Re: IR in 0.18

He created the mod freely on his own free time, and it probably took him hundreds of hours. He has no obligation whatsoever towards anyone. What you think about the mod author's has nothing to do on that.GeneralTank wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 8:30 amFrankly with the way Deadlock has acted I don't give a crap one bit. He should have already just transferred the mod to another author to maintain and not keep it to himself. I already have a huge dislike for people (and companies*) who use copyright to shut down attempts to keep games available.Koub wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 7:30 amDeadlock explicitely chose a licensing that forbids what you did. On the page you link in your version is written :You may update it for yourself, but not share the modifications. I don't think you can change the authors license either, and yours is MIT, while Deadlock's is CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.See the license for details about what you are and are not permitted to do with it. TL;DR - you can modify it for your own personal use, but you can't share modifications of it or re-use its assets in your own published works and you can't use it for any commercial purpose.
Which is a shame because I was actually looking forward to IR2 but I haven't heard anything concrete yet aside from what I heard from discord. I just wish he just learn to take criticism.
*(like Nintendo)
However, I'm realizing this topic is drifting off topic, so I'll stop this here.
To get back on topic, there won't be any 0.18 versions of IR unless Deadlock decides he wants to come back to the Factorio modding scene or he decides to hand over his mod (which I consider unlikely, but one never knows). However, anyone can decide to recreate from scratch what he has done, without using any of the material he has created. Feel free to do so if you wish.
