Valve released a wonderfull update this 17 november 2006.
It restrict the server running command to the client.

Which mean, no more headshot sound, rampage, humilation, killing spree and all that was making this game much fun.

For those who would like to listen those sound again and enjoy HL2 at the most.

Type: cl_restrict_server_commands 0 inside the console.
Or add the line to your launch option.

Valve OMG

Someone over there seriously needs to actually play the game, are they sane?? Confused

Update:

I have written an easy guide to using the command window to do this for my clan, just in case anyone doesnt know how to do it properly, im sure a few of the people that visit here after seeing your server ads will have same problem so here's the link.

Hope it helps some of you

Orisis, can you let me know if you know where im going wrong with the launch options, it does not seem to work by doing that, for me anyway Laughing

I will write a second thread for this once i know how!

Ive asked the KCs to spread the word of this horrible game update, and hopefully can they can help make it comman knowledge on how to fix it. I dont know any player that would rather loose these features, it makes no sense, and im gonna voice my opinion with Valve also.
Grrrrrr

This update is complete and utter madness. Shocked

the sounds are not trivial, but a really important part of the game. Mad

Thanks for the solutions.

Spike · Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 17:16 Post subject:

Great, Valve wastes thier time "fixing" something that works, rather than fixing the crashbug instead. BTW can you put it in the autoexe too?

Fyckfaco · Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 17:23 Post subject:

Yes you can, well done Spike, ive added a post to link above to show those who do not know how to do this also

Good thinking

That's a shame .... How valve could destroy his own game like this ! They are completely nuts ; these sounds were very important for me ( except the headshot sound ) , I like to have adrenaline when I reach holy shit !

Knife · Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 20:11 Post subject:

I dont get it...

Why is Valve destroying it's own game?? Question

Is there a good reason for this? Crying or Very sad

VALVE ROCX! (I dont mean this lol)

Nope they suck all there "Updates" are just more ways to fuck up the game!

Knife · Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 20:41 Post subject:

Ok, thx for the info Smile

.

They should care Mad

. If I didn't like this game so much and didn't get this info in time, I would maybe stop playing it... . And when I would go to a store to buy a new game, I wouldn't buy any title from this publisher anymore. This cant be good for their immage Rolling Eyes

. But it seems to me that they dont even care.

What will be their next stunt Confused

There's a petition going around requesting Valve turn turn back on the update... see here:
http://www.generaldiscussion.com/index.php?showtopic=11462&st=0&gopid=162488&#entry162488

To fix:
Edit c:/program Files/valve/steam/steamapps/playername/half-life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/cfg/config.cfg with notepad

Find cl_restrict_server_command "1" and replace 1 with 0. Then save

Osiris_TSGK · Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2006 17:56 Post subject:

I disagree with this petition.

The problem isn't to have cl_restrict_server_command "0" by defaut instead "1".
The problem is that the client must respect a variety of commands sent by the server as "disconnect", "connect" and all others command that don't mess with the client config.

Having cl_restrict_server_command "0" by default will just fix the problem for a while. Then everyone will know having it at "1" will give them the immunity against all server commands.
The problem must be fully fixed and right now.

cl_restrict_server_command "0" must be the default and cl_restrict_server_command must not block vital server commands whatever "0" or "1".

Lawitz · Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2006 20:06 Post subject:

what are the privileges of 1 that it would be considered better than 0?

Diet H2O_TSGK · Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2006 20:21 Post subject:

1 or 0 is a switch. Setting 1 turns off server admins having abilities like those Osiris mentioned earlier. It also stops certain abuses that some admins used to change clients' configs. But, a lot of these abilities are necessary for ordinary and proper administration (Osiris' point).

The problem now is that even if Valve switch back, people now know how to stop admin abilities... I think? Confused

Anyway - I have my 'Holy Shit' back... if only I could reach it. Sad

Hi all,

Firstly apologies for my lack of posts. Im currently moving house and also in the middle of setting up my own business, so I am only being able to squeeze in short lengths of time to play HL2 DM.

Anyways turning off those sounds makes the game less fun.

Sorry Valve, but that stinks turning them off and im going to come down to your HQ and stick you all! Twisted Evil

Osiris_TSGK · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 05:39 Post subject:

Good news.

Valve has think about its last update and made some correction today (sound like they finaly listened the admin community):

Diet H2O_TSGK · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 16:47 Post subject:

Cool.

If I have cl_restrict_server_command "0" , does that give admin full functionality e.g. reserved slots or is it much more complicated than that? Also, is there any changes to our configs from our end that would help TSGK admin?
