The only good thing to come of this is no more color mods! Unless it blocks hacking somehow, but even then, i doubt it would prevent hacks longer than warden did.

I was seriously so close to getting around to swapping my sc2 sounds to BW sounds. Thats a real bummer.

Good call by Blizzard.

Now is the perfect opportunity to ask Blizzard for features such as Stronger Team Colors, to be an option in-game.




Yes!! i recently started using the Stronger Team Colour. it NEEDS to be implemented.

If it will actually stop hacking... then I'm all for this. They better know what they're doing, though... my custom backgrounds

I'm hopeful that Blizzard will re-introduce methods for things like color mod or maybe custom backgrounds. They're features that the community likes and (I hope) shouldn't pose problems to the potential counter-hacking their methodology brings.

noooo, i can only tolerate playing with bw sounds haha. this is really unfortunate. BW sounds and music seriously add so much to the game, nostalgia or otherwise it makes playing so much nicer!

lol. Knowing how Blizzard works, Stronger Team Color will not work anymore (which I find actually very useful, makes it easier for me to see units and shit) and meanwhile people will still be able to hack.

They should be focusing more on making a good AH for the game instead of worrying about banning stupid shit like better colors in-game and backrounds. Way to fuck up your priorities...

I don't think they set out to ban them, it's more just an unfortunate side effect of allowing the client to be streamed in piece by piece.

Good detective work, I'm glad someone brought it up because the strong colors mod is definitely useful to people with colorblindness, you should post it on the battle.net forums.

Well, Browder and Kim have said that they support Stronger Color Mod, so it's not like this change is specifically to remove modding because they think it's a problem.

They're just trying to streamline the install process and reduce disk space, and inadvertently it kills little community projects like that. If someone can figure out how to patch the files without causing it to re-download, I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with it, but with how hashing works I'm sure that would be fairly difficult.

More control on what people do probably.
Including hack if we're lucky.

They're temporary or forever banning people, who is posting on their forums any stuff or information about any MPQ modifying, including Stronger Team color mod, BW sounds, customized backgrounds, etc, and any other non-cheating customization.

If you want, you can repost (I don't have US account, I'm at EU), but don't refer to me, just copypast my post under your name and your thread. If you want.

Are you suggesting someone pay for the hacks and test them?

What if you set the files to read only would it still attempt to redownload/replace?

I was able to search for a number of threads that were about it but the authors weren't banned, but I guess it's best not to chance it. The reply would likely be the same though, that the modification of game files is not allowed under the ToS so don't do it.
