I never said using custom models is cheating. Re-read what I said. I said "some" people "may" use that tactic. And "some" people do. > <quote who="m0gely"> > > Most likely on their computer you appear as a player model so big, your > > clipping through walls and around corners and before you even know it, > > your dead and you wonder how he knew you were there. > See, that's the part where models ARE used for cheating. But when you go duh, that was my point. You kindly didn't quote that part of my original message. I am not sure what the whole point was to your reply. As far as how it should be done, your idea or mine, I don't really care. I wasn't trying to push that. And you should also note my last statement. It's a very blurry line to draw w/ this subject unless you are just going to cut it black and white. Which would be to run the game in a pure/unpure mode. I don't know what the solution is and it won't be easy. I was just giving a couple suggestions, and not "utter generalization". And if yer buddy wants to play w/ only one model for all the terrorists, and one model for all the ct's I guess that's his prerogative, but IMO, that's borderline. Having to deal w/ long distance shots and not being able to immediately tell if it's your teammate that your looking at is just part of the game. Everybody has to do it. And now and then, people are going to have to take that extra second to make sure they are not shooting a teammate. It's a little irritating to me to know some people have removed certain obstacles from the game that other people have (chose) to deal with. It's also my opinion that as long as all sides are equal, and constrained by the same rules/physics in a game, anything they can pull of is ok and legal. But adding models to give you the edge and allowing you to (easily) see things that others may not have the ability to, well personally I don't think that's right. If it's to enhance the look, fine. But to make one team neon green, and the other neon red, no. I don't think so. - m0gely _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
