   Post subject: Ace VAC check

As you may know there is a problem with VAC 2 sometimes becoming disabled on servers, especially when map has just been changed. (Even when, of course VAC is turned on in your command line to start the server).

It is a known issue but is unknown when / if a fix is planned. Quite often you can be on your own server and not even realise that VAC2 is not running, until the server is suddenly inundated with players that are using strange hack-like names and are obviously in the VAC cheaters list (if you have one).

The only way to fix this manually so far is to find out that VAC2 is disabled and change your map (even if it is to the same map). This will re-enable VAC.

This script will simply check that VAC2 is enabled. It will check at ever round end.

If VAC 2 is enabled; nothing happens.
If VAC 2 is disabled; You will receive a message to warn you of this and then after 3 rounds the map will be reset to the same map.

Requirements:

Event Scripts v1.0 or higher
Mani Admin

INSTALLATION:

Download the .rar file
    Extract the folders exactly as they are in the rar file.
    ../addons/eventscripts/ace_vaccheck/es_ace_vaccheck.txt
    Add the line es_load ace_vaccheck your autoexec.cfg
    Restart Server
    No need to pest your admins to check for VAC




You must also be using Event Scripts Version 1.0.0.000 or higher.

Thats because usually when VAC is down its because of steams bob servers so even if VAC2 is on it cant be turned on because theres no system to connect too. Nice idea thoiugh

Actually the "bug" I am talking about only requires a map change to turn it back on.

I am not talking about when VAC is "down", actually that has never happened to us. It's just a problem that usually happens after server restart that VAC doesn't turn on until map is changed and it has to be changed at certain time and not every time. There are tons of people suffering with this.

And you can SEE it's not on in server browser AND in HLSW.

the problem is the cvar sv_secure doesn't report correctly.

Yeah that's really annoying, when my server doesn't show the VAC sign, and the ammount of blatent hackers i've had on, literally flying around the server, it's rediculous.

Hope you can get this working mate, it'd be awesome :D Stop them nasty evil hacky people who are so pants they can't play fair :D

I am working on it. It's just a case of finding a reliable cvar or some way of telling that VAC is actually working at the exact time. I thought I had it when I wrote the script but it wasn't reliable enough.

As far as I can tell, the var sv_secure is some sort of artifact left over from when they tried to make it so you could turn VAC on/off on the fly which now isn't possible. What really will make your server secure is the -secure cmdline param, which, as far as I can tell, you can't retrieve. We do this and VAC2 never turns off on our server.

Nope, there is a confirmed bug where VAC will sometimes not sync after a server restart or map change.

Thanks for the input though.

You ever think that maybe vac purposly turns it off on map change then the cheaters join and it turns back on next map and they get banned, dont know if its true but its a thought it would be a good way to catch cheaters =)

LOL. A good way for them to fill your server with hacking scum. No way they would do that. I have switched server providers and this never happens anymore.

This script will not be developed any further btw.
