Re: DARK studios scenes, first pack of installed minimovies
Hi.
Excuse me for this post.
I've just installed this thing, and find it useless, bad, crab, bad, in their own words in their licens file, spamming crab I just, can't say many positive words about this. I'll say the people behind this deserves this post, and I don't regret all those bad things I've said. I find all this hilarious, and I'm sure others will find this hilarious as well.
Let me start by saying nice sound editing. Great job guys. This is sadly the only positive thing I have to say about it. So if you'll get offended by reading negative things, you should stop reading now. If you wanna read about a big funny faillour, you should continue reading, just to get a damn good laugh!
So, I downloaded this from a Dropbox folder, and installed it. I chose not to play the intro file and view the changelog, because I rather would launch that afterwards. So I went to my programs folder to find the Scenes folder, which I was p
retty excited to see what contained. First I was searching for Dark Studios, because that was the folder the installer creates, but well, the folder is called Scenes in my start menu.
So, in the folder called Scenes, there is a shortcut called Scenes. No uninstaller, no readMe, no shortcut to any website. Just a shortcut called Scenes, which I of course pressed enter on to launch. Guess what? No, you can't guess what happened, because you wouldn't expect such a big bug, something which fails that much or something that much unprofessionel without one single warning from the developers in the new releases room here on the forum. I got the following message: Missing shortcut!
Well, I have seen this before if a none international installer is used because of none english operating systems, so I didn't thought much about it, accept for this has been tried on an english Windows 7.
I located the Dark Studios folder on my c drive. Guess what? No, again, you ca
n't guess what happened, because I even can't think of any way a developer can fail that much. Guess why I got the missing shortcut dialog? Simply because there is not any shortcut connected to the shortcut in the start menu. I didn't thought it was possible to make an installer which installs something which seems to be a program with a missing shortcut. Well, you got the point.
Now, to the things which they are calling movies. They are not movies, but rather mp3 sound files which is edited pretty well I'll say.
The Intro movie says like the following: Dark studios is working hard to make this scene with good quallity sounds. No, no no no! Those sounds are not quality sounds, not at all! Where is the music stolen from in the Intro? Intombed I think.
Here is the Changelog:
changes from 0.1 Beta to 1.0.
remobed scenes.zip, now it's an exe!
added 1 scene!
new in Version 1.1.
added an intro, that allows you to know what
is this file.
New in Version 2.0.
added a new scene.
added the changelog, the same you're reading.
Congratulations on making this from a zip file to a .exe installer. I could have made the same with a shortcut which works! And, congratulations on making a Changelog!
Now, the licens.txt file:
LICENSE OF THE DARK studios's SCENES INSTALLER.
please read carefully this license before attempting to do anything with the installed products.
The following products are protected with the DARK studios's EULA copyright, and we will not permit the following activities with the installed products.
Modifying the files. You are absolutly proivited to change the sounds, remove the logo or cut piezes of the scenes.
Distributing the installed files in a zip or in an other installer. You may distributhe these files in theyr own exe witch is scenessetup.exe, and you're not permited to share them in an other form. O
nly I can do that.
Removing Introscenes.wav. You are also not permited to delete this file from the main installer if you distribute it, because the unknown people can share it with others and those don't just know what to do with them.
Well, it's all. if you manage to spam or otherwise arase the people with this file, or violating this user agreement, you'll just be banned from the main download server and you will be unavailable to download any of my products.
So, that means if the developers choose to remove the file from their Dropbox which they are calling the download server, I can just host the setup file on my Dropbox if others wants to see what it looks like.
How they would bann some people from downloading stuff from their Dropbox folder and allow that for others is a big puzzle for me. Speaking about banning a download server, we could just bann their Dropbox folder by massive downloading the setup file.
Again, I'm sorry to extreme critisize those people behind this, but I couldn't stop doing it!
