I do agree that renaming the CZ plugin entry to "RBR PRO tournaments" is not cool.
Users really might get the false impression that it is genuine "RBR Pro" work, which is not the case at all.
It is not about offending the creator of this tool, but you know, people are too lazy to do some research or read credits, and quickly think that "RBR Pro" is some brand new thing, new RBR, RBR 2, whatever you may call it.
Instead, RBR in its current state is the result of the efforts done by various modders during the past decade.
Hi Guenter
I ask myself if you have ever given an in depth look to my application. In my opinion you don't realize what my application is and what its purposes are
I am known in italy because on my YouTube channel i've spent my life trying to make people know you and your work because in italy no one knew what "NGP" means or what it is and almost nobody played on the czech online.... before Pro.
Well, if you ever tried to install RBRPro you should know that in my work I try to explain that RBRPro is a mod and that is NOT the czech online in every point, starting from the disclaimer note in the installer!
When users download Pro, they have to configure their account and they are sent on the czech online, not on my website
point 2, this credit section is present since the first version of Pro
As you can see your name is the first one, and Wally /Koral are the second.
Honestly I didn't want to make you understand what Pro is, because I think that you and other's did a great work but failed in one thing: making things easy for all users, giving them assistance, tools to get a stable game with an improved video and audio quality and protection against issues. Pro is not RBR 2, Pro is a community of people who really love RBR and want more. It is a tool, the best tool, to play on the czech online.
We added a lot of features that the czech online did not implement, like the possibility of playing at night with lights (which doesn't mean to include the light plugin, but checking that people are using it when playing online!).
We do what many do: we create tournaments in the czech online but managing the result so that we can have our teams and our championships. Thanks to RBRPro a lot of people who were forced to leave RBR because of the difficulties of understanding how to install a stage, a car a codriver or a plugin now are returning to the game! This is not my supposition but it's what they say and the reason why they thank me. Why so many people love Pro? because they find an easy game manager, great mod quality, support for their native language, cool championships, the possibility to create new teams and new features like the possibility to create alternative versions of the same event or "continuations". They click on the calendar and the game is ready to run. This is what people want, not getting crazy with READMEs, instructions or such things.
I won't ask you to use pro but I really don't understand why going on with ugly tools like RBRCIT or so, RBRPro would be a real better platform to promote NGP and RBR in general, I don't know why you and others don't realize it.
Luckily, my community is growing more and more every day and not because i fool my users but because i give them what they want. Official pilots in WRC sent their donations as a support to my project and they know well what RBR is, who you are and what the czech online is.
If they are excited about my project, like hundreds of supporters and donators in more than 50 countries, i would ask myself why. Why they love RBRPRO and don't love RBRCIT?
Finally, i am removing the translation RBRPro Tournaments because it don't change anything in my work. People won't change their mind about Pro, and of course you don't know is that my application supports 12 languages and i was the first to translate the RBRTM into italian, that's why I used RBRPro in my first translations.
It was not a try to fool people making them believe that PRO IS THE CZECH ONLINE and it was very sad that you have been thinking such a thing. I also want to point out like your words on RaceDepartment have been exposed on the profile of my "public enemy" Igor Borgacci (ilborga70 here). He is the co-founder of RBRPro and he worked with me on Pro as a tester and codesigner for months. After i decided to stop my collaboration with him this man is going around defaming me and my work everywhere, and of course trying to attack every
possible point. The translation of the plugin menu of course has been a gift for him, and your words are a trophy on his profile. But only a stupid can think that people don't know what the czech online is. Check the translation in spanish or in russian and see if RBR Tournaments has been altered or not....
At the momento Pro is a very active community with people from all around the world. We have users in more than 50 countries of the world. I think that Pro is the tool that is making NGP appreciated in all the world. Pro... not RBRCIT.
My advice is to download and use RBRPro before commenting around.
The youtubers all around the world, from UK, to Russia and Pakistan are NOT new users for NGP and the czech online.
Thanks and go on with your fantastic job. Thanks again for what you have done for RBR.
