how will the ubi-server react on self-made mods like missions and weather and water mods and such?
any idea or should we not worry about that?

btw,glad to be back after long gone!

LOL that is a tough question.
the devs said its moddable.
if trhe only thing to do with the servers is the savegame files, we can do all we please.

How will the modders know when the updates/patches end , its online .

another one(yes,i know,that's fast but i have lots of questions):

ubisoft says,quote;
"What if Ubisoft decides not run these online services in the future? Will my game stop working?
If any service is stopped, we will create a patch for the game so that the core game play will not be affected."
so,wouldn't it be possible to create that mod in the community?

So let me get this straight.. you are saying you want the modders to crack the DRM, and you are posting this on Subsim?

No, he asked if it was possible. At least, that's how I choose to view his question.

I don't think the modders would be able to do it. First, it's probably in the executable, and would need to actually be patched out. Mods change the data, not the executable.

Second, if someone did it in a mod instead of a patch, they'd be a cracker, not a modder anyway.

You can try a word dance all you like, he is talking about cracking the DRM. Whether he is saying we should or asking if it is possible is irrelevant.

No, genius, he's saying that if the developers ever stop hosting the DRM online service, they would (prior to shutting off the DRM service) release a patch for the game such that the DRM service was no longer required for play.

It's pretty standard practice.

Thanks for the insult

Let me highlight the part you seem to have missed, this is in reference to the hypothetical patch to remove DRM.

Which means he wants the community to create a "mod" that enables core gameplay without a connection to the internet. That is a crack.
