Author Topic: Why do I hate coders???  (Read 9749 times)

recipes can be given out. that's fine. but there's a benefit to keeping it for yourself, and it's not immoral to do so. also someone could replicate your "recipe" pretty well if they knew the featureset.
oh ok

like that knock-off of the rising lava thang

Usually the type of add-on we're referring to that shouldn't be given out is new game modes. Some are fine to give out, but others thrive way better if they aren't.
and why would they thrive better
usually it's the community who manages to mess up a gamemode
like mafia madness


Except I'm sitting here telling all of you that I have no pride stemming from my coding abilities.
and your name is $trinick
uhhhhhhh

Coders are serious people that never take a joke
ex: Jetz (yes aot), Visolator, Oxcrop (aot again), Xalos, Zapk,

you just answered your own question. mafia madness sort of flopped after its release because people wouldn't host it correctly. several people contested that it was better when it was privately hosted by the mod maker.

i never made a connection between his name and torquescript

yes but that's because the people who hosted it were idiots and the blame cannot be placed on the released-ness of the gamemode

i know you didn't make a connection

and such

actually, it's entirely because of the releasedness. if it were private, the creator could have kept interest up. by making it public, having people mess up hosting it was inevitable. it is one of those mods that works better private.

and your name is $trinick
uhhhhhhh
Yes? It was also .Trinick, !Trinick, #trinick, and @trinick at various different points in time.

The prefix to my name was simply because I ran out of other symbols, not because it has a relation to global variables.

no it isn't

we're just idiots

why not 2 or 3 like everyone else

or just "trinick"

I don't like having to either memorize an alt code or google "squared symbol" every time I want to log in.

Visolator

they're pretty much all richardweeds

Did he once whine that badspot stole his idea for events?

have you tried trinick in lowercase

Did he once whine that badspot stole his idea for events?
didn't spaceguy actually release his own half-baked idea for events or whatever

something like that

You guys need to meet Trigun. He's just about the nicest guy I've ever met, and the best programmer I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

Did he once whine that badspot stole his idea for events?
No, it was the exact opposite. Space Guy made his events after Badspot announced events coming in v9 to sop up love and attention from the community. Hence the "don't rip off my add-ons and release half-baked versions" in this post http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=130102.msg2883431#msg2883431

I haven't actually tried it, but I assume that usernames aren't case-sensitive, as then I could make an account called "The resonte!" and impersonate you.

I seem to remember him claiming that he started working on events before badspot

well sure if you wanna spend $20

just like that one joke drama topic where "General Discussion" was drama-ing "Drama"
