Don't know if this is possible but just an idea

Postby Xandria » Fri Jul 31, 2009 3:14 pm

Would Steam be willing to work with you on Nexuiz such as you provide them with an extra game to download free, Nexuiz gets more users and publicity and hopefully there can be some work around to include the VAC system into Nexuiz?

I already know about the licences issue but I'm just wondering if this is a possibility since it would:

1: Increase the popularity
2: Decrease anyones attempt to cheat (Being banned from all VAC games is not what anyone needs when they are paying for most of it)
3: Be on a mainstream site which is browsed and used by millions of people.

Not saying it's possible. Just a query.

Screw VAC for Nexuiz. The game is basically secure as it is!

However the extra amount of playerbase would be neat. I still get the feeling it probably wouldnt work though.
Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

Well I think steam is downloaded for free. The VAC thing is centralised though so I dont know about that.

Good idea, to boost the playerbase, only divVerent can tell us if this is feasable to do though :P
:]

If it means not letting anyone play without steam, then I am absolutely against it. E.g. I cannot even RUN steam here.

If it means just using Steam as an additional distribution service, then why not, but it won't help against cheating then.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I was trying to turn people ON to free software, not scare them OFF.
