Someone doing bad things
Something happened yesterday in both Hell and Swampland, and, erm, it was messed up, and, erm, I have a very vague recollection of this happening before somewhere, and maybe even reading about what it was, but it has completely lost me at this point.
Anyhow, what happened was someone showed up, who was listed as "Player 1" in the score menu. Then the message, "[blank space] entered the game" began flooding the console, endlessly but only while the round was active. At one point the guy even said, "what's up with this lag," which I'm guessing was his being disingenuous, but who knows. Also, when I'd send up a vote-kick, the kick menu would have "Player 1," but when the kick was accepted it was "[blank space] has left the game." He also returned a couple times after he'd get kicked.
This was around 5:30-5:45 in Hell, and then later in Swampland.

Good idea. Those who know how to use cvs can grab branch b0_2_7_1, I just committed the fix there. A patch is simple: in src/ePlayer.cpp, function ePlayerNetID::ReadSync, change
into
The actual fix does something more sophisticated.
Code: Select all
m >> name;
Code: Select all
m >> name;
if ( name.Len() <= 1 )
name = "Player 1";

What I didn't make clear was that it said that, I re-entered, and his cycle was there. A spectator isn't meant to have a cycle. But, whatever.Jonathan wrote:Spectator.Oscilloscope wrote:In the server list, Swampland lists 1 under Users, but "Players" at the bottom says "Empty."
@z-man: OK. Like I said, I know I've seen someone doing this before, but it's been so long that I've forgotten what all about what it is.
