    Why are 317 clients forced using features that exists in the higher revisions.
    We haven't perfected any maps about 377 at all that we put into a 317 client.
    Textures aren't even properly done, etc.. Just a general question as to why we bother with adding all this extra crap into a client that was never meant to hold all of this

    Texture example:

    Cos it attracts more dumb players
    ~ Harry
    Please bear this in mind when hearing the word 'soon' from a software programmer.

    As coding software generally takes thousands of years, software programmers have developed a natural adaptation to this in the form of an altered perception of the flow of time.

    Due to this, the word 'soon' when uttered by a programmer should be taken to mean 'a very, very long time from now' in the terminology used by common human specimens who have not developed such an adaptation.
    knowledge can be taught, but passion cannot.
    It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others.

    Because people initially didn't try.
    This just means all the leeched servers won't do it, and the good developers have moved on to newer revisions to make something more unique.
    It's a shame we didn't fix the earlier revisions. I really like old school 317s.

    Today's 317's try for what seems to be 718 stuff, customization is a cool thing until you're mimicing the entire revisions data in a 317 and pretending to be cool cause you managed to do something.
    If people want the higher revisions features then use the proper client that was utilized in the revision.

    Following revisions are currently non existent in the advertisement section/ and or should be imo (non modified)
    Also revisions between the listed as well too (just naming the major revision that I can recall)

    • 317
    • 377
    • 474
    • 508
    • 525
    • 562
    • 614
    • 634
    • 639
    • 666

    Exactly. And I think people got too caught up in their "safe zone" they stuck with 317 for higher revision things because they didn't want to learn how to work with the other revisions, but wanted the newer features, which definitely links back to laziness. It makes the graphics look like shit imo.

    I think this almost falls under the same idea of server security. People are too lazy and cheap to make their server secure when it's necessary with all the botnets and booters people use. People also don't fix the little things with clients and they go straight into content, when to me, it's the little things that make a server stand out. If people took the time to perfect their servers they would have more success, rather than just copying and pasting features that someone posted.

    reason no1 uses other rev's is because :

    1# we want to have a mix of the rev's
    2# dont know how to handle higher rev's since there arent that much information about (most are to lazy to learn if not all)

    Also people use 317 client based on it's refractor classes/releases users do as well, intense reason as to why people use it cause they understand it (barely, but operable)

    Clients weren't meant for modifications at all (at least what we're doing) without updated the game engine
