It is with my most pleasure that I announce the end of the CSGO PROMOD/BETA PROJECT.
Yes, with pleasure.
It has been a long road with many holes. I have worked for around year to accomplish something so huge by myself. I do not regret starting this project, I don’t regret anything I do. This project has taught me a lot of stuff, taught the community tons as well, and has united many, many people.
Why is it ending? I am not ending the PROMOD because it is an impossible goal. Everything is possible with enough hard work and determination. My determination was always present, and so was my hard work. I am ending the project because I simply do not have the knowledge, experience, and time that is necessary to continue.
Throughout the process, I taught myself how to manipulate the files and learned a lot about the Steam and Source Engine. I taught myself how to use the HAMMER Editor as well. All of this is enough to change the aspects of the game, but it is not enough to create the project that I dreamed of creating.
In order to continue the project, I would’ve needed to teach myself advanced C++ programming, SQL database, Javascript, CSS, and a lot of other advanced techniques that unfortunately takes time to acquire. I also would’ve needed the professional help of various people, something I simply cannot afford in this due time due to my unemployment, and my non-profit mentality when creating projects like the From Silver to Eagle Guide.
I did all of this whilst studying French, Mandarin, Advanced Mathematics, Advanced Nuclear Engineering, and also advancing my Naval Career in the U.S. Navy.
However, I have met a lot of great people, and I will not let my months of self-teaching and experience go to waste.
I have been working on SlothSquadron’s Weapon Balance Mod and will continue working and providing advice to help him provide a perspective on how Valve and the community members can easily manipulate the game with a few changed values. I will also keep in contact with Crashz and help him if the need be.
The PROMOD project may not be complete, but the undermining goal of helping this community is still forever strong in me and its members.
I love this game, and I will continue to improve it no matter what. I will be sharing my knowledge and expertise with the community in the Global Offensive Subreddit, help people improve the game with the Silver to Eagle Guide (and it’s sequels), and I am sure I will find other ways to help this game out.
This is not a goodbye from AddictedPro either. I will still be online, helping people, sharing ideas, improving this community, and finding new ways to bring people together for a greater good.
This is why I have the pleasure of officially ending the BETA PROMOD.
I have learned to start a project only when I know how to solve it and have the time and knowledge to complete it. So I hope to meet you guys in the future with another successful project like the Silver to Eagle once was.
If you guys still want to support the improvement of this game, I would extremely recommend you guys back the WeaponBalanceMod by SlothSquadron which I will be advising using the PROMOD’s data, playtesting, and the knowledge I gained from it.
Thank you again for reading this message and the last post to be posted in this website. The road was amazing and I met a lot of awesome people.
I will close down the Steam Group, the Subreddit, Twitter and other social media related to the PROMOD to not confuse people, and also free up the space for another person who wishes to create a project by the same name. 🙂
See you guys later! 😀 Peace! Love you guys! -AddictedPro ❤
