Morning
Im totally new to CS:S and have just setup my server. Now it runs fine, as far as I can tell in my Admin Noobiness. I now hear horror stories of CS having some of the most cheats around. Now everyone wants a good server and for it to be popular. Im looking to kill off cheating, as much as possible, and hoping you guys can tell me how you do this.
Im running CS:S on a win 2003 server with a cfg ive created from web research. Im not running any admin mods as of yet, but need to know which ones you recommend. I have tried using ingame commands but don't know how to bring them up (strong ET player and the same setup doesn't work in cs:s).
Thank you
Dave..
Feel free to connect to server and tell me what I need to change on it. IP 81.27.99.18

hi goofy, cheers for the reply. I have installed the Mani mod, and wow, how does that knacker up my server. Installed for 5min and had about 8 crashes. Now i know there is a loop in a .bat to keep the server up but that is not really the way to do it, is it?
As for anti cheat, I have found some anti cheat stuff but it looks like for cs 1.6 and hl only, nothing seems to support source. is this correct, if so, guess I need to wait along with everyone else for the vac2 release.
is is standard for mani to crash the server then? have you had this alot? Is it perhaps my mani is installed incorrectly? Seem to have load of 'error loading *.txt' files.

Unfortunatly yes, VAC2 is still in beta and is currently logging still. Hopefully it'll be released soon. I also hear that steambans is going to release their plugin for CSS soon if they already haven't. While the steambans plugin does not ban, it'll keep already banned IDs from joining your server. HLGuard should be out for source as well soon. Though HLGuard mostly bans for 24 hours for most scripts. For now, all you can really do is. Play, spectate suspected cheaters. record a demo of them, then ban them from your server. Submit the demo to steambans.com.

You can now kick your server into vac beta mode by adding this command to your server START UP line, not the cfg
-vacbeta
Tada you are now vac secured!

i have found the vacbeta as they say won't actually ban people or anything right now.. but i have noticed that just it being there.. is scared A LOT of the hackers away... and bringing in more legit players. i used to have at LEAST 2 hackers a day come in.. adn thats just what i seen.. now.. i haven't seen one since i enabled it.
and as far as mani goes... i have never had a problem with it crashing the server... if it doesn't load a lot of txt files. maybe you bput them in the wrong directory or something.. cuz thats basically what it runs off of.

Vacbeta is kinda like surgar pills ^^
No but it really does scare em off and Vavle is using it to finish up connection issues and logging of cheats (not banning folks)

no, it was the public beta that banned someone. as a matter of fact, it banned a server admin that had enbled vacbeta on his server while using a third party dll patch for 3d sky, thinking vacbeta wouldn't ban him. he caught a lot of flaming in the hlds linux mailing list.
