[Release] 4.2-4.3 Source Code

If this forum was actually focused on game development I would say, why not release it?

However, most people here are not developers, therefore, they are unable to contribute. Instead, leechers make developers sick of this place... This is why you won't see me active anymore after all. So, as long as spam and annoyance by leechers is allowed and tolerated by this community, releasing anything will only attract more leechers while making developers go away... It will also increase the amount of useless and pointless posts, such as questions that have been answered multiple times already. In fact, this has already happened.

Seriously, there should be a "Help for Noobs" section here, most threads would fit it. Because, guess what, I am a developer and I simply do not want to see that kind of threads. Moreover, developers will prefer to contribute somewhere where their work is at least appreciated, so I don't think they will contribute here. All in all, releasing anything will not benefit the RZ community but individuals who make their own teams and do not release their work here.

If I were you and felt generous, I would instead make my own forum with my own rules and release stuff there, for developers only. I am pretty sure that with the right rules you can keep a forum clean; yet nobody seems to care. Makes sense, since the purpose of this forum is attracting new people, rules cannot be strict. But if I had my own forum for game development I wouldn't care about how many people visit it; I would only care about whether they can make any development.

On a side note, I appeared here and people start spamming my inbox again... Seriously, you need to solve your problems on your own. If you want me to solve your problems, you will have to pay me, this is how it works.

i say yes for the minority of dev who can maybe made some proof of there skill with these files.

most people enough skill to work with that already have those files. but it's can may be attract some new people, who will wish to work on some more ambitious project than just compile some bin from a source code.
so share it and see, in the baddest way you will be spam of pm from people that don't understand how to start vs, in the better way we will ee some new dev skilled helping to improve the server and may be a day the client.

My point was that, since nobody really keeps this place clean, we should probably expect the worst scenario... If you think about it you will notice there has been no important activity in the development section lately. This seems to back up my point.

So my question is, why feed something that isn't working?

major rules infraction are cleaned, now the real problem i a part of help asking people don't take time to search before ask something, may be made a new "must be read" with last answer can be an idea to avoid to see these thread or a new good justification to delete them, I will start that and see if the section become cleaner I will ask to my superior for a small change of the sub forum structure too. after just for knowledge of all ace online is not the worst section at all my work is minor (some post to delete some time, if one of my superior don't do that before me like in this thread ^^)

by the way, Pankj your ask i listened, for the rest I have speak with you about my think.
Now warOnline you can do what you want this thread don't have more reason to stay open more than 24h more, I will close this one in 24h so if you wish to share don't ask and do if you don't wish this thread don't have reason to be here that all.

hope to see some new interesting and interested people if source code is shared else my hope stay same ^^

but at all....
- share and u will see if there are real ace servers and u might get competition... (but there are some who would stop these)
- share and your server might lose player also
- dont share and u see that servers come and go, only "real" servers will stay online (with or without the SC.... example sky shadow, dark rivals etc.... DEAD)
- dont share and u will see that alot will flame you, other will like you (thats live)

enjoy my 2 pro and 2 contra ;-)

*edit

i wont vote cause in my eyes this threat is useless

I would argue that, without a section where every single useless thread/post is moved or deleted, this place can only work as a gathering place for everyone else but developers. Most people I know have already lost faith in this community (if they had any at first place). You can release whatever you like but don't expect to see any improvement.

And don't forget the challenge I posted a year ago in the developers' section; it is yet one more proof that nobody is interested in sharing their work, if they are capable of doing something more "advanced" that is. Truth be told, the (simple in my opinion) challenge I posted seemed to be too hard for people here. When you say "I'm gonna release these files" on the other hand, everyone is eager to download them. Heck, someone has to tell them that according to common sense they shouldn't be viewing these posts.

PS: I wouldn't just ask people to be understanding and make sure they follow the rules. I would show them that the rules are fully effective. Easy example: http://forum.ragezone.com/f612/user-...count-1008272/ Tell me, don't threads like this (especially in that section) create a negative image? Yeah, keep asking them to follow your rules, they couldn't care less.

Wow the return of PanKJ ^^...whatever... its stupid to give something like that too all. Because it will be like with the files 3.5, we will see all sh*t servers what open and close after some day. And i think that source code what you have its incomplete and you dont know how to make it work... nobody want take it from you darkmandos for 1000 euro?

And Kasistar your server was dead too if you dont remember, now you have only some user...

There arent many stable server online, the only of it are SBS and SF, SkyShadow was too good and has got many players.

@Phoenix2291
ACE Online is dying and only the Sky Fighter has average of 100 players online. SBS and Sky Shadow just have the administrators playing in your own server.

@decarvk
24 hours has passed.

There is no need for this topic to stay open. Will always have these members advocating the source code of an outdated game and who can not administer own server and still says it is a "programmer".

I decided to release it. I was tired to see people selling the files. It turned out that I was for a while the same. I changed my real life, in a wonderful one, and as my last release, will be this. I hope people will start to talk and find it useful and if not the veterans of this sub-forum, then the newbies to figure out together. Have a nice day everyone and a good life! I won't be online very often from now on.

The link will be added in this thread on my 1st post.

@WARonline

Attachment 147276

@Viserion now sky shadow is closed, but when it was open had more than 100 players online, but you're right the world of ACE Online is dying, the game is now dated, old man.

@WARonline not is 4.3 source, and honestly believe that you have the release just because you can not build them.

This source was released because darkmandos dont know how work with source code.
@Viserion ... SkyFighter have only old players, SkyShadow for now is offline but on that server dont play only staff they has got more then 100 players... and SBS have some players, arent much because the game was edited all by the devs of that staff and m,any players dont like how it was maked. This 3 servers are more secure then other ... and the best servers dont have realy much players because there open day for day new servers with writed ALL FREE ... and all players go there and after some days or max some weeks the server go down because dont have protection...

For the source code released its only an big SH*T

@Chris9400 who made you so smart? You don't even know anything about me but still talk. Shut the f up and stop qqing.
For your general info, I don't have time anymore to spend on servers due to my new job. (When you will get 23.000 euro a month, you will understand.
And for your question that will reveal in your head about what is my work, I work as a Broker to Windsor Broker Company.
