Well, who SHOULD be looking at it? I'm out of this, mostly, and simply have found no time to check out this huge patch. That leaves LordHavoc, and I haven't seen him for two weeks now. I am even less inclined to look at your patch after the master of arrogance and manipulativeness tried to push the issue on me.
Gah .. I know about who you are talking about ... What can I say, you should know I was a little disgusted with him. I made clear my position in a post, like a lot of other people in that odd thread. I think the message was clear. But now I'm just waiting for a change, I think that most people can change, and not losing faith is the best way I know for making that change happen. Maybe I'm just too idealistic, maybe not. But this time I just don't know about what you are talking, I'm afraid I'm not part of that. All I can say is that he just asked me in good grade to talk with you about getting my code reviewed. Anyway I think this is between me and the developers/maintainers, I really don't want/expect to involve anyone else if it will not be for constructive feedback and good vibes.
Remember that his pressuring me to implement stuff I didn't even like, and then complaining that I did it wrong, was one of the main reasons for me leaving, as I refuse to work for an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT as a HOBBY when under PRESSURE by arrogant manipulative people.
Well I work mostly as DBA, but I'm a part-time developer too with many years of experience, and I think I understand how you feel. Since I've started lurking on the forum I saw a great deal of bad vibes against the developers, maybe the same kind of complains you get when you are maintaining any other system. You have there both extremes: retarded people and good people, you can choose to who do you want to listen, talk, interact. I'm afraid you took too much of the bad energy that is *always* (imho) floating around. My point is, you enjoy programming and enjoy playing this game, also I can bet that you have very good friends here; Can't you just ignore all the morons and the noise and just get what makes you feel good or what you can interact in a positive, constructive way?
And no, there is no such "structure", and never was, as such structure requires people to support it. The team is simply too small. It was too much for me to do everything on my own, so I had no choice but to leave.
Yes, I know. What you made and your level of understanding of Nexuiz really amazes me. And you resisted too long. I don't know what to think, maybe this is a side effect of not having a strong leadership, or maybe we should be a little more organized. It's clear that all the project direction, maintenance, bug fixing, presence on the forums just can't /shouldn't be handled by just one person.
Also I know that when someone is involved like you in a project it becomes really hard to leave from one day to another. I prefer to think that you want a change, instead of stepping back.
Just wait, there's nothing else that you can do.
I think I waited enough, if I don't get a review soon I will ask for SVN access, I feel strong enough for requesting it. If not ... well I think it will the right time for giving up.
Has anyone of the "users" tried the patch?
I know some friends that can help me with this. I'll try this way too. Anyway I'm confident enough about the quality of this patch, I really don't want to waste anyone's time.
Also add to this that the bot code is only really understood by LordHavoc. It is nice that you did get so far, but well, even I don't understand what that code is doing.
Yes, its a pain in the *ss. I had a hard time reading it before to start writing.
Thank you very much. I'll try this way too.
