But see, if we can help we can help... but when it comes to external projects, only few of us know them so in that case it would be better to ask to their forums/tracker. But only due to our ignorance.
Of course, if the question is about a thing that is common to RunUO "vanilla", we can help... but always if we do know the answer.
Right, Even though I'm not a big fan of the rule, I've always felt that if we can help, we should, but also direct the person to the location where they are most likely to receive the
best help. And in a case like this, where the project has its own svn, its own bugtracker, and an entire forum section on another site dedicated to it... thats probably where they should be sent.
And lets face it, while James420 is correct in saying that many people here use the SA SVN, (although even still, his and my definition of "many" greatly differs) even less of them truly know the inner workings of it. So the best support would really come from the project authors, who seem to prefer orbsydia.
I believe that rule is not meant to be a diktat, rather a brief of what I have said above: it is not the case I'm "banned" from asking if I have done 1 line of core edit, but I can't expect much help if I have devastated the Server folder.
Right, I was never suggesting any sort of punitive action, just pointing out that the rule exists, and the reasons why should be obvious.
This is also solves the problem of people who are completely new to running a servers, and don't even know the differences, and try to get help here without reporting they are using as fork.
Yep, I have posted those ones I believe are much valid and especially whose authors were helpful to the community. And sincerely, they cover quite everything (ML, SA and soon HS).
Other projects I know are a collection of other projects, or their strongest point were highly surpassed by RunUO and the forks I mentioned, or anyway abandoned from long time.
Heh, I was speaking of Wyatt and RunUO RE, whyich is probably ancient history for most of you.
