<div class="IPBDescription">What does it block, again?</div> Can I use custom crosshairs with consistency on?

Exactly what is checked for consistency when the variable is turned on?

    As far as I know,

    - <i>Some</i> models are checked (I think you -can- get away with some custom models, but the vast majority (player weapons, and view models) are blocked.
    - Of the sprites, muzzlefashes are checked. You can get away with custom HUD sprites (from crosshairs to upgrade icons).
    - I <i>think</i> sounds are enforced too, but it's been a while since I've used any custom ones.

    A wide array of sprites and non-mp3 sounds files may be changed with consistency on. Caleague allows people in the NS division to change crosshairs, HUDs, ambient sounds, and minimaps. Most of us use smaller "+" shaped crosshairs and more minimal huds to help us with our game or for asthetic reasons. Quite a few people I'd imagine also put in blank ambient sounds to get rid of the annoying ones that are presently there.

    as far as i know, consistency 1 blocks:

    * player models
    * v_models
    * wav
    if changed

    doesn't block sprites, therefor you can use custom crosshairs

    exceptions: digesting.spr, muzzleflash (?) and some more

    Or increase the volume of sounds they want to hear...

    Yes, muzzle-flash is checked.

    either listenservers don't work with consistency or you can change v_ models.

    I think that would force everyone else to use the same v_model as YOU do (since consistency compares the checksum or w/e for the person who is joining's models with those on the server)

    It compares your checksums with those of the server, not those of the people on the server, as far as I know.

    I don't know but we'd better find out what it blocks since the sooner we know precisely what NS files it's looking for, the sooner we can go through all the other files and delete them or make them better for us!

    This "mp_consistency" thing is pretty cool, but I can't help but wish there was some command for high level or competitive play where the game would make sure you weren't altering its files COUGH HAHA COUGH excuse me..
