When i say advanced, i don't claim them to be the best, nor do i claim them to be perfect. Im judging by the actual difficulty of the software engineering they have performed, and further, the consistent quality. And i wasn't the one who said you were advanced, thank the OP - And, considering that in my experiences you have done nothing but be a negative influence on my threads and posts, i can have a bias towards your attitude. That menu i released was the first menu i ever released, and considering the fact that it had so many undiscovered functions and features, just to be treated like a skids copy paste work, was absolutely pathetic. I put hours upon hours into that project, and for a person newer to GSC to have his first menu thrown into the dirt from a more known coder was demotivating to say the least. And you know what? It doesn't matter anymore. I have learned much more than i knew then and at this point, iv'e done something no one else has, and soon it will prove its self.
I just hate to see people trying to please others instead of having goals individual of popular opinion, because when people who have influence on those goals don't appreciate the work they put into a project, it makes them stop. That is why the modding community is so limited; I see so many 'new' menu bases, all with the same internal structure because an advanced coder defined it and no one questioned it; I see so many projects with the exact same features and bugs as another identical project; And what do we have to blame for it? Innovation has been discouraged throughout this site if it isn't perfect, and to be honest i feel like no one cares about the actual end goal: a community having control over the game they enjoy.
Regardless, the end goal of that post was not to go against you personally; It was to explain that he shouldn't be trying to impress the 'advanced' community, rather, he should be creating new and original content. (Also, i just wanted to commend shark for the work he has done in total. Look at some of the stuff he has done external to GSC; He is no doubt an 'advanced' coder.)
TLDR Summary: Code for yourself to learn, not for commendation - You wont find it here.
