Chatting with nick names of other players?

[Psychcf]

lol that was simple

It happend again on Delight yesterday but this time it was not possible to spot it with KadaverJack's hint. That is there was no previous message by another player IIRC. Any ideas how this could be done or rather how one could tell the difference between a hijacked chat message and a "normal" one? Or to turn it off completely since it is really annoying and many players won't be able to tell the difference anyway?

I know how to make a chat-text seem to come from another player. And my nickname will not be shown at all.
I told how to do this in #alientrap some days ago... but I guess its hard to prevent this exploit... but what the hell do I know?

Thanks for the confirmation. No need to think I am hallucinating this then.

This will be 'fixed' in 2.3 by prepending ... to each wrapped line in the chat area.
So unless someone has ... at the start of his name this should stop such misuse.

Good. One more reason for me to look forward to the release.

I tested this with esteel, and "my" exploit is not fixed yet.

[esteel]

Yeah but do not count on it still working in a few days

[morfar]

div0 fixed this bug now

I hope there is no more weird exploits available.

I'm not quite sure, maybe the server is running with modified source?

The servers where this happend were DCC's DM server and the RBI Keyhunt server. Delight runs unmodified source AFAIK. And RBI probably runs a 2.3 snapshot.

on RBI ctf happened to me too. there was a guy called "instant speak" or sth. he left n after that the damn messages starts he/she/it did it with all players ,was only 4 but..pfew too him!
