Nova you are a huge prick. $ doesn't kiss my ass but when I ask them to help me test things, they help. Where has BR been? I invited BR recently to help me fix the gunner. Where has your testing been? Your leader doesn't participate in the discussion... his last message to the testing group was a week ago... and he has only ever written 1 message on the whole subject. (And that was before he could even start testing.) You ask why I listen to $? Its because they work with me when I ask them to put in the TIME to test things.
I have fixed quite a few cheats for the next beta. The shownormals wall hack being one of them.
Do you think coding out exploits is as easy as
If (player using a fucking exploit){kick his ass}
No. In some cases (like catching stopping bots) its quite complicated. What makes you think other MOD developers want to take the time to share that with other people? In almost ALL cases its not just a simple block of code. They have to add and remove things from all over the source base. Writing a tutorial or even an explanation would take a substantial amount of time. It has been my experience in the past that other teams have said "SURE, We would be happy to help." after the first e-mail and then nothing ever comes of it. Hell some MOD teams don't want to share because it gives their mod a cometitive edge against others... there is a limited player population and all mods want as many players as they can get.
This is the real world... not some socialist community where everyone shares everything.
