Modules that are hidden are hidden for a reason and are very normally unstable or unusable currently
They may no longer be used (Replaced with better modules) and they may be in testing with a few users
Instructions have been posted a few times about how to access these hidden modules and that is fine
If you carry out this procedure please keep it to yourself and do not post OSM with hidden modules inside
Users may start to think they can get support for these modules and this is very much not the case
So from now on no public discussion of these modules or posting of OSM containing said modules please because i will have to delete these posts
I hope this doesn't bother anyone too much (Keep in mind that we are talking about a very few modules that are not that useful in real terms compared to the massive amount that are available and supported)
I know it is nice to find "An easter egg" but still lets put a cap on this once and for all
Cheers

Might be hard to keep a cap on; it is too easy to accidentally post an OSM with an unlisted module. With out an OSM search, it will be impossible to look inside every single module of a larger 5,000+ module OSM. Also, there are some primitives that are from prior SM versions.
Honestly, this is an issue from Malc not cleaning up the SM.DLL code.

Well if people can't follow the simple rule then the modules will be removed from SM entirely and if somebody is using them in a plugin then they are screwed aren't they
So i would say people need to follow the rule

Edit* I mean what's next ? Saying software deserves to get hacked and cracked unless it uses a dongle because you can open it with a hex editor and strip out the protection ?
Come on think about what your saying

nah, i dont think this is in any way problematic. its ok that the rule is to not post these modules anymore and i can somehow understand that. but on the other side there also wont be any troble since i doubt that any remotely sane person would want to have support on these modules since they are obviously unofficial. if anything they add to the value.

What I should have said that someone may accidentally copy/paste a module that had an unreleased primitive. That's how this whole thing started.

Aha, Malc's reluctance to go down the SDK route makes more sense in light of this thread - having to find out exactly who wrote a crashing module and then get them to provide 'customer support' would be a problem (for us and him), yes?

Yeah i have moved that thread so hopefully that will sort it
Just don't want it to get out of hand
