Summary0000711: Voting is canceled when level changes
DescriptionWhenever a level changes, all votes are canceled. Because of this, somebody can join a game of Hexen and continually run back and forth through a portal. It has the effect of making the game unplayable for everybody. Since a vote to kick the player is canceled every time he runs through the portal, there's effectively no way to boot the player out of the game.
Steps To ReproducePlay Hexen until somebody with the alias MondayTheWizard joins a game. Watch him run back and forth through the nearest portal to jump between levels in whatever hub you happen to be in. After 5-10 minutes of watching everybody else leave, get frustrated and quit. (This has happened twice in the past week, so he must not have much to do except annoy others.)
Additional InformationI would like to suggest simply that votes to kick a player persist between level changes to eliminate this exploit.

 Is this still a problem in 98e?

 No idea - 98d is the latest shown on skulltag.net and is what all the servers I've seen run.

 Then please test this with the latest 98e binary.

 I've downloaded and have 98e that you linked to, but there are no servers hosting Hexen with anything but 98d. (My unix box is way too weak to host.) I'll watch for one and test the first opportunity I have, then report the results in this thread.

 Votes are still interrupted by intra-hub map changes.

 Can somebody create a minimal example wad?

 Back in the day, I authored a few Doom WADs and even a Wolf3D level, but never one for Hexen. If you load the Guardian of Steel (callvote changemap map05 in console) in the unmodified hexen.wad iwad, there should be a portal directly behind you to test/confirm this as an exploitable flaw.

 Checked with latest changes. Votes persist when traversing through hubs levels but are fully ended when a 'map' command is executed via voting or the server.
