And it's not likely the average person wants to go through the process of manually patching a mod into their disc file. Since everything is stored in the disc file, you can't easily distribute that without entering into really murky waters. The real challenge, however, is distributing mods. So for anyone reading this who has managed to unpack the files but struggled with the last step.
However, using a lot of the common archive software that is on Windows - even using store as an option - causes a crash to desktop.Īfter playing around a little today, I made a discovery: what didn't seem to cause a crash to desktop was repacking the disc file via Ubuntu 20.04LTS on WSL2 (using zip with the -0 flag, for no compression). The disc file isn't compressed (files are instead stored).
But there has to be a balance and a line being drawn. Like it's worthless, because you earn the money, by having your creative integrity insulted.ĭon't get me wrong, though. Only for the customers to butcher your own creation with their own, sure you get the money, the money you receive would feel empty. But when you spent so much time and effort to create the perfect pizza for customers with the perfect topping. That's a good business model sure but only if the business is designed as a "buy pizza base, put any topping you want" model. When you put so much value to mods for too much, the value of the actual original content is reduced to barely nothing up to a point is practically an insult to the content creators.īack to the Pizza analogy, if you want to sell the pizza just sell the pizza dough and let the customers put whatever they want.
If people are going to mod things willy nilly up to a point it becomes unrecogniseable, then what's the point in making the game in the first place? Just make a blank platform, and have the community create and run 99% mods. There's such a thing called artistic integrity. But not all italian pizza chef share the same views as you do. Well if that's how you feel, that's all fine.
