How did you do this? :o!

Thief

nowadays it's Thi4f

you meant that he stole your idea to remake ID software's Hektik for q3? =)

No, I mean he took the map and recompiled it without permission which is equivalent to stealing it.. ;)

piracy is never equivalent to stealing

It is! We just (and we should) approach it differently when it's happening on the Internet, but it's still stealing.

Why would we approach something differently if they are equal things? Let me answer that for you: because they are not equal.

It matters if you are cursing in a church or among your friends in a pub. Both are equally cursing, we just judge them differently because of the other parameters of the given situation.
Laws and ethics are both works the same way in a healthy society, it's never only black and white and hopefully they never will be.

I agree with the example you gave but it is irrelevant since I am not stating that cursing in church or a pub are two different things.

We can continue this forever and it will never stop since we disagree on stealing!=piracy (or in your case piracy==stealing).

I just answered your question, namely this one:

"Why would we approach something differently if they are equal things?"

but Ok, lets stop there:)

Swearing in a church and in a bar are not the same thing.

And the example isn't even kind of equivalent anyway.

surprised this doesn't have any pluses. haha

I do have to agree with this in a way. I mean yeah piracy is still wrong but it's not strictly "stealing" in a literal sense. "Stealing" implies taking a possession somebody owns away from them and the original owner no longer has the object to look at or use.

Piracy, on the other hand, is more like "copying". Say someone "stole" an artwork you posted online. Technically, the thief actually "copied" it because the artwork is still on your profile page for you (and others) to look at and admire. The artwork doesn't go anywhere, it just gets duplicated.

weren't BF and hektik released originally as q3 maps anyways? lol

Battleforged, yes - Hektik, no.

Anyways the conversion is not that great. There are many damaged / misaligned textures and shaders, some of which even affect gameplay - as the lens flare light shaders are now solid and block your movement in some cases.

Oh, he actually recompiled it. LOL what a noob!

Worse yet, he didn't even get permission either. (see below)

This was not done with my permission and I request you remove it.

bet all those 9 players will be happy

pk u suck

P.S. goodda-noobba is the most retarded nigger ever :)

Glad to see this whole censorship thing kicking in.

are u reacting to retarded or nigger, or both?

edit: or is it a nigger-guy situation?

Yes.

=:DDDDD

anyway i can get it? or any old q3 version?

we arent a big community in cpm, dont think its a big deal few of us play that map, on the other hand, we have a lot more maps for free so i wouldn't care much after all.
