That may or may not be the case, but I'd be concerned about it.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I hope so, if you are able to edit files and join a server who knows what advantges some people might give them selves.

A proper sandbox that is not given any game-alterating power would do the trick. Something like a 2nd client Lua-VM that is given readonly\aesthetic-functions, or something along those lines, think const-correctness. Though this would take a bit of work, hence my worry that so far no information has been released with regards to what is being done in this area.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And how will you decide what changes are allowed aesthetic-functions and what changes are pink models, wallhacks etc. ? Also most of the mod-able games I can think of, worked with "server needs same mod as client". I can't see how this would really undercut the modding-community.
