I've seen that too once, I even recorded 8 demos of it. The trick is to
hack descent.exe to have it send false information to the other players.
If you know some about networking and protocols, then you can understand
how this works. Since descent 1 and 2 don't use a central server to
redirect the packets to the other players, there's a lot of cheating
possible. It's indeed interesting how this works, but I think using the
hacks in public games can be considered lame.
