So I have a question to pose to the creators of OTClient. Now before I get into this and you all assume I'm being a prick; just know I have high respect for Edu, BeniS, Summ and all other OTClient contributors. With that said here comes my question:
You guys keep claiming you won't allow closed modules because you want it to be "open source" so the community can all help each other with expanding this project. Yet the second anyone needs any sort of help with compiling or sorting out an error there is next to no help from the creators.
How can you push such a message when you are unwilling to backup your product. I'm not claiming I could make a better product or anything close to it; but why so little help in getting more people on the client? You claim you want expansion and a great community project, but you won't even help with the simplest of errors.
My question to you is; why? Why the hypocrisy? Unless you just want the people with decent knowledge of lua/C++ running OTClient. Then in that case you should add a closed source version.
I mean, I've had help from Talaturen, Elf, Remere amongst other people during the times they were most busy. I've never once had help from Edu, BeniS or Summ. Just a "I don't know, ask xxxxx" response or an argument over why modules are open source.
Now, I'm not trying to bash anyone here, but I am trying to get my point across as strong as I can. It's this very reason that I'm not at ease with releasing any modules I create; because there's no support for the product from the creator.
