Hi,

I have seen in some games , that a player started game without all players ready (i mean the light on) including me.

I guess he made maybe a module or whatever, i just want to ask how can he be doing that , sometimes it can give a map error.

Any ideas of how is he doing that?

There is a hack for old versions of the game that allow you to do that, the hack doesn't work with newer versions which is why he used an old version of the game. It can be used to force the game to start before all players have downloaded the map/level etc. to cause strange errors or speed up the process of starting a game via not waiting for idle/slacking/annoying players who refuse to light up etc..

I discovered a bug in WWP about 2 years ago which always made the start button enabled, no matter if all players were ready or not (the green OK button was still gray but clickable). That bug survived several game instances and then somewhen disappeared again.
Just btw ;D...
