new SEIV milestone reached

[tesco samoa]

Hey GP whats your goal here..... ?????

I am sorry to the community and to shrapnel but I am getting a little ticked off by what you have been doing here in these threads over the last two weeks.

Things change.... The community has already figured that out and we are all going with this. Were looking forward to SEV and at the same time were all still here at shrapnel. We are branching out and trying other games.

Please if you have a stone to grind take it up with Aaron.

SEIV is a game that is 4 years old. It has been a great success at shrapnel. It has built a community that in the long run will benifit shrapnel. I do not see those who have been here at the beginning posting away about this. Just you. A few have raised a few concerns. But we all realise that it is just a game and that Aaron wishes to try something new.

I support him on his new venture and hopefully will help him meet his goals. Cause life sucks and most people want to remind you of that every day. And the Shrapnel community is a place that is so unlike every day life where people help you and welcome you. For me and for a few others here that has become a very important fact in our lives. I am very glad I found shrapnel. It has helped me through some troubled times in my life. I have helped some through their lives.. I have also seen people leave here but were still friends and we carry on supporting each other.

Yea its long winded. But hey I have thought long about this post and then written it in 4 minutes

Just let it go and look forward to the 101st

I can confirm that SEIV Deluxe will just be the latest version of SEIV with the extras included on the Gold CD. I do not believe that Aaron was planning on getting updates or anything...

*sigh* I guess the name change must be because Shrap sold the SEIV Gold edition. Couldnt be named the same. Oh well it will still let me continue getting people to get it.

Well you could still do an update CD yourselves. Get a CafePress shop and attach it to PBW, upload an iso image, its available right away to be cut&shipped for each order individually. It could stay the base price of 4.99 or be set at some other price (5.99, 7.99, 9.99) with the profits going to PBW. I think it would be a great idea.

Add manuals, tshirts, a mug with the keypresses on it. Whatever

Gandalf, when you say make an 'Update CD' what are you talking about? If you mean make a CD of SE4:Gold patched up to v1.91 then in effect you are blatantly using Cafe Press to 'Pirate' SE4:Gold, Saying the profits go to PBW is just setting them up for the fall.

..If on the other hand you mean make a compilation of the latest editions of the various mods, well, that's different,.. you would still need to get permission from all the mod builders to include their mod on such a compilation. In this light it could very well be an interesting proposal.

So, which of these two did you mean?

Cheers!

P.S. I just thought your post was a bit 'ill-written' to have undertones of piracy even if that was not your intent.

[Gandalf Parker]

Oh no! Im quite paladin on the subject of pirating and I often take flak on the subject from friends. Ive even recently finished catching up my shareware and freeware on registrations.

I would very much like to see an effort made to get all of the mods caught up to work with SEIV Deluxe, made easy to install, and packed onto a single add-on CD for sale to support PBW.

MODs, Races, FAQs and Manuals, tools. Maybe even some demos for the programs that come up in the "how can I make my own" questions

Gandalf, I didn't really think you were suggesting pirating, I just thought the way you worte your post was not as clear as it could be.

The Updated Mod compilation is a good idea, if Geo is lurking maybe he would be interested in doing something with your suggestion.

Cheers!

sorry, seems like lately no matter what sunny thing I post it gets read as sarcasm or poison. Making just as quick to see posts wrong I guess
