Well one thng that you can do is use their words against them in a sense. "Mark has told me that he wrote the majority of the code for SC mp3 player, and Tom helped him with it. However, Sven Viking has said otherwise... "
Hmm the leader of your mod says otherwise, plus tom, now i personally don't see why two mod members would lie about this....oh a big war with RealDm ooo, oh wait Sven Coop has allready been released(end sarcasm ;p)! He kills any truth to his claim here: "I don't even consider the mp3 player "Stealing" because Mark wrote the majority of it". so many mods out there, I propose a mod council that will oversee the justice and rights of mods. the last part was a joke :) Poltergeist Leader http://poltergeist.unitedgaming.net/ Dark Truths mapper http://darktruths.c4software.net/ -----Original Message----- From: "Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 13:24:20 -0000 Subject: [hlcoders] What to do when people blatently steal your code? This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I know this is slightly OT, but ill go on anyway :) I used to code for SvenCoop, www.svencoop.com and made the mp3 player for i= t, both Sniper and Shimms can vouch for this. Then a coder named Mark joine= d the team, but was eventually kicked as we suspected he had stolen parts o= f our code, and he was found to have entered rouge code. Then a few days go= , some shots on PHL showed our mp3 player in their mod. We then got into di= scussions with planet halflife on what to do as we wanted to warn them of m= ark. Then we found this on their site: Well lately we have been receiving complaints from the Sven Co-Op team sayi= ng that we stole their mp3 player code, because Real DM Co-Leader, and lead= coder, Mark, was a previous coder for them. While the SC team is claiming = we stole the code which was originally written by previous coder, Tom. Mark= has told me that he wrote the majority of the code for SC mp3 player, and = Tom helped him with it. However, Sven Viking has said otherwise... [...] However, someone from the SC team is also accusing us of stealing other par= ts of the code for Real DM and that is just pure lies. I don't even conside= r the mp3 player "Stealing" because Mark wrote the majority of it, however,= accusing us of stealing other code just because of an assumption, is not r= ight. The mp3 player was completly written by me ( with advice&help from another1= another ex-coder of svencoop), and its just lying that he claims he wrote = it. Anyhow, we are trying to get it sorted, but im not sure there is much we ca= n do, any thing you can think of? --tom -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
