RE: [hlds] %n - Change your nickname today!

2004-10-24 Thread sebastian nielsen 
I think the bug is as following:
When a client dies , he send a deathMSG containing name of player he got
killed by and her own name. This message is broadcasted to ALL players.
When a pirate client that have the name bug , get the message , it goes as
following:
Name: %n-abc (oops! nick contain % and need to be altered)
Alterations:
1: %n-abc
2: %n-abc-abc (change %n to current nick)
3: %n-abc-abc-abc
4: 
10: %n-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc
and so on , and this is called for an infininte loop.
I think the update of the game does not allow alterations of nicks if not
name command is executed or server requires it.

I did this and noticed that almost everytime I died (not very often),
someone would time out.  We should all prefix our names with %n.

Subject: [hlds] %n - Change your nickname today!

Counter-Strike:Source (are we going to get a SRCDS list sometime?  It'll
get confusing soon :/)
If you use the %n nickname and die, your server and legitimate players
won't be affected, but all of the people using an illegal copy that
haven't downloaded the patch manually yet will be vulnerable and will
crash to their desktops.  You'd be surprised how many people there are
that are using illegal versions, it's quite sad really, hope valve fix
it soon :/
