Dear English community,
I am closely following this thread witnessing "deja vu", as Tropsy's comedy unfolds again.
Unfortunately, the plot is exactly the same, just the "publicity" changes.
I feel the need to take a stand and make an official announcement in behalf of GRC (GRCRT nowadays) development team.
At first, when GRMH appeared on polish market, anpu (present co-developer of GRC) offered mr Tropsy cooperation seeing how he struggled with his website and script's loading time on his free hosting. He offered him space on his server with the possibility of having a subdomain or transfering his own (if he decided to buy one). Tropsy rejected that offer and anpu asked no more. Two weeks later anpu and I joined forces.
At the beginning when I accued Troopsy of stealing, he stated that since GRC is an extension to a browser game, his script aims to be extension of my extension.
I let it be for the time being and got busy with anpu developing new version (3.0.0), clearing code of old and unused functions etc etc.
In the meantime Tropsy's "creation" was evolving and our programmer quickly started making a "career" (at the expense of me, anpu and GRC of course). To ensure succes of "his" script and to keep growth of newcomers, Tropsy wrote following lines of code:
if (typeof RepConv != "undefined") {
$('a[id^="BTNCONV"]').remove();
$('a[id^="BTNSAVE"]').remove();
$('a[id^="BTNSUPPLAYERS"]').remove();
$('a[id*="RepConvStatsPlayer"]').remove();
$("#RepConvRes").remove();
if (HMole.Set.power)
$.each($("div.gods_area .god_container div.new_ui_power_icon div[name=counter]"), function (e, t) {
$(t).remove()
});
if (HMole.IsPotOnBoard == false)
if (document.getElementById("grcgrc") != null)
document.getElementById("grcgrc").src = HMole.Home + "img/octopusp.png";
HMole.IsPotOnBoard = true
}
When asked what would possibly be the reason for such a behaviour, answer he provided was that "if you dont like it, you can disable it".
(for those unfamiliar with javascript - quoted code above REMOVES buttons added by GRC to replace them with GRMH adequate).
Tropsy assumed that since his script already has all of the GRC functions plus a few of his own, users do not need to use GRC anymore.
Let alone the fact that average script user does not even know such an option exists and/or needs heavy explanation on how to install and use such a script, asking that user to disable or remove a script is.... well, "silly".
We were way too long kind enough to tolerate existence of this script, knowing that biggest part of this project was simply a plagiarism. We would point out certain "flaws" for Tropsy to fix (for example why script refreshed all the data every 500ms knowing it'll slow down browser), hoping that would change his heart. Of course Tropsy just kept on going ignoring us completely...
On forums he played smart and experienced, but via PM he kept asking "how do I do this" to the point we were forced to block him.
That was a turning point as it was obviously way too late for any dialogue, so all communication with him has been severed and we sought justice with Support Team.
Bottomline here is that GRCRT team will not have anything to do with Tropsy and from our point of view doors to understanding are sealed shut.
We do respect each and every player that uses our work, thus the need to share the truth with you.
At the moment of writing, Tropsy Krett's script is forbidden in Germany and Poland and his forum accounts are banned in those countries (for trolling, flaming and multiaccounts).
with all due respect,
Potusek
