I never said you specifically didn't know how to do anything. In fact, my whole point was that those who do know how... want people to not ask for things, and when they do, they are made fun of and treated like crap.
The people that don't know how to do it are here too... putting people down when they ask for things because they can't answer the question that the noob has, and they want to raise their post count.
I wasn't trying to single you out, but you are the first type. You say you have everything worked out... Why not help people instead of insulting them? My position remains the same... People just need to be nicer here. If there is completed files, why not post them? Why make people do it them selves when someone has already done the work? Why reinvent the wheel?
I remember when you started your project, and I offered to host your server on my dedicated host. The project died cause you were in school and had finals or something and now you say it went to re-write for whatever reason, and I applaud your efforts, but the fact remains that every time someone asks for something in this thread, they are shot down and called a noob, or told to do it them selves.
All I am saying is, be nice, and share. If you need a public apology from me for seeming like I said you don't know anything then fine you deserver that... I am sorry for making it seem like you didn't know anything. You are usually one of the knowledgeable ones in this thread and again I did not mean to single you out and say you don't know anything.
All I am saying is someone be unselfish and treat this thread like all the other game devs on this site and SHARE and don't put people down when they ask for things.
The ones that are not serious about running a server will be gone in a month anyhow, and it won't matter.
Why not help them? You explain why in your last sentence. Those not willing to look for themselves are not serious about running a server. Why help them put a server up that will be gone in a month? I don't have unlimited time to spend helping people put a server up that will last a week or two. I've learned not to from the last game I developed private servers for. It's not worth your time to spend 5 hours helping a guy put it up to learn the next week it went down or got hacked or something and it's done with.
Here's how it works. If you're intelligent enough, you will try to find the answer yourself. If you can't find the answer, you surely won't go making a post that say "halp mi plis mi need bug ficks". Certainly that kind of person doesn't really need our help. That kind of post is being far too general meaning he probably doesn't even know the problem meaning he didn't take the time to study what's in front of him meaning he doesn't give half a poop and just wants it up for a few days until he learns he can't handle the responsibility of running a server. Those who approach me personally with an intelligent question or even a stupid question worded intelligently will get a fair response out of me. I help people all the time.. I just will not help people who cannot even form a sentence or are begging for someone else to do their work.
As for doing it themselves, they need to. The majority of the "problems" ever posted are issues solved in another topic and many have detailed explanations on how to fix or add something etc. These kind of people just don't bother to look and so are ignored or told off.
On the topic of sharing, I've shared loads. Some of my sharings might not be for the general public, but I do share a lot. A lot more than most think. I've even been personally helping people over msn with issues they have or things they are working on.
In the end, remember this. Do you really want 342985839 br servers? I say BR because that was the group of people from my last game that'd host a server for 3 people and then go around to all the forums and spam the hell out of everything.. and even in game on other servers for it to go down the next week. That's one thing that killed the game. poop server after server went up and desensitized people from achievements because they were like x28348 rate servers that just ruined the gameplay. Now people won't play normal rate servers or even up to x10 rate servers because they want at least x30 rates. I foresee that happening here if the average joe_BR can put up a server at the click of a button. That's partly why I stopped releasing my emu to the public.
Now.. review the first few posts that I was commenting on.
