Izzy, I like you.

up until a few years ago, "mod" in the gaming world was generally understood to be a completely reworked package; code, gameplay, items, skins, etc.

in the '90s for example, we had Quake, and then we had Quake mods, which were basically different kinds of games based on Quake's core design.

so OP is right, but so are those who disagree with him because today "mod" has many different meanings.

while we're being all nerdy about words, how about referring to cheaters as what they really are, simply "cheaters," and reserving the impressive term, "hacker," for the few who actually know what they're doing enough to deserve the title?

Yes Naka me English is not as good as yours.

I meant to say they are bight sparks like you but I got it wrong :)

I think I remember it from Pre-Algebra but that was atleast two years ago.

Yeah, thats actually a kinda arbitrary thing that isn't used much.

Ok, sorry, but I don't remember that from math class until you just mentioned it.

": doesn't equal ="

No durr it doesn't.

The :: sets up a comparison.

A:B::C:D
A is to B as C is to D

In this case, a skin is a type of mod, as a square is a type of rectangle.

@Naka I see what you mean xD, he sounded extremely dumb with his comment if you look at it for more than 1 second.

Excuse Jackster, English isn't his first language.
People call textures everything from mathacks to mods. Doesn't matter.

: doesn't equal =
Get it?

skin:mod::square:rectangle

Get it?

Ok assholes just asking. But, prepare for flaming, when I played Minecraft, Texture Packs changed how the game LOOKED while MODS changed how the game PLAYED, so I think they should be called Textures or Skins, not Mods. Just me though.

p.s. Jackster, go fuck yourself if you're just going to be an ass.

anIRISHrooster and Devas are both dumber than as each other :P

It is a mod which ever way you look at it...

im guessing when he said "wikipedia", he means wikipedia.

wikiPEDIA

That wiki

Mods = Modifications.
Now tell me that skins aren't modifications.

Whihc Wiki did you get that from? The AoS one?

Wrong. Skins are mods.

From wikipedia: Mods are made by the general public or a developer, and can be entirely new games in themselves, but mods are not standalone software and require the user to have the original release in order to run. They can include new items, weapons, characters, enemies, models, textures, levels, story lines, music, and game modes.

Note "models, textures" (not quite sure what slab6 weapons are, but they fit)

My request is less stupid than yours, yet no one answered to it yet.

My request is that everyone stops calling their SKINS for guns and such MODS, because they are not MODS. They are a re-skin of the weapons. A mod changes the coding of the game to do something different. So therefore, they are not mods, just skins.
