Do you think that there woudl be any way to make a "proposal" to EA, in a sense show them some work or ideas that may get them interested in releasing some helpful information to a Mod team if anyone was organized enough to gather one. With their support (to a reasonable extent) all of these questions could be answered and any editing a team would want to do could move along at a nice pace.

Perhaps it woudl eb possibel to talk them into releasing some information that could be some sort of "SDK" for Shogun. As it is they've already worked on a map editor that could be changed a bit to allow more freedom to a mapper, in terms of loading some new textures of our own creating, or adding new models that we would have created. All those thigns to change the appearance fo teh game for a mod.

Although... how the HELL do you get amessage to these people? There have been a lot of problems with that, and I've been wondering the same thing, how is that no one has any direct contact to anyone on the dev team taht will actually reach them. We need a renegade programmer who has a score to settle with EA. ;-) Well.. maybe not... but it'd be nice to have some info.

As to wether the game is time stamped or not, would it be possibel to send them at one point or anotehr when someone woudl be ready to release teh first working version of their mod, a file with all of the changes that we have made, so that they could add a file pretty easily without too much of their time taken up to create a file or whatever it is that is needed to prevent a modification to units and the like from existing on teh server.

What about those rumors of "cheaters" in the game, and I'm not talking about mistaken 0 honor cases, where someone thought they had more units than they should.

Well, that's my input to the whole thing.
