Fallout 4 console modding fiasco thread

We had a good one late last night, lets keep it going

I am just enjoying how that consolefags and Pcucks will never reconcile and that none of them will ever have nice things.

I should Toddlerpost, but I kid.

Haven't been on the forums but the mods seem to work great on console, have not had any issues using them so far with the mods i have.

Mustard here. I don't know why you guys laugh so bad at the guys asking for a mod. I get it that if they're being dicks it's funny to mock them, but someone just going "Hey, any chance you could have this on PS4?" seems completely benign to me.

Then again, what do I know? I don't play Bethesda developed games in the first place because they're shit.

Cause some cunning assholes are ruining their master plan to not let consolefags get anything nice.
The modders did nothing wrong imo. If consolefags want to get this shit, then it's totally on them to steal it, and the modders have every reason to make the lives of consolefags as miserable as they possible can in the process.
>>
>>340866341
I totally support fucking the console players' day with script extender. If they can't get around it, then they've no business with importing the said mods. If they get around it, then more power to them.

>>340866730
That's old news. People are complaining about different things now. The latest drama involves people taking basic PC mods that can work on consoles, like armor and weapon skins, and porting them to consoles in big compilation packs. Then the original creators get mad and cries on the forums about it.
>>
>>340866730
I'd fiddle as those retard's consoles burn, if you know what I mean.

>>340866341

Boohoo

Mods aren't serious business. No one cares about modders. Modders aren't poisoning their mods, this is just a melodramatic threat. The whole thing stinks of losers trying to get revenge on the world.
>>
>>340866730
Literally bricked or is it just making Fallout 4 unplayable until you remove the mod? Because the former sounds hilarious but you'd think there'd be a whole bigger stink if that's the case. 360 was dragged through the mud when rrod was a thing.
>>
>>340866883
>porting a mod
>stealing
Nope. If the modder had no plans of porting it to consoles, there's no reason he should be mad if someone else does it
>>
>>340866987
When you make no claim it was someone elses work and call it your own? Thats not stealing?
>>
>>340866987
Say you wrote a book in german
I got a copy and translated it to english and started promoting and selling it like it was my book

why would you be mad? you never had any intention of translating it to english?
>>
>>340866987
Of course he has every reason to be mad. He doesn't want console faggots to have nice things, so seeing console players get nice things is more than enough reason to get mad and take action.
>>
>>340867083
>selling it
No one is selling anything, it's all free. Your analogy is retarded. Typical of /v/

>>340867130
Okay sure

you wrote the book, I translated it and I'm taking credit for writing it and giving it away for free

how could anyone possibly be mad?

>>340867130

He doesn't deny that it was made by someone else originally. If you really care who made it you can still search for it. You can't steal things that are free.
>>
>>340865413
So what'll happen when F4SE is required for all the mods worth a fuck?

I'm starting to think Bethesda didn't think that far.
>>
>>340867248
Sure. I don't want fucking Englanders or Amerikaners to read my book, yet here they are reading it in Englisch.

I should make it as painful as possible for all of them readers and distributors, even if I posted my original in Deutsche for free.
>>
It's funny that modders think people actually care about who makes them
>>
>>340867375
The person who "stole" it is getting money that was meant for the real creator

he's actually stealing money from the author
>>
>>340867345
>>340867353
>working analogy
Nope. The people porting the mods never claim they created them or accepted donations for it, only ported them.

Bethesda does it again.

Okay, let's say you're a homeless person begging with your cup on the street

some guy walks by and is about to drop a $20 bill into your cup when I swooce right in and put my cup over yours so I get the $20 instead

wouldn't you be just a little bit upset

>>340865683
But my 25" monitor has a higher resolution and better colors than my 50" TV. Monitors are superior for playing games on. I also like sitting close to my monitor so I can see everything without having to strain in the slightest.
>>
There seems to be a lot of people who dont quite get how much effort creating a "simple" mod as an armor set takes.

When you understand that effort. You will understand why people are upset.
>>
>>340867527
You mean they received donations for their work in porting the mod? Nothong wrong with that.
>>
>>340867689
This is false comparison. The "stolen" mod doesn't actively try to prevent someone else from getting money by intercepting payments.
Sitting besides a beggar and doing the same, and that you get chosen to be paid, is not theft.
>>
>>340867662
It would be funny
>>
This is pretty much the piracy debate 2.0
>>
>>340867782
I did mesh rigging and crap like that.
I certainly have a bias against sonyggers and xboners.
If they want to rip the stuff, then go ahead. I will do whatever I can to make it as convoluted as it can be for them though, and I'd keep calling out on how that they chose to gimp themselves by going for consoles instead of the PC version whenever possible, cause I can physically say such things.
>>
>>340867129
So he's literally a big fat baby? Top kek
I remember when I was 5 and would get mad or cry if someone stole one of my chicken nuggets. But now I'm not a baby so I don't.
>>
>>340867829
There would be nothing to port without the original mod creator

the original creator (who may have already been working to port that mod) now gets no credit and the new porter is believed to have done all the work

Hell if we wrote a movie together and I wrote half of it then you tried to get my name removed from the credits you're damn right I'd be mad

>>340867867
The "stolen" mod doesn't actively try to prevent someone else from getting money by intercepting payments.
These people will never know who actually did all the work in creating the mod, they'll just donate to the guy who put in the littlest bit of effort right at the end. You can be damn sure that guy isn't sharing his donations with the original creator because he didn't even have the common fucking courtesy to acknowledge his contributions
>>
>>340867782
Could you describe the effort it takes?

Please. If someone takes your chicken nugget as an adult, you will make an example of this person by ridiculing him to the general public, take a video and then post it online, and then try to human flesh search the guy and then ruin his day instead of crying or getting mad about it.
>>
Here's my analogy for this situation

Say some bakery makes bread. And then some kid says "i don't wanna eat this bread plain, i'm gonna put peanut butter on it" and he does it the madman. Then he uses a cloning machine to clone the peanut butter bread and give it to all his friends.

but then some other kid comes along with his own cloning machine and starts cloning the first kid's peanut butter bread and giving them to his own friends.

Literally there is nothing wrong with this. Like the second kid even tells everyone it was his idea but seriously who fucking cares they've got cloning machines so what difference does it make?
>>
>>340867375

Modders are fucking retarded. They do not license their works, which means that literally no-one is allowed to use it unless it's considered fair use.

>>340867457

>paid mods

Always cancer. Pretty sure a modder could license their works to avoid the right for Bethesda to charge for it at all though, and in fact, make it completely illegal for them to do so.

>>340867561

It absolutely is under default US copyright law (basically unlicensed).

Bethesda should have reached to popular modders to have them port their stuff for the consoles, and not allow user submitted stuff at all. That way everything works and there is no butthurt.

that's where you are wrong, but it doesn't matter.
>>
>>340868342
We're talking about donations not paid mods you idiot
>>
>>340867083

Still in violation of copyright law.

>>340867130

Free as in cost? Sure, but that doesn't give you the right to do anything with something which is unlicensed. In fact, in default copyright law, you're not allowed to copy any work, which sort of implies you're completely unable to run a program or read an ebook because both imply copying to RAM.

>>340868347
Its more taking their work and making money off it. You put in the work, i get the cash. Sound fair?
>>
I've made Fallout mods for a while and the people refusing to port the mods that can be ported for the sake of the master race meme are dumb. I get so many donations from console players simply because I port my mods and don't call them names. My mods aren't even that good, but console players like that I port them and give them the option to use them. If PC only modders are crying about other people receiving donations for their work, maybe they should do the porting themselves?
>>
>>340868621
Except that's literally not happening.

>>340868267
nan that doesn't work mods require some works and at lot of time
look this one :

you make a sculpture

it's a unique model you give it away for free but the base of the sculpture is square and some people need it to be round

so a random guy just make the base round

he get the credit for making the whole sculpture
>>
>>340868568
Why?

Lets say I'm a modder for PC

I don't play on console nor do I know about the specifics of consoles

I develop for other PC players.

Why do they believe they are entitled to my work?
>>
>>340868621
>i put in the work to bring the mod to people that will actually give me money for it
>I get he cash
Seems fair
>>
>>340868347
Modders have been sharing and using each others' work for decades now. The difference is there was always a tacit agreement to give credit where it is due. A perusal of popular large mods on Nexus will show this to be the case. The issue now is that many people are making compilation mods without attributing the components to their actual authors. That is what people are complaining about.

Yeah but what is "the credit". Is this some quantifiable thing? Like can you buy food with "the credit"?
>>
>>340868795
thanks
but i think the debate is kinda pointless if a modder wanted to gets credits for their work they should protect it
and then getting credits and donations for the port wouldn' be legal i think

but they could just ask permission to port it only autist would refuse to get more visibility for free

Here's my analogy:

You're a graffiti artist. City officials just built two new buildings, and you decide to paint the walls of building one to spice up the neighborhood (with permission from the city officials, of course).

Your artwork is finished and the occupants of building one really like it. However, the people in building two now want that same artwork on their building.

Now, you as an artist may or may not decide to reproduce your work, but several days later you notice a headline in the local papers that catches you off-guard. On it is a picture of the art you created, but it's on building two! Not only that, but the people who "made" it are receiving full credit from the occupants of building two, and even the mayor is praising their creativity!

Do you just sit there and watch as these thieves take full credit for your work, or do you get off your ass and do something about it?

I think one of the major problems here is the misunderstanding that people think you can't own something you're freely distributing.

Here's a great example
I have a well on my property
I give water to my neighbors because I like them
People from across the country want my water too
They come and take my water and claim it's okay because I was giving it to my neighbors.

I still own the fucking water, the creators still own the fucking mods

What you see here between consolefags and modders is the same as the war between piratefags and publishers.
Maybe the script extender will be the modder's Denuvo, and consolefags tears will fill their designated shitting streets.

>>340872020
Because if it happens with fallot, AKA, the game that its usually shit and has been always salvaged by modders, then what will happen when it spreads to other games? If they couldn't stop it at mod central no one else will stop them.
I like mods, and modders shouldnt stop doing what they like because consolefags cant into their own platform modding.

>>340872032
Not required.
Someone who donates does it out of his own free will. There is no transaction.

>>340872427

This basically sums it up. Even the most nonrestrictive licenses do not allow a redistributor to take credit for making the thing they are distributing.

>>340872669

The people claiming mods that they did not make are their own mods are defrauding donators. If they fully disclosed that the mod was a port and not their work, then they might have a legitimate claim to donations, although even then I'm not sure what the legal difference between a payment and a donation is when it comes to redistributing licensed products.
>>
>>340866987
The problem is I think that many of them are taking credit (overtly or implied) and even taking donations.

Really, all the griping would be rendered baseless if they just went with that newfangled "copyleft" thing of 1) proper attribution and 2) no money. Now, I don't go with the idea that modders have any legal claim over their work (not saying either way, because of lack of knowledge), but the whole issue of legality can be side-stepped by following a few simple guidelines.

Granted, the console modders in question seem to be too ignorant or stupid (or both) to follow these simple guidelines.

They literally think to bring a mod to console all you have to do is tick the box that says it's available for console.
>>
So let me guess, Bethesda's mod quality control is as existent as Origin and Steam's customer support?
>>
>>340866375

Why not just explain it then? Or are you going to tell me every pc user is already born with full modding knowledge and skills? /V/ is full of pc users forever asking for help because they don't know how to make mods work, both the fallout and elder scroll generals on /vg/ were full of that newbie shit long before console kiddies came around.

I don't think this has anything to do with console kiddies not understanding mods, just people trying to find new ways to stroke their own ego on Nexus.
>>
>>340878768
From what we're reading, it's even worse than steam's customer support.
>>
>>340868646
Yeah, there's really no reason not to port stuff where there's negligible overhead involved. It helps reduce the possibilities for shitters to port it and get status and donations for essentially no work if that bothers you, and nothing changes the fact that any halfway complex mods or ones that can't be done without a script extender are forever incompatible with the consoles.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the half-gen consoles, since their improved hardware should make them capable of running a larger subset of mods.

I love comments where it's blisteringly obvious the author doesn't know the first thing about copyright law.

Any and all new art/sound assets (which need to be recorded/scanned/drawn using third party tools) remain the property of the creator; uploading them into the game format can't transfer the ownership for all sorts of legal reasons, namely the obvious problem that if any assets were made publicly accessible prior to the mod being made can't be retroactively claimed by Bethesda; whatever implicit or explicit license they were released under first takes priority.

Also the fact that trying to automatically claim ownership would cause all kinds of liability problems if anybody used work they didn't hold the rights to in their mod.

No true PC user ever got confused with mods.
Any that did were console babies trying to join the master race and fell short.

There is literally nothing easier than installing a mod, shit, you even can use the nexus mod manager if you are extra retarded like me.
If people wants to play with mods they votta learn, if you dont want to learn then its absolutely your fault.

At least that person is being nice about it and might just honestly not know why many mods won't work on a console.
>>
>>340880971
The base game has a limit in what scripting can do, a script extender allows modders to do much more complicated things. The script extender is a separate program.

The problem is that Sony/Microsoft will never allow a foreign program be installed on their hardware because of a wide variety of reasons (mostly related to security), this makes it literally impossible for some mods to be ported.

>I've made Fallout mods for a while and the people refusing to port the mods that can be ported for the sake of the master race meme are dumb.
Those people are in the minority. The big problem is people taking mods that can't work on consoles, making them available for consoles anyway, and then stepping aside to let the actual mod creator take all the backlash even though they're not responsible.

Can somebody explain the "console Fallout 4 modding" thing to me?

Unless Bethesda specifically made mods possible on consoles, you're doing some unintended shit that is definitely going to have issues. People were able to mod Morrowind on the OriginalXbox, but there were fine limitations on what you could do since the game already struggled to play decently on an Xbox.

TL;DR: if you want to enjoy mods in Bethesda games, play it on PC. you retard.

>>340884486
>she
>>
>>340883986
Here's what Bethesda did.

They made Fallout 4 console versions able to open the mod files, and that's all.

Then they announced that THEY made Fallout 4 support mods, and then left it as is.

Now consolefags, with limited to nonexistent understanding on how mods work on that horrid engine work, assume ALL THE MODS WORK on consoles aswell as PC.

PC modders are being flooded to port their mods on consoles, and when they don't consolefags steal those mods and port them without permissions.

This is prime example of sour grapes and entitlement, little Billy doesn't understand why all the mods wont work on his PS4/Xbox one, so he will either claim the modders have to port the mods, or that the mod is shit and PC modders are elitist fuckheads.

Meanwhile Bethesda washed their hands of the whole incident, pretend they're saviours of gaming and leaving the whole mess at the modding community. Fuck em, and fuck consoleplayers if they want mods so badly, they should learn to mod.
>>
>>340883986
Console players are taking mods and reuploading them and then claming donations and shit, other console users are constantly attacking mod owners for not putting mods on consoles etc console users don't understand that a lot of mods can't be put on consoles but won't listen because they have no understanding of what is actually happening with modding.

I can confirm, I got banned when I tried adding a mod that let you play as kids because of that rule.

What if someone just made a mod that had the side effect of making children no longer immortal.

>>
>>340902626
It's not 'promoting violence against children,' it's removing the essential flag from children period that's against the rules.

I'm going to give Beth the benefit of the doubt and say it has to do with console ESRB being so much more strict. Making kids killable would make the game AO, if that Bioshock story is true, and they don't want to gamble sicne this is new territory

THIS IS NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING. What's happening is that idiots are taking mods that CANNOT work on a console and putting them there anyway, then getting mad that they don't work and blaming the mod creator.
>>
>>340904030
I've never bothered confirming, but I've heard that originally, instead of flashing to white and turning the girls into slugs, you decapitated the little sisters and sucked the adam out of their spine or something. They removed it because the ESRB would have made it AO for such violence against children. Again, haven't confirmed this story myself, but it sounds plausible.

>>340905473
Yeah, so if that's true, then it makes sense to me that Bethesda doesn't want to gamble that they might get a revised AO rating from mod content. Hot Coffee showed that the ESRB is more than willing to update ratings like that despite the fact that the sexual content was not actually accessible in the console versions.
