A Mod Section on the Main Site

I’ve read in other posts that the game is easily able to be modded and Green Heart isn’t really against it but can’t officially support it right now.

My question is could you guys add a section to the main site that people could submit mods to that had a warning that the files there weren’t supported by Green heart because they were user submitted and to use at their own risk or something along those lines would that work?If people are already making them it would be nice to know where to get them and it would get rid of people asking for mod support.

I was thinking about it but you know how planetminecraft is for the mods?I don’t know how they get the planet site stuff gets setup but you think that would work for Greenheart to be able to unofficially allow mods?

it is a good idea i think

The copyright information contains a part that reverse engineering is prohibited, but you will need this to make mods.

Or do you have an official statement, that the copyright information is invalid?

The copyright information contains a second part with “please support us and buy our games” but I did it already.

Is the prohibition for non-customers only?
I suggest to make reverse engineering/modding possible for customers with an extended copyright information and the mod section is a good idea.

But the code is not documented in the release, it might be better to offer a documented version for customers with interest in modding, GDG can sell this e.g. as SDK extension. :slight_smile:
Or the mod section can offer a restricted area with an online documentation wiki for customers, that might be good. GDG can offer a basic documentation, and the customers can extend it.

[/quote]The idea of what I was trying for is there someway for them to be sneaky about supporting mods without looking like they were supporting them so they wouldn’t have to change their copyright stuff?The copyright information wouldn’t really matter because the owners of the game could enforce it only when they needed or wanted to in the case of mods while letting modders do what they do.

It would be a workaround till they did support the mods.

In my country, the copyright holder must grant the rights for modification first, but of course they should do it, it would be great. :slight_smile:
