Author Topic: BAR - Bad Addon Remover 1.5 (SNEAK PEAK OF BAR 2.0, on PAGE 5)  (Read 17614 times)

I was talking about other people.


This will show me what add-ons it is trying to delete right?

It will give you a complete log of what has been found and what has been deleted. It does not prompt you to delete. If you are worried you can backup the addons folder. Be sure to press F1 for further info.



 ...I WANT A BAR. A nice chocolate bar.  :cookieMonster:

 Oh, this is awesome. There goes all my stuffty downloads that would have taken months to delete.

And copying the whole thing and running your program is faster then deleting them by hand is it?

Yes, because you don't have to copy your add-on folder. Its just some people think that a specified path will go crazy and delete everything, so I gave the advice of backing up. If you can trust me, then all you have to do is click once and its gone. No searching, opening, sending to recycle bin, and erasing. Imagine when the database gets to 40+ addons? And it only takes a click and a little time. Easy.

BAR 1.5 is underway. Features include:

- Selective drive searching
- Wider database

(And a little housekeeping)

I'd like to note that if your copy right is for the program and not for the logo, that you don't actually have a copy right, since your add-on requires BL in order to be of use, the copy right is void, and Badspot owns this...not that he'd want to.

I personally will not be using this, source is not included exept for a block of example code. (that is crappy anyway)

That can't be true, its my idea, my code, my work. Thats almost like saying you can't copyright Blockland because you need Windows to run it thus Bill Gates owns everything. (Also Bill Gates owns part of apple too, for those Mac users)

Im not giving away my code, who said this was a public editable project? Also that code is obsolete.

Also that code is obsolete.
So your using variables now right?
Not just searching every location?


Request for Baddon:Noobs XD joke here's the real thing:Any stuff that someone else have to have to join server and FAIL Bin Addons.

Any derivative works become property of Step 1: Games.

Looked up derivative work in legal dictionary:

Derivative work
Quote
Definition - Noun
: a piece of intellectual property that substantially derives from an underlying work
Use of a derivative work that is derived from an underlying copyrighted work is infringement if the permission of the copyright owner is not obtained.

Since we need to look up derivative to fully understand that definition:
Derivative
Quote
Definition - adj
1  : arising out of or dependent on the existence of something else
compare direct
2  : of, relating to, or being a derivative <a ~ transaction>

So basically, if you make a small script such as echoing hello world in the console, he doesn't own it, because it isn't dependent of blockland but instead the torque game engine.  If you make any add-on that involves use of any thing that is by Badspot namely, it is owned by him.  So it really depends on the add-on. 
This is a bit of research I did before, and it's coming in handy again.


Badspot doesn't own the method you used to erase the files, but he certainly can excersize his right expressed in Blockland's agreement to take the ownership of the add-on cleaner app you made.

It's not that I want  your code, it's that I'm not trusting anyone to not put something in a hidden file that can be used for personal gain.  For all we know it could install a mod in a hidden folder that allows you to secretly gain admin powers in our servers, or possibly you may use it to wipe out an add-on that you dislike because of personal drama.
