As I said last time, with all due to respect. Have opinions, but don't try to change people.
So, in other words, since you guys don't want the cheat menu, then nobody else can have it? Not out of spite, but because you can't take a few minutes to implement it. OK. It seem what I was trying to convey to you was completely lost.
Ce'st La Vie.
I think it's a bit harsh.
For the last few versions I've been communicating with Above and Haleks quite frequently, finding bugs and suggesting features, I've never once had the feeling they flat out shut an idea down. Maybe because I'm such a smart individual and my ideas are just pure gold, but that's not the point.
Haleks had JUST released Factions for 177 and it was clearly not the end of it. I never cared much for the cheat menu except for repairing vehicles that I was unable to repair due to glitches in previous versions (like the humvee not having an option to repair the fuel tank), so I never brought it up.
I don't really care about those pity quarrels about cheat menus you guys are having, I love a bit of controversy as much as the next guy, and I'm always open to a debate that will advance us in a philosophical way, like the one about DayZ's development and Rockets shitty decision making.
But as you said Haleks and Above are the only two active modders in the DaiZy community, and they really work fucking hard on something that gains them close to nothing. They don't even put their links behind adfly. So logically the last thing you wanna do is piss them off. Because once you piss in the well nobody will drink from it.
So if some twat asks for the cheat menu, and his voice is not instantly heard, because, oh I don't fucking know, the modders are preoccupied fixing actually game breaking shit, then said twat should grow some balls and ask again. If people are too afraid to be "that casual gamer" to ask for cheats repeatedly, nobody will include them. Demand causes availability. No demand for cheat menu, no cheat menu.
If the 64 people that downloaded your dayz_code had asked for it, Haleks wouldn't have much choice but to include it. (1 of the downloads was me, because I wanted to see how the code is implemented)
Man the fuck up. If you really want something, ask for it twice, don't bomb the place. Don't be a fucking terrorist.
But that's my humble opinion.
Ya'll have a wonderful day <3
Cheers~
