Wtf? Skincheat?

FrickenMoron

<div class="IPBDescription">That was really a weird match......</div> Hi there, i just returned from playing on that TNNet Test server with 26 players....
Usually it's quite a nice server but this time i really freaked out. The map running was ns_eclipse and
I joined the marine team. Building up went fine and nice, and strangely no skulks rushed our base.
But after the TF went up i saw a Marine running at hilarious speed around straight to the CC. After that
he ducked behind it and began to KNIFE it, actually dealing damage to it. I shot him one time with my LMG and he started bleeding yellow alien blood! Well needless to say i continued to trigger the lmg and actually shot him. Heres a screen of it:

But that wasn't the only time! When we attacked their main hive I found a probably afk skulk sitting around at the ground, so i pulled out my trusty knife and tried to knife him. After i hit him once he suddenly jerked back and *POP* turned into a marine and shot me with his lmg! I copy and pasted the kill he made with the lmg into the first screenshot.
So is this a cheat or did the server ops turn on a really weird variable?
Fighting aliens that can turn into lmg marines is kinda scary....

this is bad. i just got a message from a regular telling me about aliens with marine skins on them causing mass confusion. Can any (players,PTs,DEVs) check into this?

fcuking morons are ruining this fine game. *sigh*

DooM_Space_Marine

They sure wreck confusion where they go! There was one around with us on ns_nancy and we couldn't tell which one of us it was, so we were shooting each others for nothing while evil, evil skulks were eating at us <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

I was observing that game. The cheater's name was Firestarter. Everyone on the alien team was telling him to stop, but he just kept typing "haha, this is fun". It really ruined the game. The aliens won, but it was a hollow victory because of this cheater.

Keep an eye out for him, and ban him if you can. Of course, he will probably just change his name and do it again.

Irrelevancy

theres a bug (one console command), that lets aliens turn to marines.

Devs are working on it....i took a demo of myself, doing it in this thread: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=16658' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...=ST&f=1&t=16658</a>

funny how the welder can kill marines LOL
or u should see what happens when a alien-marine grabs hold of a mine lol

This is a known bug; as stated earlier, a fix has been posted in the Server Ops forum; tell your server admins to go grab it. This will be fixed in 1.04.

Indeed, the devs know all about this. Not much more to discuss here, so...
