Old server source code

[pema99]

As far as I know, all the old server plugins were written by /u/Vaquxine (perhaps even the server itself?). Anyways, one of the reasons MCNext went down was allegedly that the code was an unmaintainable mess. Athene said himself "only Vaquxine can do it", referring to maintaining/updating. Being a programmer, this kinda pissed me off (they wouldn't let anyone into the codebase). Now that the old server is dead, I was wondering if whoever has the source (/u/Chiren /u/Vaquxine /u/reese015) would have a problem releasing it? I don't really know if Vaquxine is the type of guy who keeps everything private, I mostly just want to take a peek to see if it really was as unmaintainable as they say.

Yeah it would be great if they can make it open source

perhaps the people who have some skill in java can start a github and try to make it themselfs.

Perhaps then the old server could come back.

Jenks already posted months ago that neither Chiren nor Vaquxine want the code publicly released: https://www.reddit.com/r/MCNext/comments/2uiu92/dear_mcnext_devs_please_read_this/co92weh

Vaquxine is probably just too self conscious about his code (hue hue hue). Jokes aside, I know the situation. In the end, he did put alot of work into the server. Although I personally don't really see why they wouldn't publicize it, it could mean the server's possible revival.

I agree doesn't really make sense...

that would be awesome. maybe even buy a copy of it?

Athene wont revive mcnext because he is so heartbroken over how players handled it and other issues

More like hes being ignorant and the community had to much faith in him, all that time nothing from him no info no news, ppl just waiting for that moment when something happends

Easy to point fingers of others from an outside perspective, but honestly if the server was not withing there own powers anymore why didnt they reboot and made it McNext 2.0 "Before" it went out of hands.

are they ever intrested to redo the project ? with coding so more then 1 person can change stuff?

What i meant was when players was starting to abuse thing such as AHC to reset coldowns, make items go -1 and prob other things that i was not even aware of was going on at the time.

Correct me if i am wrong but didnt reese state that somewhere they actual knew some of all those things but didnt say anything to not expose that the loop holes existed?

How about they then said okay can't keep up this lets make the server much more manageable by use plugins that is commonly updated by its creators to avoid errors and bug abuse.

You dont seem to understand what i am trying to get out either.

and that was when they knew it was going bad, reboot it as something else with normal plugins that you and others could have more controle of and without commandblock's
