New Hack Perhaps?

<div class="IPBDescription">Ewww... h4x0rz die!</div> A sub-admin (and personal RL friend) banned a player on my server today. When I asked him the reason he said that the guy used Xenocide within the first 5 minutes. I thought, oh, another resource hacker and the wrong person ended up getting banned. Nope! He told me he joined aliens and they had just started their second hive. I went back and checked the logs and sure enough, *h4x0r* killed blahblah with divinewind. I scrolled down a bit more and the team was talking about which second hive to take. It seems legit. Anyone know of a enhanced abilities hack or perhaps how to stop it?

    Dont know if its the same but.....

    On time when I spawned as Skulk, and we only had 1 Hive I had all 4 options, Leap n Xenocide too.
    When I tried to Leap the server krasched, luckly it was my own server <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, if it was just a fluke I don't think it was his fault and he shouldn't be banned. Just think, he could have been new to the game, seen Xenocide available and been like ok I'll just use this. He may not have even known that a bug had occured. Probably didn't happen that way, but you never know.

    i recall somebody telling me that if you have xenocide active when your team wins, you'll join the next game with all the abilities. i doubt it's the banned player's fault--unless he knew about this exploit.

    no big problem, anyway. not a huge imbalancing problem since i believe it only lasts until you die.

    In that case I'll have him unbanned... just wanted to make sure it wansn't something someone knew about.

    I'll try testing this later today. If anyone else could do a test, I would appreciate it.
