I think Renegade comes up saying, doesn't matter, they are in westwood property format and belong to everybody (since we broke EULA so westwood stuff is ours so anything derivative counts) so I'll just take them thx, regardless of maker of content or his desire to share them.

You people ALL make me facepalm.

The rampant stupidity I see here regarding securing things that can't be secured is astounding.

Once you publish something on the internet, its free to everyone. You can't take it down once up for its already distributed everywhere and in peoples hands.

Nothing is secure people. Wake up and smell the roses. You can call it secure but I will bet you ten to one that someone out there will break the security on it. All you can do is take steps to safe guard something, but even then its a useless move as you can't secure anything still, and as aristurtle mentioned, there is only so much you can do before you break the game down into a unusable pile of donkey turds.

So in essence, everyone here against the tutorial has wasted their breath, the information already out there now. Once it was released, it was game over for the security, and even then it was most likely already out there buried in the web.

That is my two cents.

Because uh right now you have no reason to care. Maybe if you'd spent years creating a total conversion where every last graphic had been replaced and each faction made entirely unique, you'd care.

Actually people can withdraw from releasing our mods or assets to any people.

They you will whine that no assets freely avaliable.

You say were stopping the blood flow in this community with our viewpoints on protections but your comment is like shooting a patient in the heart.

Sharing with people who can't even respect someones creativity is pointless.

Also your comment is fail

Look at Pirate Bay and Napster before you spout more bs.

Ok this is my arguement.

If you are simply gonna rip my mod assets and pass it off as your own work why should any of us bother to make mods?

Why shouldn't we all sit on ours asses waiting for someone else to do all the hardwork be it graphical, coding or other talents.

Woah, hey, back up here! Who said anything about passing others' work off as one's own? I certainly didn't. Plagarism is the worst. I'm talking about examining others' work and learning from it.

Lol, you seriously think people are gonna use this tutorial for there "own works"

If I really wanted to learn about hex editing I would do it myself, I would search on the internet and download the right tools.

This above process is enough to deter more rippers but if you have a process easily explained, this becomes less of a deterrence.

This tutorials makes it easier for people to rip. At least before they had to search for the instructions which requires effort.

Also this thread has had several people arguing that no permission is need to use our work cos WW made it all regardless of our effort.

Permission, credits means jack all if the person originally said, no don't use my assets.

Look, it's a simple matter of pro/con.

Pro:
more people learn coding tricks because of no more Cartmanland-style "I've got a neat INI trick and you can't use it yourself, haha" crap.
more resources are available for private mods.

Con:
some jackass might rip stuff and release it in a public mod that nobody will bother to play anyway.

Con:

- People stop bothering to release mods because they fear people will rip it and possibly disguise it so people will not know its rip

- No one learns or wants to learn anything because they can simply copy and paste to save time, no new things are learnt in the community because there is no "new ideas" be it small or big ones

- The subject of crediting authors for work is tarnished, before they can use the WW made the core therefore you made nothing

- Peoples time is not considered anything of worth. There is no point in using time to learn new things.

Rofl does your arguement have any point? I contributed to the community with tutorials and constructive criticism for art modders.

I don't just read posts and take downloads without commenting.

This is faulty at best. This was the case in the time before any protection and mods still went out like crazy. Clearly a lie.

Quote:

Ninety-nine times out of one hundred, your idea has probably been done, tried or suggested. Clearly another huge lie, or at the very least, complete bullshit.

Quote:

False. I don't need to elaborate on this since it's clearly a bogus argument.

Quote:
- Peoples time is not considered anything of worth. There is no point in using time to learn to new things.

What's to really learn any more? There's really nothing left anymore short of digging into the EXE, and only a handful of people can do that.

Nice AG. Zero for four. You're a real king at bad arguments.

(most of this debate is futile, what is done is done)

and AG, why so much ad hominem? The focus of the attack is supposed to be the argument, not the man behind it.

(and as I stated before, coding in RA2/YR doesn't exist. You have a pre-defined list of tags you can use. You cannot lay claim to the effects of the combinations or single use of pre-defined tags.)

AG, give it a rest. You've become nothing more then an insane loon babbling and complaining in the community over the past few years. Honestly, Von has been of more use to me for my mods then you can imagine. Instead of sitting oh so high-and-mighty on your internet perch and accusing him of doing nothing, why don't you answer the critiscisms leveled against you?

Pathetic. Really pathetic.

So whats the difference since you guys seem to be of the main community.

I'm sorry but my PC is connected to the Internet so .. technically it counts.

Because I can access the internet I seem to have the right to gain whatever information may be on it be it the private or public domain.

But you didn't actually publish your PC to the internet, so I don't think the example applies.

You sure do. And I have the same right. So I can help myself to the contents of your hard drive, your browser histories, and your cookies. And naturally your mod files.

All I say is there is a fine line between freedom of information and privacy.

This thread overall gives me the impression that even using passwords for mod staff topic discussions is against the community.

I mean why even have security?

There is a fine line, but since the tutorial isn't designed to do everything by itself nor does it tell you how to rip the contents of a mod, I see nothing wrong with it. It's all about interpreting the information given.

Oh, and the main reason why I did this was that PixelOps went down and I wanted some of the resources from it, so I cracked CannisRules's MIXes instead to get them. I would have done it eventually regardless, though: RA2DIY has some nice assets but they sometimes use VK's utility.


Thats intention of this tutorial and its circumvents the users original non-permission of sharing his mod assets.

The question I should ask is: why should I bother making my mod public knowledge instead of keeping it between friends if people are just gonna treat my time and effort like nothing?

Also since moderators see my IP technically I am publishing my PC?

But considering he's getting public assets for a private mod, what should it matter? Even if he was getting private assets, he's not using it in a public modification. The private use of such assets never meet the public, and don't cause problems.

Edit: Aren't you kinda just publishing an address, a location to your PC and not your PC. Now, if you gave us specs, serials for parts and software, design info, etc. then it would be more publishing your PC. IMO, at any rate.

There is, but when you make something public, privacy disappears.
Private and Public are two distinct, mutually exclusive concepts.

If you want something to be public, you lose the privacy.
If you want privacy, you lose publicity.

Its that simple, you cannot have it both ways.

(and stop clinging to your idea that your use of ini tags, warrants ownership. There is no coding involved in Yuris Revenge, only the manipulation of INI tags. Not only that, nothing will stop someone who wants to find out how you did X thing in Y mod)

I'm not attaching any ownership to the ini, the vxl format or shp or whatever.

I got ownership over my time spent modding.

This arguement means making anything public is pointless.

I said I wasn't against private modding. I was just saying this make public modding so much easier.

Don't be surprised if more noobs flood PPM about how there mod is a mix between the best cnc community mods.

You sir are a moron. I don't see any reason this thread needs to continue to be dragged through the sewage like it has been with your presence here.

From the moment you first posted in this thread all the way to now, all I heard is you going 'BOOHOO'

I mean you honestly thought it was a secure method? I'm sure anyone with half the brain or a book on hand could have cracked the damn mix open already and had their way with it.

If you want security, buy a toaster. This thread has lost its purpose after the first post, and deserves to be cut off after the first post and locked.

You're taking offense for no reason. You didn't modify RA2 because WW's time and effort were like nothing. Quite the opposite.

But why would you make a massive TC or big public mod, which I know were two thing mentioned for protection, private for the few to test? Is modding not about getting your idea out to everyone else and letting everyone else see how you invision things? Not about making 100x better mod than everyone else and competing to make the best presentation.

Modding was fun, tis why I got into it. And these kinds of arguments show that people take it a bit more serious than it should be.

Yes, AG, because it's my sole purpose in this community to find out which openly discussed facts you missed and inform you about them.

Well, so far, all you managed to do were personal attacks like these and straw men. Looks like there is nothing about my actual argumentation you manage to disprove. *shrugs*

I got no problem with people using my mod for personal uses.

There issue is when they alter that mod and its get released outside the domain of ppm, renegade, revora or any of the other english modding sites.

Because currently, there is no way to discourage this pratice other then "trust" and "morals" as Volgin so put.

So basically, you're saying "screw the community, Chinese underground rippers must not have my voxels?"
Seriously, it's the typical DRM defense - somewhere, somehow, someone does bad stuff with your content. And because someone does it, everyone has to suffer.

Besides...mix protection is stopping me how, again, to copy out the rules and art, place some shps on the root level, add a credit.txt, and zip it all up as "my" mod?

As I said before - mix protection is an illusion.

Allied General wrote:
Also how many of these so call community members, just read and post comments and download free assets?

For one, if that's all they do, what do you care?
For two, if they're downloadable free assets, that's what they were made for, no?

Allied General wrote:
Few people ever give something back with the intention of people enjoying their finished product.

Yes, I am sure a modder who uses mix protection always releases his mod for the enjoyment of the community, and a modder who uses free assets automatically, inevitably, only does it for personal gain.

Because, you know, it's not like the coder to artist ratio has always been something like 100-1 in this community.
It's impossible the dude simply didn't find an artist.
It's impossible that the dude invested a lot of work in his inis.
It's impossible the posts he posted helped others on coding issues.
Clearly, because he never published an SHP but published a mod, he's ztyping leecher scum and should go die.

What says "ztype sharing" more than encrypting the archive?

Would you like to back that up?
Do you have any statistics, forum posts, collections of data or anything that proves that ripping was rampant and dramatically dropped off after the introduction of encryption, but would not have dropped had there not been any encryption?

Newsflash: This community has shrinked into a tiny speck of dust. Even if there was a statistic on ripping, which I highly doubt, the fact that the community itself shrinks automatically leads to there being less rippers. If you have 1% assholes, then you have 10 assholes in a 1000-people community, but only 1 asshole in a 100-people community.
None of you has proved so far that encryption made any difference in practice.
None of you has proved so far that encryption did anything but pissing off normal modders.

Congrats. Most ridiculous argumentation I've read in this thread so far.
By your logic, break-ins are directly to blame on those who produce skeleton keys and crowbars, and had they never done that, burglary would be lower.
And because locksmiths and lock producers are not roaming the night fighting crime, they have no right to complain their locks are getting broken.

Seriously. It's not Olaf van der Spek who is breaking Westwood's EULA by extracting, modifying and redistributing their assets, it's the modders.

You're the one who wants 100% distribution control, so frickin' work for it instead of leeching and building upon Westwood's assets and technology, and then pretending you built something so unique and revolutionary that it needs special protection.

Yet another attempt to circumvent arguing the point with meaningless misdirections.
I don't have a problem with the EULA.
I have a problem with hypocrites happily breaking Westwood's mixs, extracting, modifying and redistributing Westwood's content, building their entire "product" on Westwood's technology, but when it comes to let others even look at their mod, they're up in arms.

Sure there was. If there isn't any now, it must be a problem of the community as a whole - it worked before.
Of course, if the sole concern about a mod these days is "this is mine, how can I protect it from others?", it's no wonder there are no values left - only greed, vanity and entitlement.

Allied General wrote:
EA allows modding and stuff
because it increases sales

Yeah, I'm sure if you ever stand in trial, EA's lawyers will shake your hands for your contribution instead of pointing out just how many times you broke the EULA.

Inaction does not equal support.
If it did, why not go commercial? Come on, all you mix-protecting modders? Counter-strike had Valve's support and went on sale! If you truly think you have EA's support, make some cover art and sell your mod! Rolling Eyes

Allied General wrote:

Bullshit. If you did it out of goodwill, you wouldn't care if anyone looks at your stuff. You would spring to action if anyone tried to claim yours as his, but that would be it.
Protecting the mix, making sure no one can look at your preccccious is not a sign of goodwill - it's a sign of vanity.
If you were doing it out of fun, to improve the community, or any other noble goal, you couldn't care less if anyone looks at your stuff. You would be happy if a newb learned something from looking at your files.
But no, instead you lock everything down.

Bullshit. True for newer games, true for games like Half-Life.
But Westwood distinctly didn't facilitate mods - sure, EA ultimately realized they couldn't stop it and worked with the modders, but to pretend that every game studio always by default enjoys mods and that they always drive sales any significant amount is just baseless.

Of course, if you have any statistics that say the release of DeeZire caused a spike in RA2's sales, feel free to share.

How is this different from a ripper justifying his modified mod by saying "I was just distributing your mod further, man, and made the balance a little better..."?

Do you realize how ridiculous it is that you say balance updates are good and the original developers love them here, yet point out Iloo's "update" as a bad example of ripping below?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Oozing hypocrisy.
You think you're entitled to Westwood's stuff and pride yourself in helping them by keeping the game alive yaddayadda, yet when someone else does the exact same thing with your mod, you get pissy.

Again, since you'll likely try to spin my words in order to avoid the point: I am not in support of ripping, and I believe everyone deserves their due credit - just like we always admit Westwood's ownership of the games.
I just think it's ridiculous people like you gained every modding knowledge they have either directly or indirectly from accessing Westwood's asset, yet think they have some sort of moral right to protect their own derivates.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Unless you sat there alone in your room and randomly guessed all the knowledge you need to make a mod, you owe your modding knowledge to this community.
It's not a "donation" of your intellect if you help, because being in the community somehow commands you to do it.
It's the ztyping morally right thing, to give all your knowledge to those after you just like you gained all your knowledge from those before you.

And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that this concept of shared knowledge seems to be lost on the majority of today's "elite" is the direct reason ripping supposedly is rampant - if not even the bigshots understand the basic principles of community, if even they think they're somehow awesome when they drop a tidbit of knowledge every now and then - how the hell is the scum supposed to understand correct behavior?

Elerium-155 wrote:

So, like, if Iloo is taking your mix, extracts the assets, modifies everything, puts it back together, and distributes it as his version, he's an asshole ripper...

...but if you take Westwood's mix, extract the assets, modify everything, put it back together, and distribute it as your own version, you're an awesome modder with so much creativity that your mix needs to be protected so no one can steal your stuff.

...clearly you are being very logical.

Ripping is a moral crime. It's not a question of technicalities, it's a question of intent and measures. Of course you making a mod is different than Iloo making a mod of your mod. But only on a moral level. On the technical level, he was doing with your mod the exact same thing as you did with Westwood's game.

That is the entire point of my argumentation - banishing ripping as immoral, anti-community behavior, is perfectly logical - because it is hurting the core and the creativity of the community. But acting against the very same technical measures we use to create "first level" mods, pretending that when we access others' mixs that's fine, but when others access our mixs it's a crime, is just ztyping ridiculous and hypocritical.

Why shouldn't we all sit on ours asses waiting for someone else to do all the hardwork be it graphical, coding or other talents.

Again, making the ridiculous generalization that anyone accessing a mix file is automatically a ripper.

If you have evidence for that bogus claim, feel free to share it - put up or shut up.

And I could reply to all the other posts of you, AG, but this one demonstrates the problem quite well:
Allied General wrote:

You yourself claimed you were doing it for "goodwill" - what would you care?

And the arrogance is also showing - your mod is not secret information that you make public knowledge by releasing it. Your mod is an application of public knowledge.
Public knowledge gained by accessing unprotected mixes.

I got ownership over my time.

This arguement means making anything public is pointless.

I said I wasn't against private modding. I was just saying this make public modding so much easier.

Don't be surprised if more noobs flood PPM about how there mod is a mix between the best cnc community mods.

You are attaching ownership to the "code", or better put, use of ini tags to create effects within the game.

Anybody can do it, and there is only that 1 approach to doing it.

And making something public isn't pointless. When you put something into the public domain, you are providing content that can be used to entertain (via playing the mod), and teach (via looking at the mod assets)

And your concerns about public modding being made easier and the impending n00b mod apocalypse- that's just rhetoric.

This community's response to rippers can simply be described as brutal. Bans, almost unopposed flaming, and permanent destruction of reputation mean that the action of a ripper is a one time affair.

And as for it causing harm to mod, no, not likely. The likely reaction to such a thing might actually be raised curiosity. People would want to know what the component mods are like. Obviously they must be good if some retard couldn't stand not having all of them at once.

Would you like me to keep a straw men counter? Or do you just keep track of how many bales you have left?

You have free access. You can download it, you can modify it, go ahead and do it. But unless you are willing to turn the actual root mod development directory on your hard drive into an openly writable space, these are just more cheap attempts to deflect from the main issue: You think you are somehow entitled to protection, while Westwood isn't.

The people should simply note that the current material in public domain is simply lacking. Many voxels and SHPs don't follow the same styling, and therefore it is almost impossible to create a mod with each side being unique in their own way.

True, you can make your own assests, but most of the members of the community have talent only for a few (if more than one) parts of the moding areas. Mod requiered most if not all areas completed for the proffesional results.

What we need is a larger pool of public assets. Currently, despite the size of the one available, it is just too damn small.

Whats sad is that there was an attempt made (a whole board iirc) for mods to dump unused and useless assets.

It is hardly used. Surely you modders don't just hit perfection the first time? No, they just horde it and say ztype you to us. the bottom feeders.

While ripping is good proof what happens when you DON'T protect mod work and I had enough of it already so must i bear it again if i dont fill your 100% requirement?

What I don't get is respecting the wishes of the mod team- if the creator says "you can edit my mod" double props to him. But for other mods if we don't want you to use assets, please respect our wishes encrypting. Demanding asset release by force is wrong..
