TheSchwarz1 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) If I would have happened to of fixed a mod that was dead and not been updated in some time... What is the etiquette for sharing the fix or releasing a fix?I am not the original author. Edited September 22, 2020 by TheSchwarz1
Adventurer1111 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I believe you have to reach out to the Original Author for permission even if it is "dead" and not touched in some time. A simple response from the Author is the right thing. Also, check the mod to see if it allows for corrections or fixes if the Author allowed that you may be able to upload the fix. As far as I know...
TheSchwarz1 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 yeah that's the unfortunate part the original author has not responded and many have tried. :-(
Druuler Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I do not think there is anything saying one cannot tell others how to recreate the fix, assuming it is not overly complicated to do the replication.
TheSchwarz1 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Well I managed to get the Dismemberment mod working on 1.5+It took quite a bit to rework and rebuild the .dll so I don't know that making a guide to fix will help much. Edited September 22, 2020 by TheSchwarz1
Druuler Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Yeah, that would not have been an easy or simple thing to fix, and not something the average mod user would understand how to do. 'Twas just a thought.
TheSchwarz1 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 I ended up posting it... was first ever upload hopefully not my last. I only did it cause I really enjoyed making heads roll. HaAll cred goes to the the original author.
Cybersbe Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 If you don't mind suggestions on other mods to do, could you possibly make an update for the Clan Control Mod? It hasn't been updated since April, and if I'm reading the "Final Note" in the description correctly, the original author has no interest in updating it further (but they have no problems with someone else making an update themselves).

Thanks for the idea, I never used that one personally. I don't think there is a shortage off mods people would like to have picked up again. If I so choose to add to Dismemberment the "free time" that would eat alone up may be more than I would be willing to devote to further modding.I am not saying its out of the question but I don't think at his time I am going to be rushing out looking for a new project.
Cybersbe Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I'm kinda new to these forums. Probably would've been more appropriate if I made one of those [update request] threads.
