Wink The way it should be!

I scrapped this thread because you ppl who play this game just don't know what your missing, you all love the game, thats fine, many don't.

Since nobody likes ppl to change things to make better gameplay, I won't be releasing any maps/mods, nothing for the game anymore, your all too judgemental on what ppl like and dislike and what they are attempting to do with mods, etc etc, always criticism and never any compliments.

Here's what you'll be missing from me, see atatchments, also head over to General Discussion for more shots.

1) there are mutators/mods out there which already attempt the same thing
2) replacing existing classes are bad.. particularly ones that came with the game - you will screw up everything that depends on it, mods and the likes

I strongly recommend waiting to release this until you have a version that does not require replacing XWeapon.u.

Replacing existing classes is a major no-no, and is completely unnecessary due to the object-oriented nature of UnrealScript. It's all fine and dandy to say "don't blame me" if people forget to make backups, but breaking the existing game is very poor design in the first place. People shouldn't have to break it and fix it again to turn your mod on and off.

If you're not sure how to make a "friendly" mod, post back, and I can point you in the right direction. Otherwise, I'd recommend pulling down your attachment until you have time to fix this issue.

This is not a no-no, since the xweapons.u sucks anyway.

but if you read, this will be a mod, not an existing class replacement. Do you guys even read.

And thnx, UP, i did not want this in the Mods/Mutators, hence all the comments.

I won't be making any more maps, because I can't stand playing with the standard weapons. Sorry.

The fact that you have a low opinion of the existing weapons does not alter the potential design hazards. For example, anyone installing your version will be unable to play online. If you don't mind this shortcoming, that's fine, but I'm recommending that you don't post a file that will break other people's installs. Yes, I understand that they can save their xweapons.u and restore it, but this is a poor solution so....

If you read MY post, you'd realize that I understand what you intend to do, and I am merely suggesting that you wait until you have the mod ready, and not post the version that can potentially cause problems for people who download it. It's not only good design, but it's common courtesy.
