Dev meeting minutes 2010-05-30

Yes, at game start spoofing is not only possible, but happens on a regular basis due to some lobby bugs.

What? You mean some lobby clients write the wrong player name in the start script?

Perhaps I remember incorrectly. Maybe it was just the player IDs that tend to get mixed up somehow.

[AF]

Prior to a certain commit made by auswaschbar ( IIRC ), the lobbies had to fiddle around the ordering and IDs used in script.txt so that they all matched up correctly, else spring would bawk.

Aus added code to the engine so that clients didn't need to specify any of this, and where instead sent the information by the host, or at least shifting responsibility to the host as I understand it. Perhaps the fact lobbies still implement their ordering is a part of this?

Tobi: maybe at some point it could be H&B (no posts), and below that Linux/Mac OS X/Windows, but that's other topic

FWIW, I thought that was a better idea than just adding another main forum as has been done.

[Tobi]

I'll reconsider/try that at some later point.

[Neddie]

I'll reconsider/try that at some later point.

I'll just do that tomorrow.
