Cheating textures

Don't worry, it will only apply to cRPG.

Wow, smartass. Lost another one. Good job.

Wait.. so I'm going to get banned for having a unicorn texture and the pewpew mod?

[Miwiw]

Korgoth's Textures won't be possible anymore? Does that also apply to the mod replacing all the heirlooms? Or am I reading just some weird shit here that's not true?

ignore my post. read the thread.

Just don't forget that files should be checked after game started. If it will be the Launcher check(like with banners now) ppl still will be able to replace files after launcher opens the start game menu.

The files aren't checked, the content loaded by the game is.

Nobody is going to be banned, you will just be kicked from official servers for having tampered files (assuming your mod isn't whitelisted).

There's worse, like people who threaten to leave the mod if something is/isn't done. Is that supposed to be some kind of blackmail or what? Either way it's really lame.

So I'm guessing getting a mod whitelisted would be a pretty quick and easy thing to do when the whole community dev joiny thingy all gets started?

I guess we could have somebody take care of that, yes. Have the game periodically update whitelists from a web page, so that no patch is needed and even minor mods can be added quickly.

The community managers could be tasked with approving submods. If adding file hashes is automated that is.

I can't believe people are raging over the fact that tinkering with your models and textures client side should be restricted or overseen.

Now here is a suggestion. Some servers have the restriction on, some have it off, and you can decide where you want to play. And if you really want to play with your unicorn on the restricted servers, you put it into the review process.

Some people really find something rageworthy in every little thing...

yes

Keep up the good work devs. The majority won't be using mods at all (especially people who don't even come to forums), and cheating can be prevented with just some delay before mods get approved

There was a slight communication fail in this thread, but some people should maybe be a bit thicker skinned too.

In any other game pink textures or otherwise would be considered against the rules.  Why should that be different here?  I have an archer alt without any mods and it disappoints me to realize that lots are using unfair advantages over me.  Ban on sight anyone who admits to using the textures, then implement hash check, and ban whoever is caught with them.  Problem solved.
