sv_pure and all those model/texure packs

Okay, so I just recently found out that a lot of people were unable to connect to my servers because I was inadvertently disallowing the "high res" content packs because of these whitelist rules:

Code: Select all

	materials\models\props_foliage\...   allow_from_disk+check_crc
	models\props_foliage\...             allow_from_disk+check_crc

I thought that would work because if it fails, the server would allow them in, just force the client to load the stock content instead. I probably need to set sv_pure_kick_clients to 0 for that to happen? If not, how do I get that behavior?

---

That said, who runs a server that allows "high res" model packs but still has sv_pure, and how did you setup the whitelist? I assume that just removing the "+check_crc" would do the trick, but wouldn't that open up a lot of cheats?

Thanks!

We run an sv_pure 1 but we don't allow custom models from players so I can't help you there. We have found that client based custom models tend to mess with the server more than they are worth.

There is a clan called Older Than DOS on the west coast of the U.S. Their leader named Cuz is a server guru but he doesn't frequent this site. He has some instructions on is website on how to do various things. They do use custom models on their server but I think its server side. I don't have the link to their website but I am sure you can find them.
