General Moving forward with creating mods and hacks

-TheDarkKnight- · December 21, 2016

I was thinking recently that it would probably be more efficient for a responsible/trusted individual to work alongside the modern for specific games in making the hacks. I've noticed that some of the mods are usually made in partnership with others and at times when some hacks don't go according to plan and their are either additional or unintended effects the modder at times has no idea what the users are talking about, possibly because they don't actually play the game or have a full understanding. Now, modders would obviously do their normal modding but to have a delegated person who has to be reliable and timely to work alongside modders to test the hack appropriately and extensively instead of getting pointless spam from the community. Also because the designated tester has more knowledge about whichever game it is, he/she could answer questions in the post alleviating the modder to some extent. Just a thought

There are chances that "users" might leech the hacks to others without permission. It's true that cheaters/modders hack the games but they don't play them much so that's why users post if there is something wrong with hack. And that is quite rare because most of the times they only post "hack no work, thanks, thx etc"

Also most of the times, author know what to hack. It's possible that the app's developer changed something that cause hacks to be buggy.

User - download game + download mod + install mod = 15-30min ~

Cheaters - download game + Clutch game + MOD = few hour - few day ~

Cheaters not only work on one game, they have a lot of game...

Sometime they are rush for the mod, so didn't check the mod one by one...
If the mod not working, just leave a quote there or pm the cheaters ...
Thanks.

Modding takes a lot of time to test each possibility and devs love hiding stuff from ud

I understand where you're coming from with the leeching, hence I stated that the testers should be trusted. I've noticed most people don't give any form of productive feed back, everyone says thanks because of the system. They either have to reply or press the thank you button and it's easier for people to just reply "thanks" I think that's one of the reason there's no actual comment that can stimulate growth. I'm not saying the modder isn't good at what they do but I'm just saying, because of their work load sometimes it might just be easier to have a tester to ensure everything works as stated while the modders move onto something else. It's like having a dental assistant essentially.

But that's the point I'm making, the modders don't have the time, so it's like a form of relief for them. I'm not saying the tester needs to have in depth knowledge of modding and files they only need to make sure what's stated works. I personally believe comments like "thanks" "update" "doesn't work" is just spam. It doesn't give any real feedback and as I said before, people respond like that most times to just show the hidden content. Out of those three examples it's probably just gonna clear the "update" and "doesn't work" comments as everything would've been stated previously in the post or just taken out by the modder until another time.

Agreed. People need to either explain what doesnt work or we need a tester who does it

I get what you're saying but essentially, someone who commented "thanks" could come back after using the cheat/mod and give decent feedback which 99% of the people that download the cheat/mod don't actually do.

Changing the current system that enables a user to view a link won't change anything. It's mostly the users being too lazy to write what doesn't work with the cheat/mod so instead they'll say "not working".

Now for a cheater to have a tester helping him, that tester needs to have a good set of devices available since sometimes, "bugs" that happen in the game isn't due to the cheat/mod but the device itself.

But I get your point

I suppose the device thing may be a complication, but it also helps in that seeing as though the tester is more familiar with the game, he can notify the modder when to update or not to avoid scenarios where the game is updated then modded and updated immediately right after. As updates come out people just spam "update hack" lol and it's a complete waste of time for a modder to do his/her work and then an update is due in a matter of hours

That's true, I can't disagree. It's really about who's willing to help the cheaters at the end of the day

Good converstation we had

Well since it's my topic I'm willing to help whoever wants the help. Additionally, an admin could maybe start a post on requirements for testers. Requirements including join dates, total posts etc
