sv_pure will work fine.. However.. It will kick every single player that joins your server that has .pk3 files that are not on your server. So... you sort of control what you will allow outside of the default range.. Actually you control everything with sv_pure. LOL

"will work fine"

Have you tried it??

It was suppose to "work fine" with patch file 2.11...........

I know what its supposed to do.... but asked if anyone had got it working properly.

sv_pure never wprked with 2.11

It does work with 2.15

But I think its a little to late.. your better of with a cheat program... There are way to many players that have modded there game in some way.. With maps, skins, blood pk's, scopes, ect, ect... No way you can keep up with all that & by using sy_pure your gonna be rejecting a lot of players to your server.

Yeah but thats the point... surely??

To stop clients using pk3 files... hence stopping alot of the cheats.....

If all servers started using the sv_pure switch...... "many players" wouldn't have a choice :)

Well as unfortunate as it is.. There is just no way to stop cheating in everyway... But for me sv_pure would just restrict way to many people trying to join my server.. Would have been fine had it worked from day 1.. but I think its way to late to try & get even 50% of the servers out there to use it.. I'm sure your pretty adamant about using it.. I say go for it & if you notice hardly no activity on your server you'll know why... Assuming you run a server.

Ok there is a bug with sv_pure and letting in people that don't have invalid pk3s and a clean game exe's. Even when your game is clean it may not let you in the server.

Basically if you connect though console via connect 64.39.44.53 for example or connect via the in game server list it can deny you access even though you are clean.

Ways around this are to connect via ASE or Gamespy Arcade. Which sucks. But someone from TWL's forums has posted a way to log in the old ways I listed above.

You first need a shortcut file on your desktop to the spearhead.exe file. Then you need to edit the target of the shortcut. To do this you need to right click the shortcut then left click properties. That will take you the shortcut properties. Now go to shortcut tab and find Target. You will see this.

"D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe" or something close to it. Might have driver letter changed for example. Now what you do is after the quotes add this:

+set cl_playintro 0

So it will look like this.

"D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe" +set cl_playintro 0

Thats it that should resolve the issue with getting in clean. It still will block pk3s etc of course :)

Peace out,

sv_pure 1 does not automatically kick people out, the tests i've been doing ends up in mod .pk3's just not getting loaded on the client, hence the client can still connect, but with the mods disabled. But in the case of modified "original" .pk3's i don't know, but i would expect you to get kicked in that case.
