Money cheat 0.5.0

Sorry to break the bad news guys, but there appears to be a money cheat in 0.5.0. A player just joined a multiplayer game, upped his cash, and then proceded to flatten the entire map to sea level. I have no idea how it was done.

Do you have a savegame from around the time that player did his cheat?

I checked in autosaves and what do you know, I do...

What server was this on?

It's possible admin could do this but if it wasn't admin and it happens on allot of servers then it may be a bug exploit or cheat.

Most things are server sided I believe.

There's no way off giving money, even as a server admin (just looked through the console commands quickly). So even if he had rcon access... <_<

Even if the memory addresses for money were changed server-side, it probably would have caused every player to desynch, or should have.

It might be some game flaw he discovered and abused, like the tunnel bug in ancient versions of TT.

Yep every player will soon get desynced and have to relogin again then it would be fine. So I guess it's a worse problem.

And it looks like it only took him 1 year from when he joined or close to that.

I know of a way to do something like this, let me check the savegame...
that wasn't it (for which I'm glad); but then it's the other one
