MAN-AT-ARMS, plz help

i was recently at the server spectating a little and noticed some things that i thought you (in the interest of fair play) would like to change...

1st, you recently lowered the g_shoveamount variable so that people can no longer lame their way over the forward bunker (+salute, lean jump) since it is cheap and takes no skill...well, i'm writing now to ask you to further lower the amount, because it is still set too high, and people can still +salute/lean over the fwd bunk.

2ndly, when u 1st join the server, pb checks your certain cvars and you can see the limits that pb allows for ecgn. If you look, you will see that there is no check for the cg_fov (90-110 would be sufficient). This is a problem, especially since certain people have found out that if you set fov = 135, then lean against, say a wall or the ducts wall, u can see right through them. here's a screenshot of everyone's favorite jr.admin DocTrebor using this exploit...gg @(._.)@

If you're following them doesn't it mean that you're the one with cg_fov 135?

well if you look at the text in that screenshot, you should notice that u cant get the txt to look like that w/o osp...that screenshot is from a demo i took of doc treb jumping the fwd bunker, then later he was in the ducts and for some odd reason he starts leaning against the walls....hmmm why would someone lean in the ducts at different places, hmmm...and since i'm not a nub and know how things work, i replayed the demo, and when he got into the ducts, i did fov 135....and magically u see that everytime he leans, he is taking a peek into the wr...its not hard to write a script that changes fov...if you'd like, i can u/l the demo for u..

Other than (an admin) via punkbuster there's no way of know what he can see on his screen.

You're also speccing him for 15 minutes?? Now that's devotion

Hmmm ... Maybe it is Sten that has been exploiting this cheat?? hmmm...

But maybe Sten uses an alias when he plays. Maybe Man can track Sten's IP address to check if Sten has been uses cheats & exploits.
