I hope Blizzard adds in-game mod support somehow so we can still use things like STC.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

too bad, that all the work into custom mods... well you know

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.

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.

Well lets hope region change programs like bigfoot sc2 launcher still work, so you could atleast use the kr client on the eu server.

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)

I'm going to miss my awesome BW overlords and my Dragoon sounds... If this prevents any hacks and cheats that's cool but I feel like it probably doesn't do much for that.

I don't think it will do anything to the most popular hacks, since those are external to SC2. They don't modifiy any file, they just manipulate memory offsets (vocabulary may be not exact). Maybe they identified something that could be abused with modding MPQs or something..

Oh kk, so maybe it will be different once it's out.

Damnit I need the stronger team colors mod, I am Color blind and without it, it makes ZvZ a real pain in the ass... I think Orb and a lot of other people use this MOD because they are color blind too, come on Blizzard...Damnit..

Actually this will just fuck with cool community mods, and not affect hackers one bit. Why the hell is this happening anyways, what was the urgent need for this?

What blizzard needs to do is release a modding tool for the public that is permitted by blizzard that doesn't directly modify game files, but directly effects sounds etc in your ladder games. See: Valve.

Whats the big deal with hackers anyway? You play em, they beat you one game and you get on with your life. If it effects tourneys then people need to start being more strict on hackers and never let them compete in a tourney again.

i would suspect this has more to do with opening regions soon and keeping client versions consistant more than anything else.

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.

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.

If they are to disable the possibility to use stronger team color mod, then they should also do like LoL and put a colorblind mod in the options. I don't want my PvPs to go back to misclicking the wrong units 50% of the time because they are hard to differentiate... Otherwise, if it can really disable hacking once and for all (which I doubt a lot), I am all for it.
