Yep, but do you have a better idea to determine if a texture pack is crossing the line or not? Besides keeping unfair texture packs legal.
Its to hard a subject to determine what is right and what is not. I don't think there is anything that the staff can do. Lets face it, there are hundreds of people who come on the server each day, what if they are using one of these "unfair texture packs", how is people to know unless they post screenshots and shout and scream it. It makes no sense to me.
Well, x-ray texture packs are also illegal, but I suppose they are easier to catch due to odd mining patterns...
Depends how much you'd offer, I don't usually sell my texture pack and I only give it to clan members but pm me ingame or reply back here and we'll see :3
This post is as ridicules as my avatar, - (no offence) 1) how would you regulate it without having a texture-pack-police? 2) how would new players know about the ban? 3) some houses need different texture packs. 4) How would people know if other players are using these texture packs, because people can't just make a complaint and there only evidence is: "I had a hunch"? 5) what would the punishment be? there are too many to say, so this is a big: -1 for me.
I fully agree. I primarily use Spy and I die so often when I'm not sprinting and not standing still that it's super fishy. It'll never happen but I'd love to see big/obvious particles banned.
It would be way too hard to enforce the packs, and to approve of every single different pack would take a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I question how the hacking team will be able to determine whether it is a texture pack or an actual hacked client. It is near impossible to inforce a rule about not using a different texture pack from everyone else. In my opinion texture packs are more of a strategy, because many PvPers use them. Although they may seem unfair to those who always go invis, maybe it is reasonable to find a new strategy. Then again, anyone has access to a texture pack, no one is stopping you from using one.
The problem is... where to draw a border, as already mentioned? If I had a texture pack with huge, but decorative particles, it would give me an advantage. However, in that case forbidding cosmetical particles wouldn't seem appropriate. If this suggestion were to be added, every texture pack with big particles would need to be forbidden, most of those probably being packs that simply need the max size of particles for decoration.
