Carmack Re:ArenaSpy -- 9:36 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Firing Squad has put up a brief Q&A with id's John Carmack regarding the use of ArenaSpy on a pure server.
FS: GameSpy's "ArenaSpy" mod is a modified dll, but it's allowed on a pure >server. Is this because it's only a UI/menu change and not an in-engine game modification?

John Carmack: You can start with a dll ui, because pure doesn't get set until you connect to a server. Any loads after that will be pure.
This does make me wonder how easy it is to hack the client so it will "pretend" to be playing by the server's rules while actually it isn't. Thanks Voodoo Extreme.
