Man, I'm starting to hate these threads. I am not pointing at the mod itself, but at what these threads eventually turn into. That is, racist flame wars. The Chinese like compilations. And they like grouping everything together. That doesn't mean I'm for taking work from other people.
Okay, now people start to nag about credits. So what if the chinese did give credits? Would the downloaders know who the creators are? All creators want recognition, but they won't recognise any members from ENGLISH FORUM anyways.Does it matter by then?
Stop these damn pointless flame wars flaming the Chinese as pirates acting like idiots. They deserve credit for making their stuff too. The Chinese may not really mind or even know if the modders here take their work, but simply no one here did so to prove whether they would ask you for THEIR PERMISSION. Just because modders here like realistic stuff and some are being ****ing racists, they hate all stuff made by the Chinese and feel disgrace for even looking at them (say, YB)
If you are to take any action, there really should be a bridge between the English forums and the Chinese forums. See, that officially the Chinese agreed to buy the legal copies and closed all crack threads. And this proves that there could be stuff to be done.
I suggest all the modders should group together and take proper action, find a Chinese person at the english forums willing to help, speak to the Chinese forum moderators, and post a sticky on the Chinese forums stating what items and who made them and agree that anyone using the stuff had to put proper credits for the creators. But also, stop these retarded racism flame wars.
You're saying this because of pure logic; why not have more, better mods?
Well, to answer, you have to have made a mod before. Spent hours working on your projects- in the end, no one really makes a mod so they can spend hours and hours on it. We make mods because we get a nagging to see something done, and, who knows, help the community. At the end of the day, its the messages like "Hey man, great mod" that keep us doing it.
On the other side of the picture, its people like you, who say credit doesn't matter, or people like Expand that blatantly steal work from others.
"Would the downloaders know who the creaters are?" Yes. I think almost everyone here knows Ancient, just like everyone knows Markus. Why the hell should people make mods if your average people who can form coherent paragraphs, follow that mentality? They're making free content here, the least you could do is throw them a "Thanks to".
The most? I'll leave that to your imagination.
