Oh, nevermind then. And this also answers my question as to why some of that art looks weird and I can't figure out what 3D technique they were using to make the art back then, answer: they weren't.

Let's try this one more time: I can only give away what is mine. Chuck wants the base models, not the 17 cargo and ship upgrades I made. I don't own the bases. Chuck won't do the renders except in exchange for the bases. So as I said, that concludes my business with Chuck.

Not just you but the PGG team as a whole.Turbo wrote:Are you talking to me?
Well that's different. Perhaps you want to share the cargo / ship upgrades? That's up to you. If you want to, why not just do it, rather than posturing that you could do it? Or will you only exchange stuff? I bet things would move faster for both projects if everybody stopped trying to exchange and just said, "here is my stuff." PGG was always closed and used the open efforts of others, causing this chaos in the first place - which is why I say the impetus is on the PGG devs to share, but everybody will have their own opinion.Turbo wrote:Let's try this one more time: I can only give away what is mine.

Just make the base meshes into base plans and the source code into secret government codes.

If we would take away artists their free choice under which license they contribute stuff, a game like this would never reach it's goals.charlieg wrote: What I said still applies to the other GG devs though. Closed development of a fork of an open source project is just out of order in my book.
Probably just a misunderstanding; I suppose that's why Dilloh was asking you for a list of your contributors, so there would be no more misunderstandings, but I could be wrong.Turbo wrote:... I'm not John, and he's not happy that I am sharing the renders I did.
I would argue the converse is true.John Cordell wrote:If we would take away artists their free choice under which license they contribute stuff, a game like this would never reach it's goals.
And, it is why I couldn't pay the price you wanted, generous or not. I simply don't know who all the artists are, or who did what.chuck_starchaser wrote: I suppose that's why Dilloh was asking you for a list of your contributors
Did Dilloh joke about that? I didn't catch it. I came up with the theory myself, and was quite serious about it. After Orthuberra was approached behind our backs, I got stiff neck from looking over my shoulder. Anyways, there had been pressure building up for years, and you happened to pop in at the time of the explosion. Sorry about that. Looks like the flames are under control now. Keep up the good work, whoever you'll work for. Speaking just for myself, though, I'd rather not have contributors working for both sides. From a purely esthetical POV, I don't see the point having multiple mods that look and feel almost identical. What's the point?Turbo wrote:I'm surprised you guys took Dilloh's joke about me being an alt-nick for John seriously.
I never stated that Turbo is or was an alias from John. A misunderstanding, I guess.Did Dilloh joke about that?
