General Discussion / Re: OdaHook

I think someone told him:
"A buddy of mine is bugging the shit out of me about hacks for Odamex. Do you know if an Odahook has been made? If not, when would you make one?... (etc)"
Certainly, someone who creates hacks for games can have any reasoning behind his motives, but "I did it so they'd realize closed source is futile" sounds silly to me. Maybe you wanted to show your coding ability, or perhaps you wanted to destroy the ZDaemon and Skulltag communities (and/or allow others to do so)?
On the other hand, the tone of your post here sounds like you're trying to give advice or help in terms of how to counter hacks. However, as your name is widely known in a negative manner (to the more involved members of the DooM community--particularly multiplayer), how do you expect people to trust what you say?
Even Carmack has numerously stated that *anything* on the client-side cannot be trusted, so no news there.
PS: I don't know you personally or have spoken to you, so don't think I'm trying to insult you or whatever. People other than myself (I'm sure) are probably wondering what your motives are.
