netrex, as well as anyone else who is having technical difficulties, due to the webserver being hammered (and therefore the forums are effectively down), those of us on IRC would be glad to help you through your problem.

We're on irc.gamesurge.net, #dystopia is the main channel, while #dystopia-help might be able to help you further (and dodge the spammage in the main channel right now).

TheBlackrose - - 2 comments @ Surviving Next-Gen Modding

"Don't you think your time is better served doing something constructive like getting a new release out rather than wasting time belabouring a point. That's the job of the Mode Leader and the PR guy, if you wanna prove that your Dev Team is well managed and has an effective approach to Modding then leave the PR to them."

1.) You've had two of the mod leaders here (Fuzzy and Teddy), as well as the mapping team lead (termi) come here to debunk this. If Caliban showed his head, that would make all three of management here. Everyone else is disassociated from the Dystopia team (ie. TwinCannon, U235, me), but still plays it.

Also, I'd rather that their entire team is allowed to comment, not just the fabled "PR" guy. Each and every one of the Dystopia team usually has some form of insight or knowledge of Dystopia to impart, if not solely just to shoot the ****.

2.) Part of the new release's holdback was, and could still be due to Valve's HDR/DoD:S release back in September. Since that time, valve has yet to release an updated SDK. Why exactly did you think Dys was broken for a while after it's release until the Dys team had to find a work around a few things such as the broken GUIs?

In a mod's situation, it isn't just the team's work that contributes to the game, the original game has to contribute to the game as well, hence the name "mod." If valve releases something that completely screws mods over until they can accurately track down what was changed and modify those changes for a new release, whose fault is it?
