Okay since obviously you're too engrossed on wanting things automated and saying **** IS EASY. I'm going to explain to you once again that the fact you can't program and asking the community means you have no right to say that things are easy. Because you don't know how the internal code works and don't even BOTHER TO PRETEND YOU DO SINCE YOU JUST ADMITTED IT IN THIS TOPIC.
You don't know how steam dev works and how painful it is to work with and thinking of ways to make your "importing issues" easier. Just because we said in our official statement that we're not doing anything by this time doesn't mean that we have not considered it or thinking of solutions to pamper to both sides that ARE HAPPY WITH IT AS IT IS and those newbies like yourself who can't even be bothered to import things via basic windows knowledge.
STEAM DLC HANDLES THINGS DIFFERENTLY WHICH MAKES IT HARD FOR US TO WORK WITH. Right now our priorities is making things easier to distribute to the workshop since that's the most requested thing for now. My installer for RPG Maker DS+ pack for example wasn't applied in steam DLC because it doesn't allow batch files for example. Why else would they remove the installer that I added there?
Once again, we already mentioned this 123213123123x over. This is not a downloadable add-on content that is part of the program. It's just an image/sound pack since you seem to think resource packs and dlc packs are the same. They're not add-ons to the program, they are made by the VERY SAME COMMUNITY you are asking right now, who prefers this method of installment/importing and see no issues with it.
Think about it for a second.
Seriously.
I have thought about it, for more than a second. Steam dev is hard, fine. But that doesn't affect an outside program that is independant of steam that could automate this process. You can't change the editor, you can't change the way the resource packs are made. I fully understand that. I've thought about it. I've considered it very carefully.
And my response is that nothing you said should actually be an obstacle to the creation of such a program.
The staff doesn't want to make said program.
I've also read this. And thought about it for more than a second.
And my response is, let's ask the rest of the community.
If you've already given me the official line and there's nothing more that you're willing to do, then why not just bow out? Why fight with me?
I'm gonna try this one more time...
1. I think it's funny how you just gloss over the posts that actually give legitimate criticism to your proposal such as my last post and Neverward, while flaming the people who are tired of your arguments and are flaming you in turn...which makes me understand exactly why your last thread was shut down so fast...
My thread here was shut down before it was even given a chance. Based on some posts made in an entirely different forum. I copy and pasted my post from the locked thread so you can read it for yourself. I think that I was straightforward and polite and that I asked a very reasonable request.
And I feel the response to me was way, WAY out of line and over the top compared to what my request was.
2. To flip your own question on you, if no one 'here' wants something like this, is it really worth discussing 'here' any longer and re-posting whenever your post gets locked for turning into a flamefest?
Because I tend to reply to folks that reply to me? Its a failing of mine I guess, but I tend to like to respond when I'm spoken to.
3. Just saw what you just added, ignoring the posts with the most concise, reasonable explanations for why your idea wouldn't be feasible because you have no retort other than "this is useful to me and a lot of other people who aren't here' is not the way to win an argument... if you were ignoring posts like EvilEagles that was just sarcasm and scorn you could argue that... but those aren't the posts that you are ignoring.
either Ignore this or debuff my original points and Neverwards at least when you do flame back.
I fundamentally disagree that I ignored anyone. But I can't alter your perception of that.
I personally take the time to respond with at least a sentence to each person who responds to a discussion thread which I personally began. It's called starting and moderating a discussion, a skill which you develop being on forums after a while.
And you found them unreasonable? How?.... I'm usually a nice girl, and I try not to flame, but your just damn wrong.
Since I did the exact same thing to you (replied when you responded), then I obviously don't find it unreasonable. I'm really not sure what you're even reading anymore.
So yeah, tons of people have posted that they need help (because of their lack of competence at reading instructions, usually) but you won't read the MANY posts that have accumulated here, relevant to the topic, from people who disagree? You can close your ears and eyes to what you don't want to hear if you like, it just makes you look silly.
So, great. They disagree. They made their points. I listened. Now, I'd like to continue with my initial idea of making this file manager.
We're not ganging up on you. We're showing you the true majority, not the vocal minority you think is. We're showing that for the past 10 or so years, we have not had a problem with this system. We read the manual. Guess what? If people want to use your dream software, they'll have to read a manual for that too. Not only does what you want do the same amount of clicks as the current method as I said earlier, but it now also requires basic reading as well. If you're going to be a proponent of change, at least make a change, not dress up the same system in a fancy jacket (with less functionality to boot, I might add, making the system you propose actually INFERIOR so far).
I disagree that you're not ganging up on me. There's a clear "circle the wagons" mentality going on here. I've dared to question the status quo and pointed out a massive failing in the product you love. So you all get hyper defensive and attack the person who doesn't like the way things currently work. Me thinking importing resources is tedious is not an insult to you guys...
but you sure as hell reacted like it is.
Yes, this will have less functionality, which is why we shouldn't remove or alter what's currently there. Yes, people will have to learn to use this, but if its made well, learning that will be even easier than learning how its currently handled. People have to start somewhere. Start with learning this quick and dirty installation, then move to learning the "real way" that you guys approve of so you can stop looking down on them, and then maybe move onto scripting or something. Baby steps. What's wrong with that?
Finally, this is not a imageboard. We aren't 2chan or 4chan or 9gag. Threads don't die when they aren't bumped. Haven't you heard of necroposting? That's because an old thread that isn't locked can be drudged up from underneath the slag heap and rekindled. Necroposting is notorious for inciting new dramas and rekindling old ones. By locking the thread, they are making it die more effectively than what you are proposing they do. They're also doing their job again. If you want this thread to die as much as the staff do, then stop posting for a while and let them lock it. Maybe after thinking on it a while, you can propose a system that does more than simply make it obvious how to use resource packs, even though it doesn't actually make it better.
Yes, but if no one replies to the thread, then it gets no attention. With all of you bombing it, it becomes a hot topic. Which draws attention. Which draws even more replies. Which becomes a cycle.
So, yes. If you stop replying to me trying to defend this system of installing resource packs, then this thread will effectively "die", won't it?
There, I think that's it. No doubt you'll reply to me with some flimsy arguments, frothing at the mouth, but I'm content in the knowledge I tried my best. I've bolded the important bits, since your reading comprehension is a bit under scrutiny in my eyes right now given your tendency to ignore what people are saying to you. I hope it helps.
Yes, because baiting me with an insult is a sure-fire way to not get insulted in return.
Ever hear of the golden rule?
