Logging Bug Fix for ThreeWave CTF4.2

This document will describe how to patch your server .qc files to prevent
players from executing console commands by changing their names.  This
problem does not appear to exist in the QuakeWorld version of CTF.

** Players can down your server, change teamplay, change maps, etc. **

To my knowledge, this bug exists in all versions of NQ CTF and patches
based off of CTF (including my patch, CTF+).

You will need to replace your existing log.qc file with the one enclosed.

Additionally, you will need to modify your world.qc file to include the
following line at the end of the worldspawn() function:

localcmd("developer 1\n);

After patching, recompile your progs.dat and put the new progs.dat in
your servers ctf (or patch based off) directory.

I have included a patched world.qc as well if you would like to use it.
I have also included a patched progs.dat with admin disabled.

If you don't care about logging, then there's no need for you to modify
the world.qc file.  The "developer 1" console command allows you to view
the logging messages, as well as other messages which you probably have
never seen before.


** Please patch your server ASAP to prevent this problem from getting any **
** worse than it already has. **
