Its interfering with my chat because there the same name but if i change my custom chat name it will mess with the files inside.

you just add themes to it

stiff glen
#

i cant even find the base chat

torn yarrow
#

it was moved, because the new one contains performance improvements, and more importantly, big security updates

#

and so, every server needed to get it

stiff glen
#

so where is it

torn yarrow
#

same place as txadmin, in the artifacts

#

however

#

i wouldnt delete it from there

#

there is a convar in your server cfg

#

that routes the chat resource to the one in the artifacts

#

just remove that and u should be good

stiff glen
#

convar?

#

what does in look like

torn yarrow
#

2 secs

stiff glen
#

ok

torn yarrow
#

set resources_useSystemChat true

#

set that to false and you should be good

#

though, i do highly recommend against not using the new one

stiff glen
#

wdym like my new one?

#

if so why?

torn yarrow
#

the chat in the artifacts, is different to the normal chat resource you get

stiff glen
#

so its safer>

#

?

torn yarrow
#

the new one is safer, yes

stiff glen
#

because people cant leak and backdoor the chat?

torn yarrow
#

hence it being moved

torn yarrow
stiff glen
#

okaty

torn yarrow
#

to execute commands they otherwise shouldnt have been able to

stiff glen
#

ah okay so can people do that with like custom chats?

torn yarrow
#

since most of them are not, updated, yes

stiff glen
#

okay

torn yarrow
#

however

torn yarrow
#

theres a pretty cool "theme" system

#

to customise the chat

stiff glen
#

then why do so many people do it/

#

?

#

do most people not understand the risk of it?

#

or is it just genuinly safer mainly

torn yarrow
#

and put it in their server

stiff glen
#

yeah

torn yarrow
#

most server owners really dont think about general security on there server

#

and then complain when they have loads of cheaters xD

stiff glen
#

yeah

#

bro easy admin can pull ppls 1 p

#

you can literally just google search for someones IP

#

after all, the actual name is a Public IPv4

stiff glen
#

yea

torn yarrow
#

Think of the fxserver as a postman, and your IP is the address, it has to deliver the package

stiff glen
#

yea

torn yarrow
#

and that is basically how every single thing on the internet works

#

🙂

stiff glen
#

yeah

torn yarrow
# torn yarrow nah, not really

but, for example , over here in the UK,
DDoSing aint going to work, since theres no attack vectors into it,
and for location wise, you would be lucky to even get the correct city

#

my IP currently reports me in london, a 4 hour drive away

stiff glen
#

yeah mines somewhere random in australia

#

@torn yarrow

#

whats thise

#

im just trying to say hello
