mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everybody

I hate mysticdeath.com

I found a copy of mystic deaths infection mod somewhere (dont actually remember where, didnt buy it though), too bad its .amxx and locked to a certain STEAM-ID. (when you try to use it, it somehow checks the STEAM-ID and if wrong, it prints millions of messages in console until the server crashes) I'm posting the decompiled version of it too so you can 'borrow' some of the code.

Have a good day, screw MysticDeath.com.

(MODERATOR WARNING: Do not run .amxx files that do not have source code. Distribution of such files for general purpose use is against forum rules. This case is an exception because it involves reverse engineering.)

UPDATE: A version of zombiemod infection 3.0 with ALL of the known backdoors removed is available here.

1) no sma attached.
2) not your plugin, so you cannot support it.
3) attaching amxx files is not allowed.
4) as you say yourself it isn't working, so it is useless

This is not a "plugin submission." Moving to off-topic.

so you didn't buy it and it doesn't work. Are you saying that they sell this plugin somewhere? ...because doesn't that violate some license to commercially sell a plugin built on amxx/metamod.

It is a violation of our license to distribute binaries without making GPL'd source code available. It is a violation of Valve's license to sell derivative works of their SDK.

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
So... then isn't MysticDeath.com violating the GPL license?

BAILOPAN 02-13-2008 15:23

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
I don't know. Are they distributing anything?

TheNewt 02-13-2008 15:25

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
Not that I can see on their website.

I suggest you join and read.

Also, he think his terms of agreement is superior to the GPL... He's like... EINSTEIN material.

I think he's distributing through e-mail.

EDIT: I got banned within 10 minutes. =) ( Maybe cuz my name was "MDIsAFag", but you never know... )
I say, sue that retard. Let him fucking know who's in charge of AMXX. He think he fucking owns AMXX and controls it.

Hello,

The only way to obtain a copy of my Zombie Mod Infection is by buying it. The reason why I am selling it is because I am the creator of the Zombie Mod Infection found on my server so you will not find a copy of it anywhere on the internet. But the main reason is because I need the money to help keep my servers running as long as possible. If you are still interested, please reply.

It is confirmed that MysticDeath does sell his zombie mod plugin, but he does it under the table as I have not found him mention it anywhere on the website except for on the terms of server page.
this is from his terms of service page:

...no

1.) MD is distributing .amxx binaries without the GPL'd source code

Quote:

2.) he is also violating that since metamod uses Valve's SDK (???)

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
very interesting =D. I never knew GPL'D laws were violated. I guess you can sue his butt off, so anyone that technically bought a the licesense should be refunded right?

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
This is how he worded it though in this forum...

I'm sorry but I think I mis spoke. I meant that I sell my labor into creating the .amxx file. So I am not violating anything. It even says this to the buyer (If they are willing to read).

Selling his labor?

I don't know what derivative means but i would assume that it would'nt be accepted to sell .sma's either.

I think BAIL said this one time in irc, that you could sell .amxx files just it wouldn't be smart because you have to give the .sma along with it.

I think that the HL license would stop you from being able to sell anything though directly through the means of "You're buying the file". Instead you can sell "The time used to make the file".

All-in-all I think its possibly legal to sell .amxx files.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH, Okay. I am NOT MYSTICDEATH FROM MYSTICDEATH.COM.

Stop fucking PESTERING ME about MysticDeath.


Edit: Okay, well so... I don't like exploding, but I feel the need to clarify...
I... AM... NOT... MYSTICDEATH...

BAILOPAN 02-14-2008 15:12

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
I'm not a lawyer so I can't tell you how Valve's "no selling" policy would apply to AMX Mod X plugins. My educated guess is that it does apply.

The SDK is a for-profit venture. Valve wants people making things so they can later buy-out the creations or enter some profit-sharing scheme. If you're making money off their license without giving them a cut, they're going to be pissed.

Yes it works fine for a while, you will notice later that it will start sending zillions of messages in console after some kind of steam-id checking and if wrong: "THIS IS AN ILLEGAL COPY PLZ REMOVE IT" until the server crashes. In the decompiled version you can find the steam-ids but where to put them only god knows (and MD BASTARD).

TheNewt 02-14-2008 17:25

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
The server is right to spam it, it is an illegal copy! It has no .sma to go with it!

BAILOPAN 02-14-2008 18:05

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
.amxx is a container; it'd be fairly easy to dump the contained .amx file and NOP out the calls to the self-destruction mechanisms.

Whether it's worth the effort, I don't know.

Do it, release it, make it more kick ass, and shove it in his arrogant face?

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
wait a minute! I bought the mod, so does that mean that I should either get a refund or the sma?

P4rD0nM3 02-14-2008 19:28

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
You should get the .sma.

TheNewt 02-14-2008 19:59

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
Get the .sma and get a refund, unless he still wants to charge for the work put into the sma, thats fine. You should however at least get the .sma.

coca-cola 02-15-2008 07:45

Re: mysticdeath.com zombie infection plugin
 
well i have no problem wth paying the money, but ive always wanted the sma so i could do little things to the plugin to suit my needs
