Competitive Ruleset Clarifications
Just to clarify @ESG and @ESL
First-party settings that require third-party programs to activate - i.e. shadows, the "beep" noise whenever your crosshair goes over your opponent (stupidly useful for smoke, Brando uses it), 1920 rez. Are these allowed?
Secondly, are third-party programs that do not directly effect the first-party files -- such as gamebooster, WtFast, etc. -- allowed? ESL says "No, because they effect reg", which doesn't really make much sense, other than gamebooster potentially giving you better reg. But, the question remains for ESG -- are they allowed?
I would like an official ruling, rather than "just hope for it, but all we can guarantee is a fresh install will ever be allowed".
Personally, I think "Fresh installations only, no killmarks or killsound changes allowed" would be the best way of going about it, since I doubt in China any of the teams are able to access the game client's files (please, correct me if I'm wrong, those of you who've been to China for this game in recent years). Also, I think that the best ruling you can make for third-party programs is simply "Yes, any program you do not use to intentionally lower FPS".
Just would like to - finally - have an official ruling on these things.
Also, @ESG. Moss is a requirement for ESL, because it makes it so that players cannot fake screenshots, and therefore it removes the possibility of armour. Have you considered using Moss instead of simply making people request screenshots -- in which case they are easily faked (#snitchez)?

Cant you just open the winrar moss makes, and replace the screenshots in there?(With the same name as the moss screenshot file) -

Edit: I took a brief look at it. It registers a hash to each individual screenshot and puts it in the log file. Any changes or replacements would have a different hash. If the admins bothered to check, they could see which / if any screenshots were faked. -

ESL disallows them because they affect your systems registry, not hit registration in the game. You have misunderstood in what "reg" was being talked about. -

Ah, okay. That makes more sense.kingdooper wrote: »How do i enable this beep noise?
I double-checked, and apparently I was mistaken about the beep noise. So much for trusting other people to be right. I won't let you down again, Doop Sir.
Edit: Close please @mods. Polleus has a better thread up and running now.
