This is a two part suggestionOberyn, since you came on raging at me today about some pink dildo's or something, and accusing me of having CRPG modded. I started making some screenshots especially for you, because alot of player witnessed you and to prove your full of it.
1- Make the launcher check certain files everytime you launch the game, and forbid from launching if not repaired to original spec, or some other solution to prevent cheating. And yes, I know chadz and co ruled long ago that moding the mod wasn't in itself breaking a rule, but I don't think there's a cRPG player who would say that turning off fog and weather, making it always be day, turning all weapons and ammo neon pink, making walls transparent, and a variety of other bullshit that they use solely to give themselves an advantage over every other player, isn't cheating. And this is only the shit that people have admitted to doing over the years. It's pure bundle of sticksry and should have been dealt with ages ago, it's a bigger issue imo than multiaccounting and on par with autoblocking.
2- Incorporate the heirloom pack directly into the mod. This is the biggest reason not to forbid game modifications, stuff like this which is purely comestic and provides no gameplay advantage (beyond being able to tell who is using loomed weaps/armor and who isnt, which isn't exactly game breaking). Unfortunately the usual cunts my old friendging up every multiplayer game ruin it for everyone else, as per tradition,.
There are other texture mods and such that are not cheating (higher detail etc). I personally do not see this as a big deal.
Jambi, if this does not apply to you, why are you even posting here? And shittalking my old friendchers isn't a bannable offense, you wilting fucking daisy. If you can't take some shittalk, go play Hello Kitty Online. Abloobloo someone said mean words to me, go fuck yourself.
I very often automatically report ranged tw, ask other Mercs or any ranged playing crpg. It was not personal, you're just a ranged bundle of sticks. If I had wanted to tk you, I would've. I always "fake attack" people or shield bump them after they tw or tk me, I couch at other cav at the start of round and stop at the last second, I thrust around other cav's heads. If you hadn't 360 jumped like a paranoid pussy as soon as I got near you you would have noticed I wasn't trying to kill you.
Anyways, the side drama is totally irrelevant, especially if Jambi isn't modifying the game files to make all weapons neon pink as he himself admitted to and posted pics of back in the day. I'm glad you reformed yourself into not being a cheating bitch Jambi. I can only hope everyone else is as upstanding and moral, but frankly I doubt it. The things I mentioned are, afaik, completely doable, always have been, and not "against the rules", even though they should be.
Ooh Oberyn, if only you had made this post prior to calling me out and talking shit to me, and accusing me of modding and neon pink shit ingame, infront of so many others.... your post might have been picked up as nothing personally. But it is now, since you choose for poor social tactics.
So, you've never modified the game files in such a way then?
Huge contradiction there Oberyn. Since you said your post wasnt anything personally, why make it personal now?
May i remind you folks about the forum rules.
http://forum.melee.org/announcements/forum-rules/
Be polite, keep the cursing to a minimum; adding insults to your arguments does not make them better.
No racism, sexism, discriminatory speech, images or similar.
Some certain individuals seem to think these rules dont apply to them.
I didn't mention your name once in this thread. But yes, now that you're here, self-righteously claiming your goodwill and innocence, and so disapointed in being pointlessly "attacked", I had very good reasons to think that you were cheating, given that, well, you fucking admitted to it and posted pics of you doing it. It's like, if you fucked a 3 year old baby years ago, but are no longer fucking 3 year old babies, and someone accuses you of being a pedophile, maybe the accusation isn't coming out of the fucking blue.
If you compare pedophiles with crpg modding, Ooh god Oberyn. Seems like having a proper discussion with you is pointless.
Its called an analogy, used to highlight your "oooh I'm so OFFENDED that you dared accuse me of cheating in front of my peers, how daaare you!" hypocrisy, when you very well know you're completely capable of doing it, in fact have done it in the past, so proud of it that you had to post pics of it and encourage others to use it as well.

Still not once have you admitted to it in this thread, but you don't have to, your obvious dancing around trying to avoid it is plain and clear.Like i said.. thats one messed up analogy you used there.
Really, a suggestions thread with +3 upvotes is a "shitstorm"? More than half this thread now has been devoted to your feeeewwwings and how they're hurt or whatever bundle of sticksry you've been trying to get across, I'm still not quite sure why you felt the need to post in a thread that didn't even mention you.
And what was my response when you showed me those pics, Jambi? Did I not call you a bundle of sticks cheating piece of shit at the time? What are the "likes" of me, Jambi?
If by messed up you mean completely accurate, sure. Here, let me censor it again so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities: just replace pedophilia with literally any other crime you can think of. Theft, larceny, littering, whatever you think is appropriate. It's the same analogy. I'm sorry your victorian standards of decency prevent you from seeing the obvious point.
I always "fake attack" people or shield bump them after they tw or tk me,
It's like, if you made love to a 3 year old baby years ago, but are no longer making love to 3 year old babies, and someone accuses you of being a pedophile, maybe the accusation isn't coming out of the blue.
You're ban history tells a diffrent story Oberyn. You're not fooling anyone.
Again you once more prove my "you're full of shit" point.
For example, you're last ban
http://forum.melee.org/eu-%28official%29/ban-oberyn/
Fake attacks and shield bumps always... uhu uhu
I know very much what you meant. But like i said, if a person can conjure up these sorts of obscene twists to make an argument, id rather have a more proper discussion with a more decent individual.
Again, if I had wanted to tk you, I would've, and I wouldn't have pretended it was an accident. Look at every single one of my bans, do I ever pretend it wasn't completely deliberate?
Well obviously that's not true or you would've shut the fuck up already. You obviously were offended at being accused of cheating, or you wouldn't have barged in here whining about it. And it is pure hypocrisy, because you ARE a proven cheater. Yeah, how dare I accuse you of modifying game files for your advantage, all I had was actual proof that you had gleefully done so in the past for quite a long period of time, so insensitive and asocial.How am i a proven cheater? IF i had used those mods you accuse me of in the past, was it against the rules?
You failed the message of that post. I wasnt talking about the incident we had. Im talking about you saying one thing, and facts prove the other.
Adding poll: Does modifying game files (turn walls transparent, turn weapons and ammo bright neon colours, remove wheather effects, etc) constitute cheating in your opinon?
And i congratulated you on turning your e-life around, no longer being a cheating piece of shit. Truly you are a moral and good person. You are no longer modifying your game files for a technical advantage, even though you saw no problem with it all in the past and in fact encouraged others to do the same. Praise Jeebus! I'm glad you saw the error of your ways.
2H who was camping in a ->bush<-its called 'banner trick' dont hide in a bush or unsolid cover, if pewpew is smart he will hs player veriiii fast :wink: :lol:
If there is a rule for it , its cheating. If there isnt any rule for it, anything goes. Simple concept Oberyn.
If there isnt law, you cannot commit crime. If there isnt a rule, you cannot break them.
About hiding in bushes. If I recall right (haven't played for some time), you can turn banners on both enemies and friendlies. WSE2 allows you to make friendly banners glow, which helps tell them apart. If you are capable of getting used to play like this, you'll always spot someone hiding in bushes and being hidden somewhere far away sniping. And that is not a cheat, just an option in cRPG ingame settings.
You don't need someone to tell you when something is morally wrong. Modifying game files that result in an ingame advantage is morally/ethically scummy. It doesn't need someone to tell you that and have it written in the rules. Not having it in the rules sucks, but "common sense" rule should be enough. There are unwritten rules everywhere in life. You can break them, but you don't because you know its not right.
If everyone is on the same page more or less though game mods are fine. If we agree X is fine and people adopt it as the norm, I don't see a problem with that
But i can see how modifying colours / crosshairs or boosting up sounds would help visual / hearing impaired users, in acceptable proportions. Or simply to compensate and old game, by adding newer graphics for those that care about cosmetics. But this is my opinion based on thinking further then just myself.
I'm learning impaired, can I get an autoblock?
No, not in my opinion. You'l simply have to learn to play.. even if it takes a little longer :P

But it would really help me enjoy the game as a gamer with a disability.
I did recall a strange instance on a village map of you immediately running around a corner and headshotting a 2H who was camping in a bush, there's no way you would have been able to see him to aim that shot since he was completely covered by the bush texture.
I think modifying your game is also cheating but not all. Removing bushes, transparent walls, removing weather effects, in my oppinion is.
But i can see how modifying colours / crosshairs or boosting up sounds would help visual / hearing impaired users, in acceptable proportions.
Technically, that is the same. Walls, bushes, weather effects are visual clutter. They make it harder for you to see what you actually need to see. Same goes for hearing things.
This is very sensitive subject because it ultimately comes down to people. Different players do this for different reasons. For example, you might not be bothered by night time or weather effects but change weapon/projectile colours solely to gain an advantage because you are competitive player and that is only thing that matters to you. If you really don't mind weather effects in Warband that means few things: you play in very moderate sessions, not long enough to bother you, you have excellent sight/hearing which isn't bothered by low contrast and visual clutter. All things considered players like this are either rare or young. Very few older folks get to enjoy that perfect vision/hearing.
I'm not that old but my vision is moderately impaired. When you aren't able to see without aids, low contrast is a bitch. Which is exactly how night time in Warband works. There is no real night, it is just like someone drops contrast to low levels and lowers brightness also. You can try it on your monitor while on your desktop, same effect. Took me three years to get rid of that and I'm glad someone told me how to fix that bullshit.
People who change files to get advantage should be punished in some way. But not people who are trying to make their gaming experience bearable for longer periods than 20 minutes. Problem is, it is virtually impossible to know that.
