I didn't know who made it and I noticed there is a protection but I wasn't aware of that protecting it disallows someone to use it for loading something.

Of course the protecting itself disallows someone to use it. But me saying so does disallow others to use it.

I've passed you the list of required files.

@Alex: I'm wondering what you care about it since you're not related to DX anymore. You don't have an advantage or disadvantage anyway.. :?

Does my motive matter at all? I am the one who decides whether people may use it or not, I am not obliged to explain my reasons.

I'm sorry that a total stranger like me dares to ask you for your reasons.
Minding the fact that you cut all relations to DX, you're illiberality is quite impressive... especially related to me. :roll:

Oh, it's not related to you, really. My sincere apologies if you interpetated my response as an 'personal attack'. It's just that I've been questioned before on this matter, and it's somewhat tirering to keep having to defend myself/my motives.

Actually that was on topic, you might want to quote my rules. (I made them.)
On another related note: You do not have to warn this post.

That was me

Your game modification caused a time paradox upon me loading it, causing me to relive the same moment 490 times in a row, and in the process creating 490 copies of myself.

Due to the obvious distress involved in having to kill 490 exact copies of myself, I will be suing you for damages shortly.

None of them are a copy of the original, as they're all the original living assuming they're living the exactly same life in parallel universes where neither of them is true as they're all equal.

the rest of this is a bad post and im not going to bother coming up with the theory lol

The fact is, at the begining there were 1 universe. Each "choice" anything/one (can be atomos) did make the universe copy (with a different choice) and separate on his own way.

You may think you're the original but maybe no-one of us is the original. Maybe we're just copies.
Now a time paradox occurs when 2 universe are too close to each other. micro-wormholes are forming everywhere and temp-merge the universe.

In your case, the 490 corpses are coming from some universes where the sun imploded. Making a big wormhole and "copies" arrived in here like they could have arrived in any other universe.
If we did not all receive "copies" that could be because
1 - everyone is dead (in others universes)
2 - they went into the wormhole and died
3 - they went into the wormhole and arrived in another universe than ours.

Afther this, all get back to normal until next time.

On a serious note:

You should not listen to Alex, despite him saying saying his motives he and all of us here have cracked many modifications. He's a hypocrite especially when you consider one of the hidden forums on DXALPHA, it's alright to do it in his head if it doesn't involve his own stuff.

On a side note:

One of the worst things the modding community have have done (and you Nobody) in Deus Ex (compared to other games) was to protect the source of modifications, keeping them open sourced would have helped a lot of people learn, I understand why you wouldn't want bastard plagiarisms of the works you've all created but the only excuse you've had for this are the anti cheating mods. Most good ideas are discovered and created when using the foundation of others and this logic applies for modding videogames. Besides there's a copyright for that exact use, but keeping mod's source blocked is a little arbitrary strict. Our small community wasn't an excuse, we had more chances to detect these plagiarisms without protection to know who the original author is and you stagnated plenty of people for learning through open examples.

Another side note:

Did we ever get permission from Smuggler?

So James, you suggest I release the sourcecode of the latest MMAdvBan then? The one that allows the serverhoster to execute any .DLL on the client's computer?

Also, what is this hidden forum you speak of? Do you mean the 'Scripting Society'? The forum where I released sources of some of my own modifications?

I mentioned anti cheating, please read ahead.

That isn't the hidden forum I wanted to mention, and besides mentioning the scripting society only supports my stagnation argument.

End of discussion, James rolls.

MMAdvBan isn't anticheating, and please, PM me the name of the hidden forum, because I cannot think of any other forum where we shared sources of modications.

Security is security, there's no modification cracking forum but there was quite a beast of a forum full of pirated or not works which myself has contributed to which you were very aware of.
