Can I get chat mod?

Na

When you try to sign in, it says authentication failure and it does not allow you to change your password because the site is on sale or something lol Does anyone know if this is working or not?

My boy JR-Imagine website went down but he patched out the auth in the 1.0 version. He's kindly given me a link so I can help people out that are having issues.

That should work fine. I'm going to be decompling it soon and fixing up any issues that still exist.

I've gotten an email from delta, about the new chat. and the picture was 4 years ago. it has been worked on for a long time.

I've seen that image too. It makes me scared every time I see it The chat is having a complete rework and recode ( once all the other bigger projects are out of the way ) so anything you've seen or hear about the chat is likely not going to be in the final result. Although I know for sure that private rooms will be a thing because thats a big focus. Other than that, who knows...

Thanks for the progress/news update! It's been great following UGX for so long.

On the topic of chat, which I saw earlier, could you maybe make it so you open chat up like Chatango does, where it pops up in the bottom right or something? That way you can have chat open, and still browse around the site, all while in the same tab. Just an idea.

At one point this was the plan... Although the chat has been side lined for so long, I don't think that anyone at UGX has an official plan of what the chat will look / function like. The suggestion is a valid one although the need for an embedded chat may be a different story... Who knows, I'm sure we'll update everyone when a chat update is incoming so we can begin the hype  

Bugs people have been reporting for past three years? 👏

Thats the ones!

Hopefully the UGX Chat will gain more activity this year. It may not. But it will be cool if it becomes active like 2-3 years ago.

Everyone uses Discord these days. It's a shame because it was nice to have all of our community talking in one place. Maybe a new update to the chat will spark things off again?

Before you give the weapon your going to want to take the players current weapon. Here is a nice and simple play to do it.

workbench waittill("trigger",player);

player thread do_knuckle_crack();
wait(2.7);
player playLocalSound("zmb_cha_ching");
player takeWeapon( player getCurrentWeapon() ); // new 
player giveWeapon(getWeapon(level.weaponGiven));
player switchtoweapon(level.weaponGiven);

On my phone so check the ref to make sure those function names are right.

You think respect just magically comes back after passing time? Of course it's still relevant.
Bye again, see you again maybe in a year or so.

There is really not much I have to say. I think you reply to Jr-Imagine perfectly represents what is going on here.
I want to go into how harry is lying about what ever I did to his cod ( apparently ) and how all of this is a huge fabrication of the actual truth of what has been going on.


But no. I am not going to stoop as low as Trem and Delta have in this post. You both value your community as much as I would value my worst enemy. I have nothing more to say on this fact. I have no database. You feel for a trick.


I give a million apologies to everyone this has affected and I am truly sorry. I was mad. I was in a bad mood and I was being a little bit stupid. I never meant for this to happen. I didn't want any of this to happen. UGX ( Trem and Delta ) made me believe they where going to continue using my designs with out agreeing to give me credit. You can see why this would annoy me. I worked very hard for months to make these design.


I am frankly appalled by UGX for banning me after I reply to a topic to defend myself. Nothing more. Nothing less. I just wanted to DEFEND myself in the public's eye. You disrespect your members and you have the audacity to say you are being transparent but you only are when it looks bad on me. I have admitted my mistakes but you do not care to admit your own.


But yes. This is the final thing I am to say on this matter. I will not be stooping any lower I have already been forced to. Thank you to anyone that is smart enough or is able to see though all of the smoke and mirrors and see that there is two sides to every story. And I apologise again to every single member on UGX this has affect.

MiKeY.

By Delta: brought back the original message, without leaked internal image of UGXL

Haha, This is amazing to see. By the way thats not my name. Nice try though? I don't know. I do not give out my name. Well I will have to give it you. You got the first name correct. My name is Michael.

Right so lets get this clear. I was scaring you. I took some lines from the db and then got that shit off my system. I am not stupid enough to handle a file like that. I then continued to put it in the middle of a large spaced out document and sent you a screenshot. This was a scare tactic. I am not stupid I did not take anything and nor do I have anything to leak.


For everyone of whom is currently thinking I am the bad guy:
I am not going to go into all of the whole thing because its about 6 - 7 months of drama and shit. I started working for UGX as their UI Designer. Working on UGXL ( UGX Launcher ), UGXLIN ( UGX Launcher Installer ), and UGXHP ( UGX Homepage ). I was doing this all for free to help out the community I love so much. I wanted to better this site and better it for the community and not for UGX.

I had been working with them on designs and concepts and then finally working on getting them up and running. ( like this. The UGXL main screen. {removed screenshot of application}

over the months of working with UGX I started to become the bad guy in their eyes. I was continually trying to change things to better the community but it was met with a huge amount of negativity and on some cases abuse / just being a dick. I kept on working with them despite all of this and in the end I could not take the shit from Delta and some of the shit from Trem and I wanted to leave. ( of course all of this would be told extremely differently in their eyes. But what ever. )

I sent them this message:
http://pastebin.com/17KrdN7a

This is me saying that I have come to the end of my time at UGX and I am basically being forced to leave because of stress and how much time the projects have been taking. I also stated that I would be taking my work with me.

This is where they became children by saying that I have been threatening them with legal action where in reality I just stated what I would do if my work was to be continued / copied.


They then become extremely defensive and I had to stop. I left them with a simple agreement to agree to. They where given the choose to have my designs, concepts and all the work I have done for them excluding the source files and all they would need to agree to is to keep me in the credits for the designs while they where using my designs. Seems pretty fair to me. Right?. Delta spouted a load of crap about how he wanted to take legal action and how they would try to tie me to an agreement that I was never given.

Well in the end I asked them if they had come to a decision and they said they decline in about the most cuntish way possible.


So I scared them. I was bored of the shit. I was board of delta and I wanted 5 minutes of them shitting them selves. So I faked having a db. Seems fair enough right? You be a cunt to me and I will get my own back?

Sure I am not perfect but I really really tried to make it work.

I have skype dumps of all of the conversations but I need to go though and remove anything that is classified as secret / not public information regarding UGX. I will be sure to give them to who ever wants them.


To anyone that actually knows me. You know I am a nice guy. You know I would not do evil shit for no reason. I have always tried to help this community out and for once I got bored of the shit.


So to everyone that has changes their passwords. I apologise for UGX not looking into how a file was made or requesting any more proof than a small screenshot that basically had a lot of numbers and information I could have made up seeing as I know how the SMF DB works.

So yeah. Take this how you will. I am not the bad party in all of this. I offered and extremely nice agreement and they decided to turn it down and act like children. I will also pastebin this response because I know it is going to be removed.

(Image removed from quote.)

yes guys im back to work ... just got my pc working again. and sorry ... shortly after my brother passed away last year, my and my now ex fiancée broke it off after a 3 year engagement and 11 yrs together so I kinda fucked off for a bit.....

Its great to hear from you again
I will try and get in contact with you soon so I can continue helping you with this project. I am also very sorry to hear about what happened and I hope you are feeling a little better now.

Welcome Back Rambo.

I am going to start this by saying I am going to only write a small message but I know its going to end up being a page long. I, like Stevie, have been hearing and seeing a lot of this 'T4M is just not need', 'I don't play T4M maps' and other such useless statements that I tend to just ignore.


At the end of the day there is a lot of complexities to the whole idea of patching a game. Sure someone like me or the maker of T4M could rip into the source of the game and build it up and build it to be better and then ship it out but unfortunately that is highly against the EULA of the mod tools and everything else that has been release about the games inner workings that also follow and are sectioned under the EULA. Legally we can not give out a .dll and we really can not give out a .exe. As everyone knows, 3arch do not care about the modders, their communities or their players. They care about money and honestly that is the most worrying thing about the whole idea of sending out a beefed up version of the game. For one they could use the EULA and other agreements you agree to when you start up the game against the modder and try to take legal action. Of course this has never been outted to have happened but we have seen people being emailed from 3arks legal team telling them to take it down or more will happen.


So because of all that, its hard for us as a modding community to improve upon the platform that we mod. T4M is an excellent idea and at its current stage I am still seeing that amazing idea but unfortunately its not open sourced ( anymore ) and its trying to abide by those issues I have listed above. The game is so old and the BO3 modding tools has officially added the last nail to the coffin of CoD5 modding. We need to say Fuck you to 3ark and improve our platform but none of that will ever happen if people are against using a drag and drop file that patches the game to be able to run more.


Yes, I know. People are using it to be lazy but who the fuck cares. If people are being lazy with their maps then leave them to be lazy and they will see that laziness in the feedback they get on the map. At this point the maker of T4M should make an auto updater and pushed T4M to github so we, the community, can help build upon this idea and to get all of those features and limits we face at this point fixed or at least improved. Then everyone should make their map require T4M because once someone has had to play a map that requires it then they will have it. I strongly recommend getting it because it is something that helps map makers give the map players more content to play with. If we stay in the dark ages and our shitty asset limits and our engine limits then we will always be complaining about how the map is always crashing and how its not got enough X or its lacking in Y. We should all shut up and use the thing that makes the game better and for mappers makes the game easier to mod and map for. Why force back the release times of maps because of limits. There is no point. Its a waste of the mappers time to support something that can be easily fixed and its a waste of the communities time skipping through all the useless comments of the people that just need to learn to accept that there is something they will need to spend 3 minutes downloading and dropping into the correct folder to then never need to do it again.


The maker of T4M should create a simple website explaining what the tool does and how to drag and drop a file into the dir of cod and then also just make a simple download button to get the latest version of it. This way mappers can simple add a link to the website to make the process of getting the tool easier.


There are people that I have spoken to that do make maps and look down on the people that make maps that can not need to use T4M compared to their map for instance. Normally this would be a small map that requires T4M compared to a large map that does not require it. They will normally ague that if they had made there maps correctly they would not need it but to them I argue that there is no one way to make a map or the maps assets or how to make a well structured layout for zombie pathing etc. There is so much that mappers either need to be taught or need to find out for them selves that I am not surprised that more mappers are needed T4M to get to the release / Beta stage of their map.


I am completely in favour of this. I love the idea. I love the concept. I just wish it was open sourced. to the people that do not like this then they are the reason that the transition to a game with less limitations will be no easier than them getting over petty things like code stealing ( but that is a completely different topic ).

Tl;Dr -> Get lost. read my post or ignore it. What I have said can not be put into one like. but if you really are that lazy. You are the problem.


Ps: I have not read everyones post. I will go back to them though and edit my message if I see it fit. this is more of an open message to anyone against T4M.
There may be spelling / gammer issues but meh. I am sure you can get the gist of what I am saying.

Snip

Its looking nice although it would be good to see it scaled correctly.

Just create a 7zip archive installer I suppose.
I seriously don't understand how people don't understand "place it in your WaW root folder". How does that not make sense?

And as rementioned by Harry the DLL is changing every so often and when there's an update there's some beneficiary stuff added into it. I don't want people to be stuck in an older version.

Add a auto updater. It should not be to hard. If you need file hosting just PM me and I can give you some of mine Also can you unlock the third-person dvars please?

If you want good beta testers for maps I would put myself forward. I know what I am doing to a stupid extent when it comes to modding and I am a pro zombie maps breaker. You can hit me up on skype if you would ever like me to beta test for you. I will actually feed bugs back to you.

Perhaps better chat mods are needed then. Pretty sure the chat mod at the time encouraged it actually. If you were on at the time those things wouldn't have been said until you left, that's how they operate. And you are aware of the problem now are you not? Or do you want me to make a formal complaint via PM?

I tried uploading last night while I was sleeping and when I woke up it was stuck on 28%

You are more than welcome to make a formal complaint to any of the staff if you feel that it is something that is needed to be dealt with by the site staff.
