fix for alien battlesuit exploit (5.22 KB, patch)

Description Lloyd Knott 2006-05-15 16:02:24 EDT
There seems to be a rare bug/exploit going around where an alien players model is replaced with a 'dead' battlesuit, which slides along the ground and sort of tumbles in midair when they jump. I've seen it on people listed as dretch or ganger.

Examples can be seen at:

In this case it was a player called didlo, where the last number changed several times during play, so may have been a sign that it is an exploit.

fix for alien battlesuit exploit

Instead of manipulating pers.classSelection when running tests in the class command, use a temp var.
