Hey guys, I made this really cool thing, but you can't have it! nananana! You mad? :^)
>>292601985
I'm pretty sure this dude is the biggest troll out of this whole thing.
If so - Props to him cause everyone took the bait. If not... No one gives a fuck about your shit mod we probably wouldn't have used anyway.
Meanwhile - I'll continue to remake Marie for every fucking game and software I own and upload her everywhere.
For free.
>>292602105

Modders have suddenly think they're ever going to make modding into a job
>>292602780

>>292603124
Just a guy who rips models for XNALara/MMD and does some other random shit.
I don't think I'll ever get a quality Marie in Skyrim though. I spent hours on this shit and it's still so far off.
this guy is 31 years old according to his whiny, long posts
What a little bitch
So we're deprived of a mod for a game that's inherently shit?
How is this a problem?
>>292603849

Why are modders so entitled?
>>292605620

Because no one can sell digital goods on the internet without steam. Ever.
>>292601985
Do we have any proof this mod even exists?
>>292605664
But that's illegal
Paying for mods is like paying for DLC.
Except with no quality assurance or testing.

hey guys I was gonna create Skyrim 2 as a mod, but I wont anymore because it has to be free now
>>292605710
because their entitled shitlords
>>292605785
Yes, selling a mod for a game without the right holders permission is illegal
What do you think the whole 'huge cut goes to Bethdesda part was for
If you guys hadn't canned the paid mods I was going to make a mod where you could have a dog but he will be so much more than a normal pet. He will, for instance, bark when you least expect it.
You could play the game 100 times and have an entirely different experience and I was going to set it up so the game can monitor how often you turn to your left or right while walking, running, or just spinning in place. The gamer's subconscious decision to turn one way more than the other will be reflected in the character model as one side of his body becomes much more muscular than the other.
You can construct a rocket out of fallen trees and then launch that rocket into outer space with dynamite and have outer space adventures with a laser gun that you find in space.
But NO you don't want to do anything, thanks for that.
>>292601985
At least this whole debacle has cemented my opinion that modders are children with egos
>>292605826
Sounds dumb. Who would pay money for something this retarded?
>>292602937
>Whore
I'll fucking cut you.
>>292605841
Well, not all of them, but this whole mess had drawn the ones with the biggest egos out of their holes. Can you imagine what they must feel right now? Trying to cash in on mods and they ended up with nothing but a trashed reputation.
I was going to make a mod that turned Skyrim into a good game. Now Skyrim will stay doomed forever.
Thanks Origin shills.
>>292605913Fable 2 sold pretty well
>earn a living
>everyone immediately lulz as they point out modders would have to be outrageously successful to even make a pittance
>change wording to EARN SOME MONEY
>laugh at Valve harder because those faggots are taking all the money with less than a 1% chance your mod will be successful enough to even do anything besides make a few spare bucks for Valve and Bethesda, especially once the marketplace began getting flooded with cheap shit and scam mods
>>292603995
Quite seriously, a HUGE number of those faggots haven't even played the game. When I was in university I remember frequently hearing about how "epic" and "badass" Skyrim was from people who had played it in the area of zero to fifteen minutes in the two to three years that they had owned the game.
It blows my mind.
>>292602778
You're a good guy, guy.
>>292601985
This mod sounds like stupid bullshit. Weird and inconsistent profession names, and "real objectives" in Skyrim of all things.
>>292605930
It's pretty hilarious that it's the modders that were stealing assets and shit that are moaning the loudest, while the ones that were working hard in the background barely peaked up from their code to realise this happened.
Literal line drawn in the sand now. Theres good ones and bad ones, and holy hell the bad ones will never work as legitimate programmers after this hissy fit
>>292606006
They want to fit in.
If it was considered cool and epic to have read Foucault they would pretend to have read him too, just like hipsters do.
>>292604270
I always thought it was to emphasize in what one's saying. I never thought of it this way.
>>292602778
Please post more Marie with that collar, friend.
Is he even relevant in the modding community?

>>292601985

>>292606210
>Is he even relevant in the modding community?
Whenever you can ask yourself this question the answer is most likely "no".
>>292601985
Do you see what you have done Gaben?
Do you see what your shit has caused?
Thanks for enabling this type of behavior from modders.
>>292606053
This is the main reason I cannot condone the act of selling mods.
Even if I needed the money which I can understand a lot of modders are students etc... Shits just wrong. Make something original if you want money. Don't fucking mooch off someone else's work.
>>292606029
I try to do my part to keep the master race as well, you know the master race. Couple more weeks and I'll try and upload my master marie pack... Hopefully I stop running into rigging issues.
Her hair also likes to duplicate the pony tails which is fucking weird.
So far I've made my own ports fully rigged for XNALara, MMD, Skyrim (Kind of? Working on this as it will include it's own custom body/textures etc)
I'll be churning out the outfits asap once I've got the body & face done.
Any other game requests that there isn't already a decent Marie mod for?
>>292601985
>oh man I was going to make this big gigantic mod it was going to change the way you play the game and I really was going to release a finished version unlike 95% of mods :^)
A lot of modders aren't people with careers or people who generated a large income. Honestly dollar signs flashed in their eyes when they heard this and now they are pouting because all the stuff they imagined buying is gone.

>This is her standard outfit :)
I thought it was her standard outfit minus the outfit. Oh well!
if you want to make money just make a good mod and start a patreon, if the mod is good, people will chip in and throw a couple of bucks your way.
And wasnt modding always more about getting experience in coding and that
>>292601985
Oh shit, I always wanted to play as a Master Merchant, Archer and Barbarian in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Fuck you guys, your entitlement caused this.
>>292602778
You're amazing anon.
>>292606053
That's basically it. There are people outed now that are never going to be taken seriously ever again, and all over ZERO profit. As much as I hate Valve and Bethesda starting this mess in the first place, I fucking love the entertainment they gave us from within the modding community.
>>292601985
modding...modding has changed.
building experience
making industry connections
having fun
improving a game you like
it was never about monetization
do you think those guys who are modding Thief: The Dark Project for the last 15 years expected to make money off of doing it? nah, they just fucking loved the shit out of some Thief. if they were in it for money they would've been like those shitty devs who made Thi4f.

Funny thing is... I'm really not.
I learned to do pretty much all of this off reading some pretty basic tutorials for the software required and took it from there.
Which is a big part of why I hate the concept of paid modding. Who the hell would post a guide to teach new people to get into this if they new it'd mean more competition?
Also MMD is playing strangely well with Marie's clothing on my first run thru of rigging the outfit. This shit just doesn't happen it's going too well.
Something is going to break, I know it.
>would
>will
LOL. I've seen projects of the greatest mods on earth that WOULD be awesome too. Nobody cares about some would-be project.
>>292605710
Pretty much.
The true "paid mods" in the gaming world, the products that originated from mods such as TF2, CS, GM, DayZ etc - have continuing development and support by paid professionals, which justify their price as they are no longer amateur products, but professional products.
Modders are like the old school olympic athletes, which were amateurs. Being a professional athlete was considered boorish and against the spirit of competition (this was quickly followed by almost everyone, but specifically the Russians, going against the spirit of competition - the reason the "miracle on ice" is such a big deal, for example, is that the US team were amateurs whereas the russians had their "amateurs", who were "conscripts", focus 100% of their time on training and practicing hockey).

>>292607542
Nothing 100% done yet - For now I was making a PMD and XPS version of the model for other modders to do that themselves.
I will be working on a Skyrim version - But that is a whole other project and has quite a ways to go still. It'll be on the lab once it's done for the Skyrim version as it will include a custom body and I'd rather avoid the nexus shit storm for now.
Once I'm satisfied -IE all the issues are fixed- I'll release all the files. If it's easy to do, I'll even take some requests for games to mod her into.

>>292607308
It's not about wanting others' work for free, anon.
It's about keeping the _hobby_ free and open for everyone, without having it ruled by profit interests and "support my patreon for the next update". Modding is a hobby. It is not a job. It is something you do because you enjoy it, not because you want to become rich. It is not a primary profession.
Some mods become so succesful that they can then be developed into commercial products. This is rare, especially outside of Half-Life mods, and the only Skyrim mod that really comes close is SkyUI, which probably should have been adapted by Bethesda in the first place.
Having paid mods is just opening up a can of worms that no-one wants. What happens if someone makes a competing mod? Do you DMCA them for "copyright infringement"?

>>292608049
You have no right to decide for others.
I don't care how pretty and idealistic you make it
You, do not, have, the, right.
If you think someone's work ought to be free than take up the tools and create something equivalent and give it to the community, DO NOT force people to be your slaves, if they want to monetize fucking let them.

Also none of the mods that included "skipping the intro sequence" worked for me, so I wouldn't want to pay for it only to have it crash all the time either.

Did he forget the point of mods, from a modder perspective? Its free because they're basically practice for real shit, they don't have to provide support, or even be responsible for if their shit works, and they're supposed to be for fun and sharing, not profit.
It seems to me that game companies realized if they allowed modders to charge for shit made with their tools, they could take a cut of that and increase revenue

Donating isn't really a likely solution. Most people won't take the time to endorse the mods they like let alone donate to them.
I don't agree with the paid modding as I've said plenty of times. I can just tell you from personal experience as I used to have a site with a donate box for my model conversion etc...
50k+ downloads, zero donations. No big deal but from that stand point I can tell you, people are too lazy for that shit.

Don't put every mod in the same basket, there are some great mods that made with more care than the devs ever would.
I don't mind people asking money for their work, I won't buy them but the thing is, I just don't want beth/valve to get any cent out of that.
We paid for the full game which included the SDK, mods were made, patches broke them many times, but people kept modding and it probably helped sell a shitload of copies. Valave and Beth already got their cut out of the modding community.
>>292609815
They could always go with the slider option when downloading mods with free being an option, it would give people a lot more to think about whenever they checkout.

>>292610135
I believe they're paid with steambux as well. So how would you live on that?
>>292610018
That could work - But I think a big problem is for some users will be the number of mods some of us use in our games.
The games are expensive enough if you're buying them right at launch. I don't think it'll do any good for the gaming industry as a whole to allow this.
Modding is a lot bigger than just Skyrim, I'd hate to see these trends fall into places that I create content for.

>>292610309
I ain't know shit about this, nor do I claim to.
My biggest is issue is mod compatibility at the moment of purchase and over time, what if an update breaks it and it's never fixed? What if it conflicts with another paid mod, now I have to choose between one or mods that I paid for. What about quality over time if the author gets complacent or lazy? The QA would have been a nightmare.
>>292601985
>doing it for one of two things...the donations or recognition of the community
Yeah maybe that's the problem, maybe if you were making mods cos you have a love for whatever game your modding and they actually implemented a better donation system there wouldn't be a problem.

They would have been paid out in cash. The deal was they get a 25% cut of profits if their sales were to exceed $400 USD per month.
The major flaw here is that the vast number of modders who sold content would never exceed that $400 thresh hold at all - Let alone do it on a monthly basis.
Probability would have Valve/Beth taking 100% of the profits from most modders all the time, the exceptional few would make a buck for a couple of months while their projects were fresh.
I understand the community backlash, I expected it. I'm not sure how anyone DIDN'T expect it especially the modders themselves.
They are clearly out of touch with their peers if they couldn't see the result being what it was.
I never really had a problem with the idea of paid mods, but Valve implemented it clumsily. There was virtually no warning, just one day, poof, now there are mods you have to pay for, and frankly none of them looked significantly better than a free mod. I wondered, "What exactly am I paying for? I'm all for supporting mod developers with donations, but now that it's a product, how am I supposed to value it compared to all the other free mods?"
I mean Valve said it themselves: Skyrim already had a very large, very successful modding community, where some devs were already being supported by donations. Throwing paid mods into the mix didn't feel like another way to support mod developers, it felt like it was making people pay for something that was free everywhere else.
I suppose for better or for worse, the consumer has never forgiven the first man who filled up a bottle of tap water and sold it for a dollar and fifty cents.

It's because he's just fucking rambling about shit and is constantly thinking of what to say next, this shit is annoying to listen to and no one will fucking get his point because he can't fucking get it across in a clear cut manner he has to ramble on and take 15 minutes to say what would take anyone who knows how to fucking talk properly 2 minutes.
Not only does he still not show his amazing mod but he only harms himself by making himself look like a deranged retard who doesn't know what they are talking about.
>>292610579
I think from the point of the modder, or in anyone in the position to up and be able to make money all of a sudden, I don't think they ever stopped and thought about it from the view of the community. They just saw money, especially those that were filling the workshop with crap to try and make something. I won't blame them for something happens in other industries as well. The modders that suddenly thought they were going to get away with charging for free mods were completely crazy. They were the ones that shot them in the foot. I think there's a way this system could work, with some sort of approval system before they would be able to sell a mod. I guess a greenlight for mods, but it's all complete shit anyways.

modders didn't become entitled cry babies with minecraft you bubbleblasted nigger.
Ever notice how fat, entitled people with a low level of intelligence always think they are being scathing as fuck by calling people "kids", more than likely owing to they themselves being called manchildren on more than a few occasions and feeling hurt by the connotations that they are not acting their age?
Feels like it immediately invalidates ANY complaint, personal attack or rebuttal because it's clear it's being used as an insult only because it's something which the author personally considered offensive, and they wouldn't find it offensive unless they had issues with being called a child because it hits too close to home.

>>292611185
And why is that? I've been following the minecraft mod scene since the early days of tekkit and the amount of autistic entitled retards in that scene is just incredible.
I was gonna mod gta v. I was gonna model the entire earth, including every human and animal, in 1:1. Essentially a real life simulator. I have already started and was planning on publish the first early access mod build ($1.99) today. But that will not happen now. All because a bunch of entitled gamers who want everything for free. I'll keep this mod for myself.
>>292611150

>>292610901
Funny thing is for those that were aware and part of this prior to launch... Many people turned down the invitation and advised others to as well.
I would like to think that most of us -knew- trying to sell our mods which are often incomplete, rough works that arn't exactly perfect products... It's a silly idea.
There is an avenue where people who want to do this kind of thing CAN make money doing exactly what they are now.
Unity is one of the most commonly used game engines for up-and-coming devs / experienced modders.
You can sell your assets - YOUR ORIGINAL own work to other people for them to use in their projects/games. For the people who want to make money off this kind of thing... There are places to do it.
Places that make sense. Places that don't jack up the cost for consumers to have an enjoyable game experience and where modders original works might actually make it in as part of a real game.
For those who bought skyrim + DLCs new they paid about $100 for a single game. Isn't that enough?
I just don't feel 'paid mods' should ever be a thing on the consumer side of the show.
This isn't just about a handful of us modders - Nor is it about people not wanting to pay for something theyve had for free...
It's going to cripple the modding community if it's allowed and in general will start a dangerous trend in the gaming industry.
We allowed DLC to become a thing - Let's not make the same mistake twice.
>>292611441
Hm, true. I did read about the oblivion gates mod for Oblivion and that was pretty hilarious. Feels like minecraft draws a lot more autists just because of the nature of the game.

Modders have always been terrible. Some games just make it worse. For example the TF2 scene was terrible, you can practically trip over drama just by trying to release shit.
I've made a map before that somehow pissed off a guy, which in turn pissed off his whole clique, someone in his clique was so offended that he made this huge spiel how he'll never mod again and it is my fault, which lead to his fans to shit on my map. I wasn't big, never was, regularly got like 1-8 downloads. Except for that one map that somehow got 80+(which is insane) downloads after the whole fiasco.
Til this day I still have no idea what pissed everyone off so much, while I was thankful for literally multiplying by fanbase, I had no backbone cause I was a pussy so I stopped doing anything for TF2.
tl;dr people are entitled cunts.

>>Funny thing is for those that were aware and part of this prior to launch... Many people turned down the invitation and advised others to as well.
Do you have a source? I'm inclined to believe your statement since they launched the Workshop store with some rather unimpressive stuff, and I had been wondering if Valve and Bethesda wanted to have more big names but they refused to join. However, I'd still like to see if you have any links where modders mention about being contacted yet rejecting the offer.

They also changed "selling their greatest works" into "selling their work".
>I made a mod out of all tamriel and akavir but you guys are never getting it now because you are all poopysocks
>>292612113
Basically.
99% of mods are unoptimized pieces of shit dripping with bugs, leftover scripting and something that CAN and WILL break a random quest 20 hours into the game, and you will never get a modder to admit it or fix it unless they find the problem first. Most of the time, they don't care to do anything about their lack of cleaning and general instability of their work.
Which is fine, because it's free.
Once it's not free, it's not okay.
But they still wouldn't do shit to fix it because they have NO OBLIGATION to do so. All they'd do is slap a price tag on their mod and leave it to stew, problems and all. If you'd demand they fix it because you spent something like $5 or more on it, they'd just shrug and say fuck you because zero liability, zero quality control and zero interest from valve in maintaining any semblance of customer happiness.
That is why paid mods cannot and will not work.

>it would have irrevocably broken your game anyway
I've always found that having people use whatever content I have produced for a game is more worth the effort than money.
I never modded for anyone else or with the intent to make a living out of it. I've always created content that I wanted to play, or to simply try things out. The fact that the internet came along and made sharing content with people all over the world easy, only made things even more interesting and fun.
I appreciate every single person who have ever took and interest in, downloaded and enjoyed my content.
If I would had wanted to make a living out of producing videogames, I would had taken a job in the industry.
The end.

I don't know, it wasn't even the same gametype. I made a tc inspired map based on tc_hydro because that was my favorite map even if it was a bad map and everyone hated it.
I liked the whole concept of randomly different areas. (Remember this was still pretty early in the infancy of tf2. Like I'm not sure if the medic/pyro update was out at the time.
So I tried to make a map that emulated it with different starting points. I wanted red and blue to be randomly selected from a pool which I couldn't figure out so I did it the not so efficient. (had 5 variation for red, 5 variation for blue. Then created a map for each variation {r1b1, r1b2, r1b3, r1b4, r1b5} essentially until I cycled through all 25).
It lead to a really inflated size and I'm sure no one would have wanted to load into a server with it (Leading complaint behind the map being small). However I don't think that would be rage inducing.
Can't find the map anymore because fpsbanana no longer exist and can't use my old credentials to login to gamebanana.

There is also the common issue of mods breaking other mods, which means someone has to deal with it because that is not an acceptable situation for paid mods. However most people won't try to fix it because why should they, and the people that do try will struggle because it is an impossible request.

This is awesome.

There is objectively nothing wrong with monetizing the work from your hobby. "It used to be free" isn't a counter-arguement.
They have every right to do so. Just say that you don't want to pay for mods, I don't either. Don't make up shitty excuses to try to justify it.
>>292610579
It was never "per month", you just had to make at least $100 in profit total to cash out. You could just sell $40 worth of mods and earn ten dollaridoos per month, but you wouldn't been able to get the money until 10 months.
It was still a dumb system for a multitude of ideas, but there was no monthly minimum

Oh Hi Mark, I was just playing my super awesome mod that I made, but I'm not going to release it because I couldn't find anyone to buy it - because people are entitled. It's such a good mod, you haven't played it have you?

Yeah, paid mods existed for years, and 25% was always the cut, and nobody complained about the system. It was just called the virtual hats in Mannconomy and it worked because Valve themselves curated it, made sure it worked and provided tons of support.
This entire Skyrim paid mods shit sounds like Bethesda looking to grub at Valve's money-printer, because nobody at Valve looks at and a fucking 4-year old game and think "Yup, there's money in them thar mods."
>>292605823
No, it is absolutely not illegal. Bethesda gets a cut because that's the only possible way Valve could get publishers to have paid mod links on their game's store page.

Which library do you go to that charges you for books?
>>292612779
>isn't a counter-arguement.
Well it is, suddenly trying to charge money for something that you never wanted money for before is a really scummy and dickish move. But here's another great counter-argument for you:
Most mods are not of a sufficient quality to deserve money.
The few that are still would not receive the amount of creator attention it would take to make them compatible with every other mod being sold from now till forever, in order to ensure customer satisfaction, meaning you have no guarantee that your purchase would be worth the money 24 hours afterwards.
>>292613086
What kind of library lets you take books for free?
Shittiness of paid modes aside, the big mistake Valve and Bethesda made was that they chose to introduce the paid mods scheme with a game that has been around for a while with a multitude of mods that have all been free up till that point.
This only serves to annoy people, as some well loved mods suddenly vanished behind paywalls for their newest versions, some of which have been developed with community help, not to mention mods that incorporate other mods. This whole thing felt like a hostage situation.
The least they should have done, is wait for TES6 and then do it, when there's still no mods in existence and everyone can be upfront whether they make a paid mod or one that stays free, so everyone can beforehand decide whether tho help out and whether there's additional royalties to be paid.
>>292612779
It's not about a willingness to pay for it, it's that modding has far too many problems and lack of quality control for paying for it to be a good idea.
Injecting money into the system isn't suddenly going to give modders an amazing work ethic and magical bug checking skills
>>292612779
Steam is a terrible way to monetize from your hobby. They take such a large cut and the payout goal is too large($400) for 95% of modders to ever even get paid.
Even if it wasn't
>>292612225
>>292612550
people DO monetize from their mods. Either from donation or full-scale projects. The guy who made the DoA porno with Kasumi has an active patreon for example, or any of the bigger mods for STALKER/Doom has a donation button and do get donations. (course for stuff like STALKER, it is a donation button so they step on the developer's toes and get shut down) but it works.
