Hi Speedy
Firstly, yours and AZUWSK previously posted advice to joshi, stating maximmum No of Signals should be 15 - was and still is incorrect.
What I would like to see done, for everyones benefit, is both posts corrected.
I have noted you do this sort of thing quite often (and rightly so).
It is such a wise course of action for members to see as it gains respect and they see posts properly updated to reflect the facts.
Secondly, I am not legally obliged to explain to you or anyone else any dat file names that I use and that are seen in my postings.
I have produced for my own pleasure and game play benefit, a modified dat called sigbs1.dat.
My reason is simple:- the modifications overcome issues that I have found with the original dat called sigbs.dat.
I have no need or desire to explain what these pleasures and benefits are, except to say they enhance my game play tremendously.
Thirdly....I refer to your referring Finisternis to tt-forums .....
" Finsternis
Den Turm findest du hier:
URL ......
Die Dat hat den Namen: WTRTWR-Z.DAT"
This redirection to tt-forums DOES NOT PROVE AT ALL THAT IT EXIST in the referenced thread as WTRTWR-Z.DAT so does not confirm to anyone who was/is the originator of the dat.
As you know I had not decalared it to be mine and I gave as much info to help everyone.
You are also aware that anyone can rename DATS as they see fit.
They need permission from NO ONE.
Lastly and most importantly I refer to the copying dats that are altered/amended to members and other locomotion players.
LOCOMOTION DATS:
I must remind you that everyone who uses a third party design package to create png images is subject, like everone else
to accept the GNU usage terms as set out by Mr J Drexler the programmer and designer of locotool.
This is the the Program that actually creates and produces LOCOMOTION DATS and it has it's a GNU Licence.
THE GNU Licences applys to all users.No exceptions.
An individual may use a third party graphics package to design png pictures etc HOWEVER whatever they produce, whether it's graphics, variables
the data file structure must be wriitten in a text editor in such a way that the information can be read and converted
to enable the J DREXLER LOCOTOOL program, to read and rewrite such data into a DAT file that the locomotion executable can read and use during program execution.
No dat files can be produced or published for locomotion usage without using the locotool software and accepting the GNU agreement as set out by J Drexler.
I remind everyone that Locotool enables anyone to make changes to any graphics and or data contained in any dat file, including Chris Sawyers Creations and no consent is required for doing so.
The DAT file is the creation of J Drexler and he has assigned these rights and benefits of the GNU licences to everyone who cares to use his programs.
I agree that someone who has designed a dat will be upset if someone says it is thiers. I have on record an e-mail attempting to restrict / limit my CHECKHEX.EXE program.
This program checks every dat in the objdata directory and if found to have coding that prevents disassembly by any version of LOCOTOOL the coding is changed to enable Locotool and other programs that rely on Locotool to function without hinderence.
Typing errors corrected and URL (which worked) removed by me ....more terrific truths to follow the dumbing down of my CHECKHEX.EXE.
