Sorry, if I have to register to download this, then I'm not going to..
Nor will I host a download here or at my own site..
Mods should be given freely to the community without holding it hostage to sign up..
I can't even be bothered to register so I can complain there..
There's not even an email address for Staff I can get to without registering..so much for having a problem trying to register..
If this is changed to access freely, then I will change my mind..
My own site had 279 gig of downloads last month, and I only have under 200 members !!

Well, thats because you wouldnt want everyone to see the mod content and steal it, before the mod is completed...
Altough you could make the forums visible by everyone now, that the mod has been released...or put a download link on the front page?

But weren't there like 50 screenshots of stuff on the front page?
I'm with EE on that... you couldn't go anywhere on the site without registering. If you wanted private forums or areas, make them private... Still, if
people wanted to 'steal' it, all they had to do was register.

How can they steal it..it must have been put up for download..
The only way would be that one of their team let a copy out.

Well, yeah, after the registration, you'd had to apply for a beta tester, then you were given access to the Beta forums, where there was a sticky with
the mod download link...some ass just applied, downloaded the mod, then started to upload it to other sites, sharing copies etc...
He got banned, and due the fact, that the public didnt posses the mod, it made the whole thing senseless, since no one could play the mod, if it wasnt
released...plus, the word of backstabbing the mod crew spread over the net and someone probably got bad rep and decided to hide in the closet...

Very funny...
I know, that there was a Beta test server for SnA, and that there is a beta server for NSO...
Problem is, there were 5 or 6 SnA servers up and only one was the beta test...

Well, maybe next time they will choose testing staff more carefully.

Just a quick heads up on the NSO mod - it's still work in progress and is not available for download yet.
When we finally finish it (if that day will ever come!) all players will be able to download it without the need to sign up.
Our hope is that dfbarracks will also host the mod for download. It will be freely available to any player from as many locations as possible.
We have a team of beta mappers making maps with the new content, they help us by highlighting any problems or errors with the new content and by
making suggestions for new content.
Some of the beta mappers were approached by us and some are players who have asked if they can help out.
Anyone can view the progress of the mod, at our forum, without having to sign up.

Ok everyone i geuss it would be time for me to post a reply here for this. I'm sorry ive been dealing with a loss to the DF community and ignoreing
my responsibilities on the MOD.
The reason for the Registration was as SAS put it a security issue. We have now fixed that issue and have released the registration. Everyone can get
the mod now w/o registering. as for the sitution with 365 they were under the ipression it was a public beta release and they removed it from there
site immediatly after i explained to them it wasnt.
As for the SnA servers more are to come soon. Some Server Hosters did not have the MOD till now and will hopefully start hosting SnA soon. If you need
to have a server hosted with SnA The Game Monsters is now up and running with SnA.
Again I appologize for any inconvinience the registration caused anyone.

Yeah I just played it not too long ago, it's not crazy good, but I enjoyed it none the less. Not to mention they have a better sniper gun selection.
But I just started making some maps for it, and I may run SUI's server for a bit. But I need to make more maps before I do that of course.

sounds like the same problem that we had when SO was released as public beta, we got hammered with downloads and alot were stopping half through or
saying its complete when its not.
Id try again in a couple days if i were you.

It has to do with the download of it.
Assassin said he has a problem downloading the mod.
EE said it downloaded fine for him and that hes uploading a mirror for it.
I stated an example of a problem i had once as an intro to my suggestion.
That answer yer question? lol

And Jet is right we are experienceing this problem right now and part of the issue is we are hitting and raising our bandwidth as fast as we can but
we are haveing trouble keeping up lol! (i geuss thats a good thing) Also with so many ppl downloading it we are haveing the issue with too many at the
same time d/ling it, so here is our fix for that within the next couple days(hopefully) we will have about 5 more sites that will be hosting the d/l.
when this happens i will post those sites here and try to post them in every news section i can. I hope this all helps with everyone!

yep...we are tyring to get a few mirrors setup that have the bandwidth to support it. The Game Monsters is the primary download now and they are doing
a good job giving us the bandwidth that they have given us. There really shouldnt be any more issues with the downloads anymore.
However, If anyone wants to help with a mirrow we would appreciate it. It would give a second soure and would help take some of the strain off TGM.
They are being very supportive of the mod by giving the bandwidth we are using.
The mod has been released for 7 days and has been downloaded over 2500 times from the bhmmods.com site alone.
We had a mirror up yesterday, but almost maxed their monthly bandwidth out in less than 24 hours.
mod seems to be very popular....

Have a download here..
http://www.dfreload.com/forum/files.php?action=file&id=294
I have another going up now, when it's up, I'll add the mirror to the above download.
I'll have to watch the bandwidth..may have to remove it if it sucks up too much.
