No Third Party Mods

(1/5) > >>

Steve Walmsley:
I see that, despite my repeated requests not to do so, the first third party mod has appeared on Reddit. The person posting the mod even acknowledged that I asked for no mods but he was going to mod it anyway. The forums mods have allowed it so I will be avoiding that forum in future.

The whole point of no mods is to avoid false bug reports and competing versions. Please DO NOT use third party mods and then give bug reports. I do not want to devote my limited free time chasing bugs caused by someone else, no matter how good or bad their intentions. If I realise someone is posting bugs on a modded version, I will ignore their posts thereafter.

As explained in my FAQ post on this subject, number of users is not my goal so if the situation becomes worse, I will restrict further versions of Aurora to people I know I can trust not to use mods. The other option is to un-comment the code that generates random crashes to desktop for a modded version. I don't really want to do either of those. It would be much simpler if people had the common courtesy to respect the wishes of someone providing their entertainment for free.

TMaekler:
What could help you identify if someone uses a modded version is generating a checksum into the error messages. If a modified exe is used that can identify it. Don’t know though how much time you would need to invest into programming such a system.

I just want to say steve, that no matter what these ridiculous stupid individuals do, we all love this game and most of us (not all unfortunately) appreciate your hard work and respect it accordingly and what you say goes in regards to the game, I love writing AARs and playing the game and it would bring me a great deal of sadness if I was not able to anymore, I also want to comment on what action should be taken against such people who blatantly disregard your rights and wishes, first our community should stand as a bulwark against this and make it a subject not to be discussed or given any leeway, but from what you have said it seems that the owners of the forum do not care, as such the rest of the community should distance themselves from this forum as much as possible until they comply with your rules.

I do normaly not writing much . . .  but i want to thank you Steve for your work . . .  and if it will be necessary to wait a little longer for the final game . . .  its not a problem for me.  Maybe you should just save your hard work and implement a system which stops executing the . exe after it was modified with the wrong hash key (something like this and mark any log with hash information).  (sry for my rusty english . . . ).

I can only repeat it . . .  thank you very much for that fantastic project and your time for the community!
