Eg. you wanted to be credited because Eric Kearns "saw your Hand of Nod post" and decided to share the old Renegade assets.
You should be credited simply because he read your post?

Actually, Eric was reading the Commando Nod Turret post and that eventually led to releasing the assets (by both you Aircraftkiller and Kearns).
http://www.renegadeforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=10399&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=100

Eric is the original author of these assets and by no matter how the assets were edited or copied, the copyright is hold by him and Westwood Studios/Electronic Arts.
You can't simply erase somebody's name from a table and stick your name on it.
Also remember this..

Eric Kearns - former Westwood Studios Lead Artist for C&C Renegade


My two cents...

Anything that Westwood made and is out there for Renegade should be freely distributed. Who made these Westwood assets no bearing on the issue. If someone wants to keep these models and not distribute them to the community then it's everyone's lose. The idea of having a mod community to me means everyone shares assets and everyone tries to make their own cool maps using the assets (or their own new ones). If someone wants to keep certain items under their thumb and not let everyone play with em then shame on you. Be a pal and let these people share the fun.

It's simple. I'll find a way to post all the stuff I have so everyone and their mother can get it and use it. If someone wants to run around claiming it was something they made then I'll call their bluff and we'll be done with it.

Now I would figure there would be some opposition to this idea because people are keeping some goods to themselves claiming they have a right to keep certain things private to their mod. So fire away or flame it up or whatever it is that you want to do with such fodder.

That's credit. That doesn't equate to respect. Regardless of whatever you think.

What Eric said is his own opinion and I don't happen to share it, because you're a whiny little moron who couldn't do what I asked before I would release those assets voluntarily. You couldn't cut it and get some actual work done, you just wanted something to show off and make people visit your site.

Now put that together with the "I'm just here to piss people off in this thread" remark and you get what's called "pushing buttons to incite funny responses."

Quote:

i never said that you claimed to be a part of EA. i said that you act like you should have the final say about any "fixes" to Renegade. and i said that you have no right to act that way because EA has the rights to the game, NOT you.


I have every right to act that way because we both know that EA isn't going to do anything about this game in the future.

and i said the community SHOULD be the ones making the decisions.


Now lets reverse this around.

Quote:

this argument is really pointless though. at the end of the day, everyone's still going to hate you for being a little prick, and everyone's still going to hate me for being in FUD.


I doubt everyone hates me. Hate is such a strong term to use toward one another. Maybe some people dislike me, but all? I doubt it, I really do. If you think everyone hates me because you're in FUD and you're used to being hated by most gamers for your "pompous ass" attitude...

Quote:

i do have one question though: if you really don't care about having the respect of anyone on these forums, why are you defending yourself so vehemently when all i'm really saying is that nobody respects you and nobody should?


Because saying that is a fallacy in logic. You do not speak for everyone because you are not everyone. Remember where I said I would argue with people who wrote ignorant things?

Asking for credit DOES equate to asking for respect. It RESPECTS you to give you credit for something. If you're too arrogent to see that, not only am I not surprised, but I also pity you.

That means that when you whine about getting credit, you're (broadly) whining about getting respect. [/quote]

Nowhere does that apply to credit.

I may not like someone but I'll still add their name to a bibliography or a Readme.txt simply because it's the right thing to do, not because I respect them.

The ol' EGO DETECTOR is going off.


Mr. Kearns' word is valid because he was on the payroll. Because he helped create this masterpiece.

If you follow your OWN logic that exposure to the Westwood Development team validates your opinion of Renegade, then the same applies to Mr. Kearns even more so. Your disagreement with him, has no merit. You are going against the will of the very company you claim to represent.

A westwood studios employee is a far more credible resource than a kid who made a map, and emailed some folks at Westwood to get it in a patch.

And if you remember correctly, you alone didn't get it in there. The community was polled by Delphi to see if it should be considered. When the response was an overwhelming "YES" it was included.

You have forgotten who helped get you where you are.

The very same Mod community that you now forsake, and Westwood employees who trusted you with thier hard worked resources that you now squander.

He wasn't on a payroll to talk about "mod communities" that he wasn't active in with C&C. The game is not a masterpiece, but the engine is.

How do you know what happened? That's right, you don't.

No he wasn't. Delphi wasn't even around at September of 2002, he was too busy promoting Generals for EA-P. There was no poll.

I asked Greg Hjelstrom if we could spare the resources to get in an additional level for the game, one that was supposed to be in at the 1.030 patch, and he found a way to get it in through the QA team. I submitted several versions to them and they finally accepted the version we're using now after a patch to 1.036.

No, I haven't. This entire community has helped me get where I am.

I've always forsaken this "mod community" because it was always garbage. There have been a few gems in the rough that I've picked up and asked to help me with Renegade Alert but that's about it. I haven't squandered anything. If you want to see work squandered, go look at SeaMan placing specular highlighting over a metal Tiberium Harvester to make it look wrapped in freezer wrap.

Are you dense? Seriously, you're smarter than this.

If you DON'T give credit to someone for something they've done for/to you, you're not respecting that person or their work because you're effectively taking it and showing it off as your own.

If you DO give credit where due, you're showing that "this person did this work; contributed this idea; whatever." This is a conscious decision, "Do I give him credit, or do I not?" You ARE respecting the individual's work, because you are saying "I didn't make this, but this person did. Here is his name".

Growing up in a Military setting, I'd think you of all people would know you don't have to like someone to respect them; but giving credit where credit is due is respectful.[/quote]

And you are neither WS, or anything to do with it, thus your 'status' is completely invalid, and you should NOT be claimng to represent thier ideology for this game.

And yes, it is a masterpiece. It captured the imagination of all C&C players who loved this game since 1995. It captured the spirit of the genre, and expanded on it to create a game experience many of us will never be able to replace, RenAlert included.

Delphi was around, because Cliff Hicks wasn't, if you remember correctly. Yes, he was busy with Generals. So? He asked this community if Glacier was something we wanted to see incorporated into the last patch. He also asked us some other questions regarding what we wanted to see in the next C&C game, and some other questions about what we liked / didn't like about this game. Seeing as I can't exactly do a database search of the old posts, I will leave it there. The background machinations of why Delphi asked don't really matter.

And if this whole community helped you get where you are, then why do you continue to keep harassing it, and anyone who still enjoys it? There aren't many of us left. Your mission will be complete soon.

It is NOT for you to decide what is a 'keeper' and what isn't for this community. It is up to us when we choose to download it or not.

I would guess you were never IN the Military then were you? You have to respect the authority of officers, as well as the integrity of those around you. You might not like the people, but you better be sure to respect them otherwise you'll find yourself face first in the dirt at 3am. Remember, whenever you say "sir" you're respecting them. You choose to say it, therefore it is respect. Hollow, yes, but still respect.

I'm open minded, just not to mind games or attempts at swaying my opinion to something I don't care to think about.

Nah, that wasn't what I was refering to. You've ragged on people for months about posting for no reason. If you're not going to think about something, then you're posting for generally no reason. Laughing

There is something inheritly similar between those two objects, wouldn't you think? While it's arguble that spam can be used to annoy, and therefore a reason, many times there is no reason behind it. I think PiroXD was a good example of that.

I think you misunderstand when I say "no reason". I'm using in the context that something is done for the sake of it.

Oh how I love when people think that trying to insult me is going to bother me in the least.
For 1, I'm not going to change my signature or name.
2, What I meant by 'treat others as you wish to be treated' is be nice to them & they'll be nice to you, not even slightly based on their signature or name.
3, Don't attempt to insult someone who's not going to be bothered by them to start, you'll just waste your time.
4, I have yet to get banned from ANY forums where I've registered (20+), shows how much you've proven to me in saying "an obnoxiously annoying signature and name that would get you banned from many forums on sight?"



First of all, it wasn't an insult. If you aren't bothered, why reply? I knew what you meant by the analogy, that wasn't the point.

Let me refer you to a forum that cares a bit more whether or not people act like douchebags. But before I do that, let's take a look at a rule ON THIS VERY FORUM.

Quote:

Signature Image Size - Please keep them small as signature images should be. In other words it shouldnt be bigger than a few lines of text, or so wide that it stretches the forum page beyond its normal bounds. Just keep in mind that by definition a "signature" is a small signoff message. Anything larger than 3-4 lines of text stops becoming a sig and turns into "that big picture at the end of the post". Please also make sure that your signature image, if animated, is not over approximately 250K. This is to ensure that the modem users (yes, everyone doesn't have broadband) don't have any problems.


See that little image you got of that stick man trying to kick some door in? see, in a way similar to the stick man, you're SMASHING through that rule at a world record.. some odd 300kb in fact. So not only are you inconsiderate, you're annoying a lot of 56kers (who were probably more annoyed at "pwnage runs in my blood" than anything else).

Now, take a look at the somethingawful.com forum rules. Keep in mind, there are other forums out there with similar rules. http://www.somethingawful.com/forumrules/

Quote:

Signatures cannot exceed 30k in weight (total) and must not include more than 2 images or 3 lines of text (in 1024x768 resolution). Images may not exceed 400 pixels wide or 125 pixels high. Failure to comply will result in your signature being edited down to the preferred size. Restoring the signature to the pre-edited state will result in a ban. Please refrain from posting your sig file in every thread, every reply, and every post.


Quote:

Gimmick posters, unless intensely humorous, will be banned and shot in the face. Same goes for people posting parody threads or SA character impersonations. Any furries or Scientologists will be banned on sight. Anybody who writes in AOL / script kiddie speak (ie "pw3ned", "0wned," "r0x0r") will be banned and we will hunt you down and drive railroad spikes into your hands.


See now, this is just funny. You'd be going through the ban door like a hyperactive kitten with a rocket strapped to it's back.
