Posted by Data in Cortex Command - February 24th, 2008

A bithead named scancode made a quick and handy tool to disable and enable which mods gets loaded at startup of the game.

You can download it here!

Eventually we will probably add this functionality to the game itself, but this is great in the mean time. Consider donating to him if you find the tool useful!

Looks cool.
Purple - # February 24th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I used this up until the point that my files were being set to read-only by it, and I could not remove the setting until I restarted my computer.

It’s good, but it doesn’t take much more effort to remove the .rte in the file name yourself.
Carp - # February 24th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Nice.
KeroroCanti - # February 24th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
OK, sorry about this possibly double post, but I forgot to add some more constructive stuff. XD This will be a very useful addition to the game. Some example include if you’re just testing a mod you’re working on and only want to load that and the base Cortex Command files. Also it could help if you’re playing a multiplayer game and want to have only certain mods used, so as to limit abilities and increase the challenge a bit. And also, i thought you would add stuff like the giant enemy crab and real time weapon change like I said in my comment for the previous entry, darn! XD Well, can’t wait for more news!
Midna - # February 24th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Awesome.
Azukki - # February 24th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Hmm, it’s a slight convenience, but I don’t really see myself using it much. I always just move any mods I don’t want to load into a folder in my CC folder, then retrieve them whenever I want them to load again.
rebirth12345 - # February 24th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
what about multiple activities?
or an built-in activities switcher?
zalo - # February 24th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Now, all we need is an option to force reload inis on restart.
robolee - # February 24th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
in case you didn’t read earlier:
multiple MO’s/actors on top of each other will push each other right through the terrain, regardless of terrain material and actor weight, I don’t know if it has ever been said, but it’s been a problem for as long as I can remember (build 13+).

I think you should implement a neutral team for “wildlife” that is uncontrollable and does not shoot/get shot at.
Cole - # February 24th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Cool! Now I don’t have to wait ten minutes for CC to start up!
whitty2 - # February 24th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
@cole: get a processor with more than 1 Ghz, and a memory of over 254 Mb

@program:
seems cool, i might use it a lot seeing how i have tons of mods sitting in my folder.
Azukki - # February 24th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Also, throwing this out there again, magazine offsets are broken.
Foa - # February 24th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I Fucking Love You!!!
Ghost Bear - # February 24th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
thx for nice utility.
Numgun - # February 25th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Azukki, the magazine offsets are not broken.
Instead of the parentoffset code on the HDFireArm where you define the magazine, put the parentoffset variable in the magazine’s own code instead like spriteoffset or jointoffset for it.

Ontopic: Nice tool, but not much use for me atm.
I have a seperate ON;OFF named folder where I can drag and drop any mods I want to use or put aside.
Azukki - # February 25th, 2008 at 1:10 am
@ numgum
Yeah, but my point is that on the HDF they don’t work, AND the vanilla weapons don’t make up for it, so they are messed up. Ever notice how the original guns mags are at slightly off points?
ChJees - # February 25th, 2008 at 1:19 am
*cough* Data *cough*

I made this a long time ago :P.

Provides the same functionality but allows quick unloading and loading of mods ;).
someonelol - # February 25th, 2008 at 7:26 am
but it sux lol pwned chjess
Ophanim - # February 25th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Chjees already did it.
ChJees - # February 25th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I do not really care who did it first.

Sure scancode made a flashier version of a Modmanager, but with less features.

Comparision between this and mine.
My have:
Quick functions for deactivating\activating all mods.
Normal deactivating\activating of separate mods.
Open Source (Not that i really matters :P)
Custom folder for deactivating\activating mods. (Creates one in Cortex Command if not specified.)
Quick listing of mods. (Both deactivated and activated)
Quick launch when you are done.

This:
Normal deactivating\activating of separate mods by clicking checkboxes.
Flashy GUI.

Sums it all up pretty well.
ChJees - # February 25th, 2008 at 9:52 am
For those nitpicky, i have one thing to add about this program:

Quick launch when you are done.
robolee - # February 25th, 2008 at 10:09 am
the obvious solution is too make a ‘flashy’ GUI then chjees, the great thing about this is the SIMPLICITY, one click and mod unloaded, to me it seems like you are offended that such a ’simple’ tool has passed judgement by data and not yours.

No-one likes having to type about 50 names of mods to remove them (if you have say 80 altogether and want 20). GUI’s are just all round more practical and easier to use (see: games, even dwarf fortress would be better with a GUI, you wouldn’t want to have to type the name of a weapon you want in CC to equip it would you), this does not mean that it subtracts from the game play/program etc.

The only reason to not have a GUI is because it requires a lot more work… or you “don’t deem it necessary”.
robolee - # February 25th, 2008 at 10:14 am
For those nit-picky, I have one thing to add about THIS program:
Quick launch when you are done.

Stop taking it so hard, the only difference is the GUI, it’s just people can’t be bothered with command line interfaces, that’s all.

Anonymous - # February 25th, 2008 at 10:54 am
“donate, donate”. WTF, is this here all about the fucking money??? He made a fucking tool to manage mods, big deal, every average programmer could do that, why the fuck should he get money for it? WHere the hell did u guys leave “doing good stuff for players because the game industry sucks” ? If he wants money then he can go work for a big company, make games that suck dick and win his thousands a month. Not beg for money on the internet.

Good idea, i was looking for something that does this about b14

i had SO many mods…. T.T

Also, Anonymous, some people are more generous and thankful for the work some coders do for you for free, perhaps a little bit of financial karma in return wouldn’t go astray.

Alternatively you could sit there and masturbate over how wonderful you are, while badmouthing his “simple” application. Go write your bloody own if its so simple.

@34
Uh, no. Probably not. He said this is mostly going to be in use for AI, iirc. We might see some stuff like that later though, if lua makes its way deeper into CC.

A Soldier Heavy with a heavy digger going on a berserker style killing spree is the sort of thing I would like to see with this.

I mean, look back for the last x posts, if it wasnt for me most of these guys would just keep saying “please release, please release” and that would be about it, what a boring log. At least I have something real to say and you all participate, wether u like it or not. SO that every time you come on, you dont bore your ass off and then log out again, ney?

Daman - # February 26th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Hey JOE, learn that people’s names aren’t in all caps. And I used ‘Ey because I have shift+h bound to something in HLSS, thus I cannot type it as I was also using hlss at the time. So kill yourself, idiot.

“ya” is not proper English either, dumbass. Go practice what you preach, idiot.

scannie - # February 28th, 2008 at 11:06 am
– Well guys… I guess I’ll feed the trolls.

““donate, donate”. WTF, is this here all about the fucking money??? He made a fucking tool to manage mods, big deal, every average programmer could do that, why the fuck should he get money for it?”

– a) “Every average programmer could do that.” True. It’s a silly tool. Where’s yours?
– b) http://www.donationcoder.com/Articles/One/index.html

“WHere the hell did u guys leave “doing good stuff for players because the game industry sucks” ? If he wants money then he can go work for a big company, make games that suck dick and win his thousands a month. Not beg for money on the internet.”

– I *don’t* want money, specially from people like you. Does the app have a nag screen? Nope. Does the app expire? Nope. Did I threat you with a gun or something to donate? Nope. I simply said: If you like it, you can, and you want to, donate. That’s it.

“Yeah, fuck the stuff the community makes guys, my friend made one with good gui.”
– Surprise, surprise. I’m a part of the community too. You’ll soon be running some of my code.

ChJees: It’s fairly simple. You don’t like my tool? Don’t use it. “En la variedad está el gusto.” Yes, the app is three lines of VB code. YES, VB. It was a quick hack for a friend. Nothing more. If you guys are so against it, tell me and I’ll take it down.

–scannie
Anon - # February 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Nah Scannie, I repeat, was just trying to bring some life in here, fuck these faggots, that follow every shit they hear from someone who seems to speak rationally. Ignore the jokes. Your tool is cool and we’re glad you made it. Nothing personal, ney?
rebirth12345 - # February 28th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Joe, have you forgotten you’re not the only one playing CC, or even posting on the devlog. People like me doesn’t want the new build until everyone knows what will be in it.
rebirth12345 - # February 28th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
or…….
they want new features.
Would it be OK to have the next build with NOTHING NEW???

because that’s what you’re asking for.
robolee - # February 28th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Joe, Data hasn’t even used that as some “excuse”, in fact he is probably better now, and the whole “brain infection” thing is a (CC related) JOKE, he has viral meningitis NOT A BRAIN INFECTION.
Carp - # February 28th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I don’t see scancode showing off. I see Data finding his utility, liking it, and posting it. It’s not showing off to be noticed.

Joe: no words for you. Get a life.
Sixteen - # February 28th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
I think it’s pretty clear who thinks they stand for the community. But they are wrong. Personally, I like this app. Joe, you suck. “WE”? More like only you. He’s not looking for attention. DATA posted this up here. And if you say that Data is lazy, make your own game. Seriously, if you don’t like it, go away. Anyways, how can you stand for us? You aren’t even on the forums.
ChJees - # February 29th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Scancode, i never said that i wanted to bring your tool down. I just made a comparison between YOURS and MINE, and i just noticed the Dev-Log readers here that another identical tool existed.

Scandcode, no one is engaging a conspiracy against you.
Foa - # February 29th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Also wish there was an ‘edit’ clickey here … but continuing …

scannie - # February 29th, 2008 at 3:42 am
Well, good that we’re getting somewhere. By the way… if you wanted more features… why didn’t you ask for them? That’s what the whole DC stuff is about…
Shook - # February 29th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Neat little app this, but i don’t think i’ll be needing it a whole lot…
Not because i can do better or anything, but more like because i don’t
need to turn off/on any of the mods i have.
That isn’t to say that other people can’t find it useful though

Why does the Dev Log seems to be a cess pool of spam and insults.
It doesn’t happen as much as it does on the forum.
>_>
The Adviser - # March 2nd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
It’s because the forums have hundreds of topics to talk about every few days. On the Devlog there is only one topic for every few weeks, and people get bored of staying on-topic. This is why the Devlog is a cess pool of spam and insults.
Lord Tim - # March 2nd, 2008 at 8:39 pm
That doesn’t make it right.
If you’re just going to insult each other, you might as well get each other’s IM info and do it that way. A comment board is very inefficient.
Electroclan - # March 2nd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Not to mention that it gives an incredibly poor impression for the community. You lot are like a bunch of scared rabbits pitifully jumping at shadows, claiming that ProjektTHOR is just around the corner waiting to mug you.

Most of the respected members of the community agree that the devlog comments is a nausea-inducing pit of intellectual vomit. I’m particulary sorry for scancode, who had the displeasure of having his work subjected to petty trolls.

Comments used to be a nice “Rah-rah-rah! Go Data!” rally whenever he released a new build, as well as a nice Q&A session about the future of CC and DRL. Well, used to be.

I SUGGEST:

Moving comments to the forums. Simply post a devlog, and link to an automaticly generated comments topic in General, or something.

[/suggestion]

Oh before I go:

Stop whining about when the new build is going to be released.
The Adviser - # March 3rd, 2008 at 2:30 am
True I really don’t care about any of that, but that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t help if I could at least with the forums concerned.

ANY WAY… finally back on topic I think Lua scripting is going to be very very interesting, and that this nifty gadget will help many of us very soon, especially when we start having custom for activities.ini for individual scenes, and if it is upgraded to allow certain parts a .rte file to be turned off.

Like Electroclan wrote “Most of the respected members of the community agree that the devlog comments is a nausea-inducing pit of intellectual vomit” and I totally agree with this statment… We seriously shuld stop spamming the devlog, turning it in into another pile of shit , another 4chan if you like even. The comments SHOULD BE moderated, just like in the forums. Even if you dont like to mods there, well, screw you, they are required, and you dont need to post there.
Anon - # March 4th, 2008 at 6:39 am
@Carp: Oh believe me they are. Almost all of my comments need a couple of hours until they appear on the board, with a notice to them “awaiting moderation”. Luckily for me Data realises that I may be speaking the truth and, geez, what do you wanna do about it?

Oh yeah, and about this log turning into a piece of shit… hmmm, how can it still? Bees are bees, and trees are trees.
Carp - # March 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am

Will you quit hanging around to complain, then?

Then get a real computer?
Tomaster - # March 6th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

Agreed, don’t tell us that your leaving, we honestly don’t care. You bitch and moan, and you expect us to be sad that you’re leaving.
personannoyedwithspam - # March 7th, 2008 at 9:45 am
haha, i agree.
It wasn’t really intended for macs anyway.
And the only thing Hiro ever did was cause arguments and stuff. Thats one less spammer in my eyes.

thank god

Anyone have any rumors as to what will be in b21 besides lua?
Hiro - # March 7th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Lol, notice:
I never said I was leaving.
All I said was I won’t be -paying- for cortex command. Read that carefully. ;}
Seriously, how did you draw “I’m leaving everyone pity me” from “I’m not getting CC with money”
Carp - # March 7th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
By assuming(wrongly, apparently) that you’re more than a cheap, annoying nitwit.
Tomaster - # March 7th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
@Hiro

Well, why would you stay here if you’re not going “pay” for the game? If you crack it, then everyone here will more then likely hate you, and if you buy it, then we call you a liar. So either way you end up losing. Or you could simply admit that you are an ass who enjoys starting flame wars, and whines despite the fact that absolutely nothing you say will make anything go any quicker, ever.

Lotsa love,
Tomaster
Hiro - # March 7th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
“Words, words, words!”

If I crack it, I will fail to give a shit about what you guys think.
You seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn about strangers’ opinions.
PS: I didn’t start the fire. ;{]
Carp - # March 7th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
No, see, if you really didn’t give a damn, you wouldn’t bother posting in the first place.
PS: Your smilies grow increasingly ugly.

sorry bout double post, if there is one, but i need to correct it
Skiv - # March 8th, 2008 at 5:19 am
could you fucking stop flaming each other? Take that crap out of devlog to IM if you please. Noone fucking cares what you say to eachother.
personannoyedwithspam - # March 8th, 2008 at 8:32 am
for once, i agree with JOE!
Hiro, just leave it. No more big headed, smart assed replies to which people just hate you more.
End of.
Personally i think that DEV LOG should be moderated slightly better, but to get around the spam and flames, more updates!
More updates means no 400th post on each update, instead we would get about 50, all of which relate to the update rather than niggling at others.
Plus, this would provide far much more intrest to the community!
Give it a try Data…
Even if its just ideas.
I think people are getting bored, therefore, we must “un-bore” them =] (or You even)
=]
Tomaster - # March 8th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I must agree with personannoyedwithspam, if we had an update every week or so, this place wouldn’t be quite as much of a cesspool.
rebirth12345 - # March 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
@#128, what’s better?
B21 earlier?
or data posting updates every week, resulting in b21 later?
Hiro - # March 8th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Lol my smilies are supposed to be ugly ;-{]

Note: I said I don’t care about what you people think of me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have fun making smartass replies. It might be kind of selfish for me to look at the Devlog as some kind of game of wits, but hey, it’s fun.

@Carpet Ninja:
I have an emulator running a cracked windows OS, so I can play CC, but it takes a few minutes to start it all up, and transferring mods is a pain. Plus it runs slightly laggier than it should due to emulation, so there’s no way in hell that I’m paying $18 for a game that’s so damn inconvenient to play. So yeah, take that into account and you can see I’m not the evil stingy game-stealer that I appear to be.
Tomaster - # March 8th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
@129
I fail to see how taking 10 minutes a week to simply inform us of what he is working on will result in a delayed build.
Lord Tim - # March 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Probably because most of the updates would make any difference to you anyways. He’s working on supercomplex coding and stuff that wouldn’t make sense to a majority of the people here.
Hellfire999 - # March 8th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
They would probably be something like “Ok, so I have 150 more if then statements, several more arrays…but I was set back a little because I accidentally divided by 0″.
The Adviser - # March 8th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
I say we take a vote on it cause he might even listen to it.

All who want weekly updates put “V:Y” , and all you evil people who want an update a month put “V:N”.
The Adviser - # March 9th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Also if you put V:N because you think he will put incomprehensible gibberish then look at the guy who made dwarf fortress. Whenever he posts a piece of code I don’t even know what I’m looking at, but the actual posts are very easy to understand if you read enough of them.
personannoyedwithspam - # March 9th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Well, thats not quite what i had in mind…
I was thinking ideas and future potential etc rather than lines of code. But hey, it would be a good start.
I’m pretty sure that it’ll sort out spam and flaming quite well!!
And Hiro, if re-read what your reading you would realize how much of a jerk you sound. Basically saying “i don’t care what people say, i want to post things to piss others off because i enjoy it! I’m sure theres plenty in your position, but hey, they don’t go round complaining and annoying others.
Sincerely,
PAWS. =]
Lord Tim - # March 9th, 2008 at 10:08 am
He’s already posting the updates as often as he needs to. More posts would just mean that each one wouldn’t have anything to talk about. If you really need something to do, why not play the game, instead of sitting here refreshing, and talking to people? Go on the forums at least, at least those comments are more interesting.
Carp - # March 9th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Hell, it’s worth a shot. V:Y
Tomaster - # March 9th, 2008 at 11:01 am
What the hell. V:Y
personannoyedwithspam - # March 9th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
No need to have a go at me Lord Tim =/
I was just suggesting an idea i had to help others.
I hardly ever post on here.
And yeah, the forums are more interesting, thats why dev log needs some… “sprucing up”
Your point about nothing to talk about is good though, that was my only worry. But it can be tried, and if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work.
PAWS gives a big V:Y

“So yeah, take that into account and you can see I’m not the evil stingy game-stealer that I appear to be.”

That’s technically right, but you are an evil stingy operating system-stealer.

I have recently seen a fully working cracked version of cortex command (whilst searching for cortex command, I already have the full version- data can vouch for that), but due to legal issues I can’t report it or the website and I will not tell any of you guys who want the link just to get it free, buy it.

Hiro - # March 10th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Lol, using an illegal XP copy that I won’t ever buy doesn’t make me stingy, considering Gates has $50 billion.

PAWS: Nah, I’m just pissing back at people. They flame me first because they mistake my arguments for insults. :B
Tomaster - # March 10th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Hiro, the only problem with that philosophy is, what if everyone thought that? Bill Gates would then have $50
personannoyedwithspam - # March 10th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Well Hiro, have you ever thought that you may be using insults against people when you argue?? =/
And that maybe they get angry with you because of that?
Carp - # March 10th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Hiro, the only reason I ever responded to you was because I mistook your insults for arguments.
And there’s still that vote thing going on with the weekly updates going on, in case anyone forgot. Just saying.
The Adviser - # March 10th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Woops forgot to vote myself V:Y. Anyway I think we should still have the vote because if we did all this off-topicness would become rare.

Yes. But we’re not forcing you, Data. Sort of. Okay, maybe we are.
Carp - # March 10th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
No, we’re not, if only because we can’t. The idea here is that if enough of us want this, then maybe Data will do something about it because he cares about us.
Tomaster - # March 10th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

this has to be the WORST dev log discussion in a long time. We need to be supportive towards data…not demanding.
Tomaster - # March 12th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I’m simply asking for a weekly update, just telling us what he is working on at the moment.
rebirth12345 - # March 12th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Well, we can anticipate. Can’t we?

Here’s what I might think Data will say.
1. A new Ship Type?
2. Dropships with Guns thanks to Lua?
3. A new Actor Class (you know, ahumans, acrabs, etc.)?
4. Improved Physics, somehow (improved crouch)?
5. Why The Pirate Pistol is in the Wiki. I mean, Why is it there when it’s not in gameplay yet?
6. More Customizability? I mean, not all of us likes the current BUY MENU(gameplay), or the BYOB menu.
7. Benifits for Support Edition Buyer?
8. PORTALS?!?!?!
9. CTF, DM, REGULAR?
10. That Strange pic in the B19 teaser? (you know, that pic that said ROOFTOP 3?)
11. More Promster Easter Eggs? (flying spagetty monster, Pac-Man?)
12. Water?

Also,
ME = Longest Post EVAR!!!!
Azukki - # March 12th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Rebirth, if 2 happens, it’s won’t be from lua.
Lua’s integration is going to be for game types and AI.

Also shut up about portals.
Especially if you mean a blatant ASHPD (Portal Gun) ripoff.

An in-base teleportation delivery system would be pretty awesome though.
Tomaster - # March 12th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Only cause you numbered and listed them, but i hope, if Data decides to update weekly, it will be those types of topics.
Tomaster - # March 12th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
One last thing, is this just me, or do lots of you check this devlog 6 or 7 times a day, just so you can see a comment, post something relevent to it, and then hope data notices?
Kallemort - # March 13th, 2008 at 12:38 am
The pirate pistol is there, just because its sprite ships with the game. Check Base.rte/Devices/Pistols/ And the sprite will be there.

I have very little understanding of LUA, but i know it allows for greater modding and customization…is LUA a new language data’s going to write the game in? or just added to the existing game engine?
The Adviser - # March 14th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Well it’s only going to affect AI, and special events like cut scenes maybe or something like a volcano erupting at(insert time), but he said that everything else would still use the original coding so it will only be added to the existing engine.
Zack - # March 15th, 2008 at 4:28 am
Damn, since i buy this game there is no more update !
They say that maybe we won’t have any campaign and that not a problem but nearly 3 month without any update or real news i found this very strange/bad…
Sorry it’s only my opinion as feedback customer and i don’t have time to read every log topic.

Mooseral - # March 17th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
In theory, if we can change AI fiddlybits around, that means that we can change the way parts of actors are handled… the most basic idea for this would be a third arm with a shield that also points where the gun is facing, etc.

If we were able to do such things, it would open up huge possibilities. For instance, using this we could make our own walktypes, we could mount self-aiming autoturrets on tanks, etc.

I doubt if we will have any release of such a size any time soon, however. Introducing such a level of customization is a large step, and Data has not given too much indication of what he plans to do with CC’s modding potential.

Even basic AI customization tools for movement and behaviour would be nice though; the running into walls and “what is jetpack for” behaviour of the current AI is amusing, but does not lend itself to many mods and gets old after a while.

Bah, I look forward to the next release. I hope Data gives modders something extra to play with; personally, various shapes of bipedal actors actors spewing high-speed particles or actor hackery is starting to get old. I look forward to crazy kamikaze backstab ninja AIs.

Well ok maybe you won’t do weekly updates, but at least post in the devlog once of twice a week!
koniferus - # March 17th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I wonder how long we would talk about the future of CC after Data secretly left without telling anyone… The feeling of abandonment is setting in. Its getting dark… I don’t like this place any more I wanna go home! What was that? It’s…It’s…nothing I’m just freaking out about not getting an update
Zack - # March 18th, 2008 at 4:23 am
It’s probably at this point in every development project where you are much more near the end and where any modifications takes more tweaking without huge visible modifications.
It’s also at this point where project disappear the most without any logical reason for people from the outside.
So i hope if it’s the case that you’ll be able to go over those problems and finalise something very awaited !
Hiro - # March 18th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Guys calm down, if you’ve read the old devlogs for like build 5 data went silent for six months at a time and he’s come back every time. Just let the man work. If you still can’t wait, get up, step back, and notice that this a computer game.
Sixteen - # March 18th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
As Linus Torvalds used to say:

“Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.”

By Data on August 3rd, 2007. Release of build 15.
Shook - # March 19th, 2008 at 5:57 am
@Hiro: Very true.
Also, at build 13, it was four months before he released build 14.
If people had the patience for that, then they surely must have
the patience to wait another month.
Although i am eager to see what the next build brings, it doesn’t
mean that my ass is exploding because i’ve been sitting here and
waiting for it for a long time.

Did you papa actually tell u he has to work big time for that amount of cash there? Or that he had wished for a son that might keep up with him, instead of you?
Well, this is the truth, right here: Your money will amount to nothing and your friends will be such until you run out of cash. So you’d better begin finding another orientation in life, rather than wasting time at the computer.

out of our skin from pure anticipation all the time, and suddenly
we’d find out that it isn’t as outrageously awesome as we thought
it would be. Good thing? I think not.

Shook, are you the shook from Toribash?
Oh and you don’t win Rebirth, Carp wins.
Shook - # March 22nd, 2008 at 10:20 am
Yup, i am :3

But still, i don’t think that Data will feel more like posting
an update if you bug him 500 times an hour with it.
If he did, it would be out of sheer frustration, not kindness.
I think. I’m not one to say how he is.
Hellfire999 - # March 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
Wow, it’s only been 2 months and people are this upset?
Hiro - # March 22nd, 2008 at 11:43 am
Omg shook, I watched ALL OF YOUR REPLAYS (not really)

Consumer: Vendors are under no obligation to feed their rabid fans info about what they’re doing.
I repeat
DATA DOESN’T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING TO YOU AT ALL.
The updates he has been giving us are out of TOTAL CHARITY. Be glad you get to hear from him at all, you GREEDY SMEAR.
CrazyFarmer - # March 22nd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
You are totally wrong. He promised us with updates, features like a working campaign and we haven’t been kept-up informed on this yet.
Sixteen - # March 22nd, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Hey, at least he’s mot dead. He just posted in the forums a minute ago.
Anon - # March 22nd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Toribash is better anyhow… . Okay, i’m lying, it’s not, but at least you can PLAY it. Like…REALLY PLAY IT! Bah, there, I said it. Comments anyone?
Tomaster - # March 22nd, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I don’t really care, I’m not gunna hate you because CC doesn’t give you orgasms.
Hiro - # March 22nd, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Crazyfarmer:
Again, he promised you updates but that doesn’t mean he has to go on his website and let all of his DEVOTED FANS know every miniscule little advancement he’s made. He promised us a campaign, and if he spends more time on that than typing up big devlog posts with screenshots and concept art, FINE BY MEEEEEEEE~!!!

JUST WAIT.
koniferus - # March 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 pm
CC gives me orgasms! lol just kidding, i just really love physics in games. per pixel physics = ooooh ooooh ugh ugh oooh yeeeesss yessss MORE MORE MORE!! lol now thats proper grammar!
koniferus - # March 22nd, 2008 at 9:11 pm
oh yeah and that santa robot is killing me! anyone notice santa and satan have the same letters? what it that called?
BreenedandScrooned - # March 23rd, 2008 at 2:26 am
Speaking of which, the Santa robot on the front page should probably be removed now.

Also, koniferus, that’s an anagram.
koniferus - # March 23rd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Bingo! (looked it up later that day) lol
Killerhurtz - # March 24th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I’m starting to be scared… There wasn’t any updates/news since this one… It means no news for a month… I wonder if everything’s alright…
Anon - # March 24th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Well, yeah… it’s allright. This is the normal way things go around here. I would start to worry if there was an update… THAT would be an exception…
whitty2 - # March 24th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
around here when there isnt an update for a while, it means a new build is coming out.

soon.
The Adviser - # March 24th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
-ish.

Although it wouldn’t really hurt if the updates were a little more frequent.
Liltimmy - # March 24th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I hope that data’s fully recovered from that virus.
TFSR - # March 25th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Data; when will we be able to reset our keys remotely?
I sometimes have CC registered on my desktop, sometimes on my laptop, and it’s annoying when I forget to unregister from the desktop so I can’t use my key on my laptop.
Tomaster - # March 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
@TFSR

Just install the program onto a flash drive…
Thor - # March 25th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
You dont just “install” something to a flash drive. Windows applications have to interact with the registry.

“Installing” to a flash drive does not do this.
The Adviser - # March 25th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Yes that way you could use it anywhere that has a free computer you could use.
Data - # March 25th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Thor, the new license system will allow you to install the game on a portable flash drive and move it between machines no problem!
Data - # March 25th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Also, even the current version doesn’t touch or use the windows registry at all, just the installer does for uninstall info.
Tomaster - # March 25th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, DATA HAS SPOKEN. Data, can you give us any new involving the game?
Tomaster - # March 25th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
That was supposed to be news involving the game, not new.
whitty2 - # March 25th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
i have CC registered on my computer
i copied that whole foleder to my flash drive.
i did not unregister before i copied.
the copied version on the flash drive ended up to be registered.
the laptop i used it on never had an internet connection.
Anon - # March 26th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Cool, u found a crack… kind of ^^
koniferus - # March 26th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Whoa DATA is out of hibernation!
TFSR - # March 26th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Flash drives can be lost. Also, despite your helpful comments, I’m not looking for an alternative solution, I was inquiring about the status of a feature that was said to be in the new licensing system.
Thor - # March 26th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
You still need to interact with the registry for, like you said, installation and uninstallation. Flash drives dont -have- them.

God job contradicting yourself.
Hiro - # March 26th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
YEAH GOOD JOB
ALLOW ME TO PAT YOUR BACK
BECAUSE YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB
GOOOOD GOOOOOOOOD JOB
VERRRRY GOOOOOOOOD
Tomaster - # March 26th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
What have I said about caps? THEY MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD DOUCHE BAG.
robolee - # March 26th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
the irony in that post tomaster… the irony.

Data probably just had a holiday/break because of easter and everything and didn’t feel the need to post it here because some people would be like “GET BACK TO WERK!” and others would just spam it to hell anyway :p
robolee - # March 26th, 2008 at 8:44 pm

that is all, I spent a lot of time on this trying to get the dropship accurate and the rest… but mostly the dropship, because you don’t see the robot from the front I didn’t really know what to do for it.
Predator King - # March 27th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Holy shit! For a while there, I thought that Data was too busy in his absolute bliss of ignoring his community to post on his own blog!

Yeah, I know I’ll get flamed to death.
Tomaster - # March 27th, 2008 at 6:10 am
@Robolee

I realize the irony.
Anon - # March 27th, 2008 at 9:55 am
@Robolee
I like the pic, good job.
Cant u try to insert that mountain (or whatever it was you missed) anyway? The background would fill up a bit.

@Tomaster:
I did not want it to come to this, but I gotta say it… 5 year old douche bag! Intentionally too, I suppose.
Tomaster - # March 27th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Yup.
Hiro - # March 27th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
What did I say about how much I care about you?
I DON’T!
So stfu and quit attempting to lay down the rules of the internet. Seriously, you sound like like some red-faced teacher/parent. “WAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TALKING IN CAPS PERCIVAL JONATHAN SMITHERS?”
Sixteen - # March 27th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Let’s not start another war. Hiro started it though.
Anon - # March 27th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
So, r u guys waiting enthusiastically for the Dragonball Movie? I know I am. What do u think, is it gonna be good?
Sixteen - # March 27th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Dragonball? I hate anime. And “SUPER LAZOR FIRING MASSIVE HAIR LOLOLOLOLOLOL ANIME LOLOLOLOL LAZOR LAzOR LAZOR” Basically, I hate Dragonball.

The Adviser - # March 27th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Ok now I think that the santa bots have got you come down! I mean we should have some bunny bot or something like that already.
XDevil - # March 28th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
brb… no news from data? I would play the next build NOW! *****
Hiro - # March 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Sixteen, are you really this stupid?

1. You say: Let’s not start a war BUT YOU STAWTED IT HEEWO WAHH!
Great way to stop a “war”, idiot.

2. I started it? Pardon, but I wasn’t the one who called someone a FIVE YEAR OLD DOUCHEBAG! for typing in caps. Just stfu.
Sixteen - # March 28th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
But he left it alone after that. You brought it back up.

And what happened to how much you care about us. You don’t. If you don’t care, don’t respond.

And, you’re right, you didn’t call anyone a five year old douchebag. You started screwing with Thor.
koniferus - # March 28th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Who gives a fuck about who said what? If my fans were a bunch of winy ass children I’d probably abandon them as well.
Sixteen - # March 28th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Ok. Sorry. Just got a bit carried away. And bored.
Hiro - # March 28th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Oh yeah you’re right. Tomaster was totally in the right. He didn’t say anything AFTER calling me a 5 year old douchebag, so I should’ve just kept quiet, right? Wrong!
Really, this argument would have been long dead if you hadn’t said HIRO STARTED IT!

Also, just because I don’t care about what you think of me doesn’t mean I won’t log onto her for two minutes a day to get my jollies by verbally wtfpwning morons. ;D

Oh hell a dragonball movie? Kill it with a stick.
Sixteen - # March 29th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Really, this argument would have been long dead if you hadn’t COME IN ABOUT FIVE DAYS AFTER I POSTED THAT.
Sixteen - # March 29th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Ok, I think the devlogs a bit dead. There hasn’t been a post about the game for about 20 - 30 posts.
Sixteen - # March 29th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Oh, and my post was right after yours, so shut up.
The Adviser - # March 29th, 2008 at 10:28 am
you know what. I’m going to get a chair, some popcorn and sit down to watch the flames.

Also how much can we say about a little program that just removes a few letters and period from a folder name? Let see…

Nothing I can think of would be true so I will try harder…

Yep all that program is special for has already been said 10 times.

Yeah, what KONIFERUS said.
The Adviser - # March 29th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Also how does posting right after some show that your right? I hate to admit it, but on SOME* points hiro is actually correct.

*just capped that so I don’t get flamed to death or anything by people who only read every 4th word or just don’t understand I said “some” not “all”.
Sixteen - # March 29th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Ok, fine, I screwed up. Happy now?
Anon - # March 29th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Christ, u guys r kinda sick , u know`? Aint u got REAL problems to go about in your REAL life? Leave the poor kid alone! Sheesh.
Go feed the pigs, milk the cow, spank the monkey, quit arguing on a fucking Dev Log.
Tomaster - # March 29th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Adviser, what points is Hiro right on? I’m not trying to be rude to Hiro, I’m just wondering which ones you think he’s right on.
Tomaster - # March 29th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Additionally, I think Data does this just so he can watch the flame wars. No offense to Data. Also, what points did Hiro make in the first place?
robolee - # March 29th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
look unless you guys actually have ANYTHING decent to say, don’t say anything else, that includes you anon, I know you are angry at them for all being “spamming idiots” but moaning at them just makes it worse.

you have all been coming on every day “for two minutes a day to get my jollies” -Hiro spamming up the last three devlogs, and we are all sick of it.

HERE:
http://i-like-to-spam.blogspot.com/
it contains the exact same post by data from this dev log page, go fight it out there.
Tomaster - # March 29th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
But what you said isn’t decent either. But OK, I’ll shut up, unless I have something constructive to say.
The Adviser - # March 29th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Oi! Look at the size of that flame mates! seriously I do think that DATA does watch this for shits and giggles when he is stressed out. Also I forgot what points hiro made that I agreed with, and don’t want to remember them, but I can only describe him as a clever asshole so sometimes he is right*.

*barely…
Hiro - # March 29th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Lol Robo if you look at the arguments you see that they all started with someone getting pissy about a barely negative comment I made to them.
I really don’t intentionally start flame wars, they just seem to happen. I dunno if I’m not being sensitive enough to you guys feelings or what, but boy do they start all of a sudden. xP

See, I’ve realized that everything in this world is immaterial and worthless, except for actions and words that transcend the mundanity of the all the pointless garbage churned out every second of time.
At times I feel like if I tried hard enough I could just shut off the world and fade away, and others like I could just walk out of my house with nothing but the clothes on my back and just keep walking.
Anyone get similar feelings, or do I have some kind of mental quirk?
Has anyone just suddenly looked around at the people around you talking and had the sudden urge to shout at them that it’s not real?
Hiro - # March 29th, 2008 at 11:33 pm

Ooooh boy, don’t go spreekilling on us…

Maybe you should pray for Neo to come and save you or sth…

But yeah, I get your point. Although I wouldnt say I feel like that… Except if its some asshole talking, then I’d like to punch him in the face. But that’s just me though…

Have you ever looked into Hinduism, Hiro? Sounds like it might interest you.

NO.
Hiro - # March 30th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Roman Catholic ftw.
Hiro - # March 30th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Probably the reason I feel things are pointless is because I acknowledge the existence of heaven, where there is so much happiness that we cannot even imagine it.
Think about that. In heaven we are so happy that WE CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO REALIZE with our human minds how wonderful of a place it is.
Something to look forward to at the end of your life, rather than just oblivion.

Oh and please don’t say “omg god aint real evolotuoin ftw flame flame” Last religious discussion ended up that way.

holy crap you guys, if Data doesnt want to make an update, he doesnt have to.
Tomaster - # March 30th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I’m confused, you just said that you smelled an update, now you say that we should shut up. And we didn’t even whine, all we said was stuff we smelled. Is it that time of the month for you?
whitty2 - # March 30th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
haw haw haw
no.

i said that to get everyone off Hiro’s spammy ass.
i said that last post to get it through everyone’s head that Data doesnt make an update every single week.

Who knows? maybe he is reading this spam hole of crap and post maknig an update because everyone is whining about one…
Tomaster - # March 30th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Ohhhh, ok. Sorry then.

Well, Data spoke up at posts 244 and 245
