I bought that ship and the person who has it at Turbo Squid emailed me and said I am allowed to use it any way I wish and the mod community is welcome to use that model. He even said he wanted to get the game just to see it in action. That is what TurboSquid models are for...commercial projects and the artists that sell them there know all that.
I have used Lightwave from version 5.6 and beta tested version 9. I know tons of artists in that community and you have no idea what transpires between them and myself. Now you accuse me of steeling someones work and posting it on a public forum. It just so happens that at the Turbo Squid forum, all models are set for many software extent ions...max, lightwave and several others per model. Lightwave doesn't convert models into Nif files...max will. I asked Rodea if he would convert the model into a nif file...so what.
I never said you stole it, I said you referenced it as 'your work, never mentioning until now that you had bought it. A simple "I got bought this online and thought it would be great for my map' would have been nice.
Lowell wrote:Snoopy you just keep rambling out all this stuff that you read between people's lines. Others are trying to have a good time here and produce some good artwork for others to enjoy. You seem to get angry at that.
I'm not rambling on, I am doing what you refuse to do here, showing quotes. It doesn't take reading between the lines when you cab read the lines themselves.
Lowell wrote:I even offered to help you many times, and got stabbed in the back every time.
Quote these times you offered to help me that I turned you down, OTHER than when you said that the only way for SAMs to work is if the files were put in a folder in the map. That is not required, and it works the way I designed it.
Lowell wrote:Karsten told me that just before I came to this forum, several of the big map makers ran off scramming because of things you had done/said to them...many have also told me this. Many also came to me and said that if there was another RailRoads! forum they would be gone in a heart beat. I read through many of the map threads, and I can see the posts they were talking about. Every map has some comment that is negative.
Funny, I just went thru the maps and only a few left before you came around, and I didn't seem to find and screams in it. I could say the same thing about you if I chose to, but it would be a lie, and I don't do that, I back things I say up with a quote. And if you call pointing out problems with maps 'negative', then I guess everyone else who has pointed out problems and made comments about what they didn't like about a map needs to leave also. You don't want a person to say, 'This is a bit of a problem and you need to fix it'. You have stated you only want positive remarks about your maps, and if you want, I'll find it.
Lowell wrote:You seem to be against me me no matter what, every post I make you are right behind me saying something.
You have done quite a bit of advertising here with this last post...wish I could stomach reading any of it.
I'm only against the things I mentioned in my previous post, cutting down something just because you were unable to get it to work. I repeat, "I am not against your CIC maps, Just the fact of all I went thru in E-mail with you, and the fact that you have claimed three different places you got this idea from, three different times". .....and what advertising did I do? And someone must have erased all of those posts I wrote right behind EVERY one of your post.
Lowell wrote:You stated that I was not allowed to post my CIC maps...you said you didn't think the group was ready for that style map and file system...yet...well, people love it and the game doesn't crash. You also said that I "had" to make my maps so they would work in that SMRI group that crashes out almost every map. My maps won't work in that map group and the project was never beta tested and has several maps that crash. Many people that I talk to at the forum said they have had to uninstall SMRI, that it ruined their game...not to mention the maps and their files that were rebuilt to go into that group as they now crash.
Please quote those posts for me, I must have been asleep when I wrote them.
I could care less if you post your CICs, and never have cared. And you seem to miss a definition here. The SMRI was a set of ten maps compiled by Atani and Warll which they asked my thoughts on which I thought should be in it. I was given a very short time to test those maps, WHICH I COMPLAINED ABOUT TO THEM ABOUT! I tested what I could and they made the corrections that I found. So, get off my back about SMRI, IT WAS NOT MINE! As to GLOBALS, that was not my idea either, even tho you and your friends keep telling me so. Read 'Mods - Talk', 'Global XML Instructions'. In the first line I gave the credit where it was to go. I was just told to carry on with it, and stupid me, I did most of the research of it. And it worked. At the time that was created we had no idea that there would be so many Mods done, and it just grew to big for itself. That is where Tijer and I separately came up with the idea of maps with mods that didn't need GLOBALS. Somewhere around mid November we got together and started working out the structure and the bugs. And like any intelligent people, we just refused to toss it to the forum without it working correctly. Kind of common sense, we didn't want people to have trouble getting it to work and then state it was no good.
Lowell wrote:The object here is for all at the forum to have a good time, be friendly and have fun...kids come here for crapes sake...have a some respect for others for once. I have worked many months to get these maps to run and fix this game from crashing...and I fixed it, it runs great and solid. Now you are mad...I see.
I replied to that before.
Lowell wrote:Quote all you want, but remember I am an artist and I "learn new things everyday" and adapt to them if it works. You are stuck in the past...we are moving on.
For someone stuck in the past, I've certainly been way ahead of many things, and have worked to bring other there also. You think i did those Building Blocks because I got bored for four months? They are required in order to make the SAMs. I have to know what makes up each Mod, and I figured that others could use this information as long as I had it done. That is part being ahead. Just like editing a few Industries in different colors to make a player able to distinguish them from one another is moving ahead.
Lowell wrote:We are not here to talk about my learning experience with this game...we are here because too many people have complained about a totally bad attitude and no leadership skills. Even when I was PMing you and telling you I would be glad to help you on any of your projects, you were right behind me spitting out flames with tijer in areas of the forum you thought I might not look.
You are the only one talking about any learning experience.
As to a leader, I'm not here to lead, that is not a moderators job as far as I was told. It was to edit language like c**pes, which you used above when speaking about children. Good move my man. I've been a supervisor in three separate companies, two given up because I had to move, and the last because of health. As to your helping me, are you saying that I should have accepted your help? I'm not the only one to not take your help.
And I highly doubt we went off in some corner of the forum to talk about you expecting you to never find it. If we want to talk about you, there is a thing called a telephone, which we use when we call each other almost every other day to do the work we do.
Lowell wrote:Nobody is scaring anybody off of your sam maps.
I'd post all the quotes from you when you did that, but I'm tired of doing so, you just ignore them anyway.
Lowell wrote:The only differance between them and the cic style is the maps content is kept inside the map folder in cic maps...in sam maps you have FPKs that are outside the map folder and are extra files the player has to mess with...CICs only have one file folder yours has a map folder and one or more FPKs. If that explanation "scares" them off your files...maybe it is the player wanting something different. People asked me at my map thread if I could get everything into one file folder and add nothing to their default game...that is what I did, so maybe...just maybe, I gave the people what they asked for and it has nothing to do with scaring them off...also my maps don't crash yours has always crashed inside smri, I tried to tell you but as many can see this is where we are today because of me telling the truth.
Again, how you CICs work is not my concern. that has been discussed and stated several times, but again, you just ignore it. And the only way people are going to get scared away at this point is by what you have said since, until today, I have not posted any. You have told them to stay away from SAMs, not just made the above statement. But again, you even ignore your own posts.
As to my maps crashing in SMRI, SAMs don't go in SMRI, and my maps were not one of the ones I got to test.
Warll, if you are out there, either give a one liner agreeing with what I said about the making of the SMRI, or correct me in as few lines as you can, I don't want to get you into this any farther that need be.
Lowell wrote:I am complete with this conversation, and don't like harassment.
And I refuse to touch that line.
Falconer, maybe you need to create a section somewhere on your Hookedgamers where only people specified by you can go in and write and read this type of material. This would keep it off the main forum, and could be moved by you or someone you appoint. A person would have to sign up to use it, and no complaints about what is said, aside from language, could be made....don't like what is there, stay out.
Just a thought.....
