Serverlog entry query.

[Billybob]

Could some tell me what this means in the serverlog please

disconnecting client |blah|blah (tag type) cn 9, 43 seconds played, score saved

it is the first time i've notice this type of entry. ie the (tag type) part.

It seems to happen with "invalid" client, sending aberrant datas. I must be wrong and I can't tell more.
Some parts of AC servers source :

[SELECT ALL] Code:

if(chan!=1 || getint(p)!=SV_CONNECT) disconnect_client(sender, DISC_TAGT);

[SELECT ALL] Code:

type = checktype(getint(p), cl);
// ...
   switch(type)
// ...
default:
{
       int size = msgsizelookup(type);
         if(size==-1) { if(sender>=0) disconnect_client(sender, DISC_TAGT); return; }
        loopi(size-1) getint(p);
         QUEUE_MSG;
         break;
}

But even with this I can't explain what it means...

tagtype error happens when a client send wrong sized data (like 2 ints instead of 1 or 1 less int ecc) shifting all packets positions and creating a fatal error. as lucas said.
it shouldnt happen in AC normally

Ok thanx guys. :)

Sounds like a failed hack.
AssaultCube, 1
cheaters, 0

They could simply be using AssaultCube 1.0.2 or less, which had this issue.

It happens if you are in edit mode and edit a cube in a different mode than coop edit.
