Ok so I have a few things that I'd like to see integrated with BLC and Open in general.

I think the 3 most important things with the client is BAC, functionality and the cosmetic appearance. For me personally I think the client works pretty well and needs some tune ups etc and to my knowledge no one has really bypassed BAC or at least not publicly on YouTube or Twitter for example so that indicates that it is doing it's job.

In my opinion the Badlion Client itself should have a goal of improved performance on low-end computers as well as making 1.8 server experiences better for competitive gamemodes, which is where I think most of the development at the moment goes into (preventing crashes, fixing bugs and more)

I think the least important, but what could really make or break the entire project is the look and cosmetic features that it has. At the moment there is basic GUI customization, but currently from the looks of it this is one area that Cheatbreaker does have in their favor you can basically change the entire look of your game in terms of color of text and things like that. What I'm trying to say is that it has more bells and whistles which is in my personal opinion why people are really hyped for it, because it looks clean and is fairly easy to customize and I think that's the strongest part of the client.

So I'm going to list some ideas that I have to possibly improve the actual look of the client and perhaps some other general ideas.

CAPES
Firstly I think a cool feature would be having the ability to have capes with BLC. As Optifine don't want their mod used within BLC as such and we can't sell capes because EULA, it could be a cool thing where you can have a cape perhaps as a default of the BL logo and have a customization thing where you can design your own. Whilst it is purely cosmetic and available to all users it is another good way of identifying people using BLC on non-BAC integrated servers.

MORE GUI EDITING FUNCTIONS
Pretty self-explanatory, but just having the ability to make things like the coordinates, keystrokes etc. have different colors so that everyone can use the same thing, but have their own look :D

SHADERS COMPATIBILITY
Again not much to explain, with the increased performance and frames and the increased aesthetic of using shaders it would be nice to be able to use them.

Resource Pack Organiser
My biggest pet peeve with Minecraft is the resource pack system in terms of scrolling. Perhaps adding the ability to make folders and make them collapsible would be beneficial as well as a search feature which initially was in the client I believe. e.g Create new folder and call it Infinite edits, which you can keep all your infinite pack edits organized.

Desktop Notifications
This would be a feature that you could toggle and use to your own liking, but having the ability to set the client to give you a desktop notification when a UHC is about to open or when a new announcement is posted would increase the exposure of said posts and games allowing newly announced things to reach the community quicker and also help increase the fills in UHC.

Cool Sounds
Ok so this has no purpose other than it'd be fun, but in other games when you slide over a tab or click on something it makes a cool sound, maybe add that to the client so that when you click on Open or something it makes a cool sound :O

MEDIA
I think with the recent announcement of Badlion's Partnership program ending it may be cool to add a media section to the client so that players looking to gain some exposure can post their videos. It would require a small team to monitor the videos and approve them, but I think it is possible and I know some people who would be willing to help with that :v

I guess the main thing to have is just making sure that the video is Badlion related and does not harm the image of the network, it's staff or community. Again not necessary, but could be nice to add.

Got any other ideas? Comment below :D

For capes it should be if you are using the client u can toggle it so you can have the custom badlion cape that will show up for ppl or just give donators the cape feature and make it something special.

Posted on 11 August 2017 - 06:12 PM

Can't just be donators I think you aren't allowed to sell capes as a network

Posted on 11 August 2017 - 06:14 PM

o i thought it would just come with u buying donator. Not as a separate thing u would have to buy.

Couple new ones :D

More Incentives
I get there is only so much that can be done to motivate people to play with the client, but maybe some special in-game perks would be cool as well :D Maybe BAC only cosmetics or something of that nature.

Making the Arena Badge more achievable
50 doesn't sound like a lot of ranked matches to play, but all up it would take 500 without breaking the chain just to get the badge in all 10 kits. I'd like to maybe see a slight reduction in this number so that it is a little easier to get. That's just me not being a huge arena player, but wanting a badge :P (It better look cool)

Less Launches
Ok so currently there is the disabled disconnect button when you connect to open. I think it'd be nice to be able to disconnect and reconnect through open without relaunching, but only having BAC enabled servers being joinable. This would also help if you time out and not having to reopen it. A rebrand of the main title screen would be nice to as we could change the buttons from single player and multiplayer being blacked out and kinda ugly into 4 buttons in that area with the 4 respective regions and changing the minecraft online button to an other button for potential future BAC enabled networks.
Sorry if I explained this poorly.


Friends list
To be honest I have no idea what the plans of this are, but maybe making it a bit more used or having a purpose other than showing which friends are online I guess.

Ban Wave Rework
From my understanding of how BAC works it seems like the client will let you cheat, but you'll just get caught and it may be harder to get clients to work in it idk. I think it would be beneficial to keep GCheat active on all players for the pure fact if they do want to cheat they don't get x amount of time to play before getting banned by BAC also not sure if staff can ban BAC enabled players so I think having a 2FA rather than let damage happen then repair method would be more beneficial to the community.
Even if GCheat were internalized into BAC and if you set off logs that would get you GCheated currently it auto bans you as it is somewhat safe to assume they are not really trying to bypass BAC and if they are they have no idea what they are doing and won't be able to for a while. xD

That's all I got for now, I'll post again when I think of more :P


On a slightly less realistic note, can we integrate some popular services such as discord, razer cortex, spotify, tweeter etc. Probably won't happen, but if it did I'd be a happy scrub.

+1 well written man.

Posted on 26 August 2017 - 05:27 PM

Yes, Badlion Client was bypassed several times on YouTube.

Posted on 26 August 2017 - 05:39 PM

people cheated on it but they got banned, it was a trick badlion did so people would get banned but they wouldn't know what got them banned

Posted on 26 August 2017 - 11:49 PM

I believe the whole point is that if you want to cheat on it you can do whatever you want, you'll just get caught and banned in a wave.

Posted on 27 August 2017 - 01:51 AM

Yes, but it still bypasses

Posted on 27 August 2017 - 03:51 AM

No? BAC new that they were cheating instantly. Just didn't ban then instantly as we are doing ban waves.

+1 amazing. You're a smart scrub xd
