Question about if a certain mod is allowed

storoonnik commented 5 years ago

So I'm not sure if 5zig (https://www.5zig.net/features) is allowed on the server

It has normal, not cheat-y features such as a friends list and (why I wanted to use it) a "2nd chat" which uses filters to sort chat messages (ex. DMs, /tc, etc.) into a second chat window.

However, it allows the user to create macros, which is against the EMC rules: "Cheat clients, macro keys and other modifications which give the player gameplay leverage over other players are not allowed."

I won't use the macros, but I'm not sure if that's good enough

Yes, chat and displaying stats is fine, but I'd like a list of anything that could possibly affect gameplay and this list isn't descriptive enough to tell from looking at it.

storoonnik commented 5 years ago

This video shows the macros in action; the command could be changed to something more affective (ex. /suicide, /t withdraw, /n spawn, etc.)

KarlOfDuty commented 5 years ago

It's fine as long as they are only chat macros.

Alright, thanks!
