What a nice surprise! Thanks

THE TEST 1 has been up for a few hours with the latest build, hopefully there is another public test this afternoon.

Are there any features currently in the build, working or not - that you would consider removing before the alpha, that you aren't satisfied with?

Great job compiling quotes completely out of context, from a conversation you had no involvement in - the authorship situation was immediately resolved and we have all been credited with our active and ongoing contributions. We absolutely love helping the community grow, that is the only reason we care or work on it in the first place. I'm not quite sure you understand how permission works exactly. By your logic WE are the impolite ones for noticing, or caring for that matter.

And now you are beginning to feel exactly as we do.

That is your opinion, to which you are certainly entitled to - as is Venthos and Alby. Fantastic, end of discussion - since its so easy to code in your opinion, perhaps the people you are defending should have done it in the first place instead of ripping from various sources to duct tape together something without the extremely simple courtesy of asking those that, again, in your opinion, wasted their time creating it.

You're pissed off about something that wasn't even included in the mod (it was merely listed in the changelog for a few hours) This is about you, 2 minutes in: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=aba_1332656862

The biggest contradiction here is, this comes at a time when we were planning on releasing our server pbo's and keys to select administrators that would respect the core vision of what we are working on every day and run their own Redux servers as both our EU and US servers are at capacity. Had they made a single attempt to contact us prior to cannibalizing the changes we worked so hard on this could have been a very different scenario.

This is an issue of morals, not "protection". The files are no different whether they are released upon forum registration or are able to be downloadable prior. The moral issue here is, you never made a single attempt to contact the creator of the mod. You simply downloaded the files, and had your way with them. Just because it didn't require a forum registration makes NO DIFFERENCE how you treated the code as your own. Please show me where exactly in this thread you've given Redux credit? Or on your official release log? http://rangerz.freeforums.org/index.php?sid=afb656a160dd1935148084b7dcd25cad The biggest contradiction here is, this comes at a time when we were planning on releasing our server pbo's and keys to select administrators that would respect the core vision of what we are working on every day and run their own Redux servers as both our EU and US servers are at capacity.

The difference between a download link being public or "private" has absolutely no impact on the structure of the PBO and how client-side code that is distributed is easily unpacked and examined. Your argument that just because you can download the file, that you are entitled to what it's composed of has ZERO validity.

I will quote Venthos on this, which he was going to post before you banned him from replying: And as for your suggestion: This "experience" you describe is exactly what we are all spending our time and effort on, and blatant copying of our work really puts a damper on things. The removal of our code from your rebranded Rangerz Mod would be a step in the right direction for everyone in the community.

STOLEN CODE

For anyone still wondering: What is DayZ Redux

Great fight for sure, you guys had us surrounded - or so it felt that way.

THIS. And wrongfully so.

MediaFire link posted to the site :)

Those looking for whitelist access can do so by going to the site and submitting their information: http://dayzredux.com/

Oddly enough this actually happened on a completely different server, and a different variant of DayZ - ignore :D

Sorry mate that was me, i used the parts in it to fix the bus by solnich and rolled a convoy with a few other players through elektro and cherno. I logged with it blocking the entrance to the elektro school.

I completely agree, burt part of the hunt is finding said camps and reclaiming vehicles, starting your own and being at battle. You will always have vehicle hoarders, but with a bit more variety on the chopper department i think it would spice things up. In particular i love the uh60 mev one from fallujah, non-combat but is great for medical evac. Also the old moto would be a nice touch, instead of just the dirtbike.

Ok finally trying it out - i think it would be great in the development stage to enable side channel temporarily - can't really communicate with anyone if you have issues

Looks promising. Would love to see a bigger variety of vehicles and non-lethal helis if possible - flying is the best part.

Great App - is it possible to allow full screen? I'd like to see a bit more of the chat log

Axz, thanks for posting - he's been banned from the server.
