Map Restarts Triggered by the zBlock Plugin

On changing the value of certain server cvars when running the zBlock plugin your server will automatically restart the current map (kicking all players to give the reason for the map change), this is done to ensure a level playing field on your server and also for ease of use to server administrators.

A change in the following cvars will trigger a map restart:
zb_active (on only)
sv_cheats (off from on)
sv_pure
sv_consistency


CAUTION: Be careful that you do not make contradicting references to these cvar values in your "server.cfg" (ran automatically on map loads) as this will cause your server to repeatedly reload the map.

i.e.
sv_pure 0
...
sv_pure 2

 

Plugin Not Loading?

If the plugin does not seem to be loading, here are some tips for troubleshooting the issue.

   1.

      Restart the server and join and type "rcon plugin_print", is zBlock listed in the list of plugins?
      -If it is, then maybe "zb_active" is set to '0'.
   2.

      Load the plugin manually using:
      rcon plugin_load "../cstrike/addons/zblock"
      View the message which appears, this should help you locate the issue.
      -Note: This action will not actually allow you to load the plugin, but should indicate the problem.
   3.

      Stop your server.
      Remove all zBlock files from your "addons/" directory.
      Make sure the server is up-to-date using the hldsupdatetool (use the "-verify_all" command line option when updating to check for corrupt files).
      Re-install zBlock as per the instructions in this text file. (Make sure your version of zBlock is also the latest).
      Restart the server.
   4.

      Contact your server administrator/GSP staff.


zb_status

Is a public cvar which is query-able from connected clients and also via server monitoring tools such as HLSW.
We highly recommend you stay clear of servers where zb_status has a value greater than 1, this indicates a problem with the configuration of the server.
A description of the current zb_status value is shown in the welcome message to connecting clients (console) and also by using the command "zb_status".

 

A Note About "sv_pure"

zBlock 4 will only allow sv_pure values 1 or 2 whilst the plugin is active and will automatically change the map (issuing a kick message to all connected clients) whenever its value is changed - this is to allow the new value to take effect correctly.

Note: All league servers should have the setting "sv_pure 2" in their server.cfg's.

A further change in zBlock v4 is that sv_consistency is forced to 1 whilst zBlock is active.

When sv_pure takes a value of 1 or 2 it enforces connecting players to use some default content ("sv_pure 2" being more restrictive than 1), this can affect some sound modifications such as the "quake sounds pack" or "admin sounds" from being played and also older player skins from being used.

We recommend that server operators who wish to use this modified content use "sv_pure 1" in their server.cfg's and enforce a whitelist.

Details on how to configure your servers whitelist is available here:

(You will need to allow the custom content from disk)
