Whats our general opinions on personal add-ons? People can dive into the cache file to rebuild personal add-ons such as bricks and player-types. What was the purpose of adding the cache file in the first place? I remember our cache used to just be folders in the /add-ons/ folder. Ephi said recently that he doesn't believe in private add-ons or something. Adding a poll. --- Quote from: Ephialtes on November 06, 2013, 03:53:44 PM ---I will define the difference between personal and private add-ons now: 1. Personal Add-Ons: Made specifically for you and your server to give your server a unique draw for players. 2. Private Add-Ons: Made and then only given to friends of the person who made the add-on or clan members. I think it's fine to have unreleased add-ons to increase the appeal of your server but when you just make an add-on and then hand it around to all your little buddies and tell everyone else to get lost I think you're doing a disservice to them and the community and there's really no justification for it. --- End quote --- Thank you for the clarification. And i'm glad to hear you support personal add-ons. Adding your post to the OP. |

The point of cache.db is to not have to download a few thousand files every time you join a server. It is not cluttering up the add-ons folder because that would suck major ass? Private add-ons are crap |
| Pandan:
Makes sense. Less clutter is always good. But why are private add-ons crap? The people who made them made them for their server. To set their server apart from the rest. We already have an issue of a lot of 0/30 player servers. Why not let people make stuff that's unique to theirs? I think it's very communistic. |
| Cuddles le Bear:
Private Add-ons should only be private if they are unsuitable for release. What I mean by "unsuitable" is if it's poorly coded, a new add-on that still needs to be tested or just shouldn't be released. I don't see something wrong with having a private personal add-on for your servers use (like Pecon's boss battles) but I do find something wrong with never releasing a Marble playertype. |
| Pandan:
Okay, i guess that makes sense. But, why is keeping a add-on private to keep your server unique, wrong? |
