what is a "hack" for you is an option that not everyone knows about or what a clean aimbot, wallhack?
if hack is a option that you know and others not and you can use it to be better = then that hack is a cheat, im not sure ...
if everybody knew that option and they can use it, then it is not a hack/cheat, its just a setting/option thats the difference.
bright skins have been known and used since 2001/02 in UT, later in ut2k4 was mod for it UTcomp or smthing like that where you can set it on/off.
For now no one has made a good mutator for this on the server side in ut99. Previously, the skin textures in the folder were replaced with those with bright skins and that was all. Now you can use other ways, still from client side but there are easy detected by ace shotss.
The problem is not every body can use it, which makes someone have an advantage ...
it doesn't change anything for me, it improves visibility, but you still have to hit.
for as many years as I played with and without brights, when I compared stats, there is no need to hide, the ones with brights were better, but not always.
The problem is that you see people in dark places, they are visible everywhere, which spoils the structure of the maps, as well as the lighting itself on the maps. It doesn't make any difference to me, because you have to hit anyway.
I won't explain it to you ... the way I'd like to.
The more that in the polish league of UT bright skins were allowed long long time ago, as well as tweaks.
people just don't know about it, and here you are ten years behind Negroes ...
