Summary

0001056: hud_althud can possibly give some players an unfair advantage under certain circumstances

Description

Attached screenshot. If hud_althud is set to 1, coop spying clients will be able to see the inventory of other players.

Additional Information

I've already noticed that people tell each other the health value of the murderer on WhoDunIt servers.

Notes
(0004789) Qent (updater) 2012-09-24 00:28	Does it happen in gamemodes other than Co-op/Survival/Invasion? Normally, spectators are supposed to be able to see players' health in those gamemodes.

(0006227) Dusk (developer) 2013-04-05 11:47	I don't think the HUD is at fault here. WDI is abusing survival here and this is a consequence of it and should be using LMS instead. Further, exactly what advantage is gained here anyway? I don't think in normal WDI servers you can just coop spy the murderer anyway. I'd say this should just be closed.
