Hey guys, wow sorry about all that absent time! Like I mention awhile back (or maybe I did on the other thread) I was running into housing problems and lets just say that's where I've been all this time.
I don't like to get very personal on the interweb cause that's pretty much the difference between reality and electronic socialization, but boy do I got a lot of crap on my plate to deal with. This is the first time I've been able to get on excluding last weekend where a brief fight with the Curse login crap ate up all my time.
The fact that the last post before this was made today, I'm glad this thread is still alive and hopefully with some texture submissions but you'll have to excuse me for now for I don't have time to read them all at the moment. After the last time I got one here empty handed I told myself I wouldn't do it twice, but since the situation is getting more complex, I had to come on and at least throw down some info about what I'm trying to do Minecraft wise.
My first priority is the website costs. I personally don't feel right placing ads and such in anything I've ever coded and released because I don't believe in imposing on a user of my work. For this reason, I don't use ads, that adfyli (has all those letters) thing, and have direct download links available to almost all of my mods which I just want to Hit/Download Counter purposes to make gathering all the numbers easier.
Unfortunately, I don't really have the budget for the website any longer but I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something. I'm still not going to place ads or ad-links on anything but was getting reports and checking the weblogs about a certain type of people who use this mod. As we all know, people with pirated versions of minecraft can't officially login with their username's and therefor can't change online textures. My mod directs you to my server first which doesn't check/(or care) for this.
While I honestly don't have any intentions of starting the pointless feud of attempting to restrict these users from using the mod entirely, I eventually thought of placing ads on the site only for Pirated Users (otherwise Fake Usernames). I wouldn't need to alter the mod at all and I guess most would agree it's "fair enough" to help fund the web-hosting costs. I'm also going to put up a donation thing I guess since all of this is just for webhost fees.
I'll be on later tonight with some actual stuff like updated mods and the like, and of course more information about the webhosting.
Off the top of my head and if memory serves me right, the domain name is $20/yr with all it's stuff and the hosting is like $160/yr at worst, so between all the mods, ads, and everything else, should be easy to pay for itself.
Well, if it comes down to it, I'd have no problems with adverts. I don't even mind adfly, save that it doesn't seem to work at all for me. If you wanted, you could allow in an option for people to select whether or not they wanted advertisements themselves. That way, you wouldn't have any complainers (except pirates, and who cares) and you could still end up making bank enough to keep the site going.
@Riki: It's very hard to find cape skins since the last capemod thread went down. If you download the HD template for standard definition capes from the MCCapes website and search for a cape.png file wih the same dimensions, you might pull some results.
Out of the 23 mods I have this is my favourite.
Hopefully things will get better and you can work on the next logical modification to the skins. What ever that might be. Its totally tails isn't it; look at all the furries in this place
Hey umm.... how is this compatible with zombe? I used it but it said my gs.class file was not installed and it disabled fly mod. but gs.class is one of the files used by this mod... Im confused...

Then update, you could also save the HD part for later. It's just really nice to have the capes.
If you would update it, could you make sure it's Forge compatible? =D
