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