There are ways to catch cheats without needing to know anything about the mod involved - for example, most path-switching will lead to inconsistencies between the phone bios and the in-game variables; money cheats will leave impossible amounts of money having been spent; etc.
There are also ways to defeat or bypass any possible mod-check once the game is in someone's hands - either repurposing the game's own logic to switch between possible gamestates, or modifying the code to remove certain checks.
Keeping your mod off the radar keeps it from facing dedicated checks, but doesn't protect it from more general logic/consistency checks.
And, of course, adding more mod checks to the game just encourages an arms race, with both sides putting in more time and energy to end up at a similar place...
If you compare Maya's task list to the other candidates' lists, Maya has legitimate grounds for complaint - the tamest of the tasks she got set are comparable to the lewdest on anyone else's list.
I think you both meant "blue plus"
There are tons of ways DPC could detect modifications in his game. He could even use a custom
.rpa compression format so no one could access his code.
He could check the number of files being loaded, he could check for the existence of the
tl folder to block translations, he could check
bio like you mentioned, and so on. There are countless possibilities.
But the point is, DPC only adds these checks to mess with Scrappy’s mod specifically—it’s his way of trolling some innocent pirates. After all, anyone with 15 minutes of basic Python tutorial on YouTube can remove his checks.
If someone is making their own tweaks, without needing to use other people’s mods, they’re never going to bother him on Discord saying “my game crashed, DPC please fix it.”
So yeah, he’ll probably keep trolling only people who use Scrappy’s mod. Honestly, I still don’t understand why Scrappy even added a persistent variable to his mod.
