Oh the irony.
I know you’re not comfortable in English, but I’m positive you read the FS dev discord post when the other person whose opinions you suddenly share posted it. I bolded the bits for you. Let me know if you need me to translate it to French for you.
Kudos to you for doing the right thing here and asking the community to weigh in.
So the definitive answer is that no we won’t have a strong opinion on this mod. Whether you consider it cheating or not wall hacks and other implementations are readily available outside of mods and we don’t act on those either. Doing so would mean implementing anti cheat and we right now deem anti cheat implementations to be too limiting for the modding community and since darktide isnt a competitive game there are no real upsides to anti cheat.
Sure some might claim unfair advantage but really you are benefiting your whole crew so who cares really… And if you are playing Darktide for the bragging points you would still be at the mercy of the communitys opinion of the mod and not ours(Fatshark).
As for the intended behavior of this the analysis that we went back and forth on it and didn’t clean up properly is probably a fair one
I’ll report this straight to the source of the weird behavior and try to get it sorted.
Here’s another dev post your twin didn’t post.
- We concider hacks/cheats like these to mostly be ruining the person’s own experience of the game but if we find them reported for ruining other players experience of the game they are in clear violation of the modding rules (should we need additional reason for banning them) . Again the sanctity of your fellow players experience playing the game is paramount.
As mentioned this type of cheating has existed for quite a while, in fact way before modding for Darktide was officially a thing and they are on our radar.
We are also comfortable enough with the mod community’s good intention to not put any blame for things like this on modding in general (even if it was built using the DMF which the above clearly isn’t). We also believe in the modding communitys and Darktides player community to sort of police themselves around issues like this for the most part.
Not saying we will never intervene but we have seen no reason to yet. Our guidelines clearly states several lines that should not be crossed. (edited)
But please, do tell me how what I said in regard to FS’s very clearly (in English) stated policy is a lie?
