Protecting yourself from Admin Abuse

Many people have become victims of certain admins,

so I decided to make a quick tutorial based on protecting

yourself against their wrath.

#1 - Make your config files Read Only:
While this is the most important thing to do, (hence #1) you will

want to do this last. The rest of the points made in this section

refer to being able to make changes to your userconfig file, so of

course we need it to NOT be "Read-Only".

You need to set your config.cfg and userconf.cfg file to 'Read-

only' status. (A user config file would have been a file that you

created from scratch in notepad and saved as the file name

userconfig.cfg in the tfc directory. This saves your special binds,

tweaks and other cool settings and is highly recomended! This is

so that if your regular config file gets screwy by some update by

valve, your userconfig file is always the backup telling the config

file what YOU want your configuration to be.)
These files are located in the directory:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\email\Team Fortress

Classic\tfc
(Replace email with your steam account)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When you have found your config.cfg and userconfig.cfg file:
Right-click/Properties/Tick the Read-only box/Click

Apply/Close
Doing this will save your game unique game settings such as

your name, video settings amongst other things. So with this on

'Read-only' status, your game settings will always return to their

original state no matter what an admin does.

Also, if you change your own settings they will also be reverted

to their original state upon game restart.


#2 - Having a non-changeable name:
Many admins like changing your name to silly things, or slightly

changing your name to have it spelled wrong or make some kind

of joke/comment. You can disable ANYONE changing your name,

including yourself by doing this: (Be sure your configuration

files are not read only before doing this. Refer to #1 if you don't

know where this is.)

Open your userconfig.cfg file in notepad, scroll to the bottom

and add a new line. Paste this in your new line, then save the

file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
alias "name" "say Name_Change_Disabled"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now if you or an admin trys to change your name,

Name_Change_Disabled will be displayed in chat. Here are some

other examples you can have display as chat when someone is

attempting to change your name:

Haha, you can't change my name!
Please ask me before changing my name.
I have the best name in the universe, and nobody is changing it.

If you yourself wish to change your name, either delete the

above line from your userconfig.cfg and save it, or change where

it says name "YOURNAME" in your userconfig.cfg file.


#3 - Creating a config reset key:
Sometimes silly admins bind your keys to do silly things, a

popular one is binding your mouse to you kill yourself instead

of shooting, another binding your mouse to make you say FIRE!!

in chat instead. Indeed a real nuisance. Pressing your reset key

will fix the problem.

Open your userconfig.cfg file in notepad, scroll to the bottom

and add a new line. Paste this in your new line, then save the

file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bind "KEY" "exec config.cfg"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Replace KEY with the button you want to use as your reset key, I

recommend using J, F11 or F12. For example if I wanted my

reset key to be F11 my new line would look like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bind "F11" "exec config.cfg"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So every time your game starts doing funny things when you

press buttons, simply hit your reset key to fix the problem!


#4 - Disabling +actions:
This is OPTIONAL so it's up to you if you decide to have it. It is

an addition to your Reset key. It will fix your actions in game so

if an admin uses an attack action which forces you to fire non-

stop this will reverse the effects.

Open your userconfig.cfg file in notepad, scroll to the bottom

and all of these lines, then save the file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-attack
-attack2
-back
-break
-camdistance
-camin
-cammousemove
-camout
-campitchdown
-campitchup
-camyawleft
-camyawright
-commandermousemove
-duck
-forward
-graph
-grenade1
-grenade2
-jlook
-jump
-klook
-left
-lookdown
-lookup
-mat_texture_list
-movedown
-moveleft
-moveright
-moveup
-reload
-right
-score
-showbudget
-showbudget_texture
-showbudget_texture_global
-showscores
-showvprof
-speed
-strafe
-use
-vgui_drawtree
-voicerecord
-walk
-zoom
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now just hit your reset key if your player starts doing stuff

without you touching anything.
NOTE #1: This will also stop any scripts you may have running.

(shame on you for using scripts!)
NOTE #2: If you edit any cvars such as your name in-game with

your config.cfg with Read-Only off, these commands are

automatically removed. To prevent this from happening you can

add this list in to your autoexec.cfg located in the same folder

instead.


#5 - Having a Symbolised Name:
As a lot of server-plugins require the admin to manually type

the player name, or part of it in order to do something to you,

having a named filled with characters not on your standard

keyboard makes their life a lot harder if they attempt to do

something to you. Even though this may be considered 'newb'

like, it actually kinda slick.

First, open character map:
Start/Run/Type charmap/Hit enter.
Using symbols from the Arial font build your name totally out of

symbols, NO normal letters. Avoid using paired same characters,

for example if your name was poodle you'd need two different

o's.
Example of 'uber-poodle' as a symbolised name.

When you've made your name, hit the Copy button. Load up

your game and paste your new symbols name in to the name

box under options, click apply.

NOTE #1: If you have non-changeable name on, don't forget to

temporarily remove it.
NOTE #2: Some believe this method doesn't work well, as with

all these steps, they are optional. So it's up to you.


#6 - Disabling Admins from Closing your Game:

WARNING: This is for advanced users only, if you disable your

game from being closed you must then only use the Ctrl+Alt+Del

to close out. Trying to close out using Exit may result in your

game not responding.

Many admins like closing your game FOR YOU, which obviously

is annoying. So you'll need to disable all the commands which

close your game, there's quite a few so here is what you need to

add to your config.cfg:

Open your userconfig.cfg file in notepad, scroll to the bottom

and paste these lines in, then save the file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
alias "_restart" "say Exit the game later!; echo Admin NO NO"
alias "exit" "say Exit the game later!; echo Admin NO NO"
alias "quit" "say Exit the game later!; echo Admin NO NO"
alias "quti" "say Exit the game later!; echo Admin NO NO"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Exit the game later! = What is displayed in the in-game chat.
Admin NO NO = What is displayed in your console which only

you can see.
(Alter "Exit the game later! " and "Admin NO NO" for your own

purpose as you see fit.)

Now admins will not be able to close your game "for you"... But

also note every time you want to close your game you must use

ctrl+alt+del.


# Notes and Things to Remember: None of these things will get

you VAC banned or blocked from ZBlock/CSP/Cvarblock

servers.
# Admins that do this are not 'hackers' they are simply using

server side plugins which most servers have.
# If your Reset Key doesn't work type exec config.cfg in console.
# There is nothing you can do to 100% protect yourself from

server admins, however you CAN still do your part. Show your

disgust at the behavior by walking away and never going back.

Eventually, all servers admin'ed by idiots winds up disappearing

due to the lack of support from us the players. Show your lack of

support by walking away and not going back.

For Some reason, it never finds my HL2 install. I had STEAM closed when I installed it. I just want 1 big bright green dot for all my crosshairs, as seen here:

What happened to that Auto-CFG Generator?

[{(.:A.o.S:.)}FNDR Dogmeat]

To set up your own cfg go to your Steam folder program files (x86),Steam,steamapps,,whatever your file name is,half-life 2 deathmatch,hl2mp,hl2mp,cfg. this is where you place your autoexe.cfg.

That script provided to you at clans-united is way more than what you need.
Create a folder called scripts inside your hl2mp directory, then place the HUDanimations.txt inside that folder, rightclick - enable read only if not already enabled, enjoy.

just add the following lines:

event HudTakeDamageFront
{
}

event HudTakeDamageHigh
{
Animate HudDamageIndicator DmgFullscreenColor "255 88 0 0" Linear 0.0 0.0
Animate HudDamageIndicator DmgFullscreenColor "255 0 0 0" Linear 0.0 0.4
Animate HudDamageIndicator DmgFullscreenColor "255 0 0 0" Deaccel 0.4 2.4
}
