I’ve been off in my own little thread at VPU trying to perfect that silly wheel per request from Bent98 and Bodydump, and I missed all this drama. No wonder I hadn’t gotten any feedback. :(
I think CK is trying to be constructive, but he seems to have trouble understanding the types of things that set people off. Last year I got very irritated with one of my interactions with him too, and stopped contributing for quite a while myself. But after stepping away from the “scene”, taking some deep breaths, I realize his “nagging and condescending remarks” are coming from a place of wanting to make things better. In this case he says so explicitly:
“It’s definitely not disrespect and no offense meant – it’s just to make the table the best it could be!”
I don’t blame you for feeling the way that you do about him posting modded versions of your table. I hope I haven’t also offended you by posting updated scripts that utilize the new wheel code that I wrote, but I though it was just the simplest way to share what the new VPM was capable of without requiring work on your part.
I remember back when Dozer started releasing the FOM mods, I tried to as gently as possible suggest that it would be good to have an optional setting to reign in the effect to be more realistic, and lots of people jump all over me, horrified that I was somehow trashing his work (despite me repeatedly saying how awesome I thought it was). Dozer understood and seemed totally fine. But it shows that it’s sometimes REALLY hard on an Internet forum to offer up suggestions without coming off the wrong way.
I’ve had a lot of fun working on the wheel problem, so thanks for the great table. Lots will undoubtedly enjoy playing this great game thanks to your hard work. I hope, like me, you come to the conclusion not to let one person ruin it for both yourself and everyone else. But if you decide that you’re finished releasing tables for good, I can respect that too. Just know your hard work was appreciated.
