Regarding PPM Modding Software Solutions...
Subject description: Yea, baby, the words you wanna hear!
Hello everyone!
I'm sure some of you got scared with the news and even the tools released today, but I have a good news. The PPM Modding Software Solutions announcement was written today on... about 3:33 am here, (- 3:00 GMT), which means that it was still April 1st on places like California, so, concluding: PPM Modding Software Solutions is an aprils fools prank!
For this reason, we've never announced the payment methods, because all tools released will work forever! What happens is that you get a fake trial message everytime you use them. Some of you might already be able to see something like this in the PPM: Voxel Viewer:
We are really sorry if we scared some of you with this, but you must admit that it was hilarious, specially the reaction of some of you. PPM SHP Builder has a different message that will appear on april 4th or later (or sooner if you mess up with your clock).
So, we re-interate that all tools provided here are freeware and open source! We do not make money of the community and PPM is no business.
However, a true reality was also showed in these events. We are having finantial problem to pay the postage of OMC prizes, which I originally wasn't suposed to do. EA and other sponsors were suposed to do this job.
For this reason, we are adding a little paypal button in the right menu. If you can donate $10 dollars, or even $5 dollars... anything helps to raise funds for OMC and future events, since not all EA goodies will be sent to the OMC winners. We still have prizes for future contests, as long as we can pay their postage. If we receive too much donations (which I doubt), the excess will go to Revora Creative Network that hosts a big part of the C&C community mods and sites, including us.
Now, I'll be restoring the left menu and links for all CnC tools. We do not recommend the download of the PPM Voxel Viewer and PPM SHP Builder for the following reasons:
- Trial message will get annoying with time.
- PPM SHP Builder was not fully tested with mass frames operations.
These tools will be replaced soon, with non-april's fools versions. PPM Modding Software Solutions will be left for laughing purposes, and it will also be the only place where people can download the fake trials.
Credits for Stucuk for helping me with the tools and desigining a basic layout for PPMMSS site (funny abreviation, by the way).
In a small note: Anyone who design a better button for the Donation will receive a custom rank, as long as the button looks good. Because my Photoshop skills are a sad disaster. QUICK_EDIT
If anybody can make a button, i know some cool text...
The text is: "Stand and deliver! Give all your money to Banshee" _________________ I use a Unix-based system, that means I'll get laid as often as I have to reboot. QUICK_EDIT

Blue=Cabal or even Allies. Try CYAN. That works with PPM, or even grey or orange. or purple too...
Anyways, i already knew this. It was ALL TOO LOGICAL this was a fool's joke
I also can confirm this:
(this proves that google removing PPM from their search engine is a FALSE statement, and proves all this is a hoax. If you don't believe me, ask banshee, or carnivean, or even Judeau!)
PS:
I think you'd get more donations if some mods give you some secretive screenies of their project, and, judging by the size of the donation, you'll see more secretive screenshots! THAT would get the money rolling in... people are curious creatures. _________________

IIRC Banshee never said that. He has said meny times that one topic got ppm 'banned' from AdSence which is the ad service thing google run. He has never said that the site isn't listed on the search engine side of google. _________________ Free Map Editor - Game Requirements - Stucuk.Net QUICK_EDIT
I won't make any buttons because... well... Banshee has almost no photoshop skills, but i've none at all (read: I don't own photoshop)
PS. Cyan is the color of The Union Of Sevelia (check sig link) _________________ I use a Unix-based system, that means I'll get laid as often as I have to reboot. QUICK_EDIT
Just making mine - And by the way, you stole my pun!
i stole YOUR pun? LOL!
Yeah, probably not the best choice of words, it's an obvious joke.
I suggested that reborn could call their dev team "Brotherhood of Mod" quite a while back. I was basicly saying: "I was going to say that!" _________________

So? Cyan is also the favorite color of alot of gays, but that's just as insignificant in this matter.
Bittah, how does it come you know that so well?
PS. I'm not going to fight this out with you here (at PPM). If you want to fight it out, use e-mail, the tempory cncse board, or whatever, but not here, please. _________________ I use a Unix-based system, that means I'll get laid as often as I have to reboot. QUICK_EDIT
By the way, I think It's a good idea. The funny thing is, The OMC ended around july (bad memory warning here) last year, so almost a year has passed. What about a new OMC in 3/4 months? QUICK_EDIT
Not everything relies on money... (i'm happy that you didn't sayd that we had to pay to keep visiting ppm as an aprils fool joke... ) _________________ I use a Unix-based system, that means I'll get laid as often as I have to reboot. QUICK_EDIT
Hehe, "Weapons of mass distraction" is a term I've used for years, and I felt it would be funnier than simply weapons of mass distruction , that plus I never really got into Generals, so its all a bit of a joke to me
It can easily be changed.
I personally like yours Tesla, except I'd work on the font to make it a bit clearer, but I like the concept _________________ If there is a problem on the forums, PM me. QUICK_EDIT

Hey guys, just to inform that I'm watching the progress of this topic. Keep incomming and hopefully, I'll make my choice.
I have to admit that Tesla's idea is great and Muldrake's is well done, although the 'distraction' could really be distruction. Mice's text is quite weak, although the button is cool. DeathRay's is not far different from what I can do.
The only thing some of you may have not noticed is that PPM is a bit too peacefull to think about launching superweapons around or funding war efforts. We build the rules of your war games , but we don't do war... QUICK_EDIT
