Hi there. The problem with moving too fast ingame is that other players can't keep up with how fast the client and server registers where the player is exactly in real time. In other words, you would move as fast as you would, but another player will just see you appear and disappear. If we think about it, that's exactly what we are aiming for here, but when we actually see this in action, it's terrible and breaks the game.
Everything else seems do-able.
p.s. I have never heard of that game before (city of heroes).

I think it would be quite alright to have all tutorials translated in the future, we can even create a new tag Translator

I want to rework the tutorial part as mentioned in the question thread.
All tutorial sub-boards will go to one board on the main page, so people don't have to look in x sub-boards to find and search stuff.
Question now is:
Should I also add topic-related tags for the tutor?
Like
Tutorial: 3D Modeling
Tutorial: Database
And if so, what tags would be nice? Yes, tutorial topic tags are definitely a good idea. Also let's get a list of volunteers for translations!

I wonder if we should go write a post like this one on your website

I agree with Steff. I think the right thing to do is help an already established community. I offered myself to help Modcraft. I don't know who has offered their help, but perhaps a thread should be created for people to sign up and join the cause?

:-) And than somebody fucks me when I'm telling that some reactions of some people are not totally mature :-)
Ok, unfortunately I have now to go to sleep early. Old guys, you know ;-)
I vote again to delete tomorrow most of this discussion. There is no reason to let the whole world participate in this private discussion.
If it is for some reasons not possible to delete some or all posts I vote as follows:
Regarding the X'Mas time all posters (incl. me) delete their own posts by EDIT and replace it by a nice X'Mas card, screen shot, poem or something else. Take it as a punishment ;-)
Good night.
well buddy, this isn´t a private discussion.
and you did post it for all the world to see
I on the other hand request that mountainlion be demoted, I find him extremely offensive and find his way of communication aggresive, defensive, childish and most of all not suited for his role as a moderator. He starts flame wars wherever he goes and even his recruitment thread got people into a "fight".
I also don't really see which particular set of skills made him get this rank and I have never even seen anything he has made.
The only thing he does here is whine and being annoying.
thanks.
"I'm sorry I don't see it that way but let's get back to topic and avoid a shitfest shall we?". And you avoid becoming the asshat of the class. Just saying.

You realize though that the thing you're doing right now is the same thing you accuse me of? Being stubborn, defensive, and always wanting to clarify your point of view? You keep coming back always wanting the last laugh. You just don't stop. Yet you accuse me of the exact same thing. Is it okay for you to do it, but not me?
Please, respect the fact that everyone else here has agreed to move on and stop flaming. This is ridiculous. Oh but of course I realize this... I hope you can see how fucking annoying it is to be this way. Awesome, let's move on!

All I know about this 'new website' is the following:
Since months their owners make guerilla marketing and try to steal Modcraft users. They contact people here by PM and Skype and try to make bad mood against Steff and Schlumpf from Modcraft.
In the beginning I assured my support for these young people and liked the ideas for a restart in the modding scene.
I gave them in their forum in a friendly manner a lot of detailed hints and tips about website issues, CSS fixes, RSS stuff and shared my opinion about their old domain name which was not optimal in my mind. I told them point by point why I suggest to choose another name. I offered them my help in German translation of some part of the website.
All what I got from them was blaming me as an idiot who doesn't know anything about everything. They spit on my public forum posts in way I never saw in the last 20 years. They blamed me personally in Skype. And they kick me out of their community with really verbally harassing words. I was really very very shocked about such a childish behaviour.
After looking few weeks later I have seen that they have implemented all my proposals and even changed their domain name.
Of course there was no 'Thank you' nor any excuses.
Go away Milly and shame over you.
First off, I don't agree with Steff on many things including WoW Modding but he is a cool guy and has been my friend for many months now. He has even helped me with learning some German. Schlumpf hates me, sure, but I don't hate him. We pick fun with him often, but what does that have to do with this website? Nothing.
And I'd like to assure anyone who reads this, let it be known that Magnus is a lunatic. I don't know if it is an English language barrier or not, but when he came onto our site he started saying extremely hurtful and offensive things to us, not in the manner that he described.
Yes he made valid suggestions, but in such heartless ways. We told him we appreciate the feedback but that he needs to understand that we're not even in Beta phase yet. And still, he criticizes relentlessly in a very impolite manner. Eventually he goes too far and I ask him to stop being so fucking negative.
He flips out, starts calling me as some heartless crazed fool, just as he is doing here. He is wrong. I am so tired of this man thinking that he is better than everyone and more intelligent just because he's 50-some years old. Just keep on calling us kids and young people. It really shows your character.
This is an example of you creating drama when you should instead think before speaking OR even speaking about it at all... But Milly always has to clarify things to the point it becomes a shitfest, as far as I've noticed. A way I would personally go about things when they start to go wrong is: "I'm sorry I don't see it that way but let's get back to topic and avoid a shitfest shall we?". And you avoid becoming the asshat of the class. Just saying. This message is entirely directed to Milly. p.s. Also if I'm wrong about the threads not being the exact 100% same I don't remember it has been a while since I read them. I don't know if you edited them at some point. I don't care though.

Locking this topic viewtopic.php?f=29&t=9939 is a little bit against the rights of a free speech, isn't it ?
Sometime things have to be told. But they don't need to put in stone.
Me(Milly) and Magnus came to peaceful terms just now I take this as an apology and accept it.
However locking a topic in a continuous discussion so fast is imho not the right way.
I vote to delete the whole topic (incl. this). The participating users had their fun. What has been said was said. There is no reason to let such things to stay for the rest of the life.
Personally I'm surprised that it's allowed here to advertise a competitors website. So I vote to delete the whole topic incl. the opening post.
I feel sorry that the small community is split in two parts in this way but still wish the new project all the best. As much as I agree with you, we cannot just delete things. I also wish the new project good luck. I don't think it was the best way of going about the whole thing but that's just me. You had your fun as well.

I was about to lock this thread, it has reached the point of no return.
But there is no point, as you will most likely create another thread someday and continue with your shit drama. There is also no point in re-banning you because you'll just create another account and start throwing shit everywhere.
I am not the type of person to be this way and Steff knows it, but I can no longer consider what you have to say, do or think as a person so my attitude towards you is disgusting naturally.
Please, if you will not leave this site, then at least do not create shit drama on threads. Go outside, start a fight with someone and let them beat the shit out of you, maybe you'll become a man because you're acting like a little girl.
I can confirm what Magnus said. You try to turn people against Steff/Schlumpf talking crap about them... Be a man and accept it. Now it's public knowledge... We can at least be comfortable that people can see the other side of your one-sided point of views.
You are the type of person that is a plague. Have a nice day.
Edit: I'll just edit my post since the thread is now locked.
I forgot to mention that I read this same thread on your website. Question, why is this thread "The nicer version" and why is the one on your website more shit-talking about Modcraft? Hmm... Questions questions.
You brought this on yourself boy.
Ok, I'll accept that. I don't "have the right to mod here" lol... I can also say, you don't have the right to steal what others worked on for years and years, which is: Building a community, taking the glory for yourself telling people 'it's for the better of the community'... Hehe fucking weasel

It always comes down to money for Blizzard.
For them it is more expensive to go after 'small time' servers even if they are making/earning a profit. The only cases where Blizzard would want to sue a private server is if it's population (like Steff mentioned) is high enough to generate thousands of dollars a month.
In other words, if a private server earns enough money to be sued (a profitable law file against) they will sue the private server only if they can win the case.
These are the two main things to consider:
1.- How much does the private server earn? Is it enough money that Blizzard can win in a court case against?
2.- In what country is the private server being hosted? Blizzard can not extend their legal rights to certain countries, at all.
Those are the two key elements to consider. If you take care of those two things, you are 100% safe.

Sorry did I say advertisement? I meant to say recruitment.
I very much dislike how people always have to be defensive or corrective and you are like that I believe.
But like I was trying to say, regardless, good luck with the website in all honesty.
Take it or leave it lol seriously

This entire thread is beginning to look like advertising to me. Which I personally don't mind.
But on topic, I think it's good that you guys are trying to "refresh" the scene by taking matters into your own hands. I've seen your website a couple times already and imo both Modcraft and yours could do better in certain aspects. Sometimes simple & easy does it, unless you're main targets are kids.
Regardless and as Schlumpf already mentioned, none of what has been said or discussed has to do with the decline of activity within this area of the modding scene. There is no need to attribute things to the "problem"... And it's not a problem, you know. It's not a problem that there are no new faces in the scene. The biggest problem I see is people reworking the same concepts over and over again with projects. Years and years of pretty much "the same thing", it's boring.
I have seen here a few (very few) neat ideas that have potential. Take for example Stoneharry's recent project which is sort of like a single player dungeon mode, I think. It's cool and more people should join that project. Learn along the way and contribute to it, let it grow and then start on something else. But everyone's too busy with their own "unique stuff" and exactly that has been the problem here forever I think. Which is what divides the community into circle jerk groups. Take Maruum for example, you don't like it? Fine. Although at least, someone proposed the bigger project and put it on the table. What happened? Well...
So let's say that either Modcraft or you're site starts bringing in fresh modders into the scene again, what then? Sure, their first goal will be to learn about the scene, but then they'll want to start with their own stuff. And that's fine, but there is no sense of unity towards a common goal.
So my conclusion is that the one true problem with the scene is the lack of a common goal. To accomplish things as a whole community; Developed Tools, Completed Projects and Hunger for more creation.
Currently no one is offering this. Everyone's busy in rl but when you really enjoy the hobbies you have you make time for them... If it's worth it.
There's my two cents.
