Freelancer Continuum - Taken
-
You seem to be very focused on me doing the decisions at SWAT without asking every single member before (not that there is a single community where this is done different).
Well, Continuum was a Community mod. That means the work was done by the community… not only by you. Have you even cared to asked the community if you are allowed to remove the content from there? Have you gotten the permission from the other people that contributed?
No?
Well, I guess you have just done a decision to take the mod then.Look into the mirror Silviu.
PS. How should I have removed anything? and why?
I received your message shortly after it was written (2 hours after) and at this point the page was already transfered. Next to that there was not even the request to remove anything. -
Last time I remember right, only I contributed since the majority of the actual work that exists is done entirely by me. For 3 years, no community effort was done for Continuum. I waited for that promise, even asked you about on the SWAT Portal, but nothing happened.
So far I didn’t received any complaints from any of the community members you speak of, even those who were “contributing” more or less, never said a word about it. I don’t private anyone from this, but I decided that after all, it would be best if it would be an independent development team as it was in the first place.
-
no work was done by others? Well then you apparently dont have all the work on your hdd.
-
… mod profile, mod website, forum, 4 playable systems with working map transitions, AI, interface, multiplayer, particle effects, physics, targeting system, docking sequences (eventhough i have to admit that the bases were not working yet) and of course graphical work.
Putting this aside there are 38 contributions to the lore that were not done by you (which is btw. the majority of the lore that was published for the work on the mod). There also was conceptional work on possible system layouts, economy, roleplay, equipment and ships.
Your official contributions to these topics were minimal (and in the past 3 years non-existent).That I also convinced a good amount of modders to offer their help with the project apparently also is forgotten.
To tell us that you have done all the work that you have all the work on your HDD is simply not true. Which brings me back to my previous statement: it was a community project and at no point of time you had the right to do what you did with it this week. Period!
-
I know what I have on my HDD and I kept the track of what and who contributed. The system editing, the graphical assets were done by the Continuum mod members 3 years ago. Even some of the lore that was considered to be added. The “community” as you like to tell it, did nothing in the last 3 years. If they were I would’ve known for sure since I checked on a regular basis the swat forums. What I done so far with some other fellas was originally saved. The other content which was stored on your variant of lancer’s reactor was just for ideas. There was nothing determined, and since all the others left, I remained to ponder and think about new ideas for it.
And again in 3 years things can surely change, Continuum is not a community mod anymore, that idea dropped a long time ago when actually nothing was created after the continuum dev team members left.
I am not gonna continue to argue with you because again it’s worthless. People contacted me to work on this with them again and this is what will happen.
-
So you have kept us working on “our” variant to collect ideas for “your” variant? Its getting better and better.
Btw. who decided that its no community mod anymore? You?
(maybe i should be glad that the news about such a decision didnt reach me 3 days prior the release)
At this point i also like to mention that your work on this project is just like the written lore (written by the other devs) also older than 3 years and since that absolutely nothing new was published anywhere.You make claims here that are so far away from reality, you’ve made good amount of statements which are conflicting with each others and in the end it meanwhile also looks like you have been trying to fool us the entire time.
Fact is you didnt do all the work.
Fact is you didnt have the right to make a decision about a community mod.
Fact is you have hijacked the Continuum project while actually intending to work on your “SpaceLancer”.
Fact is you dont have all the done work on your HDD… all you have is a few stories and a few unfinished 3d models.All this mess looks to me like you just intended to cause troubles to us. If so, you succeeded…if not, you clearly did something wrong this week.
Whatever your reasons behind your actions were you didnt waste a single second to think about the wishes and expectations of the community members, the players, the watchers at moddb and all the other people that were hoping for more than 3 years that Continuum would be the sequel to Crossfire, created by the dev team of the SWAT Portal. Maybe you are perfectly good at ignoring all the comments of the people at that mod profile which were stating exactly this. -
Fact is, you are again trying to prove that I’m wrong while using words and phrases. While the facts are all on me.
The expectations of the moddb and all other players are still the same, they want to see the uniqueness of the mod design I showed. They care less by who is done.
And yes I have all the rights to get my mod “back”. It lasted for 3 years in a dormant state. Don’t be hypocrite enough and say people worked on it or you where right to it.
There are no stories or “unfinished models”. The models are actually quite finished and under analysis by some other people, they are very good to be implemented. Again since, in essence I created the idea of this mod and still do, I can do whatever I wish with it. And it’s not your right I guess to dictate that I have no rights over my work. Don’t play the victim again and rather work on Crossfire. I guess the community on moddb is still having “expectations”.
This was my last response towards you, because you cannot understand the whole image, you exagerate with your claims and cannot be reasoned with you.

Guys I’m not new here so I have the right to make this comment.
You have a dispute over a project, which has happened in other cases before too.
What such a public fuss does is defame the project, so people will be less interested in it.
Think it over.
-
you are right about that… such an issue should have been dealt with in a more civilized way in first place instead of starting it here
unfortunately by now this project is gone
