Why Do Some Servers?

<div class="IPBDescription">block custom models?</div> I do not see the point of this all custom models do is make ns look more to your liking its not like it gives you an extra round of hmg bullets or double hitpoints!?!?

I think they do that so that people don't use spiked models and be able to see people through walls. That's evil and is prolly a bannable offense if they find out, so servers say: "Why risk it?" and just prevent the use of custom models altogether. That makes me a little mad cuz i can't use custom bullet shell models....boooo.

like he said, prevents cheaters. let the game look like the creators want it to ffs.

would be too easy to cheat. like making a skulk model in bright orange, yellow, ..............

you would be able to see them coming from miles away.

[sarcasm]In reality, the server admins are evil fascists who want to control your every waking moment... One day they'll control your unconscious time too.[/sarcasm]

It's just one extra level of precautions against the hated cheaters.

Your question is the same as "Why do people want anti cheating programs?"

just cause my aliens are neon green and my marines are bright pink doesnt mean i cheat <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> i just like bright colors <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> j/k i have to say i prefer to play on servers with mp_consistency set to 1 it takes out a great deal of guess work on what people might be using to gain an advantage

Not really since there are no legitimate things blocked by anti cheating programs (unless its a REALLY crappy one) but both legitmate and illegitimate custom models and sounds will be blocked with consistency on. Leave me and my 5000 poly marines in peace.

I agree with Kinetic here.

same reason Quake3 has a 'pure' mode and the same reason models over a certain size are rejected by half-life.
its because of people spiking models, making them really bright colours, editing sounds to give an advantage, or removing sounds so they can hear everything (like powersilo on ns_nothing, the hive sound = agh)

well i say i rather just reinstall a clean copy of ns and play on good server like Linuxmonster than have my skins and constantly play on siege not that its a bad map its just all nubs go there...<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/2/icon2.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

VAC has been known to catch harmless hooks.

I do play on Lunixmonster, it doesn't enforce consistency.

indeed i also only use that as my ns gaming server, its a great server at that but my question is.... why the hell would people RUIN the surroundings and feelings of a fps just so they can shoot a skulk hiding in a dark corner? makes no sense ns is a team game not a ranking K:D ratio game!

Here's a quick solution: find a server that doesn't enforce it.
