I go to lunch and come back and there are 3 pages of new responses on the pages.
As far as einstein, the software engineer's analysis of the code...
I'm a systems engineer so lets look a little at the code analysis, and let's discuss the history of the project a bit. EQemu is rooted in a project called Freequest, and it began LONG before Ethernal quest. I don't have any issues with Zordon's work, I think he's done great given the box he put around the project, but other than the packet structures (which mostly come from showeq data), I highly doubt theres much in common between the 2 projects, and from what I've seen theres not.
We use linked lists so obviously we must be using their code? A high caliber software engineer like yourself must know that it's a fairly common programming construct, so how do you figure it was taken from them? Maybe you and SCO can get together and point fingers at us. I've been working with dev access for 8 months, and I can tell you that I haven't seen anyone MENTION EthQ in the coder circle, much less look at any of their code.
As far as the project taking a nose dive, the project nose dives because no one works on it, not because people dont USE it... 99.9% of the people leech onto the project and dont offer anything in return, not even a single post, so what loss is there if they stop using it?? We're not getting popularity points for people using it.
The patcher was a bad idea IMHO in the 1st place, I knew that once it was there, people would use it EXACTLY the way we told them not too, then this whole situation would occur when the patcher finally died.
And since you're such an expert on our code and EthQ's, I've noticed that you havent offered a single piece of code contribution to the project....
Thats really the 1st post thats annoyed me, because it's so blantently rooted in ignorance.
[quote]And some of you that release your programs putting your name on it and claiming you created it, or even source files, grow up and learn to program. Stop claiming others work as your own
