Click the link for the Google Code project and you'll get linked to the thread for DS4Windows, which you'll notice links to this thread. If you look at the Source in the Google Code project, you'll see the entire history of its development post-fork from Scarlet.Crush's project.
Sorry if your ego-feeding game requires names of developers in About boxes, but I don't swing that way. I've been an Open Source/Free Software advocate for fifteen years, and I'm going to follow the original tradition of non-commercial software NOT containing a Credit Roll. If you think the credit for who has worked on the software has been lost to the annals of history already, then you are deluding yourself. It is always there in the git repository, even if these forums disappeared tomorrow.
Edit: Also, if you think this software would be in remotely the state it is today without my contributions, you are also deluding yourself. Shame on you for trying to cause strife just because you love drama.
Nice, we down to insults now, I hoped that if you are doing your own thing you won't bother me here. And truthfully you are kidding yourself, its you who have been less useful than even HecticSeptic. He at least implemented important useful features where you can only brag about your experience and how you know it all on performance. You've been on this project for about 2 month, when i worked on it for 4 already.
I've been working hard almost every day after 8 hrs shift staying very late up each night trying to make it work for everyone.
With people like you I am regretting my decision do go open source as you have absolutely no respect for the amount of work I put in this. It's clearly visible who did what from changelog history. Where I keep working and adding important, complex things all you can do is change variable names and implement touchpad modes and rainbows and other non-essential stuff that even high school kid can do. (Sorry people but I really don't think fancy rumble patterns and lightbar modes is that important)
And by the way if you using 1.3 code you are pretty much using mostly my code as it was me who took big chunk of time and wrote up a library that you so despise. So maybe if hate it so much you should go back and work from 1.2.2 release or write your own
You started doing this because you wanted donation in the first place, where i work on this because I wanted a tool and want it to be shared with everyone.
Regarding names in the project, i talked personally with Scarlet.Crush and he said it would be nice to have his name in the tool, I asked him even though he never forced any licences and any requirements when posting his source.
The reason I would prefer names to be in the tool (not just mine, Hectic also asked me to have his in originally) is because not as many people look at the git and check out who worked on it.
If you don't want the names and so on in your version, fine its your decision. I will keep your name as I still appreciate your a lot input on the project, unless you absolutely don't want me to.
I do like all the new features and stuff you are adding and THANK YOU for putting the nice features in, I just don't like how this smaller stuff keeps interfering with everything else in the project.
So please stop bothering me in here, I am not going into your thread posting opinions, so please do the same.
I hope this conversation is over.
If people really feel like my work here is not that important I will stop doing this.
