| Hello, and nice to see you here at a genuine 'rebel' FREE IL2 | |
| Modding. | |
| First things first: | |
| We are primarily an OFFLINE modding site. True, some of our mods | |
| 'may' or 'may NOT' work online, but whether they do or do not is | |
| not our main thrust nor concern. We are concerned only with | |
| OFFLINE modding first and foremost. However, we abhor game | |
| cheaters of all types and consider them sorry and worthless. So | |
| if someone is brought to our attention as being a game cheater, | |
| we will look into it (for our on-line brothers) and take the | |
| proper action ASAP. So cheaters or would-be cheaters thinking to | |
| come here to better their online games with our mods---be | |
| WARNED! | |
| Our aim is to help IL2 modders, mod. It's as simple as that. No | |
| power-struggling, no schemes, no back-stabbing, no warring with | |
| other sites or other site admin/modders, no tricks and no lies, | |
| no under-handed deals, no controlling of the game or what you | |
| mod, no 'thinking for you', no holier than thou attitudes that | |
| decide 'who' can mod and 'who' cannot, and certainly no hidden | |
| agenda nor dreams of glory/power. No, none of any of that | |
| bullshite. | |
| If you really want to create mods for IL2, we'll be glad to lend | |
| a hand as we can. However, the catch is that 8 out of 10 | |
| 'would-be' IL2 modders never create a single mod. Now why is | |
| that? Simple, to be a real modder of IL2 (as in any other thing) | |
| requires study, hard work, self-control, dedication, and most of | |
| all TIME. simply put, 8 out of 10 would-be modders will fail at | |
| one or multiples of those reasons and simply will NOT create a | |
| worthwhile mod, or any mod for that matter. | |
| Everyone thinks they can or want to mod, few will actually do it | |
| (for the reasons listed above.) | |
| Many think modding is easy, fast, and that there is some small, | |
| well-kept secret that once revealed will enable them to churn | |
| out hot mods by the barrel full. And they are completely wrong. | |
| Many mod or try to mod, for the wrong reason (s) i.e. fame, | |
| attaboys, bragging rights, popularity, etc. None of that will | |
| work. For if you are of that mindset you will clearly FAIL in | |
| one or more of the above listed reasons and will produce either | |
| nothing (due to your failure) or your quick mods will be only | |
| turn out to be junk that nobody will want to use after they see | |
| the truth of it. Trust me, that is the way of it. You that do | |
| not see this will certainly see it shortly. LOL! | |
| However, if you mod 'for the good' of the community, and treat | |
| the community that you mod for with kindness, civility and | |
| respect, things 'should' eventually work out for you if you're | |
| willing to put in the effort and do the time. | |
| We're a small, REBEL modding site, and there will be many in the | |
| more mainstream modding community that will probably hate us, | |
| attack us, try to cause problems for us. All I can say to that | |
| is simply to ignore them. Sticks and stones and all that | |
| rubbish. You can only give those sorts power by listening to | |
| their blathering and becoming involved in it. If you ignore them | |
| and continue on with YOUR business, and the business of THIS | |
| site (FREE MINDED MODDING OF IL2) then you'll see that their | |
| power is nothing. By 'not' letting them pull you down to their | |
| level you'll be above them in every way and eventually their | |
| arse will overload their mouths and they'll dry up and blow | |
| away. | |
| They will raise a hue and cry about how IL2 will now be doomed, | |
| and online playing will be doomed and ONLY 'their' control over | |
| modding has saved it so far and every one of those words is a | |
| lie and they know it. | |
| The plain truth is that 'cheaters' have been cheating in IL2 | |
| online games for years. LOL! Cheaters knew 'how' to mod before | |
| non-cheaters did, and that's the honest truth of the matter. And | |
| they've continued to mod 'and' cheat more honest people all this | |
| time. And cheaters are just like that, they cheat. And there's | |
| just nothing that can be done for it. | |
| Will allowing 'more' people to know how to mod create 'more' | |
| cheaters than there already is? | |
| NO! Certainly not. After all, keep in mind that the majority of | |
| the players and users of this ten year plus old game are | |
| actually 'honest' folk who have NO intention of cheating. Sure, | |
| no doubt an occasional fool might take the knowledge gained here | |
| to try and cheat online...however, please explain how that is | |
| ANY different from the 'hoards' of friends, buddies, VIP's, and | |
| buddies of VIP's that have been given modding knowledge or | |
| access to modding knowledge already? | |
| Are ALL of those people perfect without nary a cheater in the | |
| whole bunch of them? | |
| Ha! | |
| Get real! | |
| Of course some of them have used their knowledge to cheat, but | |
| even thus has the game vanished? Have people quit playing online | |
| because of it? | |
| Nope! | |
| So clearly you see the problems. But let's let that all go, for | |
| this is a new site, a new day, and a new age. | |
| Now, enough of that and on to the site rules here: | |
| Main Rule Number ONE: | |
| Treat everyone that comes here with dignity, civility and | |
| respect. If there is someone that does not adhere to this, our | |
| ADMINS will handle it soon enough. | |
| Main Rule Number TWO: | |
| No site hackers! No site spammers! No personal attacks! No | |
| attacking or degrading other sites! No open unchecked porno or | |
| profanity. Sure, I cuss like a sailor myself and sometimes use | |
| common, everyday type foul language, lol, however that is NOT | |
| the same as cussing a blue streak with eff this and eff that | |
| REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS "F" words thrown about hither and yon. | |
| Control yourself (or WE will do it for you!) | |
| Main Rule Number THREE: | |
| Share your knowledge (if you have it or gain it) and be helpful | |
| to others when you can. This does not mean every Tom, Dick and | |
| Harry that comes here to BEG to have everything handed to him on | |
| a silver plate must be given what they want when they want it. | |
| However, sharing our information and lending a hand to people | |
| wanting and 'trying' to help themselves is the name of the game | |
| here. Everyone needs a hand sometimes, so remember that please. | |
| And that's it, folks. Pretty simple, eh? And yet there is no | |
| doubt that simple or not there will be unsavory, disruptive | |
| types that will come here and break every one of the above | |
| mentioned 'simple' rules, and then feel outraged when they get | |
| their sorry tails kicked right off this site. | |
| So please, don't force my hand. And all will be well. Remember, | |
| being a REBEL is cool, being a #2 arsehat is not! | |
| Thank you for your kind attention to all above. | |
| Long Live FREE modding! | |
