New way to crash JK2 server

[geronimo27]

While watching my server tonight someone joined and spammed it I think with name changes enough to crash it. Not sure what they did, but this is the last portion of the text on the screen:

Anyone know how to stop this crap? It didn't shut down the executable, so serverdoc unfortunately does not restart it.

I believe there is some command to stop flooding. I think it's like g_floodprotect 1 or something... Look at some other servers and see what it is in their details info.

[Hell Raiser]

Hehe, I was reading the ded server FAQ and saw this little ditty and was like, "Hey, this one guy could use that!"

 

Put this in your server config file

 

seta sv_floodProtect 1

 

And thats that.

[geronimo27]

Yup

 

Unfortunately, I already had that line in my server.cfg. And they still lcrashed the serv.

Any other suggestions?

I'm aware that "animated" name scripts are quite popular in Q3 and by extension the derivative games. I've had a number of players use them on my server without any problem. There's that last "say" by someone else right before the crash as well. I can't evalute if that contributed or not. Ultimately, if such activity does crash the server, I won't be too worried. The admin bot I'm recoding from RtCW can be configured to auto-kick name spammers.

yeah post his ip address so we can all ban him.

 

block him at your router/firewall

 

people like this need to be black listed.
