Ban Modding CIU or not?

[az10197]

If everyone wants to “protect” Mod CIU, then ban all Mods behavior altogether for fairness.
It too easy to blocking any modifying behavior, by verify the integrity of the files by comparing the SHA-256.

okay how is that going to help exactly

[OneWingLunarian]

ok, i’ve chosen to actually waste some time and read all this and i can safely say:

collaboration was said 7 times

Okay, but seriously now. I’ve actually read the whole damn post and most of it was just reusing the same points with nothing new, but reworded.

Yes, I know this whole thing was slapped into an AI Generator, but here’s some things I’ll point out, even though some of the things I point out are probably just nonsense and aren’t actually anything important.

The thing that takes up probably the whole page and then some

@az10197

However, a group of modders has chosen to keep their modding program private, justifying their actions by claiming that it prevents misuse and the creation of potentially offensive content. This essay seeks to refute these misconceptions and demonstrate the importance of fostering a collaborative and open modding community.

So basically, you wrote all this, just because you didn’t get IAMT?
In the style of a school essay? (hey, you literally called this an essay)

@az10197

Allowing players to access and manipulate game files not only enhances their gaming experience but also provides an outlet for artistic expression.

And potentially breaking the game.

@az10197

An open modding community not only benefits players but also serves as a valuable resource for game developers. Valuable insights can be gained from observing the modding community’s creations, which can inform future updates or even inspire the development of official expansions or DLCs. Collaborating with modders can lead to exciting possibilities, creating a win-win situation for both players and developers.

@az10197

When modders choose to keep their modding program private and do not update broken download links, they are essentially being selfish and disregarding the needs of the community.

@az10197

By providing access to the modding program and promptly addressing issues such as broken links, modders demonstrate their commitment to the community’s well-being and contribute to its growth.

Or perhaps, they have a life and don’t spend all day modding the game.

That’s just plagiarism.
Also, “inform future updates”???

And, the times you’ve mentioned “Collaboration” or “Collaborative”:

@az10197

This essay seeks to refute these misconceptions and demonstrate the importance of fostering a collaborative and open modding community.

@az10197

By encouraging a collaborative modding environment, game developers can tap into the vast talent pool of their player base, leading to the creation of unique and diverse mods that enhance the game’s longevity and popularity.

@az10197

Addressing Misuse Through Collaboration

@az10197

Instead, collaboration between the game developers and the modding community can help address this issue effectively.

@az10197

Collaborating with modders can lead to exciting possibilities, creating a win-win situation for both players and developers.

@az10197

In conclusion, the misconceptions surrounding game modding, perpetuated by a group of secretive modders, can be refuted through fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity, and transparency.

@az10197

Modders should understand that selfish actions limit the potential for growth and unity, while openness and collaboration lead to a brighter and more exciting gaming landscape.

@az10197

Embracing diversity in skill levels and approaches to modding can lead to unexpected and exciting creations, enriching the gaming experience for everyone.

it sure will

@iIfireIi

if modders approve they’ll make it for you

I’m afraid that I’ve to say this once again, but some modders doesn’t have their own responsibility for making mod and send it to someone.

They just see it basically mod, and sent it to whoever requested, and done, next!

That’s also an unfair advantage for who wanted to have their own first texture mod with some help.

If they have responsibility for this, simply just said “report if error exists” (ryxt once said) right after sent the mod.

But NO. The problem is during making mod, there’s no warning or notification to source senders that they’ve to change this and that to make it load properly, or which texture can’t be used, etc. They just put it in, modify the ini preload a bit, and done.

I rarely make any mod request because of that. One of the modders already did the same thing I said.

[Amiko]

But I’ll keep standing against this.
Give it public will just cause iA wasted more time on non-existent bugs.

[moon2004]

From @VerMishelb and @Francis reply in Weapon Reskin Library V2.0:

[az10197]

u thinking IA is stupid, they will believe some stupid modder report the non-exits bug?

[iIfireIi]

He wouldn’t know if it’s non-existent or it exists sometimes.

[Amiko]

@az10197

thinking IA is stupid

Prove that I did
The only purpose of your topic is to threaten the tool dev or some people have it to release the tool as public.

[OneWingLunarian]

you just ate the entire AI generated essay just to replace it with a poll that has probably almost no context

[az10197]

the poll will decide everything

[ordinary_ryxt]

[az10197]

ok i admit i did it

[OneWingLunarian]

that’s not context

that’s consent

[az10197]

everyone can call me a “kid” or “stupid player” or more. I will ignore all

[ordinary_ryxt]

that’s also not context

[moon2004]

I don’t playing mods because normal CIU is already good enough, in fact.
Also, since this game is MMO, there are some limitations about modding.

[OneWingLunarian]

couldn’t have figured that out

[az10197]

If the choice “No” won i will not “made drama” or said anything about modding CIU, i will be “loser” and back to a normal players but that not mean “ended”.
