Probably most people have heard of my program "MegaWarp". If not: It is a cheat program that lets you warp anywhere on the map and to any other player, even in online games...but that isn't the point of this topic.



Some people, who I am not going to name here unless they reply have been asking for how I did MegaWarp. Or more specific...how to edit the memory in Visual Basic. Doing this uses the Windows API (calling functions in dlls) and is NOT something I made up myself or anything like that. It is something that I found out how to do on the internet, and I figured it out and put it to use in MegaWarp.



Now back to the problem...Even though this is readily available information (well maybe not readily, but available to anybody with a good search engine and good knowledge on how to use it), I'm not sure if I should give these people the way to do this. After seeing what happened with megawarp (even jdc has to have a rule about it), I don't really want people making cheat programs they can release to other people. I think that if people want to cheat they should do it using real memory editing tools and search for addresses themselves.



If a cheat program gets out (like megawarp did), the jj2 community who actually play will be kind of wrecked, because so few people play, that most people will get it and it will make playing no fun anymore.



So I would like some feedback about this and whether I should tell the people in question how to do this because I don't want something really really bad to happen.



Thank you for your help
