Hello! Well today I found this weird bug, I went to room Bootcamp1 in ES server, but what was the surprise, the map 61 was being played, instead of a normal bootcamp map, it runned (like any bootcamp map) for all the 6 minutes.
But the serious part is that they were actually counting as passed bootcamp, I think this is an important bug for that reason. And it could be a new hack too but I don't really think so.
Here's a screenshot:

There's no hack to change maps.

I have a feeling it was a mod or arb helping people farm.

OH yes, thank you for jogging my memory.
iirc /np'd maps don't count either.

Bolinboy a dit :

Vanilla maps should not count for bootcamps anyways, just P3/13s

I passed it to see if it counted and it did, therefore I said I'm sure they were counting.

Okay, that also rules out it being /np'd then ...

The only map that could be played outside of P3/13 is map 0 and that's if something goes wrong with the next played map(such as P43 for example; I've seen this bug happen only once without a P43 map/outside of the tribe house). But 61? I honestly don't know if the same thing could happen. If it is a hack then this is quite a problem.

Any map can be played in any room via /np lol

There is no such thing as a map changing hack. If there was, there would be a lot more reports of this.

Are any of the players listed in the screen shot mods/mapcrew members? I don't see any mapcrew members, and I don't know all the mods, only explimation I can think of. If so someone should be getting fired.

- You can't see the whole list so you can't confirm it's map crew
- You don't know all the alts of moderators
- You don't know all the arbs, who may also be able to play maps

You can see the provided listed players, players in the hole, players on the map, and an admin would know the alts. So that's the best shot at finding out what happened. Work with what you have, don't be negitive about what you don't.

May i also point out this is the only map that is practically free cheese, so if I mod/mapcrew were to deliberately play a map for bootcamp points, it would be this map.

I don't know if you noticed but if you read the first post on this thread you will find that I pointed this out. However, I did forget that maps that are /np'd do not (or aren't supposed to) count.
An admin knows alts, yes. An admin however does not know what alt, or arb, was in ES-bootcamp one at 3:58 or so in the morning (EST). Stop beating a dead horse and let an admin handle it from here.

If you /np a map and change rooms between the /np and the map actually loading, it 'follows' you to wherever you ended up... this happens once in a while.

I've never heard of /np'ed maps not counting towards bc completions. P3/P13 maps are the only ones that supposedly do though.

This thread may not be a great idea to have on the forum. :P I haven't seen this really abused but the potential is there.

I was informed by two map crew members in private that they didn't, so that's where I got my info.
