This reminds of Heroes of Might and Magic III WOG - The folks changed the executable so much that future scripts were encoded as text, hidden in the message-boxes showing information about the map to the player (they would pop once in a while, if the game scripts says so). I know how crazy (in good sense) are the modders - I had to help release the mod tools for World at War and Black Ops (I work at Treyarch).
