The Future of Modding

[DCoder]

Some things to keep in mind:

1. Someone could write a DLL invoking malicious functionality, such as "echo boom > c:\boot.ini" or worse. Comes with the territory, I suppose.
   
2. "Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indifferentiable from malice." Half of this community can't spell Prerequisite, Subterranean or VehicleTypes (though Westwood couldn't spell either - CanPassiveAquire, woo). Do we really want them running around with absolute minimal knowledge of C++ and spreading their creations around?
   
3. As Blade has noted here, a central repository for useful DLLs would be beneficial. Along with that, it would make sense to store the source of those DLLs and have only trusted people post actual binary files, to minimise chances of malicious code.
