VCMP gameplay is already so shitty due to these laggers i don’t want these mods to fuck it up more.
how would those mods fuck the game up, they're aesthetic. They have no impact on gameplay whatsoever.
ASI nonsense
I see stormeus is a man of stupendous taste, Shame.
I think he barely has interest for the game anymore
I have zero faith in the community as a whole to responsibly use something so powerful
what confusion will those few mods will make?
Quite literally stormeus had widescreen fix planned to be built in VCMP so it's feasible to fix those "confusions".
and there are only two confusions, one with the first person mod iirc and the other with the widescreen fix, which i think both can be built in just like widescreen is planned to be the next update.
you say hackers, hackers today use .exe files so almost no difference. Every year, every month there will be a new hack released, and a youtube video about it aswell, hacks appear, its creators are actively working on new
effective ones due to the hatred they root to this community, there are still hackers, joining the game every single day. but you're still so reluctant, so convinced that allowing .asi would change everything.
and what about my suggestion that nobody cared to reply to? :
I have a solution, how about manually adding each mod into a whitelist, with a specific name and specific file size.
that if anyone wanted to hide a hack behind a popular mod's name, he'll fail because it is near impossible it will match the same file size.
and keep the same .asi ban you guys are posing.
in SAMP, they code entire scripts that detect weird behavior in
pawn, which I see VC:MP's greatest minds fail to deliver in much more refined languages like java and c++, so what about the whitelist solution?
I understand you're trying to keep the game as competitive as possible, but do keep in mind that anyone who'd come back to play this game in 2020 or even play it the first time in their lives, they definitely won't play it in its vanilla state, it's old, it aged like a fine milk, first thing they do is google up some good mods that improve the visual of the game, and there is a shitton of videos about that, shitton of guides in gtaforums and also shitton of people who install these mods, finish the game, and want more, many of them would think of multiplayer but to their disappointment. they'll get banned.
you're the ones who are into DM, that won't bother you, just think of everyone else who wants to enjoy other aspects of this game. I see it selfish to deprive people of these mods due to mere assumptions that it will fuck up the gameplay or increase hackers, both of which are wrong and are refutable.
you want more players, then try more solutions, it's time you change something, because your casual A/D parties are getting more dull and boring. it's about time VCMP will die.
this is my last post on this matter,
