Hey hey me again guys
Well.
I ran a Listen Server in Ns_Lost, open to clients to join (sv_lan 0). WBots 0.94b for Aliens, and RCBots (the latest rcbot_mm.dll) for Marines.
Note: I'm also running AMX and Admin Mod. I'll give details regarding those and their settings later.
People eventually joined (three humans, two in Marines and one in Aliens).
We played nice, everything was cool, until I noticed something strange going on with (or against ?) RCBots. They started to chat using sentences that are not into the chat.ini file. What I mean is...they started to say things I never wrote for them to say. It was created live during the gameplay, new sentences (and long ones) appearing each minute or so, sometimes longer.
I noticed, but also ignored that for the gameplay purposes. But one of the guy in Marines eventually stopped talking. No biggy here. But at a point, he entered the Comm chair, and he wouldn't spawn buildings or items. We asked him, but he did not answer us.
Eventually I decided to kick him, with a warning (play seriously on my server). It worked, and he got kicked. Just a few minutes after that, he came back, and said "hey sorry guys". I replied "ok it's cool". Then, he entered the Comm chair again, and....again, never talked anymore. Then I started to suspect him to actually create and "apply" the custom RCBot chatting...because when he quit, the "custom sentences" stopped, and started again when he came back.
Here is the worst part...
About 2 minutes after he came back and moved in the Comm chair my game froze. The screen froze. No more sounds, no more movements possible. Then I tried to go back to the Desktop, but it didn't work. I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del...didn't work. So I had to reset my PC and boot it.
So, the point I'm trying to bring here is...is it possible there is an "exploit" somewhere within RCBots files ? Exploit that could allow pretty much anyone (knowing what they're doing, that is) to "take control" of what's going on, or just "flood" or "overflow" servers and make them crash ? Because I highly suspect my server froze due to some sort of hacking or cracking.
You guys would surely ask for my AMX and Admin Mod settings, so, here they are...
