A guy named BigCut is uploading all your work on the workshop. I suggest the map builders get on this.
BigCut: hello
BigCut: i want to answer to your comment.
[WPC] Hemi: hello
BigCut: On every upload i added the creator name and i added the source.
[WPC] Hemi: well...this kinda obstructs the original author from uploading this themselves
[WPC] Hemi: did you ask them permission?
BigCut: no
[WPC] Hemi: there in lies the problem
BigCut: i thought it would be a good idea
BigCut: to upload those maps to the workshop
BigCut: a lot of map is hosted on other sites even on one click hosters
BigCut: if it is a problem
BigCut: i remove them
[WPC] Hemi: the workshop is new, and everyone is still getiing used to it. And you have to give the authors a chance to upload their stuff
[WPC] Hemi: I think the modders would be gratefull if you did m8
[WPC] Hemi: otherwise it will get very confusing
[WPC] Hemi: workshop will eventually become the official place to get all the original work see
BigCut: ok i will make it to private. at least those i would like to use until someone reupload.
[WPC] Hemi: yeah that could work
BigCut: is this acceptable?
BigCut: ok
BigCut: i do this now
[WPC] Hemi: thanks!
BigCut: np and sorry for the trouble
[WPC] Hemi: np, enjoy the game and the mods we make
BigCut:
resolved :
how mature, right?
As long as he makes it all private. Otherwise what happens if a map author releases their map and it already exists because BigCut/someone else released it, but, with a poor description and pictures of it? Then people will get false ideas about someone's project before they get to present it themselves. Just my opinion as a mapper. I already released all mine but I would feel sorry for other mappers who don't get to present their projects on their own. If he keeps it all private then w/e.
That workshop thingy is quite confusing, hopefully everything went right when I uploaded my files.
Personally I wouldnt want anyone to upload my content without at least asking a permission for it first. Just the other day a friend of mine noticed some guy uploaded Carden Hill and all he did was provide a link to the site where he originally downloaded it from (and funnilly enough I didnt upload the map there either).
The problem is, he gets listed as the author of the content and like braindead and Swift said, it can seriously mess things up for the original author in case he wants to upload his content.
After that I kinda got in a hurry and uploaded all my maps there to avoid confusion...
I dont mind this aslong the mapper isnt there to upload it anymore, I have seen people uploading other people's maps because the original mappers are too lazy to do that and I would like to see these maps on workshop, but yeah credits would be good
