Re: Dom2 file formats
There's a pro and a con to generally known file formats:
pro:
Some folks could start working on "external", nation-specific AIs.
(I still wonder if you could write one in F77 ...)
con:
Some folks would start working on cheats and exploits to ruin multiplayer games ...
I would like to know the file formats very much - sadly the other game, which would have been much more suited for such a task, Stars!, died without the devs giving the specs to the public.
Security by obscurity isn't the way to go, but that's only IMHO.
Maybe our devs here could drop a line how they feel about this issue ??
