sv_allowupload/download safe again?

Just to break it down a little bit more:

sv_allowdownload allows players to download assets from a server (assuming they've added them to the list of things to be downloaded) if the server is NOT using FastDL.
sv_allowupload allows players to upload custom sprays.

If a server is using FastDL (sv_downloadurl) then sv_allowdownload is ignored and does nothing.

There have been exploits in the past with sv_allowupload and it's safe to just have it turned off if you don't care about sprays in your server.

I think this exploit should get fixed with the next update, until then use this library found: here


--- Code: ---Sprays Fix
Description: I've released it before but I'll do it again, this prevents the sweg hackers from exploiting sv_allowupload/sv_allowdownload. Pretty much you can safely enable sprays with this.
--- End code ---

Hope this helps,

thanks for showing me this avoid, but because I lack the time/smartness to figure it out I can't figure out why sprays won't show at all, with re-enabling sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload sprays still do not work, don't ask me why as I said I don't have the time or the smartness to figure it out.

As far as the library itself goes, I cannot say if it works since sprays just won't work in general for me!

I think I will just lay sprays to rest and prevent the risk of getting hacked for a 7th time, lol.
