Mate, just believe Mel. He knows about it. And as far as I see, this has all been on-topic. Go ahead, make the mod, but if you change the hardcoded parts of SHIII, you are doing something illegal and you can forget the support of 90% of the community´s modders.
And please, point me out to the mods that have changed hardcoded stuff?
Your idea is great, but if it is hardcoded, you cant do nothing about it LEGALLY.
Not trying to bring you down or anything, just telling you how it works.
