Medpack Cheat?

[pyrax]

A couple of players (names I can't remember :/) that I've played against have been using some sort of multiple med-pack cheat.  Basically, every time I hit them they were popping a medpack.

This isn't just a lag problem and it wasn't multiple humans hitting meds near each other.  The first time I ran across this was on Niveus about two weeks ago, I was a dretch and I was chasing a human through the tunnel system on the ground floor, both of us were on our own.  After every bite (unfortunately I couldn't quite get the headshot) he'd take another medpack, essentially voiding any damage I did to him.

It just happened again, this time in the Beer Garden server on the Tremor map.  Same deal, only this time he was sort of camping in front of the human main entrance with a lasgun.

I'm not sure what can be done about this, next time I see it happen I'll try to spec and record anyway.

how could you tell you were doing no dmg?

Perhaps you were doing ankle shots instead of headshots?

Something like that can only be detected if you spec the suspect .)

I was doing damage, but he'd medpack every time I landed a hit.

The medkit makes a pretty distinct sound when used.  It makes the same sound when used again and again, thereby not necessitating a spec to discover.

Well.. if you're sure that is what is happening.. demo it... until then.. its all conjecture... and make sure to demo it on BG or some server that is worth it.. demoing it on "johns unpatched homebrew" won't cut it.

I allready did, its in bugzilla

not so, medikit code didnt change one bit

I guess something related with medikit changed
"poison after medikit" ?

2nd point was to make sure it wasn't already patched.. Didn't know any of that........ and that sucks! >:/

any1 else think medkit is kindoff lame, it only repairs the amount of dmg u have when u take it, not the full 100. rip off imo.

I've experienced this once. ATCS in the side tunnel close to alien base. I got a headbite at the guy, after that he killed me. Heard him take the medikit. I spawned instantly an hurried back to kill him. During the second time fighting him I swear I heard him take a medikit again and yes it was the same guy. There's no way he could've ran back to base to a medipad.

It would be even more lame to be able to take the medikit in advance at 90 hp and then to rush tubes etc.

OBJECTION!

It restores you to 100% health from the health level you had when you activated it. It's up to the player to decide when is a good time to use it. If it continued to heal until it had done 100% irrespective of damage taken after activation it'll make humans very difficault to kill - battlesuits would last alot longer against tubes and dretch swarms. Also, how is it a rip-off since it's not a buyable item?

[Henners]

No no no no no no no, thats not how you use an objection! Objections are saved for only the most idiotic things, and must be clickable!

Last time somebody accused someone else of medkit cheating, the suspect was proven innocent and the other guy was proven to be a noob. Also make sure you have the latest client from http://trem.tjw.org/backport/ because there was a bug in the sound system which caused medkit sound to play when it shouldn't.
