i *thought* i had a pretty good relationship with psych at one point, and i write this at the risk of whatever is left of that relationship. all of this stuff has made me rethink my relationship and dealings with many people in the future. all this right before xmas-
1) i been doing xlive 'memory based' trainers for games since halo 2 for pc. i've posted countless times regarding the xlive scanning process. i posted regarding the NEW way xlive is encrypting data for game variables in GTA. i posted that the game checks the integrity of the files for altered status and also that you cannot use other's save files, etc.
now i am looking and looking for postings regarding those facts from team extalia or team radiance but i don't see any...
so yeah, it angers me when someone posts that we stole some work from somebody else, and yet they have no postings about this game nor any proof that i have done this...
2) i've never and will never alter binary files before they are loaded into memory. we have to worry about the members and what happens to their accounts and save files, etc. whereas free, anonymous trainer postings don't have this sort of problem. show me some proof that our trainer does this? also, rick himself stated that we didn't use his method. show me some proof that our trainer is using whatever you think rick's method is. we mentioned rick because 1) he's a member of our site! and posts here! and 2) i had to deal with all of this stolen code crap from a posting on gamefaqs where someone made a sick statement about my ill father to which i felt compelled to repspond to it, which is where rick's name was first mentioned and we saw that he was a member of our site (by a different name) and 3) he states that we don't use his wrapper or methods himself! in fact, we dont' alter xlive binary (or even the memory based .dll's function) AT ALL. it still does it's scans and everything just as before. it hasn't been modified at all by my trainer. however, i think the suspicion could just as easily be possibly made when comparing rick's wrapper and the 'memory based trainer locations' that you put into YOUR trainer by others, since the timing of this trainer for fallout comes out after rick's methods are disclosed? do you like people saying that YOU stole from rick? i haven't looked at your trainer yet, but maybe someone can peer into that? have you at least tried to see what my trainer is doing? why would you post that we alter a binary file when i don't?
3) you wrote: we will never forget the way you tried to screw us and those select other scene groups. what are you talking about? how have i screwed any other groups? i never mention or badmouth any groups. i am just here doing my work, persistantly and consistently, even in the worst of times personally.
4) you posted: you complain about ripped code, and then rip it yourself-
but where's the proof i have ripped someone's code? haven't i done hundreds of trainers to this point? many, many of them i had the only trainer for it? many of them out weeks before any other trainers (and not just crap titles)? at what time does it click to you that maybe i know what i am doing and don't need to copy people's work? be honest with yourself for once. stop posing and pontificating. i have a huge body of work to point to. where's your proof of this? maybe you don't like the way i code my trainers or feel other people may have better options.... fine! the end user can decide for themselves!
it saddens me that this is how things have gotten. i'd rather have a friendly relationship with other trainer makers. i have nothing against anyone's work or what they choose to do. it's only when they start making baseless accusations or ripping our work, or WORSE trying to make softwares to crack our trainers (does that sound familiar?) directly that i become a little upset. i lost a tremendous amount of the respect i had for you and for extalia when that all came down (you know what i mean). there's no honor in coders who bash others and just write things without true accountability or confirmation. i have no idea why there is such hate. our work in no way stops you from making your own work, or 'better' trainers than ours. i think people with our talents should get paid for the long hours and hard work and you don't (for whatever reason). i realize you reading that may make you upset with me, but the evidence is pretty substantial and damning. IM PRETTY UPSET. it's hard for me to not believe it when it's there in front of me. i didn't WANT to believe it. it's like that picture of your spouse cheating on you.... is it really them? but they are RIGHT THERE IN THE PICTURE! hard to ignore it psych.
at any rate, i hope you have some proof for some of those things you wrote, or some way to explain the membership and illegal trainer postings. and if you have any honor you will retract statements that you made without such proof.
i would have stayed out of this or just ignored much of what is written about us, but people brought my sick dad into this, and also they bring up info inside their NFO's making unconfirmed statements about the literally DAYS of work that went into getting a working trainer for that game. I only wish i had 10 more options for it, which may be possible now that there appears to be ways to actually KILL xlive, but we didn't come up with that method and i am leery to screw with xlive and disable it. so for now we only have the 2 options that work with the game in it's unmodified state, unless you or someone else puts out one with xlive modifications and more options...
