No UM2?

DavidG · #1 September 22nd, 2002, 03:04 AM

The reason for the lack of UM2 seems kind of obvious: "I decided not to release them because of some serious complaints I have with the community - and still do."

Which is too bad because I'm not really sure what those complaints are and am pretty sure they are not directed at me.

I hope he plans to release it someday in the future or maybe upload it to shrapnel or something.

Can't you spread the download of the mod over several sites and put up a different part of the mod every month or so?

What about downsizing it? Like instead of one big mod, maybe a tech mod, quadrant mod, map mod, ship sets, and stuff.

Hmm... why impractical? I've seen dozens of zites doing that. Okay, it's not the same material you're trying to give us but it could work. Couldn't it? Why not ask a few good people from this board if they woulkd like to host a part or the whole mod? That is if you're willing to give it and not sell it. If you're going to sell it, then I'm out of ideas.

Lines like that make me wonder if your complaints are real, or not. Nothing personal, but if you won't describe the complaints when directly asked to ... you really shouldn't ever bring them up in the first place.

I have a machine sitting in my room doing nothing but playing with idle CPU cycles on some distributed computing program. I could easily turn it into a web server and host this MOD myself. Granted, most people could only expect speeds of about 2k/s if I have 20 people Online, but it's better than nothing. If more people chip in then we could have about 5-10 people hosting the full mod and allievate some of the stress on the individual.
