There's talk of finding ways of controlling the effects of modding over at AAA. One suggestion is to have one person having sole control over what is and isn't available. Of course, this is un-workable as uf_josse shows. The disgruntled will just set up their own dictatorships, which will continue the process of disgruntlement...
Although un-workable, doesn't the concept ring a bell somewhere? One person saying yes or no to changes... Hme...
Over at AAA;
"Ive got nothing against FM/DM modding, as long as it's the right people who are doing it, MrJolly for example.
If, and I say this on the very very outside chance, if FM/DM models are tweeked, I think it would be a good idea to have only MrJolly perform them. That way we would be pretty safe against a, lets say FW-190Z-17-XFO4 of the empire from star wars . And we would have peace of mind to know that the modding of the FM/DM is in very good, dare I say professinal(?) hands.
Having said this, there's still the danger of cheating in online play. So im thinking that if the FM's are tweeked, couldnt the mod contain a script of somesort that stops the user of the mod from entering online games? Like a firewall or something else."
Here there is one solution offered, that of having some form of file protection included with the mod.
Is it just me...?
