Trevally jumped in and done some very nice tutorials but thats it.. nobody else helped him out. Now.. making mods is fun, but not that much. I asked help on extending the last campaign but on release the topic got sunk like a lame Liberty ship. Also requested help on SOAN, still .... people come here just to complain and ask TDW new features. Maybe is time to realize that the moders are only fans, not developers.

Magnum, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that you have a lot of people who support you on this thought, whether it relates to SH or in another completely different game that uses mods. It reminds me of a childhood story entitled "The Little Red Hen" (you can google it). Stuff like this is just going to happen whether we like it or not (unfortunately!).
I believe the key is to ignore the parasites (the "gimme gimme gimme" and complaining crowd), so they don't bring you down, and just remember that you are also sharing your joy with those who appreciate what modders do, and believe me, there are A LOT of us who appreciate them (and you!!).
As for requests, in a mod such as this one, there's an unwritten invitation to make requests and so, people are going to ask for them, some reasonable and doable, some not. As long as respect for the modder is shown, that should be fine.
As for helping, there are people (like me) who would like to help, but don't often have enough time or energy to do so. To tell you the truth, when I read your other post where you said "Please hop in if you think you can help", I thought "I wonder if I can help this guy out?", but then reality kicked in and I realized that I'm not in a position to help you properly at the moment, despite any altruistic intent, so I didn't say anything. A lot has to do with timing. At the very least, we help out through play-testing and the occasional feedback.
And as for your Erkennungshandbuch, I really like it. You did a nice job! I hope you keep doing what you're doing!:salute:
TDW - sorry to go off track here. I hope you understand.
