Know of a way to get out of the ulx jail?
« on: March 07, 2007, 11:56:25 AM »
We've restricted tools that can be used on the ulx jail to the following in the next version:

Quote
   "colour",
   "material",
   "paint",
   "duplicator",
   "eyeposer",
   "faceposer",

If you know of a way these tools can be exploited to spring someone, or if you know of an entirely different way to get out of the jail, let us know.

Disclaimer: Unless we have a very compelling reason to do otherwise, we won't patch other mods that open some exploit to let you out of jail. However, all custom stools _are_ blocked.

Magnetize has been breaking jails since, well idk, but it does.
Maybe its best to disallow jailed people any toolmode (wich would also stop them from making dynamites or prop spawners when jailed)

SB,
 Only the tools shown in Megiddo's list there will be allowed.
Magnetize won't be able to be used.

Megiddo,
As for duplicator, I'm not sure I'd want players duplicating the jail all over the place around them.
Doubt it would let them out, but, sure could cause a mess.

Already made it so the jailed person can't duplicate, thanks to a post in FP by Mobius R. People outside the jail will still be able to copy the jail walls though.

oh i didn't quite get that it only showed the tools available, my bad.

Oh my, almost 7 years

I know that the crate maker works and it messes up the jail system really messes it up. When you use that on the jail, it crates the pieces and allows them to escape but it is still like they are in jail. You cannot unjail and rejail them and they always spawn inside of where the jail was placed initialy, I dont know if prop protection would work on that. You cannot use almost any of the commands when they do that so beware of the cratemaker.

and yes, I have tried this myself and it works

Mp6,
As long as the exploit is an STool (that's not in the list in the OP) it will be blocked in the next release.

People seem to not be getting the idea.
Here, let me try to explain for the 3rd time. (or are we up to 4th, counting SPBogie's)

UNLESS you specifically add a stool to the ALLOWED list (which, Megiddo posted in his first post, and has since been modified to not include duplicate),
people will NOT be able to use Stools on jail.

There will almost always be exceptions, however, these exceptions will usually be due to incorrect stool programming, or, not be true stools.
