Config, Script Rule & Staff Updates

Date November 4, 2013

Staff Update

We’re pleased to announce that Norway Lazybear has successfully completed his admin trial and has been promoted to a full member of Anti-Cheat staff. He’s been exceptionally active and helpful during his trial period and we’re glad to have him on board!

Script Rule Update

Rule 6.3 Scripts been updated with revised penalties for using illegal scripts. Scripts violating the rule are no longer implicitly classified as cheating, but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and penalized accordingly. The updated section of the rule reads as follows:

Scripts that allow a player to perform an action in-game that he would not be able to execute without the script, or scripts that purposefully disrupt the player hitbox are banned. Scripts that freeze or glitch the player model (e.g. in mid-air to be less predictable) to make it harder to hit are also banned.

Usage of banned scripts will be penalized on a case-by-case basis, depending on the intent of the script, the impact on the matches the script. Possible penalties may include warnings, default losses for one or more match rounds and league bans for repeated offenses.

ETF2L config update

The base ETF2L config has been updated with the following changes:

tv_relayvoice 0
host_framerate 0
mp_friendlyfire 0
sv_allowupload 0
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_minrate 20000
sv_minupdaterate 66

The addition of these cvars brings the ETF2L config in line with other league configs and TFTrue-enforced settings.

In addition to the above, a new optional config file has been added – etf2l_custom.cfg. This config is executed automatically by all ETF2L configs and contains settings recommended by ETF2L staff. The settings contained in this file can be tweaked to the server admin’s preference or removed altogether. At this time, the file contains SourceTV settings that we have found to improve the viewing experience without any notable downside.

Please note that editing or overriding settings found in configs other than etf2l_custom.cfg is not allowed and may result in penalties.

    What about scripts that make stuff easier? I can’t crouch jump every time and my script is very helpful, allowed??? I can do it some times but it’s really hard…

    It means Poopshow needs to remove his Rocket-Jump script or I’ll ban him. You have been warned.

    koth_pro_viaduct_rc4 is played in both 6v6 and 9v9 in ETF2L at this time. We’ve excluded such maps from the config pack to avoid unexpected behaviour, such as automatically loading the 6v6 whitelist when you’re playing a Highlander official.

    You can at least include it and change the mp_timelimit to 0 and possibly change the winconditions? (executing the right config is still needed for the proper whitelist)

    Awesome config update! if you live in Germany aand you play on a server in Germany.
    mincmdrate & minupdaterate = 66 are you serious? Now I have 20 … 30 chooke instead of 3…5 i have had when updaterate 60. Every fourth shot is just the sound of emptiness, but I’m not upset, because make me happy randomly teleport … it’s so fun…To my deepest regret, not all enemies are happy.

    AnAkIn, yes of course
    In any FPS config file contains settings for a bad connection. The problem is that I can not use them.
