Can't connect to tastyspleen.net:27916

For some reason I can't connect to this server, but I can connect to your others.  I recall seeing a message from the server sunday that my alias had been removed for some reason.

I haven't played quake2 for a few years so I don't know if I was overtly removed because I suck... or if my quake2 version (3.20 Oct. 16th 1998) is not the correct update... or if for some other reason.

I enjoy your rail severs, but dm is my favorite and I know I'll get better with practice... really .

If there is anyone that can look into it I would greatly appreciate it.   btw, great site, great servers. 

Thanks.

Hi,

You were auto-banned by the server for "illegal userinfo string".  I've removed the ban for now.

It may have been just a fluke.  But if this keeps happening, check your config files for userinfo cvars.  One way to do this is to type "cvarlist" in your console, and look for the lines that have a "U" in one of the left columns.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I can access it now.  I downloaded a config file from the net since I don't have my old one anymore.  I'll look for strings that have a "U" in the front.  I don't remember some of these settings.   Are there any config file templates on this message board that may be a better start for me?

Thanks again.

Is there a maximum rate value?  This is the only thing I could think of that would trigger something.  The over vars are; fov, gender, skin, name and hand.

Hmm, nothing seems out of the ordinary there.  Maybe it was a fluke.  We don't enforce a maximum rate (although I believe 25000 is as high as it goes internally.)
