models.
with the settings as they are in the server configs, it will report any files that aren't the same as the hashes as "bad" even though they could just be custom, and it won't do anything further beyond logging them.
there is an option to kick players who's files don't show up stock (or a player with X number of bad files) but this would only apply to anticheat users (the forced ones as well as those that choose to) and as such seems like an imposition on people who are already doing more than others to prove that they are legit.
I force all useful models and sounds to be stock on my itdm servers, but that's because they make a huge difference in team/1v1 instagib where in regular DM you won't see as much of an advantage from certain bad files. (rg hum, footsteps etc)
it's kinda a trade-off tho, as I see less server traffic the tighter I make the restrictions.
I agree I also have my server configs (anticheat and q2admin) setup to kick players that don't pass the file check. Also the pak file warnings were mainly the weapons because it prints out in the console the exact files and where they are located.
I think it would be a wise decision to revise the anticheat on the tasetypleen's servers (cvars and hashes) I've noticed alot of players on the DM server with modified .pac files I'm sure alot of you know that you can put just about anything in them. Also I've noticed while in "spectator" mode some strange commands being sent to the console.
My view on campers - most campers have little to no skill while others don't really care about aquiring any. I asked 10 campers "why do you camp?" 4 of those campers replied "because I suck at this game" 5 just replied with some colorfull yet idiodic remarks such as "stfu lamer" or "because I can". And one replied, and I wasn't expecting this at all, "because I have low self esteem" In closing I found the best way to defeat a camper is to just leave them all alone on the server to reflect on there loneliness brought on by there camperism.
Sorry if this offends anyone it wasn't my intention.
