Talk:Pure Servers

My understanding at first was as following:

- sv_pure 0 completely off, no checks.
- sv_pure 1 by default materials/models/sounds are from_steam, however you can set exceptions so people can have their own models, or enforce serverfiles.
- sv_pure 2 only native Steam content, exception: you can build custom maps with bspzip and than it will be added to custom content (so clan match servers can still play non-default maps like de_cpl_mill).

True, or not true? KillahInstinct 01:16, 13 Jun 2007 (PDT)

I can't imagine that BSPZIP would be affected, unless of course your map has the same name as a stock one. --TomEdwards 02:04, 13 Jun 2007 (PDT)

I was referring to Alfred's statements here and inquiring what happened to that.

I have no idea why sv_pure 2 wasn't mentioned on the page. I've added a section about it. It might need some cleanup, though.

Question about pure servers.

I dont know where my whitelist is located in the CS:S server game directory. I do not see it anywhere. Can anyone give me some guidance. I assume in order to see it in the game server directory, the server has to be updated. What is needed to update server to see the whitelist. I am sorry, I am some what new to being a server admin. Ty you in advance.

Make sure the server is updated, when you are assured of that you will find a copy under /hl2/ (and not /cstrike/). KillahInstinct 01:53, 15 Jun 2007 (PDT)

Partial Blocking

if some custom files are blocked and others are not there is a chance that a customized client will have missing textures/etc, one may want to block more than the default blocks, also check custom content packs for ideas --Seather 13:33, 13 Aug 2008 (PDT)

Default white list effectiveness

I think the default hole for player models means that it won't have much effect on wall hacks --Seather 15:31, 24 Aug 2008 (PDT)

Covering a significant hole in VAC

I suspect that sv_pure is needed to cover a wall hacking hole that VAC will never touch. While VAC bans for known cheats will it ban for known cheat models? and if it did would a small change to the file, like a random number, evade detection? Thus it could be said that this cvar isn't getting the attention that it deserves. --Seather 15:31, 24 Aug 2008 (PDT)

Model/material see through walls

I think there is some misinformation being carried over from hl1 that models/materials can not be modified to be seen through walls(instead of the following), just made easy to see or just have lines sticking out, (instead of the real see through.) --Seather 15:31, 24 Aug 2008 (PDT)
