The debate as to whether clear scope sniper modifications are cheats or not is surely beyond this thread. Honestly I don't think it'll ever be settled, so let's just keep this thread related to matters of modifying the sniper HUD.

Unless your making it completely black, or a nontransparent color, its still considered a cheat, just because light blue (or whatever) doesn't annoy you, everyone else is stuck with green, so they consider it cheating (unless everyone has it like in a mod).

I never said it was cheating.

Sure looks like you did.

How is it based on opinion? I said it annoys some people.
"Some"
And with that small fraction of people who get annoyed by it, if they think it is cheating due to an unfair advantage, then that means that even for the people who don't think it is unfair, it is still a cheat.
If one thinks it, it applies to all.
|
It is of the opinion of those some people that it is annoying.
The green in the scope is not intended to annoy you, it's intended to aid you. Last time I checked, night vision is what is supposed to give you the advantage, exactly that the green is trying to imitate.

Imitate, is a key word there, its not, and at times makes it even more difficult to see.

In your opinion it does.
|
Don't tell me what my opinion is, but speaking of aimbots, how do they work? Is it like the single player auto aim, or do they actually make you look and aim at the nearest enemy. If its like the single player auto aim, could it be rigged up to work on one specific weapon like through scripts.dll or not.

Err, so will you please post the hud file here? So, about the cheating part, cant you guys just send this to renguard to have it checked???!!! It's as simple as that.
|
Renguard doesn't decide what is cheating or not. If it did, it wouldn't allow radar hack  .
|
The radar hack is cheating, it allows you to know where people are, and the people without the hack won't know you are there. If the server was set up only to allow team radar, then it is meant to be team radar.

My scope, however, isn't a cheat since it's just realistic.
|
That statement is your opinion just as my opinion says cheat. You have modified the file to give yourself an advantage over everyone. You have, what is not freely available to everyone.
If, in the beginning, the Renegade snipers were meant to have clearscopes, to keep it realistic, then they would have been freely available. They were not and are not meant to be available, so the clearscope is cleary an adavantage skin or in some opinions "a cheat".
The skin was done as "night vision" so that the snipers did not have a total advantage as they now have.
Some servers allow clearscopes, others dont. Feel free to try it out and best of luck.
Post here to let me know when you get banned.

Not meant to be available? That must be why they let you add any custom texture to the game 
They ARE freely available and have been since the beginning of the game.

My opinion is that I can careless whether someone else has modified their scope or not. No matter what scope a person has, it doesn't matter if they still can't hit you. And a scope doesn't effect how good you are at sniping either. You can snipe with a clear, pink or blue scope for all I care, it doesn't make you any better, or any worse.

ok... what if they had a full black scope, and couldn't see anything?
That won't effect them either?

What does that have to do with anything? It doesn't effect the other players and if they're dumb enough to replace their scope with a black image then that's their problem, not anyone else's.

I am the kind of person who wants a fair fight, if they give themselves a disadvantage... then I feel bad killing them.
