Black Sheep/Bawb

[KILROY]

Thanks!

[S_hift]

I'm probably gonna get a lot of shit for this but I don't care. My gf deleted tribes and all i have to do is download a 2.5 gb uncompressed configuration of my original....

So yeah ANYWAY..... Crow and Bawb where beefing because Bawb did quite a bit of coding and was never given any credit for it. I'm going to use this term VERY loosely and say that "supposedly" AND according to Bawb and other people (whom i'm not going to mention because they will just deny it or lie about it), said that all Crow really did was use their code (which apparently they actually wrote and or searched snippets of and rewrote) and "ported" it over to Annihilation. Imho that is legimitely all annihilation is and there really isn't such thing as "original code."

I'm not denying that there are several key components added to annihilation that Crow made himself because that would be a lie. Not to mention an arrangement of admins who still keep this thing running. But that's beside the point.

To show how angry he was Bawb got shitfaced and used the server host to clone several copies of the mod via the same ip address (just different ports obv). Also he sent several copies of the beta mod to all his buddies (this was the one with all the cool secret admin shit).
This is where things went from 15 to 100.

after that the server message started to contain the words "<ip adress here> is a fake server!" and it still does lol

From a third person perspective I think crow was going to add blacksheep into the credits but the mod was unfinished and broken (and probably still is lol). He is listed on the credits and has been there for a while now.

Bawb was acting really vindictive and started being a douche bag because he thought crow was power tripping and wasn't giving him the credit or space to mod freely as he thought he deserved.


ps. I really miss tribes and I really need to work on my grammar and punctuation.

pps. "fuck i dropped my carls jr" - blacksheep

ppps - No one person owns the mod, or tribes for that matter. It's a collective of people and it starts with us.

But but why did she delete tribes

[AnniDv6]

Thanks for the recap. I knew some of that, but that outlines everything pretty good. His name is in the credits in game, but it doesn't say much. It also doesn't even list some of the main people that made Annihilation in the in game credits, so there's that. Make us some more maps S_hift


I created a credits file by looking through the files for when people made // notes and this is the credits for annihilation that I was able to gather:

I cleared some of the old bans. If anyone sees Bob in game tell him to come to the forums.

First off, good to see you S_hift! And Ghost posted a download from his personal folder here on the forums in the Technical Assistance area. Get back on so we can kick your arse!

And thanks for giving a summary on what happened to those who didn't know.

Second, thanks AnniDv6 for helping out in this matter.

Third, I was on for quite awhile last night, and was hearing things from players complaining about this and that in game due to another player on the opposite team using it against them. I tried to relay to each player that they needed to join these forums and to post changes they would like to see to the Annihilation mod, due to current coders requesting this to see about what type of changes might happen in the future. Unfortunately, none seem interested in registering on this forum.

I did catch a few complaints, some don't like the jailhouse, but some do, but don't like how long you stay in it, also most don't like the way you can setup laser turrets close to the jailhouse and when someone leaves it, they are instantly killed by the multiple laser turrets that were setup. They complain it's just too easy to gain kills in game and is an unfair advantage. Some say there should be no turrets allowed to be placed near the jailhouse.

Another complaint was the use of invisibility by armors. Some in which they can go under the map and appear near the enemy base to do any damage they can in that armor.

Base Killing (BK'ing) is always an issue, especially when you have a troll doing it in game to upset the current players trying to play the game, but even an experienced player has to do this every so often depending on the situation they are in. Maybe we should set up something in which you BK so many times something happens to you automatically. Like auto jailhouse, blind, freeze, etc. If you continue to do it, showing you are doing this on purpose, you are stripped of all weapons for the remainder of the map, or be kicked.

Another complaint I can remember, was being able to stack so many defenses to use in an area, and it should be limited. They say the game is Capture The Flag, not Fortify.

The last I can remember, was having smaller maps to play on, in case there aren't a large group of people on playing.

With having multiple server's hosting the same mod, maybe we should try a new mod and see how things work. Like a Capture & Hold in which you take over a certain area and have to defend it from the enemy and gain points as you hold it. Gain so many points and you win the map. Or even some called Keep Away....first to the flag, grab, start gaining points as others try to kill and take it away from you. You could even make this with 2 teams and 2 flags, in which you don't have to touch the flag to gain a point, but the flag if touched by the team that owns it is returned to it's starting position, and if your team has the enemy flag it starts gaining points and you can hand it off to another teammate to continue to gain points, but if killed, the enemy can return it to it's starting position. You can still use bases, with armor changing, and defenses. Team Keep Away.

AnniDv6 - you forgot to mention that Perrinoia fixed the martydom bug and the necromancer glitches. Along with many other "bugs" that where purposely placed into the old edits of the BR annihilation edits. but yeah just sayin lol

[BlackSheep]

I have returned!!! Thank you all so much for your help getting my account reactivated! My cell number is 916.420.6997 feel free to text/call me any time.


Kilroy I can help with all the above issues but coding without the mod is way more difficult and time consuming. I am happy to help with permission from the people who are in charge of the mod - lots of my code is already in Legends. I am happy to provide my support

[KILROY]

@Kilroy I think you mean Dark posted his download not me.

Oh yeah, thanks for the correction Ghost, sorry DaRk about that.

Easy solution is to teach people how to destroy jails.. Autofunction like the above for base killing wont end well coz most of the time even legit players accidentally destroy others D. I think admins being there to monitor is enough since there are a lot of admins right now and kicking the basekiller is better than banning them. Also keep in mind this server runs an old legendz where many of the updates death released arent present like weak deployables and all. Its better to play in the real server once its up..
