[HL2DM] Counter cheats/unfair settings

Some new features installed on all E=mc² servers. Main aim : counter cheat and unfair settings.
I think most of players will not notice changement.
First :
I have fixed limits for low/high cmd/update/rate settings. I'm bored to aim on ghosts or seing players flying people ... nothing is blocked. just limits fixed. I know these settings are good in order to improve connection ... just i don't want people abuse now.
Second :
If you use some unfair settings or illegal CVAR (in particular all DX7 and some mat_something shit ...) servers will kick you now...
Third :
renforcement of anti wallhack.
Four :
FPS (Frame Per Second) from servers side are limited to 100 now. Limit difference between low and very high hardware configuration.
I think very few people only will be impacted by these new server settings... and E=mc² members are not protected for that sort of kicking. I think game will be more fair.
If you have problem to connect to server and you don't know why post here your configuration files... If you are against these settings, argue why, i'm interrested...
I really encourage all admins to install detox plugin (compatible with HL2DM now, since 2 versions)

however, u lost some players activity on servers ...

cmd/upd min 22
cmd/upd max 67
about shit, i don't know these settings... and even i have never tried them... and even if i knew them i will certainly not post here. my objective is not to spread that's kind of information... just i want fair settings for servers.

limits for low/high cmd/update/rate settings
Why put a max limit ?

because it's useless... servers are tick 66... if player use 100 he consumn more network from server... not needed...

ty.
For wallhack, sv_pure isnt ok ?

no i think "pure" settings are ok for wallhack based on custom contents (textures and materials)...
I don't know how DETOX works for that. Just i want to kick players with unfair CVAR... I don't know exactly CVAR checked...

Instead of kicking (which it sucks)
Whyh not instead force the clients to change the settings (rates, at least)
ive played on server on which my settings changed

I repeat for at least the 100th times : DETOX is not used for rate checking. only invalid CVAR. Most client side CVAR can't be forced by server.

Certainly a bug and due to the spawn protection.
Thias said to me yesterday that servers show now the hp of the player kill you. It's funny because I'm not seeing that's information when i playing.
I will remove that because i hate these function...

I like this function, I like to know how many damage I made even if it's not always perfect.

sorry Anti ... but i will remove that ... I think a player doesn't need to know how many hp still have a player ... Even the hit sound is for me a kind of cheat. For the moment, this sound still here because i'm sure we can improve skills with that. It's also a test for see if servers have good hitboxes ... Even if this sound remove some surprise of the game I like it : remember me Quake 3 in fact ...
