Actually, I've heard that there is some method of doing that in SCBW  But at the moment we'll be requiring use of the launcher to play on the server.No progress update because the last few weeks have been pretty hectic for me with university assignments particularly, but soon I will be able to start work on the server again. | ||

I guess we can make exceptions that way | ||

He is doing this whole thing in his free time and he has to decide how he spends his free time. As long as you don't present something that you have contributed this large to the BW community in no-time, you better should be quiet. OT: Nice Birdie. Still some work ahead, but I am sure you will be finished soon. Thank you again for doing this | ||

Thank you again for doing this To be fair, I could work harder on the server than I have been; my motivation waxes and wanes somewhat, but I'm definitely working hard on it this week as I have some time off. | ||

I don't want to be a cynic, but we have seen no screenshots, no codes, no actual updates other than text. I'm sorry Birdie, but the way you are currently heading with your project even if it gets released NOBODY will play it. I'm sorry, but you guys have managed to garner absolutely no hype for your server, which 99% of the time means doom for the project. I've said this like 9 months ago when you guys started this, but here I go again; It's of almost no relevance when you release the server to the public, marketing it with your less than phenomenal resources is the limiting factor, you can release the most amazingly coded Brood War server on the planet and it'll still end up as a colossal failure if it has no support behind it. | ||

Even if the server fails or doesn't get completed, it in no way affected anyone's daily life so just calm your tits and let the man work on his project as he wishes. while I agree with what you wrote, I get the feeling that he wants the server to be a success so that their hardwork is acknowledged and BW gets a boost from it which is why his post seems pretty harsh. Either way, best to just wait and spread the word about the server once it's like 90% done and they have pics and such. | ||
