Cheating or not: editing game textures

[PsychoTwins]

The main problem is all of the textures are client-side, so that means either the Devs dont care what you do with those files or it would be a pain for them to have on server-side.

Only the weak have to edit(cheat) the game like that.

I guess but if they don't want people to edit the files they wouldn't have them clientside and would say "Dont edit files" in rules

but that is what this thread is about, if that rule should be in

If that was the case we couldn't have awsome luxuries such as the heirloom pack. People just choose to take advantage of that and make problems occur.

I have fog turned off. Not because it's easier to shoot people but because the fog is just really annoying.

I must say, Bob (PsychoTwins) you lost some respect points for the pink projectiles. ("Flying Dildos")

You of all people know how easily I die to ranged Smithy, but don't fret my pink arrows are nothing compared to what some of the archers I know have done to their files

Edit: Thought i'd share some of whats really out there. They use : No fog, Pink arrows, Tracers, Mil-Dots(like snipers so they can see arrow drop), semi-transparent buildings(so they can see the building and not run into it yet still see through it), larger arrows, Highlighted heads of enemies, sound effects for when they hit an enemy. Those are all I know of so far.

Sure, but personally I'd be more interested in being able to block Macros.

My horse on my cavalry alt gets 1 hit by stabby poles all the time.  I didn't modify pikes to be orange dildos.  Its not the reason you did / do it, its not the rationality, its the Principle. Its scummy, its poor sportsmanship.

I know there are other people that do it.  I would treat them the same way, well, probably worse because I actually like you as a player / bro.

Well sorry but you should realize it really doesnt help me much as far as dodging, the only real advantage i use with it is seeing which direction the archers are goin at the beginning of the round, also added in my earlier post of what is out there if you wanna see.

I could remove them and see the ranged just as well, its a matter of me being lazy.

It also destroys somebody's ability to hide in a bush with a crossbow and not be seen.

Honestly things like this can be upsetting to most people. I mean bright pink weapons? seriously?
If I could say one thing about that it would be that

Well that I cant say anything.
Because that would make me a hypocrite.
Yes I used a pinktex mod (Don't worry it wasn't for very long.). Arrow tails (feathers? plumes? the proper word eludes me) to be specific.
It was when I first started archery, and I mean real, proper archery.
But thinking back... I have to think of it as a learning experience.
People will generally do whatever they want to.
And it's okay, because its not that bad.
These things tend to be just part of a learning curve.
If someone is still upset reading this, just think of it as a pair of training wheels.
Eventually they won't need it.
They will be done with it.
and join the big kids.

Okay so moral of the story here: Its not that bad, it's not going to break the game (I mean just think of some of the wonderful edits people have made. I mean a courser to a unicorn? Thats badass!)
So just kick back, and enjoy the game. They are people too!

Except for those dicks that mod out fog/bushes and make buildings see through.
They are scum

I feel you're missing the point.. Its not how you use it, its not why you use it, its not whether or not its effective, its the fact that you do use this "exploit".  Its the Principle of the matter.  Though I feel our debate is a bit off topic.

On Topic:  I don't think modifying textures should be outlawed.  It would utterly ruin spectacular things such as Final Boss' "Loom Pack".  Not to mention it would throw away all the time he and other people have put into similar projects.  With that being said, I do believe that if someone is found guilty of this "exploit" the community should burn them at the stake and / or they should receive a bit of a ban.  Just my opinion.

That's some sad shit...

High Lord of the Spam votes - guilty!
Light up the torches lads! Sharpen your pitchforks! Let's put God's fear in those filthy cheaters, and condemn their mortal flesh to boiling oil!

It would help me out loads if I coloured every long polearm bright pink when playing cav, the amount of times I don't spot a risky weapon or mistake it for something shorter, damn. You texture editing people are try-hard cheating dickwads.
