Strange PM from Ossi...

R.Hood · 07-30-05, 10:12 PM

found this in my inbox. Strange...

[i]Hello you all,

I must say sorry becous i had taken so much work from others. I just want to do others to have a functioning modpack on CD. But after so many letters and telephonates who said to me I'm doing bad things I has decided not to make money in the world trough the work of those comunity here (we will selling this only in Germany) and want to aboligaze! Also for my nephew who puttet women with no cloths on in!!!

You can downlod the german 'SeewÃ¶fle' from Rapidshare, I have cutted it in cakes so also the ISDN can download it and not having problems. I promise I want not use a falsename anymore! Please distribut the file when you can so that much fans of X1 can download it!!!

<Moderator Edit: See my post below JCC>

There probably all porn downloads and links :rotfl:

:rotfl: ...I doubt this is real...can anyone check the files?

Duncan Idaho · 07-30-05, 10:45 PM

Perhaps they lost the deal with Matrixgames? Last thing I read in that closed post on Matrixgames forum said that 'We have no connection to the Seewolves product.' or something to that effect, maybe they told X1 'Forget it, scammers'.

Well, I downloaded part 1 for curiosity. It seems to contain the real deal, wtih Air, campaign, Cfg, Crew, Land Library and Menu folders. Don't know all the mods out there but here is an extract from 'Sensors' file, backup file also included. Hope I won't get into trouble by posting this:

<Moderator: No you won't get into trouble, but it does seem that this is a scam layered on top of another scam. See below. JCC>

There's pretty big radio log fiule, skins for crew, new Airbase files etc.

Hmmm...would be interesting if it's the thing from the open server or a newer build...any readmes or EULAs inthere?

Detritus · 07-30-05, 11:20 PM

No, not in the part 1: I haven't downloaded anything else yet. I'll dig more into this (if noone else will) but since the part 1 already exceeded my dl limit per hous it's gonna take all day.

Damo1977 · 07-31-05, 12:08 AM

alrighty give me a part to download if not downloaded yet

gws226 · 07-31-05, 12:51 AM

A wise, but vengiful member would extract the "new" components of seewolfes and offer it on the web for free :|\

I've stayed on the outside of this whole thing but, too be honest... X1 does have a good idea....... they just didn't impliment it properly (insulting the modders that many of these mods)

I was deeplly involved in another gamming commutiy, that was dying for certain reasons...... the solutions were on the table... ie: modifications that corrected/improved the game. These were all readily availble for free on the internet, but to the casual user they would never be found.

As a result the game died a slow death..... but if I a companyy similiar to X1 had taken the opporunity to incorporate these modifications into an offical pak (obviously observing copyright laws and obtaining legal permissions) who knows where it would be now???

Im not trying to justify X1 actions, but just merely suggest that sometimes a for-profit operation can actually be benifical for something that you all enjoy.

I tried to DL the last file (part-12) and it fails. It seemed to require a user/password, and states: 'Your anonymous browsing session has expired.'

Maybe part-12 is the readme file...

Yes, anyone can. Just click the links to download.

:P

I D/L several parts, seems legit to me.

Detritus · 07-31-05, 04:24 AM

Hmm, can't get the last part either or maybe I'm doing something wrong. It seems to require Rapidshare Premium account access (=$) and is not available in free download mode. Anyone been able to get it with free login?

John Channing · 07-31-05, 07:01 AM

It seems that this is not legit. I don't know if someone thinks this is a way to get back at X1 or what, but the links that I edited out were not supplied by X1.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

I have a BIG problem with us becoming just like them...I know they tried to steal others work..BUT we can't lower ourselves to their level and steal their stuff.John Channing wrote"2 wrongs don't make a right"and I agree with this.I truely believe we are bigger than that.IF they decided to post the their stuff for download I'm sure it would have been posted somewhere in a public forum,NOT in a PM...sounds like somebody tring to pour salt on a wound.I have stopped posting on this matter period.I have voiced my opinion,posted in various forums and even called several software chains and informed them of the events.I will not download their stuff and become what we are fighting so hard....
