<div class="IPBDescription">a pre built hack in everyones game!</div> hey guys i was playing some weeks ago and i was cloaked, and believe it or not, this ONE guy saw all the cloakers. and i played with him a couple of times and he didnt hack. and he told me he uses his gamma at a high area so he can see the cloakers. so i was wondering if this is actually cheating, and if it is please fix. it is unfair to us.

nothing can realy be done about it b/c those controlls need to be in there.
play on servers with better admins.
Ban him if you see that guy again, or request a ban from an admin. You have the proof.
EDIT: You and I both know that gamma isnt bright enough when set at max.
and tweaking things like gama to exploit all depends on your rig.
I CAN do it if I want (My gama in NSP is rather low, if I crank it I will get the washed out effects etc)

I have played since NS was released. Listen to me.
When the model becomes transparent, you can see through it BUT its like clear tinted glass, slightly tinted by the skin of the model. if you had a glass sphere tinted slightly green, the edges which cross over closer to the other edges are less transparent as the tint stacks up.
Attached is a TINY 4kb image demonstrating.
For an experiment, try getting some of that see-thru tinted paper and place another piece on it. The colour will darken.
In this manner, if you look closely you can make out the OUTLINE of the model, as the edging is darker than the body. This also makes the walls seem to 'bump out' when you look at them, giving the alien away, but only if you look very close.
Even knowing this, unless you know the alien is in the room, you need a keen eye to spot them. Some people are like me, and are just talented. Must have been all those "Where's Wally?" books i read as a kid... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I have been banned once myself for your kind of "hack" you describe. It ended up with the admin losing his priveledges, as it was secretly my server. So watch what you say.
There's no reason to ban that guy, since there is no proof he's using a wall hack.
I seriously hope that Half Life 2 has godly anti-hacks built in, because I seriously hate always wondering if someone is hacking or not. The best players in CS can hit you through a wall, no hacks involved. The best players in NS can hit almost anything that walks, no hacks involved. And yet, there is always that chance, and that is what bothers me the most.
I know this because when i played the Warcraft 3 addon for Counter-Strike i used to do that, coz level 3 invisibility made them evven more invisible than in NS.
I don't do that in Natural-Selection though because, well, not having recoil seems to give me the level of concentration needed to spot them ridiculously easily at normal gamma levels.
