And it was declined since the existing map maker is not cross-platform, and thus unsuitable to be distributed with the game.

You were told that by another user, which we denied because it was false.

Yeah, the developers are all a bunch of chumps. I don't even know why you all are playing this game.

Ah, yes. Yet another suggestion of the form "Here is a bunch of work someone else should do". This is Open Source, pal. If you want something done, roll up your sleeves and have at it. Or try bribery. That sometimes works.

If you haven't figured it out for yourself by now - the current game developers don't have the necessary skills needed for most aspects of this game - that is why you always see the same changes in their Beta releases but never the changes this game needs.
Ok, genius, let beethoven play the ninth symphony, with all the instruments, alone. Oh, he wouldn't make it alone, yeah... give him other 2 musicians to help. WHAT??? HE DIDN'T MAKE IT??? My god, then he doesn't have the skill to play his own music? What a shame...

I don't know, why don't you learn scripting and make those changes you want, yourself, instead of coming here and saying bullshit about what the developers are making? If I get it right, you won't do that, because you don't know a crap about anything.

Why else wouldn't you contribute? "Real life is time consuming" doesn't seem to be a reason for you. For me it is.

Anyone else could second that for me? It wouldn't be nice to keep it like I do this just because I'm bad.

I could say that again in your face if I could :x

Just which changes are you talking about anyway?

As we have always stated, we do accept patches.
and it ends here.
