Austrian OOB, old and new

[Siddhi]

AMX: thanks for the input

Andy, the reason we are doing it this way is not only for ease of communication but also to be open to other contributions, both in terms of SPMBT gameplay as well as accuracy- which is what I understand is the core idea of this forum, i.e. "the WinSPMBT community"

This is also not "someone’s OOB project" (although Plasmakrab will use it for his mod) but an attempt to be able to provide you (the developers) with a more accurate OOB and therefore a more enjoyable game. Notice nobody is talking about modding rifle values etc but OOBs, as has been done repeatedly in other threads.

In effect this is a for-free service provided for your fans to help develop your product. I was under the impression that such contributions were welcome - I would personally would not invest the time unless I believed that at least in principle CammoWorkshop (and therefore Shrapnelgames)would be interested in adopting this.

If instead you are worried about security implications; all information is, in effect, public. There are NO security implications - I am actually a bona fida working member of a national security institution and you can be sure I would not post information that I have even with the slightest of doubts as to classification. The only thing I worry about is the amount of office time I have invested in this.

If there are other reasons why our activity here is unwelcome it would be nice if you could tell us why.

Otherwise I have a difficulty understanding why such enthusiasm on part of your community is unwelcome on your forums - if Tim Brooks has no interest in our passion for this then clearly I've gotten something wrong and all of this has been just been a waste of time.

Contributions are fine, but these fora are for completed OOB projects.

We do not do on-line OOB development here - that you can do offline amongst yourselves. Space is not limitless, and we really have absolutely no need for every incrementally modified OOB file and detailed discussion document between yourselves in these support forums. Please take that to email between yourselves (there is a PM system for you all to swap emails etc.).

By all means - whenever you have a finished OOB to post, do so. Some of the other user community might be interested.

Cheers
Andy

If "space" is really the issue, would it be sufficent not to upload any files until there is a finished product? Hard to imagine text taking up that much space - there is little activity on these forums anyway. PM and email both have the disadvantage of not allowing contributions from outside the group, and these already have been useful.

You have been told what these forums are for, several times - please abide by that. I'm not going into a circular argument here.
