    At least that is the apology given freely. Take it well and the pair of you can kiss and make up. Get cracking on that patch then. Your reputation is intact. Don't be so sensitive in future though. :P

    You don't have to do all the fixes yourself. As I mentioned others can submit fixes and you can be the pointman since you're apparently the most experienced. So how bout it?

    If the work load ever gets too much for him, then it may be a good idea to have some others on hand in that case that he can delegate some of the work to. His call and it depends on if there are any able to assist.

    Yes, of course. If somebody experienced enough submits me a fix, I'll add it to the patch after testing it thoroughly. As I stated in the first post.

    And yes, that person will be credited.

    Nope. It was because of removing cd-check. Since it's not official (like with Gothic 3) they called it warez.

    I see.

    I might make a version of my patch with cd check intact or add a patcher program so it will patch any .exe file.

    Also, I want this thread retardo'ed.

    You have no powar here, Drog the Black Tooth...

    No seriously, threads only get retardoed if the public deems it so, i.e. posting stupid pics.

    Tess was the only face the patch ever had, so that's a moot point. I wasn't talking about the first installment though, I was talking about the second, where they fixed stuff based on Wesp's changelog. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying I understand why someone would want credit, for identifying/collecting hundreds of bugs and inconsistencies in a game.

    No point in this now, I guess, since the drama seems to have ended. Feel free to PM if the need in a Russian-speaking representative arises again.

    I am generally very polite on this forum, but this just pisses me off. The guy apologized politely and completely. I rarely see this in real life, let alone on the internet. And you go on to insult him! Now *that's* pathetic, dumbfuck. All your "demands" ("I want this thread retardoed", "I want everyone who complains banned") make you look even worse. In my eyes, this has tarnished your "reputation" on the internet more than some minor plagarism could have.

    So I think you are a dipshit. Are you going to make some more demands and threaten to quit your work on the patch now?

    Exactly. He was pissed off and attack you with what he thought was a just cause. When he realized he was wrong, he backed off completely and apologized without any face-saving excuses, although he had fully committed himself to the attack, so to speak. That's something I respect, a lot. Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes rash accusations. But it takes courage and fairness to admit you were wrong.

    On the other hand, it does not take courage and fairness to whine like a pussy when someone makes an open accusation (as opposed to contacting him and sorting everything out), insult people who realize and admit their mistakes, and make arrogant demands you are not entitled to.

    I prefer second option because there's possibility that you will restore cd-check one day.

    It's shit you stirred up for yourself when you lamely insulted a guy who apologized to you.

    Anyway, I've said what I think about your "reputation" now, so I won't take part in any further shit-stirring. Bye!

    Changing the thread title and content is not the Codex way, Drog.

    All this cocksucking is an affront to the Codex spirit - not even MCA got this many blowjobs in one thread.

    Also, i dont care how good a modder this guy is...he's acted all lame and butthurt in this thread. So I'm with Nicolai, he definitely shouldnt get a free ride here just cos he's a modder on a game we like.

    So far your reputation tells that you seem to be an insecure attention whore, intent on playing the victim and using that as an excuse to keep insulting others. You're doing a great job with Arcanum fixes and I hope you'll keep doing that, but you also seem to have an attitude problem. Everything else you seem to be doing online doesn't show you in a good angle at all. You got yourself an apology and you're still bitching and moaning.

    For instance, I value my cock, but I can't just rely on girls to suck it, take it and tell me and their female friends how awesome my cock is. Now, my cock is fabulous! And it certainly takes any amount of extra time with anyone to put it to test, but that isn't an excuse to go "say you love it, bitch!" on any partner (unless it's for the mutual kink). That would be pathetic and weak.

    So, doing anything out of a hobby isn't an excuse for any of that drama either. If you want respect and support, keep up with the bug-fixing and present the facts about it. At least, people here so far have already beeng showing their support. If you "value your reputation", that's best you can do.

    If that's not enough for you, get the fuck out! Wait for Fallout 3 and fix that instead. You should then be home at Beth forums with cocksuckers left and right.

    Hey Drog, I would like to publicly apologize for the suspicions I had of you earlier.

    I'm going to use your bugfixes in my mod.

    Sitting on the outside, looking in and complaining
    I want a million dollars.

    Oohhh... Did it work for you? Because it worked for me!

    You know, for a man who gave up so quickly and without any word on any of the English forums, you've got a surprising amount of fire in you all of a sudden...

    I maybe didn't make it all that clear earlier but we aren't going to slam down on anyone who criticizes you. For the first part, nobody ever did complain here. In fact, if it hadn't been for me saying something, we never would've known who was complaining about the mod and why you decided to disappear. Now, pissing off so quickly when you're getting trolled, then coming back and trying to throw weight around, not a good idea. We're very happy you've decided to mod Arcanum and fix the things most of us stopped caring about a long time ago, but don't start getting full of yourself "hero".

    Gentle_Giant apologised. Deal with it. This thread stays here. And yeah, we can undo edits. I'm that awesome.

    Hey, DU. You're a bastard.

    Seriously though. First you guys start to kiss my ass like there's no tomorrow, there's 4 pages of that bullshit (and it had 7k views)! And when I'm back, you're like "fuck off, an attention whore". God damn.
