Bot Ban & Language Packs

Recently, Singapore Granado Espada initiated a bot sweep, and banned accounts based on function logs. See [Notice] Botting, Map Restarts and Permanent Suspensions. There are some questions concerning client customization. IAH Staff, Xanxus, clarified the matter thus:

Do note that the function logs certain actions caused by the bot, which is linked to the map restarts. Those accounts logged will be suspended permanently when we do a sweep. If you are using a different language pack, it will not trigger a 'Botting' log. [Source] The key issue is, botters in one map can trigger a DC in another map. This is linked to how the maps are arranged on the servers. IMC keeps this a secret. [Source] Well, the camera one isn't affected. Remember that it is the actions made by the bot commands which are logged. [Source]

Note that he did not say changing sound files is "legal" with respect to the terms of service. It's probably more like "it doesn't affect servers/players, so we don't really care if you do it discreetly" kind of thing. In any case, doing so won't mark you down as a "bot" as quoted above. If you chooses to do so, you can download selected sound effects files (se.ipf) of other GE clients from 悠轉幻境: Granado Espada, or install and copy/paste from other GE clients.
