Most server do enforce it, fortunately.

They do enforce it but I believe the default checks do not include textures and must be added by the server admin manually.
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->{
"check": [ "game_setup.xml", "*.lua", "*.fx", "*.screenfx", "*.surface_shader", "*.fxh", "*.render_setup", "*.shader_template" ]
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
That's not to say that there might not be a problem with consistency checking, but that screenshot hardly proves anything. And modded does not equal cheating, only modding outside of the allowed parameters would.
The fun benefit outweighs the abuse with neon textures. Competitive and super serious servers will enforce the consistency anyway, just like NS1.
It'd be great if NSArmslab came back. It'd be a shame if they had nothing to do IF they came back.
Seriously, quit screaming and calm down. UWE is aware of things like this, and they're working on them; if you need to turn skulks green to hit them, you're probably a bad enough player to be easily taken down anyway.
At least that's possible in Source, might be different in Spark.
edit: also people were messaged that day!
Raising awareness about a guy raising awareness?

Argathors thread is about the same , we were together on the stream and talking about it in chat...
1. Improved consistency check that includes textures and models.
2. First person spectating.
3. Demo/replay recording.
Edit: Fourth point was fail, removed.
Some of the mods I play with are indeed using modified DDS files, however mine are purely aesthetic (NS1 alien skins and black armored/plated weapons and gloves). I've said it before, that those kinds of mods will probably be disabled once phase two of consistency checking goes in.
For competitive matches with prices involved or showmatches even, they can already be included in the check anyway. I just hope there will be a white listing option soon, for some of the aesthetic mods, or mods in general. I just hate to play with purple aliens and want my nostalgia aliens for pub play!!! And my crosshairs and my black amoured/plated weapons and gloves :(
Well the crosshairs DDS file should be exclude in any case from the consistency checking and the weapons and gloves mods could be excluded as well (community managed?). It's just the other dds files that are a bit... Prone to stuff like this, hot pink rifles for instance :P
me too

Then the pro players in Quake must be really bad!

Yeah sorry but if people can change textures and models, they will for an edge. Change all textures to a solid grey, change enemies to a bright red - blam you will always notice anything from any distance.
I hate people :(
I say this frequently. The world would be much better without them. Without people there would be no traffic to get stuck in, no queues in coffee shops, etc. Life would be great!
I guess its "This is why we can't have nice things". I still stick with it.
Indeed :(
Ah well, we still need a global Workshop white listing system and a server side one as well, for valid mods be it gameplay or aesthetics... that is what we can take home from thsithread
^both are known and the devs are on it. Workshop in general needs a better sorting system instead of this big bucket of stuff it is now!
What about stuff like hiding weapon models? aka, holo rifle by aageon, or arkanti's hack mod on workshop right now. Changing skins and models has the potential to be very hacky, like putting great big horizontal spikes on models so you can see them around corners.
If that's so then on the flip side, high level players doesn't need and shouldn't have any more edge other than they already have by just playing well against players too casual not to want to turn their game into "click the colors" to prevail. These sort of low level cheats are poison, nothing good will come from them taking root in the community.
1. Improved consistency check that includes textures and models.
2. First person spectating.
3. Demo/replay recording.
4. Something to prevent players from using macros to max out their pistol fire rate; for example changing the pistol fire rate cap to simply stop the pistol from firing at all when you hit it (so if you click too fast, or use a macro to spam fire commands, it won't fire at all).<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hopefully all 4 will be implemented in the near future.
it should be, it's an .fx file

Don't believe that you can do this since Spark doesn't have recognize transparency, my guess would be that it would distort a lot of things. And having no textures on the walls would really do more harm than good anyway since you couldn't tell what you could shoot.
