Axis Spawning with Allies weapons?

[UnDead]

Hey guys,

Had a guy on our server Ridgeracer I think. Anyway he was axis and would spawn with a American BAR. We watched him a few rounds. Anyone know a patch for this exploit? Thanks,

Well this happened at my server too.

My problem were the custom skins... i had some Band of brothers skins on the server and all players who had this custom skins on their machine got allie weapons.

after i deleted this pack, everthing was fine.

[UnDead]

hmm. We have no custom skins on our server, so I don't think it was that. Thanks for the input scratchy

[Scratchy]

ok... but what about this...

i just put the custom skins pack back into my maintt folder and connectet to our server...

i had an normal axis skin and all weapons were normal...

then i took a skin out of the skin pack and took a mp40... guess what... i had a thompson in my hand and the sound was thompson and so on.

then i took the axis sniper... it reloads faster then the springfield... i had a springfield in my hand and it reloaded like a springfield.

and the pack wasnt at the server. only at client...

i know strange... ;)

I encounter this while trying to rip some skins from the single player campaign and put them into multiplayer..

Anyways I made a ally skin and ended up being able to play with the carcano(which i debated leaving in cause the allies ned a carcano, that gun rocks :D).. But i resovled this by changed the name of the skin and now it gets american weapons...

Could have to do with the tik name, but I honestly am not sure.. I have never looked at the BOB skins, and I am in no way an expert skinner..


I also encounter this when I first saw someone using the italian paratrooper skin, I manually changed my skin to the italalian paratrooper one before i downlaoded it, and I made the mistake of setting it as my allied skin, anyways, the skin didnt show, it defaulted to the american army one, but I had a carcano on allies.

Also what can cause this, is if people are using custom skins, then BT is not seeing what race the skins are, and MOHAA defaults them to american.

I tested the skins I ripped from singplaye in multiplayer and asked someone who doesnt have them what skins im wearing, and it defaulter to american army, but the skin was british..

The custom axis skins could be doing the same thing.

ok this is just sad....

you can just manualy change your german skin to an ally skin and get the allies weapons in the console... I just got done playing on one of EAs servers on axis with the lee enfields... I hope they patch this cuz it is just sad..

[Buzz_Litebeer]

this is on BT right? if so i can make a patch that can "kick" if you respawn and say... 3 seconds later have an american gun...

would that work>?

[CFH666]

yeah if you can set it to check for german skins set as allied ones and vice versa i dont see why it wouldnt.. I suggested on the CI forums that CI should check for a list on authorized allied skins and a list of authorized axis skins..Cuz right now all CI does is check the skin name and doesnt care what side the skin is set on.

[CFH666]

also what i think happends, is if somone sets an axis or ally skin to one that doesnt exist, BT will default it as american thus giving american weapons.. Ill look into this because im not positive on it, so Ill test it later on.

Then, right now, someone go in and find the .tik files associated with german and american tikis.

IE American_101st_airborn.tik
kinda files...
sort them to who should use them, then post a list here on this forum.

If you guys do that, I will make a mod to make sure there is no cross skinning so to speak, if you dont well have fun, cause its a LOT of work to do and I am not getting much help on the piles of stuff i already have planned.

[UnDead]

I will see what I can do buzz. ITs not a big problem now but it could be.

[UnDead]

Ok here they are. Wasn't sure if you needed the fps ones so I included them. There is more skins in there then are actually in the multiplayer. Got these in Pak1.pk3 at models/player/.

Heres the Italian ones
It_AX_Ital_Vol
SC_AX_Ital_Inf
SC_AX_Ital_Inf2
SC_AX_ITAL_PARA


SC_AX_ITAL_PARA, the bonus skin, you may have to downlaod the unlocker for it if yuo havnt, but the TIK should still be in a pk3 somewhere because all the installed added was a registry key, didnt actually add or modify any pk3s as far as I could tell. The TIK has to be there without it being installed, because many people who have NOT unlocked it, can still see it, therefor there has to be a TIK for it somewhere... All the unlocker did was make it so you could choose it.


As Undead said, this isnt too big of a problem now, but it could become one later on...In my opinion, I dont think its really that big of an issue either. I doubt we can rely on a patch for this though knowing EA and the Dev..

[Buzz_Litebeer]

thanks a lot guys, now I am probably going to do it using a "prefix" system

IE if the skin has a certain prefix, and its on the wrong team (IE the player is axis but has an "allied" prefixed skin, then that person gets booted).

I thought the skins were a little more complicated, but i guess they arent, the only ones i will have to program manually look like the Italian skins.

[Paranoid]

Hey we had the same problem. It turned out to be a custom skin that was made from a allied skin and switched the team to axis. They still spawn with allied weapons. The skin is called axis_mussolini's_arditi_ita. I repeat not server side. It is available to anyone to use by anyone anytime. My clan and I have determined this as a cheat skin and do not allow on our server. I have submitted it to WWW.THECHEATPOLICE.COM for their opinion on the situation. People who show up on our server cannot use that skin as we have banned it through C I. I feel you should do the same

[Coolant42]

OMG I didnt think this was going on in other servers. I had a guy come in my rifles only server, picked the axis team and spawned with an M1 (too bad I slowed the M1 firing rate to the KAR). I asked the guy about it and he claimed to have picked it up. But I didnt really get it cause I ran into him with his M1 and he was the first 1 to die. Theres no way he could have picked it up, I run an obj server and it was 10 seconds into the 3rd round. I just thought it was a glitch in my server and I've been trying to fix it, but now I see other people have the same problem.
