Title: Death of Tremulous
Post by: floodbud on April 24, 2007, 07:15:18 pm
Here is the deal.  Every mod I have ever seen for Trem (except server mods that add control) have been focused toward giving humans alien-like features, and giving aliens human-like features.

Tremulous was founded upon the idea that two incredibly different teams could still be balanced.  With the upcoming mods, this is being neutralized, making them more the same with significant balance changes.  This needs to be stopped.

Since no one with a creative enough mind has the smarts to mod, here is my proposal:  Whenever you find a mod that has any "old" or just re-teamed features, post the following on it:

NO  MORE MODULATION!!!

This way, we can save the spirit of Tremulous and win the fight against mindless neutralization.

Please help in this fight.  Tremulous needs your help.

Without the mods tremulous would be boring.

I'm thinkin Trem is just fine the way it is, and we will have to adapt to 1.2, but that's still in development of course. We'll have to wait and see.

However, a little modification is fine every now and then. Sometimes just messing around in different ways (*cough* MGTURRET killing your whole team) is pretty fun.

I think regular Trem is the best though, no masive changes could really make it better imo.

part of the reason i like tremulous is the comparable alien-ness of the alien team compared to humans. its the reason i also hate playing as aliens, its a Completely different style of play. i agree with floorbud.

part of the reason i like tremulous is that its FUN and mostly balanced.

I dont really care if its humans vs humans with the exact same weapons.

as long as its fun and balanced ill play it.

Somebody should fork Tremulous and remove the ability to load any pk3 files besides the default ones. Then we'd have pure Trem all the time!

OK, up until this point, you sound fairly rational.

Quote from: "floodbud"
This needs to be stopped.


There it is. Why? If you don't like the direction the Tremulous mod community is moving in, join in and make suggestions of your own, or just play the 98% of servers that play straight-up Trem on default maps. Why come here stamping your foot in childish petulance? There are so many other things you could do that would be of more benefit to the game and the community that it staggers the imagination. Surely it staggered yours.

1) Contribute to the ongoing 1.2 and Mods forum discussions
2) Start your own server
3) State your opinion about the current status of modded Trem, your love for classic Trem, and swear never to play anything but, and on default maps besides, and then go do that
4) Start your own mod
5) Go to servers that play only classic Trem on default maps and thank them for that and encourage them to continue
6) Complain to the mappers for giving freely of their time to create custom maps (since they're probably unbalanced, too, iymo)
7) DL the source code, or GTK Radiant, or any bit of related code and see if you could do better
8) Realize that Timbo is a dev, not a modder, that tjw and Norf are currently changing Trem into 1.2, vcxzet is having issues, and Ris is having fun.  

And I'm just getting started.

Quote from: "floodbud"
Since no one with a creative enough mind has the smarts to mod,

 
OK, there you crossed the line again. Timbo's not creative enough for you? Risujin don't have enough smarts for you? Where's your mod, big mouth? Where's your IDEA for a mod? "OH Tremulous is just wonderful the way it is! Don't change a thing! I want to remember this moment forever!" Boo-frigging-hoo. Try reading the credits screen before you open your mouth, you non-knowing spam-thread-starting know-nothing, (a person who is obviously unable to learn from past mistakes). Speak in specifics, (what mod don't you like and why don't you like it?) or STFU and GTFO. Go play whatever version of Trem you like in whatever form you like. 1053r!!

Here is my proposal:  Whenever you find a thread that has any "old" or just regurgitated complaints, post the following on it:


SHUT UP FLOODBUD!!!

This way, we can save the spirit of Tremulous and win the fight against mindless idiotization.

Please help in this fight.  Tremulous needs your help.

The learning curve for Aliens is harder. Try playing as Alien until you don't suck at it. It took me a full two weeks. The first time you dretch two or three pinkskins in one spawning, I guarantee you'll smile like never before. And I'm still pretty bad, but I won't NOT play as an Alien. I play as Alien constantly. How else can you be a complete Human, and know Alien strategies and weaknesses? I think yer a cool person LB, but how can you make that statement and say you really have an opinion about the game? You only play half the game! The sucky half. You can get a gun and shoot monsters in tons of games (maybe not multiplayer, true) but in how many games can you be the monster (not just an alien with a gun like in Quake/AvP/Halo)?

And, please, don't encourage floorbud (sic). He still hasn't learned, even after that "Rules" thread of his. Don't feed the trolls. *shoos floodbud back under bridge*

You are right, reason I play as aliens is beacouse I don't like to shoot with fire arms. If they had silent knife/blade/katana or what ever and cloaking I would like them lot more. ^^
being something other than human is always fun coz you can sneak behind their back and hit them silently before they can even say "peanut butter jelly time!".

Damn! Now it rings in my head.

Now I'm hungry!PBJ!!!

@whitebear: I played Relics today (by myself, unfortunately) at Risujin's server and thoroughly enjoyed it. We should play a couple rounds after we figure out when the Finns and Americans are both awake at the same time. PM me and let me know when you play. I'm Greenwich minus seven. Later.

If you guys actually read the forums you might realize that this is a spoof of someone else's thread (We demand modulation) but I'm too lazy to post a link to it, so find it yourself.

Seriously, if you guys can't take a serious from-the-beginning prank, maybe you should loosen up.  Call me a joker, but My--with a capital M--objective is to have fun.

If you didn't smoke so much calculus maybe you would think straighter.

The source of your "spoof" was the We Demand Moderation thread, you even copied the colors, nfs, big deal. When you start dissing the devs and the active modders, you can go take a flying leap.

Like I said, can't take a joke.  If you really think I was serious, then you are stupider than your name implies.  I didn't directly copy anything, it was a bona fide spoof.  I didn't dis any devs, considering this is a joke...I have as many creds as you, tightwad.  Loosen up.

And that basi belongs to you, bring it home with you next time.
