No, he wouldn't be.

I've never seen anyone else do it here, and I've been around since 2004. Maybe some people on ES used to do it and those lame retards at the masturbation community might, but nobody here has ever done it.

Told you he wouldn't be rich.

Not many people have the feature and you blatantly ripped the idea from me.

I doubt you'll use it for the reason I have it though, so it's okay.

I've futsed with name centering code before, never to add a status indicator though. I see the color as plenty for that.

One of the things I intend to do in the future is add an invisible mode for admins. When in invisible mode, the game will say they logged off, make them invisible to everyone, and still allow them to play normally, of course NPCs and players would be able to walk through an invisible admin.

I have an alignment system, based on what your alignment is, it changes your name color. So I had to find a different way to identify staff members.

As I said, there's no reason for him to steal the idea. I was posting the code for it, as an example of how to do it, were he to blit the guild name in the same sub as the player name.

I'll not be posting any of my code from now on.

Chill dude, it's just a little piece of code. Release your code more simplized so that the one you have in your own game is better.

If I post a tutorial, fine. If I post something helping someone out, I don't expect them to use the idea. It was an example.

This is why my game isn't even on these forums. Everytime someone does something nobody else does, it gets stolen and put into at least ONE other person's game..

It's annoying.

Yeah, I guess I can see why you'd be angry. Even still though, it'd be a waste of your knowledge, if you didn't post some tuts ;)

Not a waste of my knowledge. I get to see it used every time I log into my game. It goes to great use.

Why should I share anything with a community that rips each other off in the first place? I want a successful game, not provide everyone with code so they can mimic my game all together.

Because there is always the members like me that could use the code, and won't be douchebags about it.

There's more that will be a douchebag about it.

I'm all for helping someone, but I'm not just going to hand the code over.
