Kirby you really need to have an attitude adjustment; you won't get any where in life being so beligerant. I'm doing this as a favour and out of my own time so I don't know why you are getting so upset. That being said, I do encourage constructive criticism as this is my first mod so I am sure I have much to learn.
Being Open Source has everything to do with my willingness to give out the exe. I currently have confidential information in my code, and seeing as there are exe decompilers out there, I am not going to risk it.
1: I didn't do the art work for the site, but I will speak to the guy who did. Any artist whoes art work is on my website and you want it taken down just send me a message and I will oblige.
2: Already discussed.
3: There is only a windows client for the moment, working on a linux one.
4: Please elaborate.
5: This seems to be the theme of your post. A lot of insults, not much substance.
Well, if its your first mod..
I don't really mean to insult you, sorry, I didn't remember how weirdly weird South Africans were.. They think "shoe" is an insult.. Thank you for number one on that list ^^.
Why do we need an extra client to play your mod?
And just tell me why it-
Oh. Never mind. Ok... How about lets say... MAKE ONE THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITH ALL CLIENTS
I really like new mods and yours looks promising ^^
I wanted to make an extra client for two reasons. It allowed the users to only require an once off login whereas if I used the vanilla client they would have had to login each time they joined the server/changed maps. So I thought that having to download a (7meg) client once off was a trade off for having to constantly login. Some might disagree.
To minimalise this inconvenience I aim to make an oMod version of all of the popular clients, so people can still use their favourite client.
Thanks

Get back on topic?
What kind of information that you don't want to realease do you have in there?
Everyone else releases their exe.
Also, could you explain to me what the mod is like?
Ah no worries man, it takes a big man to apologise so I appreciate it. In regards to the sensitive information, (I suppose saying confidential information makes it sound a little extreme ^^) is that I connect directly to my online database from my server exe, so I have my database credentials stored in there. See I stupidly started off doing this cause it was easier and by the time I realized my mistake, I was too lazy to change it. I know how I am going to fix this, and will do so in the holidays so anyone can host a server.
Well I did mention it in my first post, but the main objective is to bring an account system for teeworlds over multiple mods. Focus is on global statistics tracking, such as average score for instagib maps, and overall points for the DDrace mod. I have also added a bunch of features that I felt were missing from each mod and some were possible due the addition of an account system. Here is a list of all the new features, for a full explanation of them visit teeworlds.co.za/help.php:
Commands in-Game
General
/w <Name> - Whisper
/callAdmin <Text>- Calls an admin
/bug <Text> - Send a bug report
/rating <1-10> - Rate maps.
DDrace
/mc (map challenge) - Map challenge function, see description in first post.
/lock - Opt to stay in the same team even after you have killed.
/swap <Name>- Swap place with teammate
/commend <Name> - Send a commendation to a player who has been particularly helpful.
/grank - Gets your global ranking.
Instagib
/stats - Displays the stats for the current round.
/gstats - Displays your global stats.
As you can see for DDrace I focused quite a bit on teaming as I feel that DDrace maps are most enjoyable in small groups which is why I encourage it through those additional features.
hmm what else.... There is also a tiering of users and their privileges.
- [G]uest represent non-account holders, they have all the access as a normal teeworlds player has, just dont have access to the new features.
- Member: Registered account. Access to all features.
- Veteran (6 months old account): Can call votes to kick guest players. Only other veteran/admin players can vote on this.
That is everything I can think of, for now, don't want to bore you guys too much. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
