I will not leave this alone. You are publicly accusing me of stealing your code.

And as far as harrasing you, I have not. I have sent you a few emails asking questions about your portals. You are harrasing me by posting false information and insulting me. If you have a problem with me, keep it personal and email me, don't publicly denounce me on the forums for false accusations.

"Why would you think it was you?" - I mentioned my name because this is about me...


Since this has now become personal attacks and will be closed, I'd like to post my last statement that have not, and nor will I ever, plagerize anyones code. I write my own code and do my own work...

Here is an excerpt from one of your PMs that remains on Conitecs server,
Along with other where you tell me names you have fished out of my code!


I was actually going through your demo's resource file, trying to convert the bits of code back to c-script. While I did get a good bit converted, it wasn't enough. However, I relized the secret. Your shader. It's a simple one, but I'm missing the lines that convert from texture space to screen space. I spent about 3 hours on it. lol, I can include your resource file into my script, and use the shader, but I need the shader to use mtlSkin1, not entSkin1.



"I was actually going through your demo's resource file, trying to convert the

This is called stealing intellectual property.


I relized the secret. Your shader
And you didnt steal this "secret" either huh? You knew it all along?

but I'm missing the lines that convert from texture space to screen space.
But you were able to steal the rest from my code though huh ...


lol, I can include your resource file into my script, and use the shader,
Or you could just do your own work.


I stand by "Piece of Crap" (And thats with a big "C").

My code I am currently using is more advanced and correct than yours. I'd post it if I didn't have plans for selling it.

While I did go through your resource file, trying to figure this out for my own knowledge, I did not get anything from it, other than the fact that you used a shader.

Then I included the resource file into my project and applied that material to my model, and saw how it worked. I then figured out how to write the shader myself. If I could have taken it from your resource file, then I wouldn't have posted a thread in the forums asking for help... (Shaders: TexToScreen space)

My viewing through code is much different than yours. I know this because you just posted your source files in the UC. Mine is not even working correctly yet.

I havn't seen your teleporting code, but from the demo mine appears to be much better. I have my own trace frunction the offsets and rotates the final vector so seemless transitions can occur.

BTW: [censor]F*ck you you motherf*cking piece of sh*t[/censor]. I did not steal your code. All progress on my portal tech is from my own hard work/research/and time. You have no right to publicly state false information about me without my consent.

It semms to be, that our Josiah is a bit suprised of the fact that somebody can reproduce his techniques. It is no crime to create a game with simillar functionality like yours. You have no coppyright onto the portals, or have you?
I think xxxguitar only meens, that he looks onto your code to become inspiration.
This whole discussion is foolish and not consturctive. Nobody can proove a robbery of your mental ownership Josiah.
I like your demo, but you have to deal with the fact, that somebody can recreate the techniques or improves it.

p.s.: I like threads like that and i like to argue!

Think his pm sounded a little sarcastic, but don't think it was meant in a bad way. Sure if someone works hard on creating a working demo it might be mistaken by the author when another developer sends a message saying: Hey can you explain the function otherwise I just 'reverse engineer' use the resource you've put online.

Also it is very true and he has helped a lot of people on the forum with their code problems. I understand the moderator get in here when things get out of hand, but in his reaction I can see he didn't meant it wrong. Yes there are very much people who try to figure out how something is done, but not to steal your work. If I ever put a demo online I hope it will be reverse engineered, because in my eyes this just means I have done something good

I'm stopping this thread before somebody sues somebody else for libel.
