The fact that you "don't agree" "with use of widly exagerated weapons" is irrelevant to the discussion. Nobody care, either pro- or against "modders". Other "modders/hackers" use what they want to use, and will not ask authorisation to anybody, neither you, I or the official dev.... nobody can't do anything against that. The Pandora box is oppen, and nobody will close it, whatever is tried to limit the mess.
Before the tools, there was a central control (M:1C) to control the quality, accept and deliver (in official patches) the third-party modders work. Now this control is non-existent since everybody can freely bypass it with Qtim tools.... and nothing will ever replace it. Those who think the contrary and believe a "player community authority" (like I see some suggestions on some forums) or anything else can replace it.... are just dreamers.

It's a fact, and we have to live with. My only hope is that online integrity may be restored with a "CRT=3" check in the patch official release... there's no official promise about it, but I still hope...

It's good that you don't diffuse tools and method to do that.... for your own sake... In fact, everybody can find Qtim's tools with a 5mn search (took me 1mn When I tried... just to verify... I'm wont do anything with these tools).

I'm a bit puzzled that when some calls were done on some forums to help building objects for some official mods (maps), so few peoples answered... and that now on the same forums, everybody's happy to "mod" and to show their "modding".... but I shouldn't be... it's human nature.
Very few peoples wants to give a bit of freetime inside a constrainted project, with quality control.... and when there's no more constraints, no quality control and when freedom is total, much more peoples are interested.
Now I read there and there some "free modders" whining about the lack of "self-control" of other "free modders"..... Gives me a good laugh each time...
It sounds like "we want freedom... but only for serious guys like us"... do you really think this kind of speach has any chance to be heard seriously?
