What skin colors are {bannable}??
_Fuzz_ - Lost City
Posts: 45 Arc User
I was contacted by a GM because i was a little bit underfeed and i had red skin. for the record i wanted to change me look soon anyways. b:laugh
My skin color is red and i am told to change it. what colors should i not be? i personaly have seen many people that are various colors ranging from black to white to blue to yellow, but why not red?
back to the topic;
are there certian colors that are not allowed and why are they not allowed?
Are certian colors restricted to sertian classes?
is there a reason a perticular skin color is not allowed? (eg. makes server less efficent "lag")
thnks for the reply.
P.S. the biggest question of all:
What do you think i should look like? other then "you should look normal"
EDIT:
I would like a serious GM response of the topic of the post as i don;t want to change to a color on the color scheme and them say no again and have to just click a preset and look like the other 3000 sins that don;t know how to click the adv. option in the customize menu.

Any customization that you cannot obtain without editing files is illegal.
Simple as that.I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.0 -
Maybe they thought. (Or you did) Alter the PWI files..That's bannable, and are you sure it was a GM or some player claiming to be a GM?_Fuzz_ - Lost City wrote: »I was contacted by a GM because i was a little bit underfeed and i had red skin. for the record i wanted to change me look soon anyways. b:laugh

ok so why do i see clerics w/ bright blue skin?
or why "whom will not be named" spends alot of $ into the game, yet "that person" gets away w/ what i need to change. this post is regarding the fact that "that person" is a different class. So im asking if there is "class-ism" in the games customization menu?

Majority of those colors you can't do unless you edit the .ini files on the game. Thus why. b:surrender0 -
I have agreed to give my char steroids to look buff like the other 30000 sins (even though there are plenty of other chars on this game and the cn version that look the same as me), im just curious why i can't be red. That is my question to GMs.
My question to the rest of you is what i should look like when i change it.0 -

so why is it that they can do it and i can't? and 80% of them are very well known to where i know gms have seen them at some point.0 -

This. If your sin is pure red: Bible- devil- stereotypical- fire-truck red, then that's from editing the files.
TBH, I don't understand what the big deal is. You gain no advantage over another player to extend your character's customization through editing INI files.
EDIT: If you see those people violating what is normal customization, screen it with their name showing, open a ticket and attach the file. Also, be sure to open up the drop down menu on their avatar and click the button "Report ****."[In a distorted place and time][The knife that stabbed me in the back grants me wings]

THANK YOU!!! and seing as the INI foles are not stored on the server it self, i don't see how it effects it. Personal i think if it wasn't ment to be done, then why are there boundries set outside of the customization menus limits?
If they wanted to set the bounndries to what they are in the customization menu then why not set those same boundries in the INI files so no one would be able to effect them at all.
yes i did look a bit like a fire truck, but when i killed someone they will know what hit them b:chuckle.0 -

How is this hard to understand?
They can't do it either.
If a GM catches them at it, they'll get the same "Oi, change it" message, and the escalating to (eventually) a ban that you did.
Send in a ticket to complain about them, I suggest.
You got your skin colour by editing the text files of the game directly. You know that's not allowed. Complaining that you got caught is just silly.0 -

I'm not banned, and i already had plans to change it anyways so im not complaining about it. if ya read the post completely i am simply asking if certian colors are restricted to certian classes. and next time i see a gm next to "said person before" and they don't change/get banned ill post a SS.
my main argument is that lots of people here do it, almost everyone in cn server does it ( and pretty much everything they do we do *eg: nerf 3 spark from stealth), and y is it an issue in the first place? (eg. it causes server troubles, lag, or other complications to the game)0 -

Not true, for tideborn at least you are given the option of virtually any colour for you skin colour, its right their in the chacractrer creation page under skin colour.What kind of fool pays for a free game.0 -
You were caught editing an INI file outside of the in game editor. That is not allowed and that is why you were contacted. I'm not sure why that is hard to understand. It has nothing to do with a specific color and everything to do with the actions you took.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

W would like to see a picture of this character. I'm going to see if I can recreate it myself, and I'll post pictures if it can be. and yes, there are ALOT of people how have been banned for etiding the inis I will make a note to take some screenshots to show some of the outlandish things I've seen.0

If you're using features, colors and/or body part sizes not available in the creation options for the character's class, then yes it's bannable.Somewhat retired from PWI, now playing Hellgate Global full time0

ppl from LC thinks that same rules goes here as in MY-EN...0

He never said he was editing files, if you look under character customization, you have a choice of virtually any skin color. He's asking why his skin color was not allowed (since he didn't edit files) "I'm not sure why that is hard to understand."Lost City Sage barb and Retired Coven Marshal.0 -

You actually have a very limited range of available colors with the ingame editor. This fact should be obvious when the space of all colors is a 3 dimensional volume yet the in game color picker only allows you to pick one point of a two dimensional square.
He doesn't have to admit to it to be caught doing it.
He pretty much admited to INI editing when he justified INI editing here._Fuzz_ - Lost City wrote: »THANK YOU!!! and seing as the INI foles are not stored on the server it self, i don't see how it effects it.

... and to clarify a tad, the title of the thread is a tad misleading...
Like has been said earlier on in this thread, "It is NOT the color itself that is ban worthy. It is the FACT that SOME colors are not obtainable without editing client side files (outside of the game) -- which IS NOT ALLOWED --PERIOD--"
This is and has been a well known rule for at least this version of the game. What other versions do or do not allow are irrelevant here - DUH! So I say, yes, if you're caught with a character customization that clearly violates this rule - then -- here's your ban --
Saying "other people can do it" o.O seriously - DUH - I can go out and commit a murder (like a serial killer), does that make it legal -- no... Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's acceptable... or legal.
I'm not even saying I'm for or against the rule; simply saying "it's a rule, and that's how it is". I can say that complaining about it in the forum will get us no where, GMs hardly read this ****. I also know/believe that at one point in time this rule made more sense, when people were utilizing it as an advantage, because way back once upon a time you could not 'click on people' in the nearby player list, you actually HAD to click ON THEM. So yes, back then it made more sense, that it was an exploit -- however now like I said you can 'target' a player by clicking on him from the nearby player list and or <tab> so... Maybe this rule is a tad 'dated'... However if you, I, or anyone else want something revised about this rule we should be submitting tickets, not QQing on the boards

I'm not sure if anyone is comprehending it but i said before that i am NOT Banned for the matter, i just changed it to a different color, and this was not intended as a "QQ" post it was just to see what the "bannable colors" were and an explanation of why they are not allowed if they are in the developed coding.
@ Astrelle :
The reason for this post was to see why my specific color (red) was such a bannable offence as it doesn;t effect the server/gameplay of the game in general, other then making me look badass-ish. your correct about there being a 3D color spectrum but only a 2D available and im asking why is it that those other colors exist at all if we are unable to use them. It seems like a waste of code to have something in the game that is "not supposed to be used".
If the original development of the game was to uphold limitations of the customize menu, then why have the wider spectrum there in the first place? Why not "trim" the code on the server's end to make that range unreadable to where it can;t be changed outside the intended range available. Doing so would seem to free up a bit a space in the game, and it would keep players from ever being able to create a "bannable appearance."0 -

Why did you skip to the conclusion that the color got you caught? From what I've read here, it seems PW is cracking down more on ppl abusing the "skinny" effect, since it DOES affect game physics in your favor.And I will strike down on thee with great vengeance and furious anger...the life you thought you led is gone, and your catshop is on an island surrounded by dinosaurs.0 -

The only place "Skinny" is abnormal to physics is in Texas.
I wasn't mutated skinny, i was normal looking skinny, i was just like everyone else just i didn;t look like i took a hand full of steroids every morning.
I talked to the GM for quite some time and at first the only thing i was told to change was my color. they didn't even mention my skinny nerd look till about 15-20 mins into conversation. So it's safe to say i'm not jumping to any conclusions.0 -
If you edited game files then it's bannable.
Your right to think that it doesn't affect anyone, but I personally believe this is just PWI's way of covering up their insecurities about how easily the game can be tampered with b:chuckle0
