Some of you guys might know it already, some don't, now official:
A3-2017mod is canceled/scrapped/torned apart/aborted
Statement and Reasons, why we came to this conclusion, can be found on
meager surge
Sad news with 2017 mod, I was looking forward to it, good luck in the future guys
elder parrot
good luck, but i predict that it will never work out with UT either. A step from a mod to a full game is huge, and often totally underestimated.
the amount of work you have to do in the art and sound department alone is gargantuan... compared to fiddling about with some arma stuff.
hybrid thicket
there is a lot of stuff that can be bought with money though

@elder parrot Who said, that we move 2017 to UT?! oO We will NOT do that (we also mentioned that clearly in our announcement).
north fern
Several (more known) arma modders have moved to UT engine; could be usefult to have a chat with them about the transition, challenges, opportunities and benefits.
jagged arrow
Yep, thats always a benefit (+Yeah, we are in contact with a few)
elder parrot
im talking about work in general. Starting from scratch once again (iirc you used a fair share of A2 assets as base?) is even bigger
ive heard of several teams (not just from arma) go start on something in Unreal... and never to be heard of again

hi. anybody knows if there's a way in ACE to disable RHS warning without installing compatibility pack?
compatibility pack is for modules I don't have installed in ACE, so I don't need it (I can't even use it without those modules)

what RHS warning?
bleak vine
"you're not running rhs compatibility addon" warning
hard jungle
it is easier to use the compatibility addon even you don't need it than to wrap your brain around to remove the warning

but compatibility addon is for ballistic/repair/refuel modules
I don't want those modules, but it requires me to install them :/

@blissful rain Does RHS allow people to remove mods and add to a units personal mod pack with permission?
blissful rain
@long geyser - what do you mean by "does RHS allow people to remove mods"?
mellow hawk
@long geyser you cant rip content from RHS and put to your own mod and redistribute, if you want MK 18 or any rifle from RHS you can make your mod to require RHS to work.
long geyser
k
blissful rain
you are allowed to use only the pbos you need, but don't expect to work as it should. You are not allowed to redistribute it however with modifications. You can add it to a personal mod pack however...
@GeekyGuy5401#9206
@mellow hawk
^
maiden apex
What he means is not permitted to modify the contents of RHS pbos and repack and redistribute the modified .pbo, or take contents out of rhs .pbos to pack in to a new file. You can take a whole, unaltered RHS .pbo from the RHS modfolder without the ones you don't need, but the .pbo probably wont work standalone because most files have various dependencies on other files in RHS
long geyser
Ah so you can take the MK 18 mod 1's pbo
and use it in a simple @folder
but not de.pbo the file
and then repack it.
Only using the ones we actually use.
candid yacht
That, and no guarantees that the MK 18 MOD 1-only PBO will work since it may call files that are in other RHS PBOs
long geyser
So I'd need to de.pbo the file
to find it's dependencies?
then add the required dependencies?
whatever those .pbo's are.
candid yacht
See da12thMonkey's answer
maiden apex
the mk18s are in rhsusf_weapons3.pbo, but they are configured in rhsusf_weapons_c.pbo and require various texture files from the regular m4s in rhsusf_weapons.pbo
you could probably take weapons and weapons 3 and write your own config file and
long geyser
Would just using the dependecies reduce the size of our mods pack?
maiden apex
weapons_c.pbo has a lot of dependencies because it points to all weapons in the mod. Hence why i said it's not easy to just take one or two pbo files
long geyser
This is the one the group is using now.
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21096
The old sound processing system is being used
They want the new sound-processing system that BI uses
which I believe RHS uses?
maiden apex
yeah, but also weapon sounds have their own .pbo and that's quite a big one since it contains lots of audio data for almost everything in the mod
blissful rain
again,
- you CAN use whatever .pbos from the ones provided
- you cannot reverse engineer and extract only some of the data from the .pbos (as in a single weapon)
@long geyser ^
long geyser
That I understand but can you open the pbo?
To check it's dependencies?
"What it references"
blissful rain
no
blissful rain
you do understand that it is a total conversion and a such the files for a single weapons are "stored" across a number of different pbos
blissful rain
not allowed
long geyser
And they are "resistent" to change.
blissful rain
repacking implies unpacking

same for distribution

What taking mods and putting the folders / pbo's into a seperate folder
blissful rain
i cannot comment of stuff i don;t know about, but i do plan to find out
long geyser
then distributing it IS against?
blissful rain
repacking means fideling inside the pbos
long geyser
No they did not do that.
blissful rain
not moving pbos from A to B
i do plan to find out though no worries, but this is besides the point of this channel

It has been almost six months since our last update and we know you have all been eagerly awaiting our next patch. This has been an unusually long development stretch without a release for us, but we wanted to bring a bit more to the table than previously. This update will not only bring an array of new vehicles, weapons, items and features but also delivers a whole new faction/mod.
Some of you have already noticed Serbian servicemen in some of our teasers, but we have never formally announced their official inclusion into RHS. Today however we would like to change that. In the past, βThe Serbian Armed Forces Modβ team has successfully collaborated with RHS on the creation of GREF. This collaboration has resulted in a very strong bond and the eventual merger of their talented members into our team. We are very proud to introduce RHS: Serbian Armed Forces as a new mod in the family. It has been able to completely leverage the assets of other RHS packages all while delivering a very varied and unique base of itβs own content. We are very excited to have them within our team and believe you all will be too. RHS: SAF like RHS: GREF, requires AFRF and USAF to play.```Alongside this patch comes our transition towards the Steam Workshop, where this and all future updates will be primarily located. This means that the updaters that you guys so loved/hated will no longer be supported . We will be thinking of re-implementing some sort of a solution for server deployment for those of you that run on Linux systems, but that will come later. Our site will also receive a facelift at some point to reflect the transition to SW and could right now contain outdated information.
To get you started on discovering some of the new items and features in 0.4.2, Richards has been kind enough to make a very thorough overview video. We suggest you have a look while the mods are downloading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH1ENRfwXdk
Lastly we would like to thank you all for voting for us in the ModDB Mod of the Year Awards! Thanks to your effort we were able to take 9th place, which is a great honor for us, as a top 10 placement for an Arma mod does not happen every year. The Mod of the Year awards were even mentioned in a recent Forbes article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinmurnane/2017/01/01/the-game-mods-of-the-year-awards-from-mod-db/#42d7ea3378cd).
We hope you will enjoy this release and remember, if you spot any bugs please report them here: http://feedback.rhsmods.org

predictably the appearance of a new faction from RHS has renewed calls for RHS to tackle other NATO forces, e.g. British Armed Forces
blissful rain
the new faction has been in the works for over a year. we already had some of the members in RHS and part of the weapons in gref, and eventually had the entire team join and release SAF under RHS flag. Most core members only helped out with advice or with aimed fixes and whatnot, most of the job was done by the (rather small) SAF team.
we said it before, if for instance a group of members would be doing BAF or ADF or IDF or whatnot, and they would be able to create RHS quality content by themselves, we would surely look into getting them in RHS and providing the baselines (pipelines, know how etc)
but truth be told, besides SAF no one actually made that move so far

it is unrealistic to think that RHS would do PLA, BAF, CRO, ADF, IDF etc etc etc

just seemed like a rather odd omission given the fact that Apex added so many fantastic environmental sounds

Question: What are the criteria for a project/mod to be considered a total conversion? What makes a modification "overcomplex fully fledged"?
The MANW definition I found is rather vague:
Total Modification - Modification of the game delivering new context of gameplay and setting represented by an array of addons and playable content. Total modification can focus on any type of gameplay (not all possible gamemodes need to be delivered), genre or setting.
jagged arrow
iirc Epoch was counted as a TC, wich didn't changed alot during MANW
north fern
i guess more than a set of mods/assets
usually a complete set of assets (inf, weapons, vehicles) or different approach (mech, survival, lego (with enough assets), etc)
whole trail
kju you completely forgot terrains π
but besides terrains, someone said (wrongly or not, dunno) that total conversion has to replace bis units and modify UI. I dont agree with that but its interesting point/idea.
I think that persons idea was that you can use any bis class name mission with this "conversion" then or something like that, dunno heh cant even remember where I read that.
blissful rain
for me total conversion means that you can ignore BI assets and play without theam altogether (create a separate timeline)
or you can use them (at least in parts) and together with the conversion also create a different gameplay or timeline
also both should also affect gameplay (as in changed behaviours be it AI, ballistics, etc etc)
for me the dino mod is also a contender here

The same keybinds to swap laser code for laser designators don't work for me when I'm, let's say, in a wiepout. Now if they DO work then I didn't notice because there is no interface that pops up.
If there is an interface I first have to open up (I can vaguely remember that such things did exist for e.g. the RHS AH-64 Longbow) then I have no idea how to do so

They allow you to port content to other engines its very odd.
The person owning the content needs to own the game, and i think its got to be non-commerical port.
jagged arrow
Didn't they also wrote somewhere, that they had the license to use the music from Stalker also?
Or was it another Mod?
harsh forge
This means that the person who makes a mod for a computer game can use this modification exclusively on non-commercial basis.
The author of the mod retains authorship and exclusive rights on the mod. However, the resources used for development of the given mod belong to another person. As such, the mod does not wholly belong to the author of the modification, who does not have full control over it (such as for commercial use).
Our company allows non-commercial use of mods for our computer games. If you want to use mods developed for our games (such as from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series) with another game, you have to turn to that game's developers for permission.```
That last sentence then makes me wonder what BI says....I really doubt BI would care, it doesn't effect them at all. Just more assets for modders to use
Unless they really don't wanna see stalker assets in there engine
But its pretty nice of GSC todo, don't see that to often
gloomy mortar
@harsh forge what does it have to do with GSC? we are not using anything from them
all content is being developed from scratch, we are very attentive to be license clean, so we have only two sources for our assets: make our own or buy commercial assets, when their license allows usage for any purpose
and the word "Stalker" is a common word, which could not be used as a trademark, but if someone sees any problem with that, please let me know

My only concern was of using their ip without permission, but I've since seen the post on their forums. It is the reason that any Star Wars, Stargate and other "mods" get shot down by their respective ip holders.

I understand that, that's why we have taken an IP-neutral project name
at least I think it is IP-neutral :)
the only thing I am worried about is using say real name for rifles or make some fake names

I was asking WHY some moders (who are the authors) avoid uploading THEIR work to workshop
And as Uro mentioned before: Ask the Modders themselves. Maybe their spiritual advisor mentioned, that they will have bad luck forever, when they upload anything to Steam. Who knows, except the guys who don't want to upload it.
Still:
It doesn't change the fact the Steam Workshop makes aloot of stuff easier, when it comes to Mod-Handling. I remember the time in OFP, when there was no thing like "organizing" with @ModName etc. Boy, that was a mess.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how I should go about signing the various PBOs of my mod when releasing updates, as there seem to be different ways to handle this - can anyone shed some light on what's considered "common practice" in regard to this?
more specifically, I've noticed a recurring theme among big mods where the .bisign files have the version number in their name, even the ones for PBOs that haven't changed in the last x updates - is there a reason for this?
sullen pawn
Many mods creates a new bikey, which will make previous versions incompatible. The version numbers are probably only there as identifiers to associate the files. If you keep the same bikey, this won't be necessary, but previous versions of your mod will also be accepted with the bikey. Use whichever method suits your mod best I guess...

@everyone does anyone here know how to code .exe files. We have an Unreal Editor converter but it just needs another file version added to it that it can recognize and the ability to convert to another version. I know its not ARMA, but wondering if anyone is around. its for converting SWAT 4 maps and items to the version that Rainbow Six 3 uses. Same engine just different version. Someone created a converter for other file versions but its outdated. Since the program is already written and seems quite simple I'm wondering if someone wants to take a look. The source for the program is included and everything.

@waxen mountain most of Tacbf devs split up to work on Frontline instead. It's very similar, just runs a lot better

So I just got this idea... zeus vs zeus gameplay, enemy ai only shows up as friendly ai notices them.
I think it'd be insanely fun. Maybe even have it a team vs team effort, with each zeus coordinting their own platoon./
It'd turn it into a strategy game.
drifting geyser
@long geyser Strategy is always welcome for sure

Yea. There'd have to be a budget too, with vehicles and troops having different costs. As well as a vehicle and infantry limit. Purchase presets for different squad types. But puchases could only be made at the beginning of the game.

hazy mist
so they should know how to get you started with that too
ivory flicker
mostly,i need only guides for static
hazy mist
there are no specific guides like that
ivory flicker
but i dont see any on BI wiki
hazy mist
what you need is to learn to understand how the config.cpp and model,cfg work with the p3d model and how they work together in game
there are no exact step by step guides though
there are guides on how stuff works in configs and in model.cfg
ivory flicker
sad
hazy mist
but that knowledge you need to apply to your specific need
and it is quite likely no one outside your team has the time to lead you by the hand to get it done because it could take from few hours to few days to teach the basics
so you need to learn a lot by yourself
by reading whats written about configs and model.cfg in the wiki and what questions have been answered on the BIforums
also PMCwiki has some good tips
and then the Arma3 samples are the basic starting point of hands on example
PMCwiki also has good procedure on how to set up the development tools and P:\ drive so follow those instructions first to the letter
hazy mist
specific small questions you can get answers easily to
big questions like how to put a tank in game, not so much
because the answer is few pages long and takes a lot of time to write
in any case good luck with the project!

Does anyone know if there a guide on how to add gear ingame?

@errant hearth what do you mean? (and are you sure this is related to #arma3_total_conversion ?)
errant hearth
To be honest with you @boreal saddle 100% of the time I don't know where to post stuff so I just take a chance man.
Trying to put gear ingame mod wise, But don't know how to.
boreal saddle
@errant hearth I am no administrator, but I wasn't sure what you were meaning either. As for the channel, I am not sure either, so far let's say it can be this one, this is at least related maybe the "best" would have been #arma3_config , yet I am not sure of this advice)
Anyway! Via mod, you want to add geae (items?) to already existing units.
While I am not a modder, maybe you could add an init EH to a soldier's parent class (not civ) and add the item (or directly on "Man" and check if side this != civilian) but iirc to do this properly and be compatible with other mods you would need CBA.
I leave you to the experts here π
hazy mist
when in doubt #arma3_questions
also as Lou there pointed out you have to be more specific about what you want to do. But it would be best to continue quesitoning about it on #arma3_questions or if its new models then perhaps #arma3_model or if its add gear on units then #arma3_config

lilac pollen
@ripe vale steam workshop search is a bit silly, it's hard to find the mod if the search phrase is "unsung"
not sure if that's because of the underscores in the title or not
ripe vale
Use google
lilac pollen
Iβd just use the workshop id but others might have a hard time finding it
Neither unsung nor Vietnam shows it in steam search page 1
Itβs just a suggestion to improve π
Great mod btw!
abstract dove
maybe after this winter sale valve will have enough money to improve workshop searching π
boreal saddle
Fat chance on them improving anythingβ¦
The Steam chat interface update was such a big surprise to me, I thought they forgot they even had a UI
ripe vale
i dont use steam interface to search for anything
try finding how to make a collection on steam, inside steam app
it's darn near impossible
every time i want to make one i have t ogoogle how t odo it
if you type steam unsung mod, it will find it in the first hit
no point tryingto fix the steam app
as it fails for literally everything
ripe vale
the problem we have is our mod has a descriptive title - the_unsung_vietnam_war_mod which is necessary, BUT the steam workshop insists on creating the workshop mod folder bay the same name rather than say @unsung and ofc it makes it impossible to search it in the title search
but we need the descriptive title
so it is what it is, a compromise
lilac pollen
We changed to βSFP: Swedish Forces Packβ to get good matching for both the abbrevation and βswedishβ
ripe vale
you have spaces in your title? how does tha taffect the modfolder name?
lilac pollen
Works just fine
The spaces improves the matching
That would be my suggestion
Since it can match per word
Instead of partial
Based on our limited testing

What counts as total conversion? Also mods that overhaul a the gameplay with role-playing characters etc?

I'd say so yea

I noticed that many mods have their own image and description set up which is readable in the ARMA launcher and the game itself. I've found some mod.cpp files, copied one, changed the wording, and tried to add it to my own mod...but it doesnt show up...what else do i need to do to add this sort of label to my own mod?

long geyser
So I'm new here to the discord and arma modding in general, I used to do alot of Kerbal Space Program modding before I became a truck driver. In the future I'd like to build and pay a team to help me out with making a mod I've always wanted to see. I have alot of experience with blender, photoshop, sculpting programs etc.... but know very little of coding or actually implementing these into arma 3, I'm willing to pay those that help out, this is a project I'd like to start when I start local driving and have more time at home
My idea was to make a horrors from the void mod, basically various entities to drop in the woods like skinwalkers and things like that, the last time I was home I got bored and decided to crudely sculpt one such entity based off a few pieces of concept art from a reddit page
Also not sure if this is the right channel to post this in
hazy mist
Tthis channel is rather slow but usually total conversions are bit more complex than that but possibly your idea could expand into full total conversion one day.
For ideas and concepts talk #game_design might be the most appropriate place to spitball ideas and how feasible they are. #creators_recruiting is place you can promote your project and what kind of help you need with it.
The payment part is a bit tricky as work done in arma tools can not be monetized and honestly paid work is often not worth the money. What you really want is skilled and enthusiastic people who join your project because they like the idea and want to actually make it and not just spit together some code that barely works to grab your money. This is a hobby afterall.
To fully realize new creatures you would require someone to animate them and create new moveset configs for them. Possibly add new behaviour system and combat mechanics so it is not by far an easy task.
I would suggest you first flesh out the idea with some models and general plan of how you would like the whole addon to work and then present that on the BI forums and on this Discord, who knows you might find people who like the idea. @long geyser

Hello there!
I just joined this community, I'm considering buying Arma with the sole purpose of modding it, is the game easy to mod?
I've worked on some mods, so I know some XSI and texture editing, but I'm curious if the modding tools require programming knowledge
@maiden ermine do you mod this game?
maiden ermine
yes
you are probably in the wrong channel
Discussion about total game conversions (aka overcomplex fully fledged modifications)
maiden ermine
It's not a good idea to jump into the biggest, most hard to do thing that exists in the armaverse right away with 0 experience in arma modding
polar prairie
Oh well
maiden ermine
yes you probably require programming knowledge. But more for scripting than the modding tools
polar prairie
If you knew me you'd know I kind of do the impossible with my mods π
people release their assets? scripts or models
or they mostly keep them
maiden ermine
Arma is definitely easy to mod.
But the learning curve is as steep as for playing the game itself
Well if people make mods, then they have to release it. Otherwise not much sense in making a huge mod right?
maiden ermine
scripts can be viewed and unpacked by anyone. Models cannot be edited when packed up into a mod. And very few people release their source material
polar prairie
Right, "source material". Ok good to know
I just thought it would be wise to ask around before getting into this, and yeah, for some communities it's common to release their source materials but I guess this is not the case
maiden ermine
Arma community has a big problem with people simply taking other peoples stuff, modifying it, and pretending it's their own or even selling it.
Guess that plays into why few people make their source material accessible
stark summit
Yeah it's a shame. More open source stuff would help everyone IMHO.
maiden ermine
No it's not. But also server monetization (which can be legal) counts as selling stuff IMO.
hazy mist
Also using free and even bought source assets can be problematic as often things on 3d model stores are ripped from some other game. That is also not tolerated.
So no "garrysmod anything goes" here.
polar prairie
Right
Ok so, what I'd like to do with the game
is turning it into a Sci Fi, RPG (inventory, perhaps leveling system) and creating my own server for the mod perhaps
I'm already renting a server for Battlefront 2 (I mod classic Battlefront 2 π , working on a total conversion for it to make it look "Remastered")
is that possible? in your opinions
hazy mist
Well if you do original work then why not.
maiden ermine
everything you can imagine is probably possible (though maybe with VERY bad performance :D)
hazy mist
If you however would like to do a mod in some known IP, make sure you're allowed to do so. For example Star Wars IP has blanket "don't use this in anything" statement from Disney.
polar prairie
Well, I saw SW mods for ARMA
but, let's say for the sake of argument, that I'd create a generic Sci Fi world, not Star Wars.
hazy mist
Does not mean they are legit and could be DMCAd at any time
polar prairie
are you guys modders?
polar prairie
Oh nice, I'd like to know some specific info before buying the game
hazy mist
Armas terrains are for surface action. Imo it does not fit well for mimicking empty space
polar prairie
does it have water
hazy mist
Yes
polar prairie
maybe you could do invisible water
hazy mist
No
polar prairie
and have the characters floating
hazy mist
Too much stuff does not work under water
polar prairie
I see
hazy mist
And there's still sinking.
But that's just my opinion
But I've explored some of the options
polar prairie
Nice, ok got it
hazy mist
polar prairie
how about inventory? leveling systems
polar prairie
I won't share a link here, but you can find my mods on Moddb
hazy mist
Many game modes use some sort of levels
polar prairie
I'm working on the SWBF2 Remaster Project
Awesome, well that's interesting for what I had in mind
hazy mist
Well SW will likely not open doors for you. Since Disney and the ripped model problems the few big SW mods have had
hazy mist
Indeed. Which in turn got all SW stuff banned here.
And then came the blanket statement from Disney that SW IP is off limits.
So in official BI platforms you could not share that
polar prairie
Right, so is it hard to create a new world, and creating a server for your modded map?
If I had to start somewhere I'd start with a MP working world
Does the game support downloads for clients? or do they have to download my mod from the web and then join the server? @hazy mist
hazy mist
They would have to have the mods installed first to join yes.
However the launcher can download mods from steam workshop
polar prairie
Ok, what's the name of the modding tools? I'd like to check them out
are they easy to use? modding bf2 is a pain the modtools are outdated and unfinished
hazy mist
Well Arma Tools is the steam package.
You'll find same swamp here
Most things have community made helper tools though
Learning curve is quite steep with the Arma workflow. It gets easier after a year or two
I work outside the official tools as much as I can.
hazy mist
Modeling or terraining?
polar prairie
Installation + terraining
hazy mist
Youtube tuts are very mixed bag. Model side has some good ones but terrain stuff is bad
hazy mist
I work in blender
Arma has its own model format p3d
If you can export fbx it doesn't matter what the program is.
Though I like that I can export P3d from blender straight with community plugins.
I guess most people here use max or blender
At least that's my impression
Few maya and c4d users
For terrain basics PMCwiki has the best steps to get started with foolproof tools and dev environment setup.
harsh forge
What HorribleGoat was alluding to is, even if you 100% create a Star Wars unit from scratch, it is still prohibited as it is Disney's IP and they forbid it. This means, you will not be able to advertise nor speak about any aspect of it on a Bohemia Interactive site (like this one). Additionally, it will not only earn you a ban (from this site and all other Bohemia platforms), you may also be permanently game banned as well. Then to top it off it will be reported to Disney legal dept. for IP theft. Oh, and dont forget Steam ban.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
hazy mist
You can always ask Disney for permission though. Not sure how that goes or is done, but it should be possible.
hybrid zealot
I guess you can do what you want but I would reread what @harsh forge posted... that included "This means, you will not be able to advertise nor speak about any aspect of it on a Bohemia Interactive site (like this one)". What gmod does - with its 99% ripped models is irrelevant to discussions on the official ARMA 3 discord
hazy mist
Gmod is the festering wound of stolen asset modding basically. "Because people just want to have fun"
hazy mist
make your own stuff or ask for permission. simple as that. π

Adding on to statements above as I just wanted to make a comment about it.
You can ask for permission to use another companies assets or βunitsβ per say but typically youβre looking at a few dollar signs. Iβve tried to do it before with a few companies however, not everybody is as lenient and willing as others. Plus it takes a very long time and by the time I got permission from one, I didnβt want it anymore because I lost interest. To me, asking for permission is not worth it. I just donβt bother using any models etc from multi billion dollar industries because, well, itβs not worth it.
Never understood why some creators here had a problem with others using their mods in missions without permission though. I mean, you are using BI tools, using BIs platform, and creating something that you post freely to an open community. As long as someone doesnβt claim it as their own that should never even be a problem but it is which is weird lol
west rune
using their mods in missions without permission though
I havent heard of people using mods without explicit permission being an issue by itself, Is there something else to the story that you didnt mention? @unique yoke
boreal saddle
Like, Life @west rune ?
unique yoke
USAF has a license dedicated to preventing the use of their mod online. Which makes 0 sense to me. Why post a community driven mod and then prevent people from using it the way they want.
Without permission I should say

USAF has a license dedicated to preventing the use of their mod online.
where did you get that from? They don't.
west rune
I was thinking more along the lines of anzus, but ya life in general fits @boreal saddle
maiden ermine
Their license forbids modification and redistribution. Not use.
west rune
And yeah ^ that sounds a lot like you misread something in the license G0D
unique yoke
Hmm I may have misread it, but somewhere in there it does state that permission is needed to use the mod in any co op/online play last I read
Could be wrong, it may have changed
But that was one of the reasons I never used it.
Itβd be like selling someone a car then telling them you can turn it on but you canβt drive it anywhere
