Kyouma, what did you discover? I read a few pages back, but I couldn't find it.
I always like keeping up on 1-slot mod discoveries and progress (since it's been about 15 or so hacks since I've had a mod which DIDN'T involve one, haha.)
Yes, being able to edit/add model changers through PSA would be FANTASTICAL.
Right now the only way to even reach them is through Tabuu, and I don't have the technical skill to go into HxD and add another entry manually. Editing PSAs in Brawlbox breaks a lot of them, after all.
Thanks Spex. x) Yes, a mask indeed, and that's a great idea as well. I'd do it, but I actually don't know how. I get the feeling it's really simple though.
Well, putting rising hostilities and arguments aside for a sec and moving to your point, Velen, here's my personal opinion.
Don't forget that the PMBR and such is a large group of specialists. They do the parts that they do best, and leave the things they aren't good at to everyone else, right? Yeah, there's more than 2 people at least capable of editing the engine. But also remember that not everyone wants to focus on that. The people capable of editing the engine are the people who want to be capable of editing the engine.
PW's engine is optimized to be user friendly simply because of the way it would be used, you know? Not everyone is as technical as PW, so he specifically set it up so that folks who wanted to put the work in could learn it by themselves. It's a tool set up so that people can take it and create their own result. A module meant to be loaded into a larger result with its potential stretched out per user.
Now, with that, remember that the PM Clone Engine is aiming for a different result. They don't care so much about the process so much as the result, right? This isn't an Engine where they don't know how far it will stretch. This also isn't an Engine which is going to be handled by hands who don't know how it works. This isn't a module, it's a backbone. It's eventually going to harden into a solid state where there won't be any edits from the PMBR side. And at that point, it will be most stable because it's built to work into the system around it.
Sure, I guess it'd be possible to sit the entire back room down and teach them the clone engine. It's not an impossible feat, the PMBR is collectively very smart. They could also sit down and rework the entire engine. Like I said, they're smart. But to the PMBR, that's a waste of time. They're specialists. Why take the video editor and force him to learn how to import? He's a video editor, let him work his craft. Sitting down and reworking the engine only helps those who want to know how it works. And the only people who want to know how it works already know how it works. It would only serve to slow them down, you know?
