Watch where you get your mods -

OK, this is a warning to some of the people out there that may not watch out where you get your PK3's. A couple of friends of mine got ahold of me last night trying to figure out what was going on with one of there systems. All of a sudden one of them had no fog and he could not figure out why. He had just installed a new video card so he thought maybe that or one of its settings was causing it. So while he was out testing his FPS with the new card he went into the OPG clan server. It seems that they run dumpuser on several of the players that play there. His dumpuser was showing that he had the nofog hack installed and they called him on it. He let them know that he did not have it and could not figure out why it was saying that. He left and checked his newconfig and it still showed the no fog stuff set to 0 with the setu command. All the Setu stuff he removed and went back in and he still had no fog. But the dumpuser did not show it now.
OK, After working with him for a while I finally figured out what went wrong. It turned out that he was in the chat area and was talking about wanting a new HUD something that would look cooler then the stock one. Someone sent him a pk3 called User-sniperhud and he stuck it in his main. Well someone had stuck a autoexec.cfg in it that wrote the no fog hack into his unnamedsoldier.cfg so for some reason even though he had the nofog set to 0 in his newconfig using his setu command it still worked but showed up on the dumpuser as if it was set to 1. Which it was but he did not know it.
The whole point of this story is to let you guys know to only use pk3's from a trusted sight. Never use anything given to you by someone you do not know. There are plenty of mods here on AA (when its up) that you should be able to find something you like.
