<div class="IPBDescription">Spec mode people</div> Well, i wasn't super sure what people meant by these spectator mode cheater but I just saw two of them. Wootman and |X|Nick|X| even another by the tag vanisher. We were in Coronos in space and they were blocking doors...running around blocking people as aliens running around the spawn making people waste ammo. Bloody hell...how can i find thier I.P.'s so I can find them and destroy them?

Man I will be happy when that is fixed...i don't have to see people destroying my I.P.'s anymore but I get to see them blocking doors and bascially annoying the hell out of people.

    Type <i>status</i> in the console. You will see something like:

    1 Player XX 55555 XXX XXXXX
    2 Player2 XX 55555 XXX XXXXX
    3 Player3 XX 55555 XXX XXXXX

    I think the numbers after the double digits proceding the person's name is their WON ID? Not sure, I usually just take down all the numbers to be safe.

    PageUp and PageDown are supposed to scroll up and down in the console window, but if they are binded I don't think it works. Hope that helped...

    If there are more people unsure of what spectator cheating is, I made a demo file showing it in action. It's quite harmless, but it's damn annoying to the opposing team as they can block doors and they are invincible.

    You can get the demo file i made here [zipped] :

    To play the demo, type "play /*demo name*/" in the console.
    OR you can use geekplay. <a href='http://www.geekboys.org/geekplay' target='_blank'>www.geekboys.org/geekplay</a>

    There were two guys doing this on a server I was on an hour ago both called newbie and n00b (probably because they intended to do this. Anyway they stood on the infantry portals and caused all the spawning marines to get stuck. The comm had no idea why we were not spawning until I phoned him up (he was a friend of mine) so he got out and built 2 more portals but didn't recycle the other ones to prevent the **obscenity** from standing on the new ones. This helped a little but people were still spawning on the old protals although not so much.

    This really annoyed me because the game was going really well with the teams balanced and the aliens only having 2 hives.

    I remember them.. They were extremely frustrating. Wootman wouldn't let the doors shut on ns_caged while the marines were being pounded by about 6 offence towers and 10 defense towers healing. Yeah, those marines died. There was massive stacking everywhere.
