ye that would be why i said it? god i cant believe I ever considered u to be an ok person, ur a proper retard at times, and quite frankly very 2 faced lol.
No offence but why don't you release Three/fourheroes files? they are more up to date than ruby / heroes and proven to be stable, plus its not like its going to effect your 10 users, and your working on a new set of files anyway.
You've always said you would release them and i doubt server creators care how difficult they are to use. Its only mir after all.
I would but thats unfair to the current people that use the files and run the server.
Plus they aint as simple as handed over the exes to everyone.. for example the login gate links to the forums for ingame accounts etc. would need to release the source for people to get them working which makes them a security risk... plus i dont think any of us even has the source any more lol.
besides they aint that up to date any more i dont think any one would use them over the current files out there.. they are super custom and flexable.. but do lack on features.
One, because their not my files to release. Two, because chron has an active userbase of 100+ users where threeheroes has 10 users and its server owners are now working on a completely new set of files.
Three, i very much doubt bons server will kill off chron as it was supposed to be released in July and now has been set back to February, that alone tells you what state the files are in.
I think bon just wants Ace released so he can scrap c# and use ace files instead lol.
I think you'll find we never gave an official release date... so i dont know where you got July or February from. The release is delayed because we have jobs and real lives and mir is just a hobby.. we'll release it when we're good and ready. They aint delayed because they are in a bad state or ne thing... but simply because we dont think now is the right time.
I can only lol @ the last comment... u need to release i honestly dont care what happens in mir or whos files are the best.... c# is just a personal learning project.. its nothing like back in the day where it was done for personal gain and an income.
Can we stop with the "So an so won't release because they're greedy". I understand why people don't release their files when they have an active server running off them, funny how Ben has the cheek to start this all off though.
My post was just a suggestion to Sam, nothing more. Would be really good to see a basic, early set get a release even if it didn't have Archer/Assassin class included!
all in good debating spirit!
So I feel I should clear something up. Sam has wanted to release AceM2 files numerous times and each time I stopped him. I do not believe it would be all that good for the Mir community to release more files. Take a look at Heroes the last set of files I (and so many others) managed and released and think back to the servers that ran at the time, the majority of them were short money grabbing servers and the rest failed due to various other reasons. The only long term server using the Heroes files is Arcadia and that only came about because Scorp took the Source and closed it.
If Sam was to release a basic set of AceM2 where do you suggest it begins and ends? Does he release an older version to maintain competitive advantage, does he just release binaries and minimal documentation or does he release a copy of the Chronicles server files so anyone can instantly run a clone with little to no work. Does he update the files when the bots and cheats start working again? Does he release updates soon after Chronicles gets then and thus have to manage both releases and run a server? He can't release the old AceM2 Server files btw cause well people just wouldn't really want to play them due to the various bugs and again speed cheats and bots that work on those files.
What the Mir Community benefits from is well supported and stable servers and frankly the only way to have that is to have source and a coder(s). Mir hasn't been as well populated as it is now in years. We have 2 very successful servers in Chronicles and Arcadia with a 3rd Server from Bon coming soon. Then we have 11 other servers that are online across Mir2 and Mir3 if you look @ the Mir Server List.
Frankly I've come to regret how I did releases in the past, numerous other people have profited from the work myself and others put into files and we seen none of it. Sam and everyone else who puts a **** load of time and effort into files should not be called greedy because they don't want someone to do minimal work and potentially take a vast chunk of the pie
Your pretty much dead on tbh, its kinda why we never released our files. Most people see Mir these days as easy money. People bang on about 1.4 days and x amount of servers, but money was never involved back then.. was totally different.
boom long post! cya in a few weeks.
