Re: [hlds] TF2 Infinite sentry health exploit still works?

2014-05-04 Thread Jeff Brice
Also not going to link it here but there is a youtube video describing how
the process works.
I found it on the tf2 subreddit.

Just letting everyone know that the steps to repro are loose in the wild

I was able to reproduce it. Each time the procedure is done, the max health of 
the sentry is increased by 1.2x. After 10 repetitions the sentry has a health 
of over a thousand. After 47 repetitions the sentry's health is over a million. 
(that's where we stopped testing)

I guess I shouldn't post the exact procedure here on this list for the kiddies 
to see, since it doesn't seem to be really widespread yet. Feel free to e-mail 
me personally if you'd like more details.

Meanwhile, server owners, if you see an engie and an enemy spy cooperating on a 
"special project" involving repeatedly sapping a sentry, you can rest assured 
they're up to no good. :)

And here to hoping Valve can patch this one quickly.

Obviously it was fixed long ago but again has resurfaced. Maybe the 
multiple minisentries bug is back too, or level 3 minisentries. If the 
one you mentioned still works, i'd assume Valve will patch it as soon as 
they find out. At latest, next thursday-friday.

I hadn't seen this in a while. I thought this was patched LONG ago, but we just 
had two griefers cooperate -- one red engie and one blue spy, repeatedly 
sapping and knocking off the sapper, resulting in the sentry gaining ridiculous 
amounts of health. (It was red tape recorder, if that matters. Haven't had a 
chance to try duplicating this myself)

I didn't know that was still in the wild. Anybody know of a sourcemod plugin 
that blocks that, or if one would be easy to write? (Is the sentry's health 
available to plugins, such that if a sentry has greater than normal health it 
could be destroyed and the player tattled on in the log?)
