Right, "to not tell the client". The only other entity that *could* tell the client anything is the server. Thus, can the server be persuaded to not tell the client about stuff.

At least, that's how I read it.

He used a double negative and was confusing

Agreed. But we made sense of it, in the end. All's well, and so on.

Note: I haven't used PiP or seen the code, so what I say may be off

The problem with PiP is that the client is already given the other players location and rotation as long as they are nearby (I imagine the same distance that PiP works in), so you just need the code to give a view of the world rendered from those co-ordinates. Even if from the start PiP was written like

if(serverSideAllows() && hatersDontHate()) {
  enablePiP()
}

It is simple to bypass

• Remove the server checking code
• Stop the server mod being required
  
• Change the mod ID so it is not seen as the same mod.

And the exact people you are worried about are the same people not affected.

Are griefers really likely to bother to do that though?

I'm wondering how not sending the data when they are not looking would affect F5 and the mechanism of players names showing through walls.

It would only take a griefer with a file sharing (e.g. dropbox) account and the means to tell other people the link (forums, youtube clips, etc.)

:facepalm:

Guys, can we please keep the discussion to the RED thread, and the updates here? I come here seeing that there are new posts, and see that there is nothing "new".

Good suggestion because I wanted to say this

Give it a temporary name that has nothing to do with the mod's theme and focus.

I think it should be Michael's Magic Coremod

Anyway, Eloraam now has a patreon.
http://www.patreon.com/Eloraam

That's pretty old news, she has had that for almost two weeks now if not more. Also, she is near $350 a month already. That's nothing to sneeze at, maybe she can take a day off each month to program and reply to tweets.

You have to worry about the grimiest people when it comes to this stuff.

Nothing may come of it. People like me could be called out for hype. But to err on the side of caution is not a bad thing.

 

[RedBoss]

Well this is is her third or fourth week giving tweet updates already

 

[Yusunoha]

Being lazy I have a hard time seeing this as a bad thing. More power to them I say =)

not saying it's a bad thing, it's not bad at all, I'm just saying what I've been noticing

 

[Yusunoha]

Coming soon to a mod near you!

somehow my wallet is empty but I'm still throwing money at my monitor

Well this is is her third or fourth week giving tweet updates already

has it already been that long?

Personally I can't see griefers using it anyway; its more an intrusion/violation rather than an unfair gameplay advantage.

Given that player position/rotation is sent to the client- there's other client sided mods that can track player positions in ways 'useful' to griefers.

[Actually I can see server admins using this to keep and eye on potential griefers]

If it could work from an unlimited distance maybe. But you have to be in a relatively close distance. To see anything.

 

[Mevansuto]

yes, i reported it a couple pages back.

Oh.

This happens every time.

 

[NJM1564]

You need to start camping twitter.

 

[DZCreeper]

You need to start camping twitter.

Or a set of train air horns that fire everytime a modder pushes a new commit to Github. Whatever works best.

Do you have 144 problems but modded minecraft ain't one of them?

Twelve twelves, or one gross. A significant number at the start of the Lord of the Rings (Bilbo's party), if you've read the book.
