Ok nicit6

1-The point is wouldn't it be more advantageous for mods to have another way to weed out potential hackers can always say it's s texture pack when in reality they have actual hacks but due to the lack of evidence nothing can be done and this player can continue to make the arena an unfair place to pvp.

2- I have to strongly disagree changing the gamma will impact everything and is not targeting a specific aspect of the game. Enhancing the pixels of invs player is obviously changing a specific part of the game play. If this isn't enough of a reason then let me state anything your computer settings or default minecraft can do is legal anything else is open to speculation.

3- this is a ligament advantage what if instead of big black squares the player makes it giant targets? Or to the extreame make the pixels larger to outline the body? Is that still not a legitimate advantage? The definition of a legitimate advantage varies.

4- simple as well. As of now only packs that change the pixels invs players give or AND the pixels kicked up by the feet. For example is it fair to have players who are invs kick up bright red pixels? No again an obvious advantage to even the playing field.

Last comment, remember I really want to be able to eliminate players using the texture pack as an excuse my goal isn't to hunt them down. So when you say we can only catch them if they admit that's the point. I don't want them to have that excuse it's a way to cover up more serious hacks.

 

nicit6 said: I am 100% against any rule that will only punish the people who come forward about it. I have not once seen these texture packs used as a legitimate excuse. Not once. This is not something that is broken, and attempting to fix it causes more harm than good.

(My response)
I will not provide links to complaint forums as that'd invasion of players privacy. However I would like to point out it happens a lot if your aware of it or not. About what u said about rules that will punish the people who come forward about it. Does this mean your against people admitting to Xray, scalingplayers , or cheating in other ways? This is basically what you state :\ do you think players sshould be forgiven if they admit? But that's besides the point, we have both agreed this is unfair "as of now" (not speculating what someone might or might not do).

Taking into account, that we both think it's not fair (be in a perfect world or not) this means it's a way for players to by pass the rules with out fear of punishment therefore something put in place to stop people from being taken advantage of, to provide an equal and stable gaming environment, and just overall morality this is causing good. The only harm it causes it to those who are using this to gain an unfair advantage.

 

Thank you chessgeek10

 

Thank you, for your input I'll push more for this specific pack if the question is raised. But if u can plz explain more about board line packs. What makes them different? My main problem is that the black pixel pack just targets the pixels so that's my biggest problem.

 

As previously stated, changing something in the game that has already been provided for you isn't modding, hacking, add-on, or even a texture pack. This is a natural state of the game. It's the same as changing the brightness that's what the developers intended that setting to do. It impacts all aspects of the game and doesn't target a single aspect like a hack or mod does.

 

I don't understand your reasons for saying it's not. I'm not saying your hacking if that's what your saying

 

What you do is a simple setting. It's already programed into the game the same as brightness. So your method is completely different from what this thread is about. This is about texture packs specificly designed to see the invs pixels of a player. Your method influences the entire game not just one aspect. Also as stated it's already a feature of the game itself.
