Outspark silently supports Community Patchs

After outspark recently released a new Version of XTrap that actively looks for modified client files. I thought that would be the end of the useful patches like removing the xp-meter or fixing the bugged quests.

But: both is still possible! Outspark only added files that are known to be used for simple hacks in the XTrap check! I dont why they did that, but they are indirectly allowing such modifications with that.

Um, explain?

well since one of the last patches, xtrap checks some files if they are modified.
if they are, xtrap closes your client right away. At first i though they would check up all the .shn files. But they actually do not check up all the files.

Files that are not important in a hacking perspective, but very important from a player perspective, are not checked for modifications.

Like QuestDialog.shn(contains all the quest bugs, and they can be fixed there too) or Maininterface.TGA(the main interface texture, containing the xp-meter).
While it would have been easier to just check them all, they left (intentionly?) that gaps. So we can actually fix the quest on our own. I really don't know why outspark is not doing on there own though.

Or making a mod like removing the xp-meter from the interface, by making it 100% transparent. I did that because it would drive me nuts looking at how slow im getting xp. Removing the meter really helps.

I guess they dont mind you modifying game files that don't give u significant advantages, and only want to prevent, for instance a hack that would give u thousands of exp from a slime or that would allow players to bot? since even if u ignore ur exp it wont affect how fast u level (except maybe psycologically?)

I'm sure they mind ;p lol.
