Nobot - Stolen Script
A very long time ago (probably in v12) I made a script for Nobot (Bot at the time.) He wanted a script that gave a unique ID to everyone who joined your server and as I found out he had already been trying to figure out how to do it for some time. I made it and gave him it as a private mod. You can now find it at
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=163184.0 Recently I started seeing the mod on other servers and was quite surprised (especially as it used my original garish colour scheme of green and white.) I originally suspected he had leaked the mod a while back which wouldn't be too strange considering it had been so long. I went on the forums just to check and found out that he had ended up posting it without even asking me. The thing that annoyed me the most though was the fact that he was claiming to have made it (along with Flaw oddly.) I have been unable to contact Flaw but DontCare4Free confirmed that it didn't look like one of his scripts.
Naturally I checked to see if it matched my original and it did, line for line. It even had my lack of indentation (I was lazy and didn't think anyone would really end up wanting to read the code.) Just to confirm this is how I have been for a while I also failed to use indentation when posting my Altimeter (
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=79353.0.)
Several people who I knew when I made the mod have backed me up confirming it to be mine but I am afraid I can't provide much more evidence then that, I recently had to reinstall windows and even with the original file showing it's date modified would be no real proof.
It is Quarks mod, I saw him make this.
This is completely true - I actually watched Quark create this in real life.
However, I have managed to find Nobot's original topic asking for help with Server IDs here
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=110401.15. As you can see effectively none of the code suggested on that thread was used in the actual script.
Eventually I did manage to find Nobot but he refuses to take the post down or give me credit, is claiming to have now left Blockland for the year and says he doesn't know me.
I am unsure of how I can get the post taken down now with Nobot paying no attention but I would be grateful if a moderator could take it down. I am also aware it has been posted on Brian Smith's website but I don't know where it is or who could get rid of it.
Finally, I am aware this mod isn't particularly good or useful, I made it as a request. If you want to comment on the mod itself post on the Server IDs topic.
