Hey Dave,
You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the OP source code lying around that you're looking to part with, would you? It doesn't even have to be signed or unopened.  ;)

C'mon guys. Dave stuck with us for a very long time. + having an autographed copy is Akin to a merit badge. Let's help the guy out. He did so much for us during the whole series.

Please, I am not a charity.

If you are interested, feel free to bid.  If not, that's OK too.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

We miss ya.
We know we would not be where we are at now without your dedication to making OP the best it could be, considering the circumstances of its genesis.
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says "don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
You got an empty cup
Only love can fill

It's not that at all Dave. Most of us here, just have a lot of respect for you, that's all. You'er a good man, and I miss talking with you. Besides, I still have a copy of sfc3 that you all signed, and I love It. I just hope someone else will get the same joy, out of the game, and the friendships we have formed over the years.

Yes, what Stephen said. Didn't mean to imply anything by my statement. I was just a bit shocked by the number of bids. I can remember only a few months back that SFC3 would have many more bids than that on ebay. And those copies weren't signed. This one is. I too enjoy my signed copy although it is not yet in a frame of any kind. I keep it in the box you shipped it in and take it out every once in a while to look at it. (The box is the only way to protect it from the dog at the moment, lol).

Well, I guess you don't have to worry about me, because I no longer
have any SFC code.  You'll have to blame another source for your problems.

Thanks,

Dave

I cannot speak for Rod, but as I see it:

It was a joke... (though perhaps not [ISC]Toast's mentioning it again...)

It is not a problem that we do not have the client source, we never did have it. (Certainly no blame need be placed...) It is a challenge to get the scattered concerned parties together and show them that we are worthy of their trust enough that we can carry the torch of OP, to carry on the fine work that you helped contribute to.

Not a problem, a challenge.  :thumbsup:

One of my very good friends is a private dectective...with a little bit of a stepping off point, it might be possible.  I have seen him pull rabbits out of the hat.  It is simpley mindboggling what datamining lots of sources can turn up.

Articfire's source code copy would be better than nothing, but it's pre the last series of patching that Dave did. No fixed cloak, etc... That's if whatever NDA he agreed to would no longer be binding (expired?)

WOW 152.50 not to shabby............ anyways yo folks i do not mean to offend i am new to this side of the sfc experience and like many here i am also eager to see continued support for the game as well as for the community.....if i come off as an azz i do apologise as i have ill will towards no one most who have taken the time to come to know me call me a friend after all it's just a game folks, I'm a transitional player GSA-gz to here  so out of the loop i am i guess as I'm not aware of all that Dave has done for us all...........I do know that their are more parties involved with this game than i have fingers and toes and not 1 person is to blame for things, and as i explore the entire sfc community from mods to models to scripts an servers an ladder competition for folks i am amazed by the pure talent i see as i have none in that department just an opinion an a little kid dream of what coulda or can be...........To me the code is useless as I'm not a programmer I'm a semi-driver HONK HONK lol...........but i believe talent in the community could really do a amazing number on the game I'm just hoping u all get the chance but if not hey it was a ride.........................again best wishes

I think we were not looking to "blame" but to "deal".

But I'm sorry to here you don't have it.

That is unkind, unfair, and not totally accurate, Phaser.

-1 for that.  104 posts, -21.  Think about it, not that I think you care, especially for others' feelings...

... There are lots of us who do realize that for our $40 or $50, we had lots of enjoyment out of the game, and Mr. Ferrell was a chief contributor to it.  If I could afford to, I would have entered a bid.  I think it would be a kick to own a copy signed by the makers.
