ZombieMod + RPG Mod Bans?

First I don't run a non-steam server before anyone suggests that.
On our ZombieMod 2.0 and RPG Mod servers we used to have KAC until after every ban the screen would go black. Also on KAC the RPG Mod causes people to be banned who arn't cheating (99% of the server gets banned). Is it possible to fix it, should I replace the CS:S RPG Mod with the SourceMod RPG Mod?
Thanks

I don't have it on the server, and I don't want to leave it on since it will ban the entire server, but apparently as someone mentioned through PM and on the server it has to do with mat_fullbright.

KAC doesn't check mat_fullbright.

Check for mat_fullbright on the maps that are causing the issue (before the screen goes black). I have heard that alot of ZM maps are not lit properly. This would cause the issue of the screen going black if sv_cheats is ever toggled, as sv_cheats changing to 0 causes mat_fullbright to also be set to 0 even if it was set to 1 because of the map having no (or only dynamic) lighting.
Thats what prevents us from using it on Surf/Zombie Maps, because its impossible to see anything without a flashlight.

I never said it does, I am saying that turning sv_cheats 1 then back to 0 (something that happens when a user gets banned) causes the map to go dark. So if I have KAC on for zm_lila_panic and a cheater gets banned the entire server goes dark, same goes for surf maps WHICH lack mat_fullbright.

Hrm. Well, its really because Zombie Mod and CS:S RPG both use a very hacky method of doing things. (They do "sv_cheats 1;do something here;sv_cheats 0") KAC replicates the sv_cheats 0 because it thinks that sv_cheats 1 has been replicated to the clients.

Same thing happens on non zombiemod or rpg mod servers that use the maps. I removed RPG mod from my surf server and I am only running surf maps (with a standard sourcemod config, similar to my rotation pub), and if a user gets banned on surf_10x_final, map goes dark.

mat_fullbright is MAP's feature, if MAP creator was too lazy to add lights to his map, he can add to map mat_fullbright 1 force, even its cheat cvar, its set to 1 when you load map, and when you do that thing with sv_cheats, all cheat cvars are resetted to default, also mat_fullbright... Now think where is problem, first of all its mapper problem becouse map looks pretty shitty with mat_fullbright turned on (no shadows etc) and he should use proper map lights, so i am not sure if its kac's problem..
AD. RPG banning issue:
i also spotted few bans on my RPG server, it was for spamming ent_fire command.
