How about, Get Tai to block him from advertising the Zircon files but give him free rain to work on the Marble source as long as it's heavily modded from Marble.
Yeah
No.
I have plans for the Marble source already. It involves a flamethrower, a bin, a pair of gloves and some lotion. I cannot reveal any more information regarding Marble.
my server files, I don't have your files, your latest server files are available to download?

1st post suggested if he has a problem with my thread I can ask to take it all down, regardless the SERVER files I'm writing will go on GitHub and is my own intellectual property to release on GitHub, anything else his Client wont be, and can be downloaded from his services.
Really hope You Jamie and Shane do something with Marble. -_- I'm like a broken record i know but Marble kinda killed Mir2 for me, going back to half arsed done Crystal server after that is upsetting
Until Jamie changes something in his client stopping your server from connecting until its updated to match again ^
*Uses .NET Reflector - Steals client code - writes a basic 4 packet server - MAKES MIR2 GREAT AGAIN!*
WHAT TEH ****!? Wouldn't stop him he has a source project of the client, anything Jamie adds he would need add to this monstrosity...
Looks promising, will you be making some editors and releasing them? would love to tinker.
Please let me know your repo, will follow
[/FONT]Why wouldn't you build your own client tho? Where its yours and free too update with waiting on jamie?
I really don't think anyone here has the right to call up on people 'stealing' when Mir servers all use content they didn't create themselves nor have permission to use anyway. I'm not selling anything or running a pay2win game like jamie to profit from other peoples content am I?

I'm starting to understand you a little more.
You'd have honestly had made a way better impression having actually created something yourself and building upon it, rather than using someone elses work. In fact, had you actually done that, you'd likely have had the full support of every coder here. Instead what you're doing is maliciousness under the guise and pretense as goodwill. I'm sure you'll find a few people willing to cosy up to that type of thinking here, but the majority of us have some integrity.
Whether Zircon gets released after it bites the dust frankly just isn't up to you, nor would I feel encouraged to do so having seen what you're actually doing.
Well you're miss understood from where I stand people are all angry and aggressive that I'm open sourcing a server... I am using zircon client as a base to familiarize myself with the Development of a server, and as I said in a previous post I have no time to make a client. So paint it black however you like it, making a server and putting it on github destroys your outlook upon me, then I can see little of any open source projects going on in this community... I don't mind giving, and wont be discouraged in doing so thanks.
The amount of time and work to make a Mir two server from my zircon client is significantly more than to just build such a client.
Mir 3 is fundamentally different on so many levels, people will expect the feel and play style of Mir 2. You will not get that with this client.
You are far better off using the crystal files that far has done a wonderful job with.
I decided to side step from Crystal a while ago, and Zircon was the only choice left. I am capable of making the modifications required.
To dispel any worry about 'your files' being illegitimately put online as source etc, this isn't the case... I also dont have your server files , not even Marble, do you still have that release files up, late to the party I'm afraid.
Anyhow not even at the stage where I am even getting mir2 stuff ready just yet, long road ahead with the server, can run around and attack each other but that's about it Dreaming about the mobs AI tonight, traditionally mir AI anyway, not a fan of the warrior aggro on zircon, assuming that is the case? i just found it awkward as a wizard to group hunt with a warrior and the mobs would find me unattractive to kill and aggro to the war causing problems for me. The warrior picking one by one off while they chase me around doing mass kill damage would benefit warrior as he/she doesn't have to get hit by 20+ mobs when I have them as my flock... but unfortunately this has to happen 10 squares from warrior and he/she cant come near or they aggro.
For more 2..
You need to:
Change the image libraries and format.
Change the map format.
Change the lighting system.
Change the draw order.
Change the inventory system and add functions.
Change the map objects processing order
Change the monster frames to match Mir 2 libaries.
Change the actual packet system to add Mir 2 actions.
Change the interface to not be Mir 3.
This is pretty much the bulk of the work in my client...
Tell me how is changing any of these whilst still keeping the game compilable going to be faster than just building a new client.
I skipped alot of the steps as well.
Would laugh so much if this actually came to fruition
