SMOD Tactical, VAC Kick Problems

[Meowrailigence]

I'm trying to start a multiplayer SMOD Tactical Server for me and my friends, but it's [Since it's a mod..?] unable to connect to VAC Servers, resulting in a kick.

Don't think that would work on Synergy.

It doesn't, but SMOD doesn't have it's own Steam Forum. [u~u] This is kind of in no way related to Synergy at all? Just the source engine in general.

Also, are you still able to mount games?

You can still mount games in Synergy, it is mostly automatic at this point. Also, have you tried using -insecure on the startup line for your server? It disables VAC on most Source servers.

♥♥♥♥ dude, we tried -insecure, -secure, nothing at all, and nothing worked.

Here's what I used to set up the server. It works for a short time, but in a couple minutes we're kicked.

We use EvolveHQ, if that has anything to do with it.

"sv_lan 0"
"sv_pure 0"
"coop 1"
"disconnect"
"net_start"
"maxplayers 2"
"map d1_canals_01"

try removing the 'disconnect' from your setup, this tells it to disconnect from the server.
don't think net_start is required either.

Me and my friend are on right now, and we're gonna try it. I'll respond again once I get results.

My hypothesis was correct. Not using "net_start" doesn't work. I was able to start the server, but my friend wasn't able to connect. "Connection failed after four retries."

To Everyone,

For the record, this thread has virtually nothing to do with Synergy. We aren't using Synergy in the slightest here. It's just that SMOD Tactical doesn't have it's own forum, so I've posted this thread in the Synergy Forum, and the Half-Life 2 Forum.

So, is -insecure a valid option in smod (not familiar with it :), or does it use another var to disable vac mode possibly?

I don't know if it does or if it doesn't. See above. ^

Do you mind if I friend you, KillerB, so we can Instant Message back and forth?

I remember having this problem when playing around with Underhell (That really good HL2 mod). I ended up using SRCDS and it worked, surprisingly.

Try using SRCDS with -insecure, if that doesn't work then I don't know. VAC is weird sometimes.

Can you fill me in on what SRCDS is? Or how to use it? I'm looking it up right now.
