Helstikkenavngivet Posted yesterday at 09:14 AM Report Posted yesterday at 09:14 AM due to 1.22 going from .net 8 to .net 10, basically every mod has been broken. However, that is not the primary issue. It has come to my attention that maltiez has no intention on updating their firearms mod to .net 10, which is important to respect, but is a bit of a problem. I have thought about doing it myself and attempting to make it compatible with 1.22, however, Is it allowed to update mods that arent yours? (as in there is no licensing issues and stuff like that) are there any people who are thinking of doing the same with other mods? (also sorry for the bit cruddy english, its not my first language)
meapineapple Posted yesterday at 09:30 AM Report Posted yesterday at 09:30 AM (edited) This is a case-by-case thing. It depends on the mod and the modder. In most cases you would need to ask the modder for permission, and probably also ask that they give you the source code. But you're in luck here. @Maltiez has already done a very cool thing: They have already publicly shared the source code for the Firearms mod, and have done so with a CC0 license. What that means is that you are legally and ethically in the clear to make and to upload your own modifications to the mod. It's like permission given to everyone in advance. Though it's a good idea for you to also make your own updated code publicly available in the same way, in the same spirit of open source, so that someone else can also pick up where you left off someday down the line. https://github.com/maltiez2/vsmod_firearms Edited yesterday at 09:34 AM by meapineapple 3
