I kept getting the following consistency error....
scripts\game_sounds_manifest
that didn't work so I tried...
scripts\game_sounds_manifest.txt
that didn't work so I tried
scripts\...
that also didn't work
Any ideas? I only had this problem when I used a custom deagle skin, which has a custom sound. I assuming it has something to do with the sound.
HERE IS MY whitelist without the scripts\game_sounds_manifest stuff
Code:
whitelist
{
// Steam Files
materials\... from_steam
models\... from_steam
sound\... from_steam
// Custom Models and Skins
models\player\... allow_from_disk
materials\models\player\... allow_from_disk
materials\models\weapons\v_models\hands\... allow_from_disk
//Admin Skins
materials\models\player\ics\... allow_from_disk+check_crc
models\player\ics\... allow_from_disk+check_crc
// Custom Sprays
materials\temp\... allow_from_disk
materials\vgui\logos\... allow_from_disk
materials\vgui\logos\ui\... allow_from_disk
//Mani Map Adverts and Decals
materials\decals\custom\... allow_from_disk
// Custom Admin and Quake Sounds
sound\admin_plugin\... allow_from_disk
sound\quake\... allow_from_disk
}

Try removing your custom deagle sound. I don't know where it would be located so you have to find it. Probably in the sound folder though.

I'm trying to fix the issue by getting all the sounds/models to work. Not to remove them. It's obvious if you remove the file causing the error the error will stop, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to figure out why the error happens even though sounds and materials are on the whitelist. Thanks for trying though. Anyone have any idea how to fix the error without removing the sounds/materials?

ZBlock is designed to enforce a pure version of css, if you want to use skins or other modifications on the stock game, dont play on ZBlock servers. The only way to get around this is to have the server admin set sv_pure to 0 (1 might work) and/or set sv_consistency 0. Both of these solutions will make your zblock less effective, but they will stop the consistency errors.
You could try installing the skins on the server too, but I dont know if zblock will automatically decide that they are acceptable. Its worth a shot tho. Good luck.

First off, I'm hosting the server. So saying "don't play on ZBlock servers" is a bit pointless. Second, You're statement about turning sv_pure to 0 is incorrect. Zblock wont run if sv_pure is off. It only runs when sv_pure is set to 1 or 2. For reference please go here: http://zblock.mgamez.eu/files.htm, download the zblock files and in the read me htm file it says, "zBlock 4 will only allow sv_pure values 1 or 2 whilst the plugin is active and will automatically change the map (issuing a kick message to all connected clients) whenever its value is changed - this is to allow the new value to take effect correctly."
Any other ideas to fix my issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, to those of you who attempted to help.

Where is that "deagle" sound located?

The sounds are located under this directory:
\sound\weapons\deagle
There are a total of 5 sounds.
The physical model textures for the deagle are located in the following directory:
\models\weapons
Under that directory their are a number of vtx, mdl, vvd, and phy file types.
There are also 7 vtf files under the following directory:
\materials\models\weapons\v_models\pist_deagle
I will be trying to add the \sound and \materials directories as allow_from_disk to the whitelist, see if that fixes it. I will update you on weather or not that works when I get a chance to test it.

Sorry, to offend you, the point I was trying to make is that the intent of zblock is to prevent cheating. By allowing custom sounds and skins, the games integrity is possibly altered.
Good luck in your efforts...

You didn't offend me at all. I understand that zBlock is used to prevent cheating. However, it is also used to prevent hacking rcon as well as keeping people from bunny hoping. At least as far as I understand. Which is the main reason for me using zBlock in the first place. Sorry if you misunderstood me. Thanks for trying to help.

Hi xlfearlx07,
Well,If the cvars are not working to turn off z block (that stuff sticks to me like glue even after I leave a zblock server--for instance, I can't change my max FPS unless I exit steam) here's something you can do until you get a better solution: stop the server; use FTP to access your game server add-ons folder; change the name of the zblock binaries to something like "STOP"; restart the server. When you want to run zblock you'll have to stop the server, rename the binaries to what they should be, restart the server.
Thanks

Thank for trying to help but my issue is not turning off and on zblock. It's a consistency error. Specifically a sound file. I have yet to test the new whitelist but I will report back as soon as I have. BTW: I am hosting the server at home so I have no need for FTP access.

To be honest, like many said above, zBlock is there to block all custom skins.
Now I haven't worked with zBlock many times before (cause I think it's useless), but as far as I remember there are no options to allow certain models/sounds to be customized. Your only hope is indeed a whitelist or maybe a hidden option is zBlock with whitelists?
Problem is that zBlock is designed to do that blocking as the "main" project (next to rate enforcement, but this has been implemented by VALVe directly in the SRCDS now, making zBlock obsolete for this function).
If you manage to find a way, I'd be very interested in the solution!

Drocona,
Don't take this the wrong way but you don't seem to know as much about zblock as you think you do. Yes zBlock is there to block a lot of things, but whatever you put in your pure_server_whitelist.txt file should tell zBlock to ignore the specified files. Then again, I could be wrong, so please feel free to site your source. As for you thinking zBlock is "useless", how so? If it didn't do what it was designed to, it would have faded out and not be used on any servers anymore. I for one have seen many servers using it, especially gaming league servers. I do appreciate your input though.

I indeed don't know much about zBlock, I've set it up a few times for some clients (like at least 1.5 years back).
It's much of hyped project in my opinion, it's based on made up "facts" about gameservers, a lot of people, especially the ones that call themselves "pro" think these so called "facts" are actually true, while I've proven them wrong many times before. (One of the biggest examples: rate settings)
zBlock however "addresses" these things the whiners like so much, hence why they are used in league servers and competitions, they think without zBlock, the server is bad.
That's why I don't like it and say it's useless, because the actual things that it WAS handy for in the beginning have been built in to the SRCDS at least a year ago.

Yeah leagues seem to have lost sight of what server really need for a scrim/match, a smooth and chokeless connection. The more extra crap you load on your server the more choke and less smooth it gets. Anyway, I'll post my results once I've given my new whitelist a shot.
