The entire presentation with the exception of a small amount of text located miles down the path... imply that you have built the GW/GWX mod that is a base for your work. Also remove your name from the splash screen. GWX is a result of months of work done by many towards a common goal. You won't see my name on the splash page... or anyone else's in one of our "official releases." If you are concerned about users... then they don't need to see your name as soon as the game begins to load.
2) You assume full responsibility for any user problem as a result of using your mod... and do not take offense when we advise players to uninstall your mods when they come to us for help. You have GOT to understand how confusing this makes things for players... especially new ones.
3) Stop playing "poor Carotio" and stop whining about how you feel that we are swallowing you up. To many people it simply looks like another attack on GW/GWX because GW/GWX has had some success. This approach from you is old and tired. No doubt from all your cheery words... it is this that keeps you up at night modding away. (unhealthy for you) The "martyr" approach isn't going to work.
4) Back to point one... It is fine if you want to release your personal tweaks as an overlay mod for GWX... Just make them available at your site WITHOUT the GW/GWX mod itself being present to at least cut down on confusion. As you say... many people are going to make mods for GWX. If they break key files... we will say so. This is not a personal matter.
An apology means nothing when the offending behavior is willfully continued.
I am out of time for this for now... other matters are pressing.

1+4: It was never meant from my side that I wanted to present GWX as my mod, just because I put GW/GWX on my site, but as an extra download option! However, to reach out from my side:
The GW and GWX mod has been removed from my side now! However, I have written links towards the official site,
http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX/, or
http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/, so users know where to get them! This should not be confusing or offending to anyone! I hope we can agree on that?
1: So any loading sceen other than yours: if the screen is without my name, say it's from an ingame screenshot instead, would that offend you as well, or was it simply because my name was on it? If it's just the name, then consider it removed!
What about a loading screen with two or several images, where the GWX intro.tga is one of them (still without my name!)?
2: if any user adressing any GWX team member in a private message with a problem, when using my mod, then I have no problem that you'll recommend to get rid of it! If a user asks his question in the forum, and I don't see it, then adress him/her to me, and I'll try help him/her out! If it's inside one of my threads, then I'll help out with answers!
3: You can't sincerely mean that! If a major group of people attacked you, you would centainly also feel hunted, hmmm... maybe you ought to start up a career in a II U-Boot and go to the English Channel on the surface in plain daylight in 1945, then you would get the feeling...
4: if people mod your files, and the modding has side effects, I suggest you say, what the modder should be aware of in detail, like me having to mod SCR and RND also when modding DefSide.cfg, instead of just saying this mod breaks everything!
Well, my site is now without your mod, so I will take your advice and go to bed! And not mod during the Christmas either...
