i also see stuff from my mod in the first video... is there a download? Id like to know how much more has been taken

i had crashes due to material crc error already and i remember that LS mentioned something similar aswell
and there are more possible risk as you can not simply just change the texture... you have to change the entire mat which is in many cases not that original anymore and probably has different references to other files

here i can only speak from what i know of my own mod and there are more than 20 cases this might cause problems because FL would suddenly be missing secondary textures (overlays)
Im not sure if that would lead to a crash but i am sure that this would cause error logs.

just because on your server it is not considered a cheat the other servers out there dont have to think in the same way

a graphic mod (HD textures) being used on my new mod would not only change the textures... it would change much more... that alone is not permitted

and what if that graphic mod causes a crc conflict on the materials? -> unidentified crash for the players using those mods and the admins and modders are getting blamed for bugs while they are unable to fix anything since their own work is free of errors

make it mp incompatible - that would reduce all problems to 0
most FL players play only SP

quickfix, sdk, unofficial patch and whatever else is out there were designed to fix the vanilla game and to build mods uppon a cleaned bugfixed environment
for some to me unknown reason some ppl (mainly normal players) think that they have to use the SDK or other fixed if they experience any problems with mods
so they activate the sdk or whatever and overwrite mod data that way... which in many cases (not in all cases) will cause even more trouble

and even the JFLP is highly risky

first question:
effects: why do you think that my mod does still use the vanilla stuff or why do you think that the this vanilla stuff is still working in the same way it once was designed? Maybe your changes cause problems because you refere to something that does not exist in my mod anymore.
short example:
you decide to change the look of a weapon
so you either change the weapon effect or the vis_effect and use the one that you think that looks better (both effect definitions are vanilla)
if my mod does not have this effect definied anymore or replaced it with a custom one that I simply consider much better then every player using that weapon would ctd
(that is the very basic example... i have some more that could happen)

second question:
IF your mod would get activated in FLMM right before you activate my mod (and this statement is valid for other mods out there aswell) my mod simply could not load and FLMM would abort the activation
Even if this would not happen one question appears... why would somebody activate your mod and overwrite it with my mod? That procedure wouldnt actually wouldnt be that effective.

@FF
indeed that mod might be a good addition to vanilla servers, it might work pretty well and stable
but if not taken care about it players using this mod might have an advantage over players which dont use the mod (depending on how this mod is designed and which features will be used in the final version)
however... i believe that even vanilla servers have rules that state not to use mods if you play on them
every player using such mods risk to get banned without warning
question is "is that worth it?"

even then not
because the graphical changes (mainly the effects) can be conflicting with the stuff that is already supported with my mod
and since FL has very strict limitations that could cause crashes
the server rules already say "you may not use other mods than the official version of the server mod"
the rules are clear and rule breakers could get banned

should all server admins set up passwords now and lock out new players? or maybe we put the passwords into the server info where everybody can read it... type it in and crash the server.

destabilizing servers without that admins can do something against it
didnt i told you that this would [email protected]
now that its released it will spread

nothing against your efforts adoxa but i recall that since day one after the FL release memory edits were supposed to be cheats
have you ever thought about the possibility that your tool and also other optional mods that have been released in the past month (and that are freely downloadable here) are considered cheats on various servers out there?

Meanwhile the server admins have no say anymore on which tools and mods are being used on their own servers. It doesnt surprise that more and more admins have cheater problems and that normal players get upset and probably leave the game.

Yes - i know the features are meanwhile more imporantant than the security of servers... what a shame.

you forget to say that these posts were made after people here started to attack me and my work... you blame us if we defend ourself from initial attacks that got done here?

you cant let it go to attack and discredit another community... that is what is happening here
it went even so far that Septimus which meanwhile joined SWAT received personal attacks and threats via mail containing that some people here want to destroy SWAT
how sick are you that you have to act in such a way?
because of what?
because I said "no" to some ideas.... go to the threads and have a look how many people voiced ecactly the same oppinion about those ideas.... do they get blamed? no... if they say something then it is ok.

you blame me for going to TLR. look around how many of those people here went to TLR to get their mods announced.... underverse, monkey universe, discovery and many others but the only community getting blamed for it is SWAT

you blame us for what we wrote on our forum... but you dont say that this was just in reply to what has been written about us before on THIS forum here
obviously when you start to flame about others ... even insult others then it is ok but if those others defend each other then it is an evil act that we initiated because what you have done before to provoke that we have to defend us is suddenly not important anymore

Maybe I just should post some logs on my forum to show what is happening here. Maybe I should post some screenshots from the TSP admin boards... some communities our there would surely will be interested and for sure surprised about what has been discussed about them.

and about the self praising
as long I was member of TSP the oppinions about the achievements that have been done for the FL community it has been used by TSP in various threads and news.... "WE THE IMFAMOUS FREELANCER COMMUNITY have achieved THIS AND THAT... WE HAVE MANAGED TO GET MANY FL COMMUNITES ADDED TO THE MS FANSITE... WE HAVE MANAGED TO BUILD MODS THAT GOT INTO THE TOP100 OF MOTY AWARDS.... WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH OTHER STUFF... WE ARE THE HEROS"
actually that stuff has been done by others... and now is called "self praising"
