When I open the demo (on Windows 7 with UrT 4.1.1) I get a turban error:

CM_InlineNumber: bad model

Never seen this before. Sorry, can't review the demo. When he is totally boting, what's the problem with banning him?
And when there are several bans on one IP we should also ban that IP.

Ahh.. a case requiring my expertise.
I will totally see if i get that turban error as well.

Quoth the Anuswiki:

Demo playback has an interesting failure mode: if you have UrT 4.1.1, you can play and record on 4.1 servers (such as DSWP) just fine, but when playing back the demo, weird things can occur (up to and including dropping back into the main menu with an error message). The reason is that some maps were updated for 4.1.1 while retaining exactly the same name — and when you’re playing back a demo recorded on the previous version of the map, data in the demo and structure of the map will clash.

The affected maps are Casa, Harbortown, Ramelle, Ricochet, Subway, Swim, Thingley, Tombs and Uptown. (Some of the new maps in 4.1.1 started out as custom maps and you may run into the same problems with them in case the standalone version and the 4.1.1 version have any differences.)

To view 4.1 demos on 4.1.1, you have to temporarily rename or move zpak001_assets.pk3; there’s currently no other way.

Thanks for the demo, JRN!

The demo is definitely proof enough, here's a list
of suspicious and convicting moments:

9:40
8:10
5:52
5:14
2:57
1:54
1:42
0:40

Some of them include looking and shooting through
walls/doors directly at the enemy.

I tried to find some more similarities except
having the same IP address, but couldn't
find any. So it could be just a proxy of that
Polish provider. Therefore, I only banned him/her
for 30 days. But thanks for pointing out his/her
co-cheaters! Might have been the same person.

Linux users can use playdemo, which plays this
demo just fine (at last ;-).
