I know that there are many creative users out there, and I know that HT is careful and protective about his code and ideas. A way to channel and control this creative potential could be by providing a documented API for users to hook into the code. One way could be with editors for maps and things like that, like Hat Trick suggested, a system to authorize paintjob ‘skins’ for the 3d models, sounds… but there could be much more to it then that.
Make the needed API available and I bet someone would build a good radar operator FE for example, an SM FE (the API only provides the SM information to authorized SMs of course <G> ) and mili’s old score tracker comes to mind. I just think that with HTC’s mission statement, not wasting this potential would be a God Thing. IMHO, preparing the code for this kind of thing from the start would make things go much smoother, there are many good coders out here prepared to work for free given the opportunity.
