Yep, agreed. I decided to make a private branch on gitlab, update it to the latest OpenMW .47 build and since then fix quite a number of breaking bugs as well. I originally was motivated to do this for my own players but unfortunately don’t feel welcome to bubble the contributions back up. Pity really, but this is now a hard fork from tes3mp (although I plan to open the fork at some point with a new project name).

There wasn't anything rude or combative in asking you to allow TES3MP to catch up with breaking changes in OpenMW one at a time, especially considering you had never interacted with anyone from TES3MP at all.

Your attempt to take in many breaking changes at once resulted in what you yourself called an unstable and "truly hacky" build.

Consider why you feel the need for such hard unilateralism in your approach before you complain about others.

Ok, well, that isn’t even close – I offered a link to my own public repository for other people if they wanted to bring their binaries up to .47. It wasn’t a PR. The current version of tes3mp has bugs that make the game unplayable and is way long in the tooth - 3 years since a release.

But anyway - not interested in drama. My branch is up to speed, many bugs fixed and we're having a blast.

Peace and I wish you well with your tes3mp efforts.

Most of those bug fixes and complicated updates towards 0.47 were done by me on the work-in-progress branch, but you're pretending it's your credit somehow just because you took my unfinished work before I could do a release of it (mainly due to COVID-related problems).

If you're not interested in drama, perhaps you shouldn't start it so needlessly.

Also, nice edit to your comment. Here's what you said originally:
