sucks for anyone that did anything recently, and now they can't use it soon =/ oh well, it was in the sc2 terms anyways, that you can't (or not supposed to, or w/e) change/modify stuff, i guess Hmm if this does prevent some level of hacking, then awesome  . This will stop all internal hacks then...? At least until hackers find out how to unlock this or whatever or somehow get around it? I wonder if it'll stop external hacks too then or not. | ||

I wonder if it'll stop external hacks too then or not.This will stop very few hacks, I'm afraid. Basically, the stuff the game uses is loaded into the RAM of your computer, which is quickly read and written to by the game. Maphacks and production tab hacks don't read the MPQs or interact with them directly, but instead read your computer RAM, find the game data that's on it (and constantly being updated while you play) and reads that, finding out what your RAM knows-- the state of the game, what your opponent has, etc. It then operates a UI-like overlay (think about a stream overlay, for example) that's external to Sc2. Very few, if any hacks read MPQs directly. It's likely this behavior is unintentional on blizzard's part, probably something they used for the PTR or just updating files more easily. They are in favor of the team color mod, as we know. | ||

Hmm I remember seeing option to change language in-game in options in some preview screenshots, it was either HOTS or 1.5, can anyone confirm? EDIT: yup, it was announced for HOTS (here) | ||

if it really came down to minor visual customization vs. patching methods that aid in unfair modifations, i don't think you can even really defend modifiying a few pictures while everyone else suffers. if this does actually end up being an effort to improve the deterrence of hacking, i applaud whoever made the decision to take one for the team. | ||

If it effects tourneys then people need to start being more strict on hackers and never let them compete in a tourney again. Because if you let them run rampant every single game on ladder you play will be a hacker. It endangers the validity of Sc2 as an esport. | ||
