Hi Jim, Yeah, I do know what you mean and understand your point of view. That's my feeling as well. If I wanted the game to be modded or to allow end users to customize it I would make available the proper tools or ability to do so.
Since I don't intend Mysteries of the Ancients to be modified, to be a stand alone game, etc I'm going to have to begin encrypting sounds and taking care that people can't modify it without serious effort. That way I know that what I create stays in tact and the game I sell my customers is the one they are playing. Smile.
