Thread: ttp pr server

Just a note to those who don't want to risk this enough to be willing to turn off all sprays, you can set cl_playerspraydisable 1 (Put it in autoexec.cfg if you just want it every time) and then not have to deal with any of them. At least, I think it works, I haven't tested.

I'd note that people also like to do things like spray boomers on walls and other irritating cheap-shots, so personally I just have them disabled because I have yet to have had my gameplay improved by someone's spray.

While I am not offended by pornographic images, I don't see how they are necessary in this setting. I have always seen spray images as a way of identifying a group, personal signature or even a fun way to taunt the opposition so I must admit I am more perplexed than anything by the seemingly massive upswing in smut-sprays. My biggest complaint is that they detract from the atmosphere of the game when used outside the safe houses. Valve obviously crafted a world that can be down right terrifying at times and, while some of the porn images are terrifying in their own right, I don't feel that my experienced has been enhanced. They certainly don't offend me anywhere near as much as the rampant racism that some use in their sprays (or gamer tags).

I have noticed that many posters in this thread have seemed to equate nudity to pornography and some, pornography to violence. One's attitude, positive or negative, to these things will no doubt colour(yeah, I'm Canadian) one's approach and enjoyment of this or any game. While understanding one's own attitudes in this regard cannot change how others manifest their feelings, it can better enable one to block out the 'screaming child' looking for a reaction.

Failing that, if the porn sprays truly offend you that much, make a spray featuring a bunny giving the finger that reads: keep your smut outta my gore.

Porn sprays are stupid. You don't even need spraypaint images in the game, but it's something fun in there to make multiplayer a little funnier.

To block out spraypaint images, go to Multiplayer Options, Custom Server Content=none. That's how you block spraypaint images.

As for your argument that I should go play single player and have no reason to 'cry', I'd quite like you to point out the bit where I was 'crying' rather than making some kind of rational debate out of this.

I reiterate (because it appears that you missed it in your rush to be cool and argue on the internet... dontcha know it's all the rage these days?) that PORN DOES NOT OFFEND ME PARTICULARLY. I just don't want to see it in-game, and shouldn't have to, just because some idiots feel the need to spread images that *may* offend some in an unrelated game.

if you dont like it, just ignore it and move on. the game says the rating changes dependent upon the online world and if you cant handle it, stop playing or go play in a christian server or a childrens server where they dont allow it.

While the rating can change, that doesn't mean it's reasonable to go online in L4D and be subjected to porn from people who are too immature to keep their private fantasies local.

Edit: Real life is unrated, but I hardly expect to walk down the street and see people having sex on the sidewalks. This is similar.
