New Skin Mods

[Zamorak]

There's a new skin mod or someother that renders your soldat's legs invisible, just like possible with the skin. At this point, approximately %50 of your soldat is invisible.

I myself think that this is an exploit, and be considered cheating. After all, you are half invisible. It should be a bannable offense, IMHO.


What do you guys think about this?

[gedazz]

Hmm... Well, what about invisible skin? I think it is some kind of exploit too. But invisible pants give you a great advantage against other players. Imagine ability to make your torso invisible. Now that would be a big problem.

[echo_trail]

I definitely think it's foul play. I mean, seems to me like it's only a matter of time before you'll be perfectly invisible, which is highly unfair for obvious reasons.
I used the 'ghost head' feature once. I don't comsider it cheating, but I suppose it does render you an advantage, however a small one.

I don't think this thing should get you banned. At least I don't think it's for the forumers to decide, since far from everyone visits the forum, and thereby know of our judgement. However, I do plan to whine about i in any server I see it in

[Rook_PL]

It should be forbidden. Having transparent sceneries, giant bright weapons and bullets also. I know it would make modders and mappers life harder, but it's the same kind of cheating.
My scream will be laud, when I'll see LegLessGostek.

I think that it's pretty cool that you can make your legs invisible, but I do think its foul play.

[Memxio]

I was playing in game with one of the supposed 6 people with this mod and apparently it's not just your legs, he was talking with someone and told them to go to DM with him to "witness the mods true power" which I took to mean he has an invisible torso as well. The only visible items are your boots and your gun if you have no accessories or hair.

[Sytrus]

It is unfair and i think it deserves a ban. Just because it gives you an unfair advantage, period.

[The Philanthropist]

Yeah, it's pretty unfair. I use the invisihead, but I keep my hair on

[NinjaGimp369]

No waaay, some people have a hard enough time playing against invisible heads, let alone people with invisible heads and legs. It's just like a whole new predator mode if you have a shirt coloured to fir your surroundings. Definately foul play, should not be allowed.

[Spec. Ops]

So ur saying ban SSCC and any other Color changing mod?

I find it as a glitch. Its not cheating because u can do the same with ur skin and no one considered that cheating.
I also find it just as ez to aim for the head visible or not.

Changing your skin doesn't really matter much, because they can still see most of you, but I think having everything but your torso invisible is really starting to cross over the line between fun body design and cheating.

[The Owls]

I hate it and have seen a few people with it.  I haven't banned or kicked them, but nicely asked them to remove the mod.  From all the people I've seen, none have caused any problem. 

I do find it as a major exploit.  Because it'll screw with a lot of people's aim.  I allready didn't like it when people use the inv. skin, so this is just worse.

The skin changing is a bad exploit itself since it can make campers more difficult to detect as there is less chance of the odd color poking through the scenery. Also, while, yes, as most of these users argue, you can still be hit in the invisible spots, it still removes a vital part of what should be a visible target.

As far as I'm concerned, any outside program or non-standard trick used to better one's advantage is a hack just the same. I really need to take a stronger stance on invisible heads and legs. Hopefully the new Soldat version will be able to better detect such exploits. Really, it can't come soon enough for me.

[xtishereb]

Wait, you can make your torso / legs invisible? That's totally an exploit, and not a mod. (Mods change the graphics, so any changes would only be seen on your screen)
Invisible skin is fine, but anything else is not. Maybe there could be some kind of method of reading the skin color and rejecting any color not fully opaque.

[Blues]

I have a screen of a guy I see with it regularly.
Quetzalcoatl or something. This was in U13 CTF.

[zyxstand]

i think i've seen this... and there were two guys... one was called "camper"... and it was more than just invisible pants - it was rather hard to see him if it weren't for his shoes and gun...  it seemed his upper body was also hard to see

[Graham]

Well I think the ghost head is find because you have a torso gun and legs to aim for, but yeah I think this isn't a nice thing to do

[FliesLikeABrick]

[EnEsCe]

Fixed in the next server version.

This is done by editing Soldat's memory, and thus is hacking and anyone who does it should be banned. Skin is the only thing that is allowed to be turned invisible.

Why? Why is invisible skin considered "okay" by the powers that be? It's part of the Soldat's coloring, and while it doesn't make too much of an impact with players out in the open, the invisible head and lack of camping "give away" colors are certainly an advantage over what I'd believe to be the original intent. Could this at the very least be a server setting?
