people can merge cheats to tables of stuff that doesn’t work on one table.
(Google translation)
The combination of tables from different authors is a controversial, delicate question.

The author of this request does this. Collects cheats from different tables and different authors in one table. Of course, this is his right, but only if he does it exclusively for personal use. However, when he then places on the forum such "united" tables, the creation of which different authors worked on, you should not "forget" to indicate these authors ....
With the associations of tables, in my opinion, you need to be careful if the author of the table personally did not give permission and consent. As far as I know, many table creators do not approve of such “associations” and do not welcome when someone adds “improvements” and “corrections” to the tables. Some creators of tables perceive this as if, for example, someone would unite the work of different artists into one common picture and still finished something from himself. This comparison may seem too pathos, but the creators of tables are people from around the world, they have different views on creativity, and you need to respect them.
In addition, the matter is not only in the moral side of the issue, but also in the technical. In order to correctly combine cheats from different tables, you must first analyze the work of each script and make sure that such a combination will not lead to errors and failures. For example, scripts from different tables from different authors can use the same injecting point. At the same time, each separate table works stably, but when combining such scripts in one table and the simultaneous activation of these scripts, failures will appear in the table. Do those who combine the tables take this into account? Most often not, they usually use the primitive “Copy/Paste” method.
This is similar to creating a national team of football. A competent, experienced team coach will take the best football players from each club, properly gather in one team, check and set up the game of each athlete so that the team turns out to be really the team of the best. And the illiterate coach will put two goalkeepers on one football gate, and 9 attackers will make the opponent’s gates to storm ... So with the unification of the tables - for this you need an intelligent “coach” who knows how every separate script works, which he is going to combine into one “dream team”.
Sorry for the bad English, I hope the google translator has not much distorted the meaning ...
