PurpleGaga27 37 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Someone developed and released it in China allowing any modder to copycat any asset from one mod to your own created mod with just one click. Now this isn't allowed unless one asks permission from the original author(s) of any mod. The thread from PPMSite forums explains the ordeal: http://ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38299&postorder=asc Whatever you do, I recommend you don't use it at all. I hope this doesn't happen to C&C3 Mod SDK and RA3 Mod SDK. Edited August 25, 2014 by zocom7 Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted August 26, 2014 It's China. They do this **** all the time. Best to just ignore them since there's nothing we can really do to stop them. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted August 26, 2014 There is always a way to deal with those mofos... Report them on ModDB and watch them cry. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted August 27, 2014 lol, Chinese mods don't get on moddb. They stick to their own little corner. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) lol, Chinese mods don't get on moddb. They stick to their own little corner. I recall some Chinese kid making a mod for RA3 on ModDB. He used so many assets that were stolen from other mods or they at least looked like that. Many comments he got were nukes, to which he responded in broken English (I think he was saying he wasn't a thief, the usual bull****). Those screenshots eventually got taken down, IIRC, with all that is left being images with mutilated assets from TW, TT, SupCom and SC2. Some Contra rips survived, too. No update in 3 years. http://www.moddb.com/mods/into-chaos Edited August 27, 2014 by Plokite_Wolf Share this post Link to post

AZ-Stalker 88 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) What about personal use, if somebody were to rip out various assets from certain mods and keep it quiet online while playing a combined mod at home? Edited August 27, 2014 by AZ-Stalker Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I don't think anybody would frown much on that if the ripper would even speak about it, as long as it's not uploaded somewhere. It's the unpermitted use in public that hurts because it's like saying you made something when you didn't. People nowadays don't bother working hard, they just resort to unethical methods. Asset thievery is probably as old as modding itself Edited August 27, 2014 by Plokite_Wolf Share this post Link to post
