Gotta love mods. Team Coloured flames!

Outstanding mod. I recommend you guys download:

"Team colored fire for the Flamethrower. Made to make telling apart enemy pyros in large fire fights easier. I have seen a lot of requests for it so here it is. It took me about five hours of modification until I got something I liked. If there is anything people would like improved, or changed, feel free to ask.
Installation: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\ACCOUNTNAME\team fortress 2
Thanks to Valve for the original textures and files I have used, and modified.
You may not use anything included in the file for anything other than stated unless i have given strict permission."

I would assume that that is technically a mod that grants an unfair advantage. It allows you to discern enemies from allies more easily.

I hate pyros.

Are there rules from Valve or eGO on what's allowed in terms of mods? Do things like this trigger SteamGuard or whatever anti-cheating measures they have? I know the eGO Minecraft division has a list on what's allowed.

I know back in the Quake 3 days you'd force all players to a huge brightly-colored model. It wasn't considered cheating since it's a built-in model, but it certainly gives an advantage over someone who didn't use such a setting.

Well, I don't think that it could trigger the automatic VAC mod detection, since it's just a texture. However, I've seen mod creators criticized for texture and sound mods that jeopardize the enemy team. The only way I could see this as fair would be if it were an item attachment or a misc, not a mod. Players should be allowed the choice whether their flame is visibly color coded to their team.

VAC, yeah, that's what it's called. Forgot the name. =)

Seems legit

It's not much of an advantage. To be fair, everyone's running around with red/blue plastered all over them. This is simply a flame change to the team's colors.

A guy actually showed this to me this morning....
