[UNPOPULAR OPINION] The amount of "mods" on nexus will KILL the game

[mylittletantan]

The only possible way they could support the modders less would be to not release the game at all, lol.

Not even gonna bother

Decompiled DLLs are not code and you can't see the implementation since the compiler changes the implementation for efficiency and other concerns

dnSpy/dotpeek. You essentially(functionally completely equivalent) get the same c# code the developers have. The compiler optimizes yes. So some parts of the code look odd due to optimization while the rest is essentially the source code.

It would cost them $0 to let modders see documentation/source code, and if it's a licensing concern they could easily make you sign something before you have access to it, and revoke that access on bad behavior.

It would cost any company $0 to let anyone see their code. Why isn't everything open source? Why even have any kind of copyright whatsoever? Plagiarism isn't a thing so there is absolutely no reason whatsoever not to release our full source code to anyone that wants it.

I'm very curious to see your own programming skills at work if you think this is good support. I have a sneaking suspicion your experience is 0.

I have a sneaking suspicion you don't know what you're talking about. If this is bad modding(specifically coding) support for a game, early access or not, what is good?

Why don't you show us some decompiled code you found useful. I'm really curious. I have looked at it all morning and it's a garbled mess.

How are you accessing that page? I have been trying to find that and I can't.

I wonder how units are spawned in battle

So hard, can't understand a thing with this garbled mess.
I have to click on functions/classes to see how they are implemented, nope this is hopeless

I wonder how roguery is used

Nope, took like 2 min to search and find every reference in their code, better wait for documentation.

 

[TheGrainMan]

You discovered getters and setters? Wow that's incredible. In any modern language they wouldn't even exist.

You are the one expecting full documentation and source code for a game in development, saying the developers don't support mods.

The game is obviously built to support mods. You can look through most if not all of their code easily and yet this doesn't count because sometimes it looks weird. What do you want? A paragraph at every line explaining everything? Once again, if being able to easily decompile their code and add your own is such horrible modding support, what is good mod support?
