actually, all he said was that he only told his side of the story to a few people. and now, thanks to your jumping all over that little post of his, he certainly isnt going to tell the rest of us his most likely interesting but truthless story.
Yes it would appear that luckily he is not angry at the entire Dom2 community or he would publicly tell how to do what he did. The hex location to change in a file can always be found, even if encrypted, by hit-and-miss trial and error. But once found, if its released then its fairly simple. If any other method was used, then even simpler. So the most evil thing he could do would be to post a "haha this is how its done"

Actually that would be the best thing he could do. If he did that Illwinter could fix it easily right away and put it in the next patch most likely. As it is it will be more work for IW and will probably take longer.

Im far more hacker than I am programmer and I dont agree with that view. The chances are very slim that such a post would be something that is easier to fix than it is to do. And telling how it could be done makes it far too easy to use the same steps to do something slightly different to bypass the fix. How its done is not all that necessary for fixing it anyway since we do know what to look for.

Now, sending an email to info over at the illwinter site saying how he did it (as most hackers would do) would be helpful, but posting it here would not be IMHO
