lol fact is TD has done alot more for the community than you, so dont try make out what he did with his files was bad, at least he released his (at the peak of mir i might add). which is more than you and bon would ever do, the only time you would release your files is the day your not turning over a profit, which will be the day mir is dead anyway.
considering your a super mod on LOMCN (a dieng mir community) id expect more from you.
i guess those pound signs are clouding your judgement.
on another note : seriously who made all these bad decisions picking mods who dont even care about lomcn or its future ?
I dont see what being a supermod has to do with him releasing anything, hes there to mod the forums, not be some saint that releases amazing stuff, duh?
No1s denying TD did a lot for the community by releasing his exes as they have been and still are the only public files to use atm.
Fact is, what he done by not releasing his code when he LEFT MIR was selfish, and shows he obviously didnt care for the community as much as u seem to make out.
If he cared and wanted mir to carry on, he'd have released his source so ppl could carry it on, if he had done.. think where TDs files would be now, for sure lilcooldude, gadget and others woulda all added to it bit by bit, probably be at the standards of USA and beyond.
His excuse was always that it would make all the current servers unprotected, but wouldnt of taken him long to change the encrpytion and stuff then release the source, so his old exes were protected.
Heck fourheroes is based off DM2, the exact same files TDs is based off, and you dont see anyone hackin our files...
End of day, he was selfish.
This is why it would be nice for people like Matt, Kyn, lil and who ever is good at coding all come together, get a decent set up and running.
"Why should we?" for the exact reason you say above, to stop mir from dieing.
But, this would just cause competition towards your own server, so this will never happen.
My own opinion.
Thing is you say that as if it would only take them 3 a couple weeks to produce a good set of files, matts worked on 4heros files for nearly 2years now, kyn and lil probably about a year? and they still aint in great shape.
I dont see why rubym2 files havnt been released in all honesty, they aint even used (is elysian even up ne more? or isnt it 2.3 lol?). But then agian the files were based around a low rate USA style server, so aint much customization room.
And ive alrdy said why i wouldnt release my files, too many ungrateful ppl that call u names 1 min then love u the next, and obviously the fact ppl would put half arsed servers up with gameshops.
