There are 3 main categories of VPer: <-IMO What "some" people are not getting, is that lots (not all) of the original "recreator" "builder" asks for is one thing, respect there request to mod or dont mod/reupload.īeing someone that's been involved with builds that have taken countless hours/months/years to finish, so is that request that much to ask?. If you don't like my efforts - Great! - don't download. I'm trying to help evolve these tables to keep-up with VP. There's an offer going at the moment to upload whatever you like with no permission required, so if all I cared about was to have my name on every table, as some have suggested, then I could. I did other stuff to the table to try and diminish the howls of protest that would come from people who like to complain that nothing is done if they can't see it. You critters need to understand that I'm giving and not taking, and if the author wants to update his table, this version in no way prevents that. I was even prevented from saying so on my previous upload, and it's kinda why I don't give details anymore - it just gives the trolls a point of attack. The table had an unresolved error that caused it to crash and that's what I fixed - even though certain members can't bear to hear it. This table was never on my radar as "needing a mod". If they want to make a pink version with flowers and fuzzy dice, uh just dont send me a copyĪctually, if you do that, it's totally ok to strip my name from it (Please, i dont want the blame for that) I dont own any of what i just recreated, i dont even have permission to recreate it, so i can not really tell anyone else what they can and can not do it I did not invent the table design, i just put parts in where someone else already invented the locations. I did not make the ROM at all, i just dumped that from the pulled chips, exactly as is. I have already copied or moded someone else's work, with out thier permission to boot. I did not make it, i am just repainting it so to speak, i have no license or permission from whom ever made it originally, so i really can't tell you what to do with it. Unless it is a 100% original, I invented it table.Īnd if i spend 6 months hand drawing the playfield in vector, it still is not mine. Stern's Williams', Gottlieb's, Data East's etc, as well as people like MGM, MCI, Sony etc. It's turned into something much uglier in recent years. It's recreating pinball to preserve its history. The whole 'MINE' mindset is toxic, as far as I'm concerned, anyway. taking a table and editing the GI values and its a "mod" or its now "mine".is something else. Then, there is the whole "I don't contribute, or give back, here, but I demand respect." Those days are over. We're pretty done with the 'mine, mine, mine' attitude when taking resources that are freely given to MOD. Those tables are still free to MOD, no matter what the subsequent author thinks. There is some grey area there, as many tables use resources from previous authors who allow their tables to be modded freely. Hopefully, I get an answer soon.Īs far as uploads here, they are to be uploaded only with permission from the original author. I think this is a case of rescinded permission, which I'm struggling to understand. I know i been gone awhile, but this must still be a huge NO NO in the VP world/etiquette. what it seems to me is he's bring tables to VPF that were never uploaded here by the original builder. I've questioned him about how it was possible to get permission from so many builders. You even mentioned in your other posts that you didnt have permission and you werent happy about it
