Seeing as how he disappeared the same day Kim Jong-Il did, that's unlikely. We all know trickster was Jong-Il, the empires mod guy is probably one of the ponies or FN.
That sucks, I was interested in looking at the armor, and research code In reference to Cryengine3, I wanted to try the new vehicle tutorial for Cryengine3 seemed easy enough, but there is no easy way to get models exported from blender to Cryengine3 only 3ds max, and Maya. http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/COMMUNITY/3dsMax+Vehicle+Export+and+Setup I did all of the separation for the original model in Blender and then exported them as a .fbx file. Could not find a the apc texture, so I assumed it was the afv's texture. Hopefully someone else has better luck than I getting the files into Cryengine3 Would be nice if someone could PM me how they got it to work if they do http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14614173/imp_apc.fbx http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14614173/imp_afv.tga
Where's the difference? I started portraying the following people as one shitfest of collaborating douchebacks quite a while ago: Melarion, FN, Ponies, Paradox, "thebigtheef", ...
FN isn't really a douchebag. An idiot maybe, but I don't mind him. Sometimes he even makes good points. Sometimes.
If your guess as to who was behind it was "noodle", then you were correct. I setup a new group incorrectly to deal with all of the chinese spammers we were getting. Instead of limiting a user's privileges, it gave them access to the entire forum. So this random guy who registered got put in this new group and could see the dev forum, and he ended up able to do what he did because of my mistake. The issue is now fixed. Sorry to let you down. I doubt anyone even knew who the guy was.
That's really really disappointing that a single person got accidental access to our dev forums, and completely abused that. I would have thought maybe some minor mischief and crap, but his behaviour is just disgusting. I don't welcome anyone who'd do that given the opportunity into this community. Good riddance.
Moreso if some of the other issues are from people who saw the details on Facebook and then decided to have their own fun.
I'm curious: How hard is it to totally get rid of a person on Facebook? When I saw him first I couldn't find a propper report feature.
and what about twitter? cause to my intelligence, trickster is now giving handjobs on new years. He may only be followed by Jekotia, Aeoneth and eth0, but still, it's like there.
