Thinking of using these client-side mods - doveman - 10-21-2012

Looking around for mods to increase my SP performance I came across these gdt mods, which haven't really made any difference but some of them look quite handy anyway and I was thinking of using them on co-op nights but wanted to check whether anyone thinks any of them would come under the category of "unfair advantage" before doing so.

They're all on the one page so I'll just list the ones I'm thinking of using http://www.gdt-server.net/www/index.php?site=files&cat=9

gdtmod_aircraft_viewdistance 1.02
gdtmod_anti_tank_grenade_launcher_ironsights 1.02
gdtmod_binocular 1.03
gdtmod_compass 1.02
gdtmod_engineoff 1.00
gdtmod_environment 1.02
gdtmod_environment_addon_islands 1.00
gdtmod_friendly_tag 1.03 (probably not needed as well as mk4 hud)
gdtmod_hdr 1.01
gdtmod_helicopter_weapons 1.05
gdtmod_no_optic_reflection 1.00
gdtmod_nvgoggles 1.01
gdtmod_plants2 1.00
gdtmod_rifle_zoom 1.06
gdtmod_satchel 1.01
gdtmod_steerable_parachute 1.01
gdtmod_streetlamp 1.00
gdtmod_sun 1.00
gdtmod_vehicle_weapon_sight 1.02

Some of them might be irrelevant to the islands/missions we play anyway but just let me know if you don't want me to use any of them or if they might conflict with any of the required/recommended mods.

Judging from the page and my instinct, I think the green ones should be ok, orange ones I consider and unfair advantage, and red ones can cause server/mission problems:
gdtmod_aircraft_viewdistance 1.02
gdtmod_anti_tank_grenade_launcher_ironsights 1.02
gdtmod_binocular 1.03
gdtmod_compass 1.02

gdtmod_engineoff 1.00
gdtmod_environment 1.02
gdtmod_environment_addon_islands 1.00

gdtmod_friendly_tag 1.03 (probably not needed as well as mk4 hud)
gdtmod_hdr 1.01
gdtmod_helicopter_weapons 1.05
gdtmod_no_optic_reflection 1.00
gdtmod_nvgoggles 1.01
gdtmod_plants2 1.00
gdtmod_rifle_zoom 1.06
gdtmod_satchel 1.01
gdtmod_steerable_parachute 1.01
gdtmod_streetlamp 1.00
gdtmod_sun 1.00
gdtmod_vehicle_weapon_sight 1.02


Basically all red marked ones can have a global effect, and potentially break missions or other confusing stuff. Note that I didn't test any of this, just common sense.

Changing NV, zoom or sights is is a bit cheating  in my opinion, better not use them.

Cool, thanks for taking the time to look over my list.

I'll make sure I only use the green ones online then.

Wonder why Six Updater doesn't list most of those?

they may be marked as private. If you dont want your stuff on their network then they wont put it up.
