dazzerfong Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Looks like Beth is intending to link modding accounts to their Steam accounts, as they plan on owning FO4 as a pre-requisite for using CK. Wonder if that'll stave off guys running pirated games just to upload the mod. http://au.ign.com/articles/2016/06/09/bethesda-outlines-fallout-4-mod-roadmap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purr4me Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 This is about Authors rights to what they provide for free and proof of ownership, that's all it is, there is no maliciousness in it. Thieves are going to steal things we can't stop that ,but we can really put a dent in that activity and really make them hate the act it's self. you want to have some sort of Policing of what you make? Now you have it. To coin a phrase I was just taught. "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, it might bite you". Feed it carrots and it might carry you a long long way.

Jeoshua Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) thats fine, but with how blunt the original post is about the source and stuff, i cant help but think of how we would have 0 community if everyone followed your plan to the letter. it was the source that made everything work. Why would anyone, as a mod user rather than a creator, care deeply that the creator of the mod put their signature on it, and wouldn't want to give you the means they used to create it? If that were the case, where would art be? Comic strips? Does the signature there offend deeply? Or is it there to say "I was here, I am the artist, and I made this"? And please. Read the FAQ. You're in control of how much of the rest of the source you want to share. Share all of it, even. Just don't share your signature file. Hell, even GNU Linux distributions have a public key/private key split. This is the same concept, in a nutshell. Hell... you could even use a public/private key setup as your signature. Hmm... Thanks for challenging this. I think you just made it perfect. Edited June 10, 2016 by Jeoshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeoshua Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Encoded two optional modules. Both are platform agnostic, one is decompilation safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeoshua Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 And both of the modules are still relevant after the Steam linked accounts thing. This technique doesn't even require usage on Bethsoft.net, Nexus, or Loverslab. It works if you just share it with your friends, and it works if you post it on your own website. This is the only technique that has thus far been discussed that works on all platforms, regardless of intent, usage of F4SE, is 100% decompilation safe when using the Bonus module, and is completely free for you to use. Nobody is holding this source code back from you, this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Be ready to have to make adjustments to this if it doesn't work as smooth as you predict. But I am all for it! (although I am not a modder, I am a member of the PC MASTER RACE!)Curses be to the Console Thuggery Knaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purr4me Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 When and only when I decide to put away the PC for some set top box gaming I plan to mod it , I want the quality and perfections from the source of the ideas to be authentic and legal. I do not want stolen Ideas on a limited space..2 gigs is nothing and it gets chewed up fast and you can't remove it once installed.So I back this up..Jeo is not alone here any more.

Kingcipher1 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 or you know you could actually post your creation on Bethesda so they're not stolen to begin with, just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeoshua Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) You can, you probably should anyways, but you don't need to. Not with the Bonus module. That relies upon RFC4880 technology, is proven in the field, and cannot be falsified by anyone short of the NSA. I'm sorry. This technique does not cover theft by Men in Black. You have been warned.
