ZDL_800

Hello and hope you are good. Basically just tried to login to the Zdoom forum and they have banned my account for 2 months for copyright material with no warning or anything, just outright banned my account and removed our works? I was Ai neural upscaling textures, the mod was there on the site for a year with no issues. Can I ask, does anyone know to contact the Zdoom admins because I really need my account back and would like to know what's going off here? Thanks again and hope to speak soon.

I have listened to everyone, I understand, the Zdoom admin told me not to send the MegaWAD on the forum, I did as requested. The script is on Patreon as a benefit to supporting us, not a paywall, I'm not selling anything direct, you dont require it for Brutal Hexen as the admin assumes. It dosent deserve to be blocked on the forum and a 2month ban with no prior warning or discussion, nothing, she removed my work because this is lies and deception. There's much more to this than meets the eye. Much more of a personal vendetta. Thanks again.

The definition of Patron is to support a creator, thus receive a mod for the contribution made which only combines WADs which you need to purchase, together. No copyrighted material. just a combination script for your purchased WADs. If you dont own the WAD's it dosent work. No not hiding, just fed up with all the crap to be honest.

Lock this thread and delete it please if you can. Not having this.

Yes but the ZDoom admin write in a public defamation statement that I tried to sell Brutal Hexen which is total lies! I'm really truly sorry for writing here. This is the wrong place, I should have wrote the statements on Reddit or something. Funny how they always remove the top mods on Zdoom, typical. All that works from the community, pages and pages full of scripts that I need! I cant go back and read anything! Ive lost it all, Ultrawidescreen scripts, Ai scripts, coop scripts everything!

Go ahead Boaby Kenobi and twist my words with the garbage memes. You know what I said, stop with the flamewars kid.

You dont need quote 'Anything else to run the mod' You can run Brutal Hexen without the MegaWAD, free to download like the rest of our works.

No its not illegal. You still need the Hexen.WAD and DLC.WAD

Hiding but it was on the front page in large font? Right.

Its a mod that again combines your legit Hexen.WAD and DLC.WAD into one. No copyrighted material as I stated again and again. Its not paywalled, it's on Patreon, as a bonus benefit for supporting our works.

It said on the ban, Copyrighted Material' so thats why I said Ai upscale. Quote 'Who's being deceptive' well the link was there on the main page clearly wrote on the mod page. I've sent the MegaWAD for years and had Patreon for 6months so what are you talking with all due respect?

I do apologize Doomworld community. I just needed to say my part regarding the deception from the Zdoom admin. No need for the public hitpiece on me regardless, writing on a public forum utter lies again draws the line. So sorry I had to say this here. Please forgive my actions. PS Anyone who still believe the claims against me, just a little research will provide the answer. Yes I understand 100% no-one gives a shit but I do give a shit about people, if they are saying these claims in public then I just require to say mine. Thanks again.

PS. The MegaWAD, which is not the Brutal Hexen mod which she states I tried to sell, utter lies. The MegaWAD is a mod which requires a legit Hexen.WAD and HexenDLC.WAD and it combines both Hexen and the DLC into one campaign all working with stats in coop! Its a blast! Its just a mod, I wasnt selling anything, yes its on Patreon if you would support us, theres a benefit which is the mod. I clearly wrote on ZDoom that, 'You can use console commands to stream to the DLC but please note, we have modified the DLC' which has more enemies spawned for higher levels. Stop saying that I tried to sell the mod because this is outlandish claims and nothing more. Anyone who downloaded Brutal Hexen can verify this. This is absolute nonsense. I need to talk with the admin ASAP to stop this maddness. Thanks again,

Hello and thanks for the replies. With the highest respect, she has wrote a defamation claim herself in public, right there on the forum. I have logged into Zdoom, presented with a ban notice, I cannot access the forum, this is either 1 of the 2. 1. Miscommunication with the user and admin because she states that I tried to sell the mod. She hasn't even verified this, the admin could easily just download the mod on the Zdoom forum herself. 2. Deception, she already told me to not send the MegaWAD months ago, the admin states that I was trying to hide this from her? If you kindly read the quote from my private message, it clearly states 'I cannot send the MegaWAD on this forum or I will be banned' I have tried to email to boardadmin on the ban Zdoom page and no reply what so ever I'm afraid. The admin removed the mod page completely which has been there for years, nothing has changed apart from me NOT I repeat NOT sending users the MegaWAD. Who ever I sent the message too yesterday must have reported my account because 'they' didn't get my old link to the MegaWAD when the previous users on the thread all was manually sent the MegaWAD. I really don't want any trouble with anyone but writing such a hostile hitpiece on me stating false information draws the line. Thanks again.

I've had so many messages and emails sent to me regarding some real twisted stuff from the admin, I will in 24hours be writing my public statement.

Hello. I wasn't trying to sell the mod for the last time, its the same formula as the Brutal Heretic which guess what, she blocked aswell with the powertrip shes always on. Then she edited the thread and said Heretics I guess is ok, its always guessing with that admin, couldn't even be bothered to verify what this user has said. You said I got banned for Ai upscaling textures, well the Brutal Heretic has the HD textures aswell so again, this makes no sense. I've wrote to the admin that if she does not reply to me in 24hours I will be making a public statement about her. Would you like to know the real reason I was set upon and banned and my works removed? Well follow me buckaroos, as we go straight down the rabbit hole. She personally has sent me the most aggressive, abusive and frankly threatening personal messages to me in the past, like quote 'Your a narcissistic twat' and 'Your arrogant' and 'It'll be the last thing you say'' and 'Mark my words you will be banned' and 'Your selfish' oh right Rachael I'm selfish? Creating Zdoom content for the community with my time? Absolutely disgusting attitude from her its always the same lies and deception, I've always wondered why she is so aggressive towards me, I understand now, if this is true, we live in a sad world indeed. Also we are talking about 2 completely different projects. 1. BRUTAL HEXEN is free and always has been but she states I tried to sell the mod which is total lies! 2. MEGAWAD - This is the mod that users were asking for after Zdoom admins told me not to distribute the MEGAWAD'<< on the forum. Read my message from Rachael, I said I CANNOT PROVIDE THE MEGAWAD ON THE FORUM I WILL BE BANNED. So she bans me anyway typical she knew I wouldn't bite to her disgusting threatening private messages sent to me. So just because shes an admin does NOT give her the right to abuse the Zdoom community like treating us like bloody pawns and the queen in the ivory tower. Anyone reading this and has downloaded Brutal Hexen, please reply here if you can, you will see Doomworld community that the mod was ALWAYS FREE TO DOWNLOAD. I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO SELL BRUTAL HEXEN, she has no evidence apart from her accusations publicly stated like some kind of hitpiece. Thankyou for your time and hope to speak soon. PS I changed my name, I was using an old mod name here from years ago, x900 was my first Doom1 weapon mod.

Hello and thanks for the reply. The mod has no copyrighted material and the admins already know this but announcing in that public thread that I knew Brutal Hexen has copyright violations, that is 100% false information.

Hello and thanks for the reply. This is what makes this really strange, allow me to explain. 1. The admin states 'basically admitting that Brutal Hexen had copyright violations' This is false information, Brutal Hexen is a mod which requires the Hexen WAD just like any other mod. 2. The admin states 'What really got him in trouble though, was the fact that this was paywalled and there was no "free" version.' Again false information, the mod was available on the site free to download, users were asking for a custom MegaWAD which requires the DLC WAD. 3. The admin states 'He said flat out in that PM that he knew it would get him banned if we found out' This is again false information, I clearly wrote this on the thread main page but they have deleted it, you require a legit Hexen.WAD and legit HexenDLC.WAD to play the combined Hexen + DLC campaign in coop! They already said to me not to send out the custom MegaWAD months ago and I have not sent anything in any PM I clearly said in the PM, I would be banned so I cannot send it, so they end up banning me for stating I cant send the MegaWAD, this is illogical. I know 100% the admins read all PM so this is what I find strange? I clearly wrote that in the PM that I cannot send the MegaWAD. Even though you require all legit Hexen and DLC WADS to play, the admins didn't like me using their forum to send that MegaWAD, I did as they stated months ago, never sent the MegaWAD on Zdoom from that point onwards and they wrote as if they never knew? That's what strange to me. Seeing as the admin has created a public thread about me basically completely got the wrong end of the stick, banned for 2 months and locked me from Zdoom, no reply from the admin, no chance to speak with then, I have done everything they have requested. Banned from Zdoom for sending a message which I 100% knew the admin would see, that 'I cannot send you the MegaWAD or I will be banned' as the admins stated to me months ago. This is an unjustified action from the admin. Thankyou for your time and hope to speak soon.

Hello, Firstly, we are not requesting to pay for any copyrighted texture upscales, we have permission to update the Brutal Hexen textures which are modded, they are not bound by copyright. So asking to pay for the Brutal Hexen upscale is perfectly legal. Also dpkonofa is actually helping me through PM, there is no attitude here, dpkonofa has helped me setup the parameters aswell as hidfan. If you read what were requesting you should know that were not asking to pay for any original textures, it makes no sense what you are saying. Why would I ask to pay for the original textures be upscaled when there already upscaled here? The work is already done? Have you seen this work? Its all the original textures isn't it? Again you make no sense. Grandgreed you should name a price per 100 textures. I'll paypal you up front. For the Brutal Hexen upscale, there are no copyrighted textures at all, it all new death animations and a few new weapons. Just saying its a great opportunity to make cash for your work. Thanks again.

I would literally pay for the upscale of Brutal Hexen. There's around 400 new death animation sprites and there are no textures so its difficult to work with if you are not an expert here. You guys have a great opportunity to make cash right now, it is difficult to achieve the same image quality as these great textures. Thanks again.

Hello and thankyou for the reply. This is absolutely brilliant, I'm sure the whole community is very grateful for your guide. The textures look amazing, hopefully now we can update the Brutal Hexen RPG mod, this is going to be insane if I can complete the textures. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. May I ask do you know if the author used Gigapxel aswell seeing as the work from the Doom upscale threads says Gigapixel is used? I'm asking because we want to replicate the exact steps to try and get the same image quality/color otherwise it wont look good with halfbaked upscaled textures. Was the textures upscaled x8 and then downscaled to x4 or x2? So many questions to ask, its a shame because the RPG mod is an extension of Hexen. Please someone create a thread on how this was achieved for the community, we cant just request this work be done, if you have to manually touch up each texture which I didn't know about. We thought this was all Ai and basically automated, this is why we asked, I didn't think it would so much work. Thanks again.

Hello and thankyou for the replies. Really sorry for requesting the upscale but this work is absolutely brilliant, its world class. Regarding asking for such works, we asked the RPG mod dev if it could be possible to combine Hexen with the DLC into one WAD, we received an update so you can play from Hexen map1 to the DLC on map 60. Yes you can play the RPG mod from map1 to map60 in one playthough, its going to be epic! The Brutal Hexen RPG mod is fantastic, it adds more Ai death animations and many other new textures, doesn't seem to overwrite any original textures example the hud elements are all new, its a completely new hud with the leveling system. May I ask are there any guides to how to upscale the textures using the new neural Ai method? I would literally pay for the mod to be upscaled you do such a great job. I understand now, we cannot just request these mods be upscaled but if the author could kindly post a guide for us then we can start upscaling the mods. Give a man a fish, and he can feed himself for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he can feed his family for a generation. Thankyou very much for your epic works and hope to speak soon.

Hello, First we would like to say thankyou for the brilliant upscaled textures, they are world class, the best ever seen. So we setup Hexen with a new mod called ''Brutal Hexen RPG'' which is absolutely fantastic, may we ask for a request if its not too much trouble? Its regarding the HUD elements like the fonts and numbers which the RPG mod has applied a new HUD element but it looks like the default textures are used? Could it be possible to upscale the Brutal RPG mod also? Sorry for asking but if we could somehow upscale the fonts and numbers it would look outstanding. Also on a search for GZDoom games and found this gem which I have never seen before, its amazing! Its ''Castlevania: Simon's Destiny v1.4'' https://www.moddb.com/mods/castlevania-simons-destiny/downloads/castlevania-simons-destiny-v14 Please upscale this work of art, it would be world class. Thankyou very much for your time and hope to speak soon.
