kurbstomp88 25 Posted November 1, 2018 So recently in district chat ive been seeming people talking about using the old advanced launcher and custom crosshair shaders, however shaders have been stated as bannable by g1 5(?) years ago. can we get on official ruling if shaders are still seen as an unfair advantage? and bannable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kurbstomp88 25 Posted November 1, 2018 I know this hence why I said g1 stated they are bannable 5 years ago however ive seen large groups (5/6 people) openly discussing using shaders in district chat and wants to reaffirm the ruling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucidy 21 Posted November 1, 2018 Shaders for crosshairs have been bannable for years, yeah - but people currently use crosshair overlays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even from GMs. Sad, but true. come to forums to confirm what I already knew told not to trust people that clearly I didn't trust.... frankly I know they are bannable and just trying to create a sort of awareness because when I mentioned them being bannable in d to the offenders they shrugged it off and didn't believe me Edited November 1, 2018 by kurbstomp88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dasimoge 69 Posted November 1, 2018 What so ever, customizable crosshairs should be an suggestion. Such in cs:go, where you can choose between static or dynamic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't play cs:go but I also agree shaders should be an option in game, since clearly any try hard will use a work around so any advantage they were trying to prevent still exists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaming monitors have custom crosshair integrated. Like the monitor from my brother, in his options you can activate "Screen Custom Crosshair (Gaming mode need to be enabled)" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 200 Posted November 1, 2018 The problem is the company is not decisive. If I had my own way everyone should play the game Vanilla. On the other hand all the game files should be locked, If you allow the game files to be modified you can't blame people for doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hack 96 Posted November 1, 2018 Why use shaders that only work with Bloom when you can use overlays? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurbstomp88 25 Posted November 1, 2018 15 minutes ago, hack said: Why use shaders that only work with Bloom when you can use overlays? a shader and an over lay are the same thing and shaders don't show bloom wither good shaders like what I used before they were banned had custom color codes multiple reticle styles multiple reticle sizes and could be set as always on, and frankly an overlay is the same thing as a shader, the only difference being shaders are in game files overlays are overlays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Shaders are not the same as overlays. Just so everyone knows. But yeah, shaders are both bannable, and widely used. Hell one guy even streams the sweet patootie Borderlands Shader with a center dot. That being said, if you for whatever reason decide to use them... know you can be banned at any time. Not at all worth IMO. Edited November 1, 2018 by CookiePuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
