Well no, because you don’t know what skins your enemies/teammates might be running?

Sv_pure 1 is like a whitelist. You can decide what custom things ae allowed so no. The other players couldn’t run something else

Look, there isn’t really anything to be discussed about here,
ETF2L states that sv_pure 2 is required on every match server, so that’s that.
Also don’t feel attacked by this, I am just pointing out that discussing this fact is futile.

I don’t feel attacked, I was just hoping that there might be a way I could have my sexy flat textures on matches (because it’s not like I play better with them, just looks nore cartoony imo) but apperently not :'( I’ll set my server on sv_pure 2 in the future, sorry for the inconvience ;)

You’re right that is a totally reasonable reason to not follow the rules, I personally like playing with the direct hit which is why I use the wrong whitelist when I launch my server, it’s not like its overpowered or anything so it’s ok I’m not following the rules.

Quoted from Bona

whenever I run etf2l, sv_pure remains on 1, not 2. so what is up with that?

As Genmix pointed out – tell your server provider to add “-sv_pure” or “-sv_pure 2” to the server’s startup parameters.

As for the folks linking to supposedly invalid matches; I think I did say “you risk getting your match invalidated”. Take from that what you will – or just read the rules :)

Do any server providers not use -sv_pure as standard?

Since steampipe update you need to launch the server with -sv_pure launch param to enable pure 2.

Here’s a match where he used incorrect server settings: http://etf2l.org/matches/46498/

please invalidate it.

ETF2L in a nutshell: Not enforcing written out rules & applying made up rules.

ETF2L community in a nutshell: Bashing admins in the most uninformed way possible.
(ok, to be entirely fair, that actually only applies to a minority)

It’s a community league, folks. If a rule appears incorrect or odd, create a discussion thread about it!

As for this particular case; we cannot possibly validate server settings for each and every match played, so it’s up to the teams to verify everything is ok. If you find something wrong, you can contact an admin and the case can be investigated. If you don’t, then nobody will ever know. If you only find out a week or more later that something may or may not have been wrong in a game, then evidently it was not a big deal. Still, if you feel a player performed suspiciously well or the game felt unfair in any other way, by all means contact an admin.

As for ETF2L enforcing made up rules, I don’t think that’s actually ever happened – at least not recently. If you find the opposite to be true, talk to a head admin.
