Re: How to cheat in crossfire v 0.91.5



 Editing the player file is only an option if you have access to
the file it is stored on, and if you actually have permissions to change
the files.

 If I play on any of the other servers (beer.csua.berkeley, example),
I lack access the player files.

 But even people who do have shell accoutns on that machine may not be
able to alter characters, because the file is saved under a different uid,
and they lack permissions necessary to edit it.

 If you are playing on yoru own server, cheating is irrelevant - you
could just edit code so that you never take damage if you wanted to
(or you don't need to pay for items, etc.)

 Bugs which can be exploited on remote servers where the player has
no other access is what is a problem.

 Solution to the player killing prolbmee is to just reduce the amount of experience
by 10 compared to how much you used to get.
