Compatibilities, Compatibilities, Compatibilities..

What you fail to understand by reading is that I will never mod. I'm not a modder ok ? I would appreciate if you remeber this once and for all. Modders are for making mods. Users are for using their mods. This is how things work. And I would be glad if you stop accusing me for wanting good to become better. But your silly remarks and offers does not fit the subject nor the title of the thread.

I don't mean to be rude, and I don't mean to offend you. But, this statement is absolutely insane.

Modders are for making mods? What are we, some kind of slaves? Plus, I don't appreciate Sailor Steve's statements being called silly since what he says is right on the mark if you ask me.

You got the right idea, I suppose the best reaction would be humor.

Grown in a lab for this very purpose, perhaps?
Or constructed maybe, like Cylons.
Are you a Cylon SteelViking?

This is the only reaction I can possibly muster at this point:

You're not making any friends here.

We'll leave the difference, or similarity, between stating "I'm not a modder" and "I can't be bothered to learn" out of it, but that kind of excludes you from making any demands, or even voicing these kinds of expectations.


At any rate, we should see more cooperation as the game matures. Everyone is starting off with smaller projects, building upon them and expanding, while others do the same. Eventually it will reach a point where individual projects are considered complete, and integration of them can begin. Trying to keep things compatible while new versions are being released constantly is like bailing water from a sunken boat; you can't keep up.

We don't even know if this is the final version yet.

I'm also expecting to see more cooperation between moders soon. But actually I'm not demanding to make me a mod or make them compatible as for me only. Don;t know how such interpretation got famous around here.. But if a raise of a question about compatibilities is to be considered as a demand then close this thread and hide it. And pls somebody liberate ppl from thoughts that wanting a bit more than it is will leave them with nothing..

I think it's more a case of your phrasing of the statements that makes it sound like a demand. For example, 'I'm expecting to see more cooperation' sounds a bit like you are demanding it. If you'd said 'What I'd like to see is more cooperation', or even 'I'm hoping to see more cooperation' it would sounded softer.

You just came over as a little direct, that's all and that can come accross as demanding.

[Harmsway!]

Listen all you modders. Stay in your place and don't come out until you finished our mod demands. If you ever want to see your love ones again you won't quit until your done. And forge us up some plates for $20 bills while your at it.

The Mod Mob.

You...EXPECT? You say you aren't demanding that someone make you a specific mod, but you are demanding that people do things the way you say they should.

I'm not a modder either, in that I've not created one single mod. I've converted some files from one format to another so my favorite sound mod from SH2 could end up in SH3 and SH4, and I've collected a bunch of neat Loading Screens together and used someone else's program to group them all together, and I've called them mods. But I don't consider myself a modder.

But you know what? When I wanted certain SH3 mods to work together I asked - not demanded, but asked - if anyone could help me understand how to do that. You could do the same, or you could ask politely if any modder could make certain mods work together.

Instead you criticize the people who bust their asses for you and me for not doing it "right", by your standards. You ask if anyone "has the balls" to force modders to do it your way. Now you insist that you will never mod, as if that's something to brag about.

No, actually modders aren't "for" any purpose at all. They're people who do something they want to do, for their own reasons. If you're not willing to learn to do something yourself, you have no right whatever to insist that someone else do it the way you say they should.

But your silly remarks and offers does not fit the subject nor the title of the thread.

And your comments are not silly. They come across as arrogant and rude. As the old saying goes, "You'll catch a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar". You might get more cooperation if you learn to ask nicely rather than insult the very people you want help from.

^^^Thank you Sailor Steve for injecting some sanity back into this thread.
