You know, thinking about this... did you move at all after respawning? If not it could be that BIATCH had not detected your new position and still thought you were at the location where you died, hence when you accessed the PT it used that location for the distance calculation.
This is entirely theoretical mind you, not based upon any facts other than the Renegade netcode being crappy at the best of times...

I have been banned for this before, it's a glitch.

This is of course why BI specifically told people NOT to automatically ban for PT hack messages, because there are false positives and it cannot be properly regulated by a bot because of that.

the only way you could really disprove what biatch said happend would be to recreate it...

Sure. Just let me check when the planets will have the exact same formation and when the weather and the wind will blow in the same direction at the same time.

^i agree with this. if aprilwar wasnt a mod you would say he is staying banned until we can get a test that proves it was a glitch.

^i dont really buy that. he went afk. he wouldve been there for a long time. Renegade may have shitty coding. but i dont think it takes a few minutes to register a position.

This has already happened. And most of the times are glitches, like now.

wouldnt be that hard, have someone walk out to the field and die, dont touch the mouse or wasd untill the clock on the autokick has a good head start and press e. of course wed have to know what pt u mighta been at, what map, scripts/ressurection, ext... simple scientific method ya ignorant nub
and most of the time its because someone used a pt hack, not because of a glitch
