  Hello guys. I was afk at 4D casino. When I came back I found myself banned for illegal modifications, even though im using cac.  Awaiting some kind of explanation, thanks in advance.

Hello, Mario_Soprano!

 

Thank you for submitting an unban request, our staff members will review it shortly. Until then, follow some of these instructions:

1. Do not message staff members to review your unban request, it will result in extension of its reviewal time.
2. Be honest and do not attempt to lie to us. We will deny your request upon discovering lies.
3. Getting banned multiple times is a serious concern and should not happen at all. With every ban your chances of unban are reduced.

 

In the meantime, do not attempt to ban evade. That will directly lead to denial of your request.

Hello.

 

Yesterday, during Ocean Docks turf, our anti cheat detected you of using modified weapon.dat files which can be done to gain advantage in shooting.

 

Care to explain?

[David.]

Hello again Craze. Thank you for clarifying.  Yesterday I was forced to use the CAC, and I installed it without hesitation. In my cleo folder, all you can find is a spread.cs file, for the aim. (which most players use as it is not illegal)? I was shocked when I found myself banned honestly, because I was AFK, and didn't expect it.

Hello again Mario, thanks for replying.

 

spread.cs is infact illegal. It doesn't let the bullets spread away from your aim and all the shoots go exactly to the place you aim.

[David.]

With all honesty, Craze, I was not aware of spread.cs being illegal, as always seeing people in this community post videos where they use spread file and other modifications, and admins never said a word about it.  I will take no other exmample but Billy himself who is an administrator has his own topic where he posts video montages recorded ingame, feel free to check his videos in the following link as he can be seen using spread in each of the videos. 

With all sincerity, I never thought of spread being illegal. If I did, I would have removed it from my Cleo folder upon installing the CAC.

 

PS: The spread file did not work anymore as I installed the CAC and new SA:MP version as instructed at mudoogaming.com/cac.

 

Sincerely, looking forward to getting unbanned, Mario.

 

Plenty of videos of Billy himself recording with spread, below:

Billy doesn't use spread.cs. If you watch the video carefully, he waits for the crosshair to return to it's default state before shooting, which doesn't make the bullets spread.

 

We understand you may not have been aware of it, thank you for admitting.

 

Please do get a clean copy of GTA SA and reply here once done. We will proceed with the unban appeal afterwards.

Is that not what we see in each of Billy's videos? His bullets do not spread, all the shoots go to the place he aims. How is that not spread, cs? I have the exact same thing as Billy, nothing else. Small crosshair, bullets go straight where you aim at. Hence seeing it from an administrator (not to start giving links of other community members who posted videos with the same modification), it convinced me even more that this would never be something illegal. 

 

As we are talking, I am re-installing a fresh new GTA:SA with CAC and no modifications. Will reply once again when done.

Having a small crosshair does not change recoil or accuracy in anyway; it is purely visual. My bullets most certainly do spread, and if you actually watch any of my videos closely you'll see there are many instances where I put my crosshair right on someone but miss due to recoil. You can pretty much watch any of my videos and notice that my shotgun isn't doing 30-40 damage consistently (as it would be if I was using nospread and aiming directly at people). 

 

I'm not going to go hunt down 50 examples for you, but here's the first one I found at the 0:15 mark of this video:

 

Spoiler

 

 

As you can see in the photo below, my crosshair is directly on the cop, yet the bullet misses. Had I have been using nospread, it would have damaged him. You can also take note of the fact that according to my crosshair, the bullet should hit. However, because I am using a crosshair that is smaller than the default one, it does not accurately represent the accuracy/recoil of the deagle; so the shot misses.

 

Spoiler

 

 

Many people seem to be confused about this, so I have taken the liberty to make a video demonstrating the difference:

 

 

 

The version of nospread you're describing is one where the crosshair doesn't even expand, which should make it pretty obvious that you are not doing what I am doing in my videos. 

 

Which is what I truly don't believe- or understand. Someone who has been playing SAMP for years thinks using nospread would be allowed? How would a CLEO that eliminates ALL recoil and makes your weapons perfectly accurate be allowed? I don't believe for one minute you actually weren't aware that spread.cs wasn't allowed. I think you're pleading ignorance in hopes of an easier punishment; but that's just my opinion. 

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since you were nice and came out clean without any bullshit you will be unbanned on 1st June.
