Hi

As the Maxsi Project seems to become more and more popular, we have decided to set up a new website for it.

Without any further ado, I proudly present http://www.maxsi.org/

The layout is still under development and the content is nearly missing entirely, but these are the first steps to create a new home for the Maxsi Project.

Download links have been reactivated after roughly 37 years of wait. Thank you for waiting. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, our products no longer ships with installers for the time being. The old installer is broken, its source code is lost, and the new one is also broken, but we still have the source code!

You can now download .zip files of most of our products. Also, while we wait for Portal 2, you should check out the Gear Portal Map Pack for Portal 1.

We will, of course, add new installers and overhaul this entire website when MD 4.0 goes live. It is coming soon.

That's right! You are no longer allowed to use Maxsi Distribution for evil purposes, unless you purchase a license to use Maxsi Distribution for evil from Maxsi Software. We have very affordable prices for the common evil genius (we also offer student discounts).

Thanks to Google Code we finally have a working SVN Reposity with 1000 MB free storage. We have uploaded the newest source code, SDK files, beta server files, and possibly also working binaries to get you started. Mind this is a beta release and it is not future compatible and almost every feature is disabled at the moment. Don't worry, we'll get achievements running smoothly soon.

But what if you don't know how to use the easy-to-use source code? Don't worry, thanks to MediaWiki, we've set up our brand new developer wiki with plenty of documentation, or at least enough to get you started. As Maxsi Distribution grows, so will the documentation. For now, all our interfaces are self-documenting, so any experienced C++ developer will have no trouble working with it.

And if you are still confused, we've got a new shiney mailing list for people using Maxsi Distribution in their products! Thanks Google Groups we can offer an advanced mailing list for help and requests. We hope people will start using this feature to make development easier!

Oh! And if you would like to show your support for Maxsi Distribution, or get in touch with like-minded, thanks to the Steam Community, we have set up an official group. So if you're using Maxsi Distribution in your products, be sure to join!

In conclusion, Maxsi Distribution offers everything for everyone, from the common modder to the twisted evil mind wanting world domination.

Maxsi Distribution is an Open Source Content Distribution Platform. We believe that we can can improve digital distribution by creating a free content distribution platform for use by anyone. We don't believe in waiting in lines when downloading, we don't believe in advertising, we don't believe in paid subscriptions. Instead, we believe in openness, creativity, and user-friendliness.

Maxsi Software, what happens to currently be a one-man programming team, is seeking experienced Software Engineers to participate in the development of Maxsi Distribution. We are currently interested in those with:

   • Experience working with Open Source projects would be appreciated, but is not required.
   • Designing and implementing real-time high-performance flexible networking protocols and algorithms.
   • Experience programming with the Source SDK is a plus, but not needed.

2. And/or 2-3 years of experience writing PHP-powered high-performance web applications.
   • Experience working with MySQL 5.0 or later is required.

If you don't meet the above criteria, but still feel that you can help with the project, feel free to contact us and tell us what you think you can help us do. Maxsi Distribution is a open project, for the community, by the community, we have no secrets and anyone wishing to participate in the development are welcome to do so.

If you would like to participate, please email and tell us your previous experiences, what you can do, your URL, work samples, and all the other stuff you usually put in resumes.

If you are interested in hosting for Maxsi Distribution, we are not currently in need, but do send us an email and we will get back to you when we need your services. We most certainly will.

If you simply wish to use Maxsi Distribution, feel free to mail us as well and we will get back to you when it goes live. Modding teams participating in the development of Maxsi Distribution will have early access to it.

Thank you for your interest in Maxsi Distribution.
