TO UBI
 
UBI, give the modders some euro's or dollars and they fix the game for u. All happy. End of line.....

Greatings from Jan from Holland (Pays Bas ore The Netherlands)

Diopos 05-11-10 02:48 PM

Nope. Not "some" euros. If people are gonna be payed it must be "proper" euros.
On the other hand if they're not intersted in SH anymore the "noble" thing to do would be to release the code ...


Yeah right.......

Sonarman 05-11-10 02:56 PM

Perhaps a controlled release of source coordinated by Neal with confidentiality agreements with Ubisoft signed by any who work on the code?

Skyraptor 05-11-10 02:57 PM

Man are you a dreamer.

Madox58 05-11-10 03:00 PM

That would happen just a quickly as allowing the U.S. to fly over France to bomb Libya did back in the '80s.
:nope:

Sure, why not???? If the game works good all happy, so i agree. Cheers mate.

Negotiate a license agreement with Ubi. You'll get a lot farther that way than by posting here. *shrug*

Madox58 05-11-10 03:22 PM

People have been bending over backwards kissing arse since SH3
to have just a small chance to improve this series.
And we got SH5 as an answer.
Then got slapped in the face AGAIN!
:nope:

I'll not have anything to do with any new Ubi Games EVER again.
Je suis fait avec des produits Ubisoft!

Good luck trying to get the source code from the company instituting DRM on their games

Nisgeis 05-11-10 03:35 PM

Careful! Ubi will take your money and then give you the source to SH5, the ipod version.

Madox58 05-11-10 03:40 PM

No,
they will take your money, take your IPod,
blow up oil rigs off the coast of Texas,
then surrender when confronted!

Once War reparations are levied?
It will take them decades to repay them!
All the while ripping us off!

And our fearless Leaders will allow this to go on.

if you dont think the developers look into the modders work when making their 'patch' you are mistaken.

Besides there is specific language that allows the developers to use modder's efforts without recompense. It is considered UBI's intellectual property... end of line.

Madox58 05-11-10 03:52 PM

I don't think any Modder cares if they use thier work.
I can see several Guns I did for VonDos re-done in SH5.
I consider that a very big compliment myself!
It's the BS that keeps getting thrown in our faces I'm ticked about.

Well, it is last minute to organize a petition to GWX team - to continue and finnish GWX4...
This community deserves modern sub SIMULATION (OFFLINE).

I would be the first one to pay $ for a download.

Is it really too late ?

***
Let the SH5 fans enjoy their ONLINE RPG, or whatever it is, without our complaining... SH5 should have it's chance... but SubSimulation community also deserved its chance in future...

There is some precedent for this, it happened in the case of SHII & DC when an independent software contractor under Neal's instruction/ contract modified the original multiplayer code with the permission of Ubi to Direct Play format so.... could it happen again?

There are a number of the GWX Team doing things.
It's in NO WAY a major Mod effort.
Nor can you call it a GW Team effort.
Unofficially?
You might want to call it the Marble Cake Idiots!
:haha:
And those involved have pretty much decided on an
Open Source type deal.
We will not hide any thing we are doing.

(not with Duane Doutel though as that ended rather controversially!)

Ugh. No Doutel.

Adriatico 05-11-10 05:40 PM

Exuse me privateer... is it just my English... or I do see some light at the end of tunnel ?

If I got it right... "paramilitary gangs" of ex-GWX elite force continue to fight ?
:up:

Is there "retired" stamp missing on your signature?
:o

Wheeere the hell is spokesman Jimbuna when you need him most ?!?
