PC Crazy weapons

[Poojam]

From the Dev Blog.

+All mods use a single item id# but allow for 30,000+ variable mods possible

So what does the code look like for this mod? I'm concerned with being able to audit the player and policing hackers. Are we gonna get hackers that have weapons that do +1,000,000 damage (or even worse, just +1000) and not be able to identify them, because they are using an item id that is no different than a common gun?

So you're worried about MP games?

MP is already full of exploits. I wouldn't worry about a potential new one.

One day TFP will focus on MP but for now this game is far better PvE.

Just too many ways to cheat PvP.

If there is a way to edit and get away with it.... yup. The cheaters will be doing 1 million damage.

I have to agree with this. I don't think this change is really going to have any impact on keeping out the cheaters. You've got hackers that do +1,000,000 damage now. Changing the weapon possibilities won't help or hinder it. It won't have any impact at all.
