Author Topic: Strato's Mass Release - He loving did it wrong.  (Read 1683 times)

I would like to point out to you. Delicious chocolate. It tastes wonderful doesn't it?
Too bad the wrapping is made out of dog stuff.

The following should be common sense to wrinkly old modders who frequently make models and stuff.
But apperently not.

When you are updating a model, that has been available to the public, either by beta server, or you actually releasing it before fixing the model, know this.
People are going to loving crash.
"But how should I fix it?" you ask. And then I stop to think. How is it that a scripter like me, who hasn't ever released an add-on containing a model in his life, know how to fix this, when someone who frequently makes models doesn't? Maybe that question will remain unknown forever.

The fix is simple really.
Change the filename of any model or sound or whatever that you make. That way people can redownload it when they enter a server, instead of getting a packet error and having no idea whats wrong.

I am right and don't try to say that there was nothing wrong with the mass release. Buttcigarettes shouldn't be allowed to post in drama. The only way this topic is going to be solved is if modelers who also release stuff come to listen to the whole point of this thread.

tl;dr? You're not involved. If you are involved, you're hopeless.

And it appears I forgot to spellcheck, and give a link.
Spellcheck - Oh well get over it.

This isn't worth a drama thread.
If you wan't to complain about the quality of his work.
Then do it respectfully in his thread.

Making this topic is just going to create a uproar.


Btw Chrono. I'm not a butt-cigarette.

I rarely talk to strato anymore. Maybe over MSN for help. Because he still knows a bit more than I do about milkshape.

But, It's unfair to make a topic like this.
It's obvious that you "mad" at him so you decided to take the latest "mistake" of his and "OHH I CAN MAEK DRAMA NOW!"

There's no point. I noticed this too, if you release a add-on and you HAVE beta tested it publically. You should rename it.

For instance, if you look at my hatmod. Some hats have numbers at the end of them.
See what i did there?
Yes.

Anyways, once again. This isn't a worth a topic.

I never said you were a butt-cigarette.

K.

I wasn't mad at him. I was getting annoyed at the number of:
<name> connected.
<name> has left the game.
<name> connected.
<name>: I got packet error.
<name> has left the game.
<name2> connected.
<name> connected.
<name>: Ugh.
<name> has left the game.
<name2> has left the game.
<name2>: sry i crahs
<name2> has left the game.

Glad you noticed how to fix it.

Oh and for clarification.

Yes a topic was needed. It's to set an example for everyone.
This stuff has been happening since like... ever.
But when the time comes that a popular group of content comes around, and this happens... there will be problems.

I'm pretty sure strato knows how to rename stuff.
You just caught him at a bad time.

Now, if he released versions and forgot to rename them. Then that's worth a topic.
But beta? Common.

The only people who care are the beta testers.

You know how people get with weapon packs. >_>

Everyone who models and makes add-ons who frequently update must know this. Good thing I already knew this a year ago.

Agreed, first had this figured out when I finished the Tab11, put into effect with the M1911 (Both unreleased. :3).

personally, whenever i update a model i just add a version number to the end, or if there already is one increment it by one

solves the problem pretty well


Yeah, im pretty sure strato already knows how to update his shiz. He just was lazy/pfft or something.
