Reason for bans

Post by ziemboy »

Hello, I'm running kac on my pub serv and my friend, who was once and admin got banned like this:

Code: Select all

L 06/15/2010 - 10:05:34: "Poskladany Magnetowidem<2212><STEAM_0:1:17650337><Unassigned>" disconnected (reason "You have been banned for a cheating infraction")
L 06/15/2010 - 10:05:34: Banid: "<><STEAM_0:1:17650337><>" was banned "permanently" by "Console"
Can You simply explain to me what is this cheating infraction? There is nothing in the KAC logs about it, only in my server logs.

I dunno if he cheats or what ?
Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

I'm just guessing , but I think that he might have an LUA script installed.

I searched the KAC global database for the Steam ID provided
Checking 'STEAM_0:1:17650337'...
Steam ID is NOT banned.

Looks like it's a local ban only.

I also did a Google search on the Steam ID
The only information I see is a local ban listed at this URL
http://bans.4lucker.de/index.php?p=banl ... 337&Submit

It is a local KAC ban for:
Reason KAC: ConVar ManiAdminTakeOver violation

I also see the forum post here regarding an unban request

Yea that second link is the forum of my game servers.

Maybe he had something, but I didn't have anyone reporting some bad things, so if he hacked, he did that to some other server, but only got banned at mine.

Btw. I know it's a local ban, when I'm tryin to get some information about a banned person, I check steamid at kigenac.com/bancheck.php .

I've unbanned him, but please do something with it, because this ban wasn't even logged into kac.log .

As it's a local ban on your servers neither KAC or Kigenac.com can address this for you.

It was a local ban given by KAC, without giving a reason, only this "cheating infraction" in server logs not even kac logs.

You might be looking at the log file for the whole server and not KAC.log (cstrike\addons\sourcemod\logs\KAC.log)

It should say the KAC ID in chat and in the kac.log at the least.

Code: Select all

Bad CVar response! Ibarra (STEAM_0:0:480****) has r_drawothermodels (r_drawothermodels) set to 2
Ibarra (STEAM_0:0:480****) was banned for cheating. KAC ID:6.26

Code: Select all

The first numbers means:
1 - Name copying
2 - Name hack (unconnected fools)
3 - Failure to validate in time.

4.x - Failure to reply correctly to convar query.
is for when cheat-makers attempt to just block convar queries.
This would be done by causing a reply like Convar_Invalid, etc.
This should never happen on a legit client.

5.x - Failure to match server replicated convar.
is when the convar and the value provided by the client does not match the servers.
This will pretty much just be replicated convars that should, on normal clients, always match the server's copy.
Illegitimate clients (cheaters) will generally either reply with the convars default value
or with the values modified beyond what they should be. (sv_cheats 1, sv_consistency 0, etc.)

6.x - Failure to match plugins convar values list.
is for client convars that don't exist on the server and thus can't be compared.
These generally are cheat convars that, on legit clients, cannot be changed from their default values.

The x is the number representing the convar they failed to match.
In the Source code file you'll notice I added comments after the convar names.
The numbers mean their order and what they would be shown on a ban (x).
The last number is what your interested in.

KAC ban ID numbers:


0 "cl_clock_correction"
1 "cl_leveloverview"
2 "cl_overdraw_test"
