Theory

Gordon doesn't know anything about lithtech

i dont think so,
i think there may be somewhere in
CShell tht tells when to load and scan attributes/
CShell moddin? im not much of a modder so
im kinda clueless jus throwing suggestions out there

So, we need be expert coders and get a perfect bypass no for edit that?

How attributes and the game work together is that when you first load the game up, the lil running man in the corner is actually decrypting the text files in attributes, and then loading them, along with other things such as textures and clientfx and all that.

CShell goes through and checks to make sure that you haven't editted these files, it also checks them when you go into a game, just like when you go into a game with hacks now. Any changes are detected and your booted.

also, decrypting aint hard...i've got decrypted Weapons.txt and Damage.txt, although, i can't recrypt them. If you put a decrypted Attributes text file in the rez file, the game wont load it, thus needing to recrypt them after they're edited.

And using an old attributes.rez file...The Guns aren't in the weapon shop, you can pick them up if on ground in the map, Although you can't see them, or use them, due to the fact that, duh, the programming for them isn't there
