Nico, thank you very much for this nice addon!

Couple of questions: First, if I install Kel's Uber pack (v6.5) and Kels' CPL Bonus pack (v2.9) will everything 'play' nice with each other?

Second, are all these updated versions of every program (and will you be keeping them up to date)?

Thanks in advance for a gratefully received new 'Uber' pack.

Cheers!

To FlyingGleek

1. Yes you can install both together without trouble.
2. The program include in the CPL Addon are up to date and will be update when needed...

enjoy

Man this is very uncool. You never talked to all of us about combining our packs (Which we all do to each-other as a courtesy of each-other. Do you own CPL file maker so you can release these CPL extensions? Also I took some of these CPL's outta my addon for good reasons. I am very against this addon and encourage others not to use it.

Plus I see you are using some old addons and have completly broken the 8.3 naming rule.

Nico · Post by **Nico** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 1:01 am

1. In order to have CPL and CPI file, I use an HEX editor

2. . Instead of asking to you and to all the great guys here the permission to repack (and sometimes correct), I decide to put greetings on the post and the most links leading to the original thread.

3. You have your reasons to remove some CPL, I have mine to keep them, people just have to open the cab and to remove the files they don't want as well editing the inf file, it's a matter of minute to do it.

4. The 8.3 naming rules isn't really a problem, I build unattend ISO since 2 years and I never suffer of it, sorry, but for me it's a pure DOS problem, so it can only append during first install part, when the install copy the file and the disk. to avoid problem, I set my ISO properties to support 221 lower case characters with a pure ISO9660 format.

6. I found some of the old CPL addons very usefull so I like to have them... like the DirectX CPL (even with grayed options), even if I known it's useless !

7. The pack is called overdose for a good reason...

8. And sorry again...

Rubbish! I pulled your pack apart and found many cpi files which match the hashcheck of the same files in the original packs you took.

Us "great guys" here had to ask for permission from the orginal software authors for a number of the packs you took and included in your pack and if you had the decency to ask us about it first we could have informed you of that fact.

Some of the addons that have been removed from the board recently were done so for very good reason because we found out later they violated the authors license agreement and if you had the decency to ask us about it first we could have informed you of that fact.

The 8:3 naming rules ARE a problem for some users with some OS's. Many of the people here who download addon packs are not advanced users like yourself and would not know how to make that modification so your addon would have BROKEN their installations.

Some of the addons you used in your pack were older obsolete addon versions which were not working properly and if you had the decency to ask us about it first we could have informed you of that fact.

And I call you rude for a very good reason.

Ah comon kel.. i don`t recall you contacting anyone when you put the uber pack together, certainly not me anyway, and you still use other ppl`s addons to update it. Unlocker is one example.. office update engine is another.

Don`t get me wrong i`m not complaining, it is easyer to grab a file from a ready made addon. I have no problem with that, but don`t go preaching to ppl about it when you do it yourself

You do have a point though it is cool to at least ask.

Nico, IMO there`s no harm done here just next time show a little courtesy, i`m sure kel and anyone else who had a hand in what you`ve included doesn`t have a problem with you bringing back your uber cpl pack.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:52 am

Alright I was wrong on that but I have learned from my previous rudeness and I am not against an addon that combines all of the CPL packs. But some of those addons are now in direct violation of eulas and cannot be redistrubuted hence why I removed a couple of mine.

Awwwww X, Kel always asks me each time he wants to include an addon/update of mine in one his uber packs.

I guess he's just not as scared of thee as he is of Mrs P

LOL, couldn`t care less just seemed a bit rich that`s all.

haha scared.. nah obviously just has more respect for you than thee.

glent · Post by **glent** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 6:52 am

avneet25 · Post by **avneet25** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:37 am

all the cpls avaialbe in this forum.. since kel removed sum of the cpl dues to license and stufss.. he composed one which had everything in it

If an addon has been removed from this board because it violates licensing agreements then it should NOT be reposted here by any other member until such time as the proper consent has been saught from the software author.

Didn't we already learn this lesson over the Systernals licensing affair we had recently? Sheeeesh!

ron2024 · Post by **ron2024** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 8:02 am

License, seems like some of you(ppl releasing Addons, won't say names right now)like to
pick & choose which part of the "License" you feel like honoring. Eg... Author's usual
minimum license, "If you distribute this utility, you must include all files in the
distribution package, without any modification !" &/or something real similar to that.
What I'm finding, missing readme's, missing help files, MISSING UNINSTALLERS, etc...
Some of the finger pointing I see going on here, dare I say is like the "kettle calling
the pot black". Now who's really claiming they following the Author's license?
Oh, but I'm just leaving out a few files, you don't really need that uninstaller anyway
& because I'm (pack/addon maker) choosing what gonna stay on your computer & if you chose
my addon you shouldn't remove it anyway. Thats some of load "BS".

good friggin lord!! if you dont like the software made here NOTHING makes you use it.. in other words SHUT UP..
this thread got wildly out of order. It started with a release of software bundled together that did not ask permission.. key word.. permission of the authors on THIS list that made it!!

the authors of the software that IS still being offered for download HAS given permission (or stated so in the license)
Understand me, i see your point bout help files and whatnot BUT this thread and indeed this subject does NOT need to argued over any more!

the authors/people involved have made their statements and made their opinions known.. the author of this pack has REMOVED it.. let the damn thread DIE!
