Cexec broke
« on: August 12, 2009, 08:24:28 PM »
Garry seems to have broken !cexec. I tried to run it on some players on my server and it didn't work. I recall seeing a message that said something like "game.ConsoleCommand blocked" or something of the sort. Just thought I'd let team Ulysses know (if they didn't already).

Actually, I think it's been broken a while
Good to give a heads up again though. It's not been asked about.

Megiddo, how difficult would it be to work around?
We did it at one time using some fancy string conversions...anyway possible to do that now without using a server module?

Oops, sorry. I'm on my phone and the mobile version of the page doesn't seem to have an edit button.

Well, it worked about a week ago for me. If you could fix it, that would be great, I love cexec.

Works fine on my server. What are you trying to execute?

Some say commands. Let me try getting the newest SVN and I'll see if it works.

Try executing the command directly EX: ulx cexec player "ulx motd" instead of ulx cexec "say !motd"

I, and I presume others, would be more interested in the commands such as 'quit', that are banned.
Not ULX commands.

cexec say is blocked if you try and do it from rcon.

It will work if you are ingame and do it however.
