Uses for packet mangling

#1 Post by vitriol »

PacketParser.pm gives methods for plugins to block packets from reaching the client in xkore mode. What are some uses for this feature?

block spambot chat
Maya Purple hack -but there won't be any indication that the player is supposed to be hidden, so you could easily be found to be cheating
remove blind effect -but this is done easily using grf edits (unless the grf is protected)

Anything else?
