Kicked for Illegal Alias Error

The latest Steam update [2] has added a clientside cvar

Source Engine

* Added new cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent unwanted commands being run on game clients. The default value is 1, valid settings are:

o 0 = Don't restrict any server commands

o 1 = Restrict server commands in Valve multiplayer games

o 2 = Restrict server commands in all multiplayer games



Sounds like a good idea but , players entering a server with CALenforce and/or CALibrate may be "kicked by console for using an illegal alias".

That doesnt mean a secret identity ;)

It indicates that your config is blocking the calenforce/cvarx plugins from editing your cfg to "legal" values.



So you have two options at the moment

1) type in console before you join server cl_restrict_server_commands 0

2) play on servers that do not use the CALenforce/cvarx plugins.



We have disabled the cvar consistency plugins on the Annex MOTW till this can be sorted out
