Ah, yep, the very "nice" sentence of 21st century : If you're not
satisfied, go away or do better...!!!

Some Braindead reflexion...

WHY is there so many people in a project ?

Let me (short) answer for you : some have ideas, some know how to
program.


I am NOT a programmer.

Is that a "good enough" reason for not having ideas or complaints...??

 .at = Austria, right... ?



> Remember that back then,


Back  * WHEN *  ???

TTo and TTd are DOS softwares (I suppose you know that already...)

I used DOS softwares over a network in 1987, with Concurrent PC-DOS,
and, after that, with other "DOS-networking" software such as Concurrent
DOS 386.

Were you born, in 1987 ?



> multiplayer over a network


A  "Network"...???

Two computers tied together with a lousy rs-232 or // connection is
a.... "network"...????

Better would have been not to do it , then...!!!

Instead of doing things wrong, it's better not to do it, and wait for
them to be 100 % perfect before launching them...


BY THE WAY, it's so long time from TTo realease that it left enough
time-room for improvement(s)...!!!

Yes, of course.

But pls read my post from start till the end.

Problem is NOT to ask them to "play fairly". Problem is that I HAVE TO
ask them.

THE GAME, by itself , is totally badly done. Period.

You haven't read it, then...


> How would it be better ?
> I mean, how would you implement such a cheating block ?

I gave the idea in the post.

There are at least 7 to 10 people that are making patches for TTo or
TTd.

They take my idea(s) and make the patch.

Still need some more "constructive criticism"...???



> Very nice, everybody can go around shouting "that game sucks",


I think there are not too many that complaint about that...

Satisifed with mediocre software... : ????

Shut uip yourself : the idea (one of them at least) was in the post.

Lear to read before you answer...

(Timestamps between my post and yours just prove you don't even took
time to read ALL my post...)

Just one suggestion : Have you *ever* think that I was not waiting at
the counter of a computer shop, just waiting for the release of that
game...????

I just discovered it lately.

Is THAT a problem...???

It is NEVER too late to say "hey, something goes wrong".

Yep, for sure.

Same kind of "pure quality" argument as in the beginning : "you're not
satisfied ?  --  shut up and go away".


Jorg Heider's ravages, for sure...


Open your mind boy.
