It's confusing what you are trying to point out. If its about the compression (aka the .tre file) was changed in CU/NGE then its because they ripped out the TOC file and kept it separate to increase loading speeds (So not trying to unravel it) But just want to confirm what you mean by Data File Type because it could mean a lot or a little.

Reading it your basically saying the list above is "hacks" or illegal modifying of the client. Listing it as 1. 2. etc. 1. Modifying models can have no affect what so ever in game, modifying something such as collision can. 2. Fixing bugs in the client. Yeah ok, erm good luck to whoever achieves this. 3. Eh? SWGEmuSupport.exe does that, what is list actually trying to say. 4. Possible, Laggy Yes, Need Client Modification? NO! If anyone wants to argue about it then I will happily (I seen it done lets just say that) 5. Ok thats not possible. (Guy's do not bother mentioning about /jump) 6. Nothing wrong with that. Again I'm a bit confused what the list is for, initially reading it, its a list of "bad" things which we are not allowed to do but some of it is good/fine/harmless. Yeah would like it expanded. Quote:
DavinFelth - Yeah he knows his stuff, he knows how to alter a terrain and a lot of other file types in the game. Does documentation and everything. Me (When I was on the team) - Did break down file types however I did not document it (A few I did however lost them in a wipe) but I'm very good at doing something then being able to repeat it. Valkyra - No Documentation, Is Waiting for the tool to be finished to be able to do Chandrila (Yeah its hard to make a terrain I admit that but still) but she has been doing work in coding (So shouldn't she be moved out of client developer team, which leaves 1 poor soul left) Pre-CU <--> CU <--> NGE Not too big changes, easy to work out. Some are impossible to convert (Due to how the client handles it) But I would say 85% is easy to convert and does not need any documentation (Documentation is to re-create files when needed for things which are not importable aka my pod racers) Species: These are not "unused" there NPC species (Normally have less customization options depending on how they were made). Unused Models: Yeah good luck finding these, there are probably less then 10 I would of thought. (There are files for models they were going to add but there not files which will be of any use) Unused Terrain: A lot of them testing different things. Quote:
I think thats about it.

I know you have the skills and expertise to do a LOT of different things with the client, however its that some of the methods and changes made may violate some clauses in the EULA, and thus cannot be officially supported by our Team. I hope I can clear up some confusion on this topic, as it ONLY pertains to our specific Client Development Team.

About content, so you could add planets, models, species which are not in the SOE client yet.
Will you provide tool to add this content easily ? What is about quest ? will you provide a tool could be used by members to create custom quests ? |

Okay then lets get this sorted then: Quote:
2. Impossible Anyway 3. That can not break the EULA (Note: By Resolution I'm guessing screen size) 4. Does not need client modification at all, so that should not be on the list (I do not want to "name drop") 5. Impossible Anyway 6. Adding new textures should be fine if you redirect the shaders i suppose. So why are 3. 4. and 6. on the list. (I would not mind having an exact number/Paragraph to the SOE EULA)

Sorry for my limited english, but I didn't understand about the rules...
To resume, I have 1 account (forum/swgemu) and 2 characters. Could I play with those 2 characters at the same time ? And about AFK, ATK rules... well, it could be fine to clarify this with little sentences (may be with example) and think about people who don't speak english very good.

You have multiple in-game characters associated with the account "Nazoreen". You can have as many as you wish. You can only play two of those characters at the same time. Two clients connected to TC Nova at one time. Approved AFK: Artisan sampling or an Entertainer dancing. Frowned on but Accepted AFK: One combat character AFK killing newbie mobs around a city. Do not chose to AFK grind on mobs that in the city or too close to the city. Forbidden AFK: One Character grinding combat XP and another character assisting or helping/following along on macro that helps to increase total damage done. This includes a TKM with an AFK pisotleer following along. Forbidden AFK: Any character combat AFK or AFK support in a cave, major building or named spawn such as the DWB. An example is an ATK TKM with a AFK doctor following along on macro at the Krayt Dragon Graveyard. Another example is AFK combat by a single character at Nyax. Another example, that some remember from live, is AFK spam looting locked containers in some of the higher end caves for skill tapes.

What do you define as "too close to the city?" Considering that most newbie spawns are 100m or less from the city, the statement about AFK combat grinding "too close to the city" with relation to newbie spawns like Meatlumps seems empty.

This is the SWGEmu general definition worded in laymens terms of how our team will handle client modifications and what they wish to responsible for. We might in the future choose to review modifications and developments on a case by case basis to determine if they are allowed on the nextwork at some future time. At this point in time, we have taken a conservative stance and made these decisions to protect this community and game. This seems to be turning into some sort of discussion about what we can or can't do, what is possible or impossible, should we or shouldn't we. I am not understanding your point in this conversation. Again, this was a general statement written so most of our community can relate without speaking code-ese, digging through legal issues and whatnot. This statement was not meant to be a technical discussion of why or why not this policy fits the EULA. While I respect your considerable skill and the points you are bringing up, I think you are starting to create confusion again about what is allowed and what is not. Please clarify what you are wanting out of this discussion.

LD Stated the list was made from using the SOE EULA saying What is not possible/Allowed for them to do. I was just asking why those points (3. 4. and 6.) were against the EULA Edit: The Impossible Stuff was outlining what was Impossible so there is no point in adding that rule (If you understand what I mean)

1. AFK grinding on the faction NPCs that are located inside the city such as Bestine where you use to see imperial NPCs next to the starport. Killing them is fine, grinding them is fine as long as you are ATK. 2. Standing next to that main egress point out of the city near Coronet Starport AFK grinding meatlumps. Sometimes the spawns are practically on top of the pavement and AFKers position themselves almost between the two posts near the starport. This is more about prevention than to be mean. Jedi sometimes load in and must sprint to escape Boba. They will sometimes have to sprint in that direction to make for the open land. If you are too close to that area you might target them. If you hit them, they can and sometimes will hit back. This leads to QQing in #swgemusupport. Suggestion is, if you AFK grind, do not do it near doorways or main thoroughfares. Make sure there is plenty, plenty of space around your character. 3. Exception would be the triangular stretch of land with trees in Theed. It is found between the hotel (across from the starport) and the river. This is deliberately set aside as a newbie spawn area for Naboo. Other GMs will have either more strict or more lenient interpretations. However, that is a good general guideline. Quote:
Also, that list is there not because an item on there is possible or impossible. It is because someone who does not know anything about client modification, coding, or adding content has asked about something similar to be added. This wasn't written for uber developers, it was written for average-joe, non-coder out there to understand.
