You can set the Convar
ns_should_log_all_clientcommands to 1 to log all client commands. This includes both benign things like the command a client sends to server to respawn after death but also nefarious, like a malicious client calling emit, a command that before being patched out allowed clients to spam voice lines to other clients.Due to the increased verbosity
ns_should_log_all_clientcommands is set to 0 (disabled) by default but should be enabled in cases where you want to investigate suspicious activity on your server.Last modified 1mo ago
