sourcemod-nt-rates

Neotokyo SM plugin for improved interp and rate control.

This plugin will detect and correct clients running invalid rate values (non-numeric rates, etc). It also allows setting a cl_interp range similar to sv_minrate/sv_maxrate with the plugin cvars sm_rates_min_interp/sm_rates_max_interp.

Example of invalid rates detection (the output verbosity can be controlled with sm_rates_verbosity):

Compile requirements

• SourceMod 1.7 or newer

Usage

This plugin is completely automatic. You can change the cvars below to modify the behaviour, but the defaults should be good as they are for a 66 tick server.

Note: If you're using this plugin for a competitive server, it's recommended you set the sm_rates_verbosity to a value of 1 (publicly announce offending rate values).

Cvars

These cvars can be set in the file cfg/sourcemod/plugin.nt_rates.cfg. If the file doesn't exist, it is automatically generated on the first run of this plugin.

---

• sm_rates_version — Plugin version.

---

• sm_rates_interval — Interval (in seconds) to check players' rate values.
  • Default: 1
  • Range: (1 - 60)

---

• sm_rates_default_rate — Default rate value when restoring an invalid value.
  • Default: 128000
  • Range: (5000 - 786432)

---

• sm_rates_default_cmdrate — Default cl_cmdrate value when restoring an invalid value.
  • Default: 66
  • Range: (20 - 128)

---

• sm_rates_default_updaterate — Default cl_updaterate value when restoring an invalid value.
  • Default: 66
  • Range: (20 - 128)

---

• sm_rates_default_interp — Default cl_interp value when restoring an invalid value.
  • Default: 0.0303030
  • Range: (0 - 0.1)

---

• sm_rates_min_interp — Minimum allowed cl_interp value.
  • Default: 0
  • Range: (0 - 0.0303030)

---

• sm_rates_max_interp — Maximum allowed cl_interp value.
  • Default: 0.1
  • Range: (0.0151515 - 0.1)

---

• sm_rates_force_interp — Whether or not to enforce clientside cl_interpolate.
  • Default: 1
  • Range: (0 - 1)
  • Note: This cvar requires the TEST_CL_INTERPOLATE compile flag to be set as true (default: false). It's disabled by default, as cl_interpolate is sv_cheats protected on most games (including NT), making it redundant.

---

• sm_rates_verbosity — 0: Don't publicly announce bad values, just silently fix them. 1: Publicly announce bad values (recommended for competitive). 2: Only notify admins about bad values.
  • Default: 2
  • Range: (0 - 2)

---

• sm_rates_log — Whether to write rate violations to log file.
  • Default: 1
  • Range: (0 - 1)
