Title: Attention {sfx}! Your mods are being stolen!
Post by: Rookie One on January 29, 2005, 10:02:19 AM
Hi,

   

   There's a guy in the Polish MoHAA community called Piter. He's been releasing various mods for quite a while and their subjects being identical as your mods' raised my suspicions. I looked into 'his' anti camper mod and compared it with Elgans - he just changed the cvar names and claims it's his! He also 'made' a SP-maps-in-MP mod, which I couldn't get, but I bet it's again a ripoff of yours.

   

   Then, he announced on a few Polish forums he 'made' a map called Omaha Assault. He's just unbelievable - he claims to have done your map, which hasn't even been released yet!

   

   What he does is untolerable. It's sad we've got such people in the community... I think we should shame that bitch. If you want to claim your work, go to this thread and click ODPOWIEDZ button to write a reply. Write in English, they'll understand or I'll translate for them.

   

   He's also ripped off jv_maps Snow contest without crediting him, gonna drop him a note about that, too.

how about a translation for also what language is this

   

   Hej,

   

   Patrzac na mody, ktore pan Piter rzekomo tworzy i porownojac je z tymi napisanymi przez {sfx} (http://www.mods-r-us.net/) nie moge oprzec sie wrazeniu, ze sa do siebie wrecz podejrzanie podobne. Mod antykamperski, mapy single-player w MP - oni to wszystko juz dawno napisali. Sprawdzilem ten caly Anty Camper mod - jedyna rzecz, ktora Piter zrobil, byla zmiana nazw cvarow!!! Evil or Very Mad A gdyby nie Elgan, nic by nie zrobil! A w readme nie ma ANI SLOWA o oryginalnym autorze! W "Piter-SP-map" nie wnikalem, ale jestem pewien, ze zrobil dokladnie to samo.

   

   Omaha Assault - mapa, ktora Piter sie tak bardzo chwalil - tez jest tworzona przez nich. Nasz tanczacy zolnierzyk, o ile pamietam, pisal, ze to on jest autorem, podczas gdy on nawet nie mial prawa tej mapy sciagnac, bo Cobra i Phil, jej prawdziwi autorzy, jeszcze jej nie wypuscili, a screenshoty, ktore wam pokazywal, mozna zobaczyc na http://www.mods-r-us.net/forums.php?m=posts&q=317&n=unread#unread.

   Zrobil was wszystkich w jajo!

   

   Mod swiateczny - nic by z tego nie bylo, gdyby nie mod Snow Contest jv_mapa. Znowu nigdzie ANI SLOWA o oryginalnym autorze! Bezczelne zerzniecie!

   

   Krotko mowiac, Piter, wstydz sie - wykorzystales to, ze team {sfx} nie jest u nas znany. Wziales cudza robote i sie pod nia podpisales, nie wspominajac o oryginalnych autorach, bez ktorych gowno bys zdzialal. Evil or Very Mad {sfx} zostana powiadomieni o tym, co wyprawiasz.

Ok i have spoken with piter and hes saying he as only edited it to polish language and it does give credit to the maker, which he said Phil. So i have told him its Elgans work/mod and to change that fact asap.

   

   So i downloaded the mod again and it still says:

   

   

   Mod by *<|BRO|>*Piter

   

   Witam w anty camper Mod !

   By *<|BRO|>*Piter

   www.moh.gemesnet.pl

   

   //anti camper script by Piter

   //www.moh.gamesnet.pl

   //gadu gadu 3801033

   

   So i have now informed him to remove the mod from his site until it contains:

   

   By Elgan Sayer

   www.mods-r-us.net

   

   Changed to polish by *<|BRO|>*Piter

Devil Dog :
   Now about jv_map's snow contest mod.I did download that one also to see if he was credited for the mod and in the readme file jv_map is credited for this mod

   

   Where's the readme? It's just a zip containing a .pk3, nothing more.

   

   And that post of mine at moh.gamesnet.pl is exactly the same as I wrote here but in Polish.

   

   And he lies he mentioned Phil. There's nothing at all, or if there is now, he did it after I made the fuss. I'm gonna upload the files somewhere so you can download them and see for yourself.

   

   <EDIT>

   Phil - I translated Piter's post as requested.

   

   'His' anticamper mod as I found it when I started the fuss:

   http://rookieone.freeserverhost.com/piter_the_ripper/zzzuserAntyCamperMod.zip

   jv_map's Snow Contest ripoff as I found it:

Ok sry it wasn't a readme file.Excuse me.Instead open up the global folder and you will see jv_map's name there.

Post by: Rookie One on January 31, 2005, 02:49:32 PM
Yeah, but who cares what's in the .pk3 unless he's curious how it works? And  I'm sure you'll hardly find anyone in Poland who is.

   Agreed!

   

   If you host someone else's mod, you dont change the credits. If you change the mod you leave the old credits and add to them stating the change you made.

   

   Anyway after a little chat with piter the anti camper file as been removed until he as restored the original credits stating elgan made it etc etc. ;)

I know this thread is old, but what to do when you find your stuff on others websites with new names/credits?

Peoples work should always be credited!

   

   We see a lot of our mods on servers with other peoples names on them - dont make much difference to me, everyone knows who made them, you must have to be pretty desperate to try and take credit for others work.

   

   Flyable planes

   Para planes

   jet packs

   smart hounds

   etc etc

   

   We know where they originate from ;)
