Just for the record. I had received enough emails (19 and counting) saying that I stole other peoples work and claimed them as my own.
To all: What did I say in my first post before any of the downloads started?
I take no credit for any of the work done here.
I did all these conversions so that people with 1.4 could enjoy the same mods as 1.5 users (yes some mods had already been released, my bad.
ETR3(SS) I'm sorry you're getting the blame for this but your work is already listed and I should have looked a little harder before posting. I was just going to remove the links to your mods until I saw those several other emails after your post. I just said screw it at that point and took them all out.
To you and others. Sorry for deleting the text files. I had deleted those long ago to save space. Again, not my intention to steal any work.
For the other people: you know who you are....
As for the ETIQUETTE GUIDELINES... I didn't steal them, I didn't take credit for them, I didn't release them on another site, I didn't make them for another game, and I didn't use mods from the bonus mod section here. And I am too damn broke to be getting any money from them.
Ok, so I didn't ask 15,000 people for their permission to convert a mod that has either been lost by dead links here or the topic has been dead since 2006.
I wont name names but one of you stated that what I was doing was taking copyrighted work and openly giving it away. That is against the law and you will be sued in court.
Really? I made all this for the game it came out of. If that's the case we should all be sued. Don't you think?
Here's the deal people:
I saw enough people asking for links and no one answers back. A lot of them were 1.4 users asking which version it was for, yet no answer. I had posted these to give those SH4 fans an answer they were looking for and more. I thank those people who downloaded those mods. 3,154 total downloads in 4 days. If I were you, I wouldn't post them anywhere without asking permission or you'll end up like me.
Sorry it all have to come down to this but I have deleted all those emails you sent me, took down all my mods, killed any links, removed mods from mediafire, and took out the pictures so that no one has any more room to complain. I washed my hands of it, I suggest you do the same.
If you are one of those lucky ones who got any of these mods before I took them off, I cant tell you what to do with them here, but I would suggest not sharing any of them. I wont be distrubiting any thing out personally via pm or email from here on out.
I do have to say this, This sure is one hell of a way to treat a new guy. Especially one who is learning (on his own mind you) how to modify, convert, and share the work of everyone involved with the world. 3 years of work just went down the drain for the rest of the world. Just because my screen name is on the post, doesn't mean that I claim it as my own. If those of you would have just read all the text in the first post, this would have all been made clear and would not have been any issue. Instead you see your mod in the lists and accuse me of stealing along with everything else. Way to go you F'ing morons. This was my first release here at SUBSIM. And now my last.
ETR3(SS) That last part didn't apply to you sir. By the way, I respected your wishes and removed the links you requested of me....and then some.
I'm done. Ban me if you want. I really don't care anymore. If this is how new modders and SH4 fans are treated, then I guess I really don't need to be here.
