O. M. G. DMCA == Fascism
Not that that is really any excuse for piracy, I mean, the line has to be drawn somewhere, right?
Basically, I just don't know what to think. Maybe I'll tell them I was waiting for someone to make a decent decision for me...
Also, I have no idea what is going on on this "Blockland" board. It sounds like some kind of heavily modded MMO simulation or something.

Heavily-modded isn't really fair. It started out as a LEGO-type game, and TBM is indeed a heavy mod, but a mod of something that was a building game to begin with, just with infinitely more vehicles, weapons, maps, items, etc.
If you guys had any idea how horrible shaper is at what it does, you wouldn't blame me for trying to get it without paying $30.
Point taken. I'm not making a moral judgment or anything like that, just a legal one.
Of course, it's inconsequential anyway, since I seriously doubt RIAA or FBI or whatever Agents are going to swoop down on you the moment you violate the DCMA.

Eh, it's been known to happen before, not to mention that it's morally reprehensible to steal software regardless of how poor you find it. Some coder put in hundreds or thousands of hours to make that.
Good point, but I'm still not paying $30 for shaper.

So find a free or open-source alternative.

here's a dts to ms3d (Milkshape) converter:

or read this topic:
http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=67085
at least one person has a converter, if you explain the situation with the bricks, etc, I'm sure they'd be willing to help.
I've downloaded that converter, it needs to be manually configured in python, a language I am NOT familiar with, every time you want to use it. That's why I used shaper when I had it. I could probably just bitch on their forums about one of the many things that doesn't work, and the dev would probably release a new version that supposedly fixes the problem but doesn't really. That's what basically happened the last 2 or 3 times.
Python is pretty easy to pickup. seriously, the learning curve is less than the time its gonna take you to keep bypassing the timer on Shaper.

Its DMCA, not DCMA.

Then don't post in this subforum until you've figured out what it is.
What, I'm not allowed to ask?

You know that you could always just not curse instead of triggering the censor.
Hey, Kerm, I have a great idea! Could you make the censor use the correct tense of verb so that you can tell what he's saying? As in "verb-ing verb verb-er" becomes "censoring censor censor."
Its just so annoying to read when you can't make it out. I'd personally rather just have the cursing.
I like triggering the censor. It's like triggering a laser tripmine in splinter cell. You just have to do it to see what happens.
