/v/lancer: A mod for bros by bros

Reading comprehension really isnt your strong point, is it? You cited the first video when asking for a download. After that, you cited the 2nd and 3rd asking why we were advertising other mods as our work. Any thought about the comment posted with them would lead you to thew conclusion that they are not of the mod.

And when I make a general statement about the last two videos being from Discovery I mean it as a general statement. Not directed at you.

I’m ashamed of you bros. You have loads of modellers and texturers, why in the world would you steal things?
And I thought you were pretty cool back on that old server…

This is a rather pathetic reaction… I honestly had expected better, especially after Pastaspace’s disclaimer. You’re exactly like them, from what I can gather.

Ironic, isn’t it?

I’d like to give you a good advice. Remove every Crossfire content from your mod now, because if I see your mod somewhere containing stuff from my mod then you will end up with the worst trouble you can imagine. And I definitly dont care about how much traffic you have or how big 4chan is.

So take this advice, remove the Crossfire content, do the same if the other modders request it and we will be fine. (and for gods sake stop talking about other peoples work in such a respectles way)

@ FriendlyFire

Actually, considering what /b/ (The other 4channers) are like, this is actually very civil for 4chan, normally we’d be bombared, DDOSed, and have the forums filled with various shock images.

@ OPR8R

You… might not actually want to do that, challenging 4chan is never a good idea, /b/ is kind of scary when it comes to retaliation…

You can be sure of that i want to do that if neccessary.

Anything you can do, we can do better.

We can do anything better than you.

obviously not, if so you wouldnt have to steal

Exactly why we never stole from YOU.

Cut the crap now and let’s try resolving this matter instead of bickering?

What do you want to resolve FF? They are using at least one of my starspheres and probably even more. They have not even corrected an texture overlay after stealing it. The only way to resolve it is when they remove that and everything else that they probably have taken from my mod.

We honestly don’t care if you don’t advertise us. Even if we did steal something, we’re not making a profit on it. We’re just trying to have fun, a concept you don’t seem to understand. Get over yourself, your site isn’t worth getting support from anyway, and all three people who regular this forum aren’t worth playing with either.

There is nothing you can do, anyway. I’m sure you stole from someone else’s mod, or would steal from someone else’s mod, if you made a mod yourself. Modeling and texturing and perfecting everything isn’t worth the time when there’s free resources.

Erm… No? It’s not because you’re doing something for fun (remember we ALL are) that you should steal people’s hard work. Look at free software; it’s available to anyone, but you cannot claim it as your own. That’s just a total lack of respect or ethics.

And I would never steal from another mod. Use with permissions? Sure, why reinvent the wheel? But take what I want with no regard for the person who put hours into the work? Not a chance.

your site isn’t worth getting support from anyway

Why exactly are you here then?

I am here to join this lovely, welcoming community of modders and all-around great people.

1.) Ask the authors if they agree that their ressources get used by your mod. If they agree, there is no reason to remove them
2.) Remove all the contents for which mod authors didn’t grant you permissions.

Seriously, I mean, if you are making a mod, a application or whatever and spend a lot of work for it, would you like to see people claming this work as their own?

What if I, for example, just copy your mod and name it “Bas’ uber mod for th4 pwn00rz”? Would like to see this happen? This isn’t a treatment, but you might should think about this situation. Would you like such a thing? Can’t imagine you do.

And a friendly warning from me: No matter, how many fans you have, how many players are at your server, there ARE important reasons why you shouldn’t lost a friendship to The Starport.
There aren’t many places where you will get modding support for Freelancer, especially if you are stuck with a problem, and moreover, you won’t get access to the admins internal area. Do I have to mention that sentimental topics are handled there? Those are, for instance, server security, cheaters, cheat protection, server tools and many more.

Oh, and btw: FriendlyFire has created a mod with a devteam as well. So he knows about what he is speaking.

Well for one there’s a difference between ripping a model or texture, which is what you’re implying the /v/lancer devs did, and ripping a whole mod.

Also, “Bas’ uber mod for th4 pwn00rz” is a great name, I think I’ll use it for the mod I’m making.

To be honest.
I’d actually like it, /v/lancer is made according to the specifications of /v/, its made for the bros, so I really don’t care if anything unique to it was stolen, considering it wouldn’t do much. Hell, many of the features we’d LOVE to see in other mods.

iirc this how the /v/lancer project went from being a discovery server hosted by some guy into a real effort to make something that was genuinely fun to play anyway.

e: Also if people had just said “hey can you credit any stuff you’ve yoinked from stuff I’ve made” instead of “HOLY SHIT A MOD THEFT HAS TRANSPIRED” things would have been totally chill from the start.
