Blacklisting props from downloading to server

(1/3) > >>

krooks:
There are certain props that will crash OSX users as soon as anyone *tries* to spawn them, even with prop restrictions in place.

So these models need to be completely removed from the server. The problem is, every time garrysmod updates, the props re-download. Is there some way to keep them from downloading?

I've tried to bring this issue to Garry's attention every way possible, and sadly I've seen no response or fix in over a month  :-\

Megiddo:
You've tried all the various spawn hooks to try blocking at that level?

krooks:
I've tried using addons, and I've tried using a script mentioned here.

All of them do their job in restricting the props just fine, but even still, as soon as that button to spawn a bad prop is clicked, all OSX users will crash to desktop instantly. Even if the prop is not on the restricted list, and it is removed by the user or admin after spawn, the server remains un-joinable until a server restart or map change.

The only thing I've found to work is removing the bad props completely.

edk141:
Out of curiosity do you know what makes the bad props crash people?
Assuming it's related to their models and not some weird thing like their names or something, I may be able to help you

krooks:
Cool, glad theres someone out there who might have some insight!
The models are:
props_phx/trains/double_wheels_base.mdl
props_phx/misc/t_light_single_a.mdl
props_phx/misc/t_light_single_b.mdl
props_phx/misc/t_light_x.mdl

And a texture that is I don't know what. We crash while browsing far enough down on the texture tool list.

It could be due to a texture? There would be at least two textures at fault, though, depending on the t_lights.
