Azander has joined #spacedock
<Thomas>
VITAS: yay, got the "Ordering pizza..." loading tip :D
Olympic1|Nomz is now known as Olympic1
<VITAS>
in?
<VITAS>
speaking of loading: if altering the adressbar url via js is a thing it would be nice to investigate soem sort of intelligent prefetching
<Thomas>
VITAS: SpaceLink.dll + KSP
<VITAS>
maybe even based on other users, last visits of that user,device, -....
<VITAS>
ahh
<VITAS>
you should make a version ofr other mods to include
<Thomas>
I made one :P Just include the dll
<VITAS>
so it can be spread by mod authors wanting to spread spacedock over curse
<VITAS>
include in the file or include as in programming?
<Thomas>
Just put the dll in their distribution zip
<Thomas>
or maybe even include the cs file directly in their dll, if they want that
<VITAS>
hmm how do we specificly address mod authors?
<VITAS>
we cant put that into the ksp forums
<VITAS>
noone realy reads kspmodders
<Thomas>
Why cant we put it into the ksp forums?
<VITAS>
spacedock is more for endusers (i will post it there but adress users)
<VITAS>
because squad has a contract with curse
<Thomas>
VITAS: Following that logic, they would have banned us from the forums completely
<VITAS>
and i dont want them to have to decide if they tollerate that or delete the thread
<VITAS>
because they will remove it else they surly get problems with curse
<VITAS>
no because we arent endoresed by squad
<Thomas>
Yeah, but sooner or later it will end up on the forums anyway
<VITAS>
and we dont change any contract relevant things
<VITAS>
maybe but it will be removed im quite sure
<Thomas>
when the first one cries "did squad officially switched to spacedock?!?!"
<VITAS>
because im certain that the link is part of the contract
<Thomas>
Yes, but they will know the mod was made by us
<Thomas>
So thats the same result
<VITAS>
yes
<VITAS>
but the same way i can publish stuff on sd without squad making problems
<VITAS>
and having problems if i would do the same on the forums
<VITAS>
i can post it on sd but not on the forums
<VITAS>
they cant censore what isnt theirs but they can enforce their will on their platform
<VITAS>
im sure curse will ask them: whats that and please remove
<VITAS>
and i dont want them in that situation :)
<VITAS>
thats why i want to use ways to publish this without the forums help
<VITAS>
we could put it on SD make a description section for users and bekow one for devs
<VITAS>
and i can feature it
<Thomas>
You can do what you want with it :)
* Thomas
gave away the rights
<RockyTV>
is SpaceLink against SQUAD's rules?
<VITAS>
btw css doesnt load on my desktop most of the times :/
<RockyTV>
because if not maybe DMP could ship it :)
<Thomas>
RockyTV: Not against their rules, but its very likely that it is against their contract with curse
<RockyTV>
would they ask it to be removed?
<VITAS>
hmm i dont se why it is but it could cause curse to call them
<Thomas>
Hmm, actually, I should read what the eula says
<RockyTV>
pretty sure the old dev team would allow it
<VITAS>
i would publish it first and if darklight is ok with it you can include it a week later
<RockyTV>
"delayed april fools"
<VITAS>
not april fools because im serious
<Thomas>
k, EULA says nothing about this, so we would be safe
<VITAS>
if new players are directed to curse to only find old versions of mods at best it isnt a great advertisement for the modding community and the mod authors whos old versions are there
<VITAS>
and it could give spacedock more traffic
<VITAS>
(not that i need it but hey i enjoy watching bandwith and traffic graphs)
<Thomas>
Actually, the addon rules on the forums dont forbid it, so squad couldnt harm us if we posted it there :)
<Thomas>
But I get what you meant with curse
<VITAS>
yes but i dont want to cause a potentioly problematic situation
<VITAS>
yes
<VITAS>
im even prepared to pull the plug on that mod in general if good reasons are presentet to me by squad
<VITAS>
also cant creat mods because sd css isnt loading
<VITAS>
and maybe js isnt too
<VITAS>
getting 403?
<VITAS>
strange
<Thomas>
Its loading for me
<VITAS>
yes i might have blocked something or messed up routing
* VITAS
has vpns to the server and tests site blocking with his ip so there can be something left
<VITAS>
deny from .pppoe.wtnet.de <- :D
<VITAS>
aha
<VITAS>
better
<VITAS>
and wow does the css and js make loading slow
<VITAS>
what was the license name?
<VITAS>
and did you make a newer versiona fter including the license?
<Thomas>
VITAS: I reuploaded the zip file with the license included
<Thomas>
The license name is WTFPL
<Thomas>
(I can change it to MIT if you dont like the idea of throwing away all copyright and rights)
<VITAS>
its your code
<VITAS>
only concern is: someone might change the link to some problematic site and redistribute that under the same name
<Thomas>
Yeah, but we cant prevent that, if we want that other modders redist it
<VITAS>
yes but cant we do something like: you have to rename the file, ingame menu name and the modname if you change the link?
<Thomas>
Ingame menu name?
<VITAS>
if thats possible
<Thomas>
There isnt even an ingame menu
<VITAS>
there is the mods link
<Thomas>
Anyway, a self written license is something I dont really like
<Thomas>
VITAS: Ah, yeah
<VITAS>
hmm ok i fear the russians and vieatnamese
<VITAS>
but they dont care about licenses and law
<VITAS>
so yes
<VITAS>
useless
<VITAS>
hmm do i want the thumbnail to look official?
<Thomas>
Make it a comic pizza
<VITAS>
can you write something up i can put into the description?
<Thomas>
"Mod that redirects the Addons & Mods Link in the main menu to SpaceDock. If you like SpaceDock and want to spread it further, feel free to include and distribute this plugin in your own mod"
<VITAS>
how to install?
<Thomas>
"Copy the .dll file into the GameData folder"
* VITAS
tries to convince his computer that drag&drop realy is a thing
