That's funny that you mention that. I remember "HD" Rosalina had more downloads than the original one and i dont remember LenSho bitching about that.
You do realize Julz and LenSho are both on the KC:MM team, right?
By the way, nice way to avoid the censure system. Don't do it again. EVER.
By that logic, Nintendo should be re-releasing Super Smash Bros. Brawl with our hacks since they put more work into actually making the game, Than we did simply editing parts of It. Seriously, How many times does this need to be explained? If you're going to be that literal about It, ALL hackers are thieves, Including you. Because we’re all taking models and textures made by the creators of the game and re-releasing them without the permission of the creators.
Stop trying to push things that far so that they fit your needs. While that example is true, no one could care less about it.
What happens if a company steals a product from another company? Do you seriously think that the other company won't sue them? The same applies here. Would you feel alright if someone re-released one of your textures and had twice the number of downloads YOUR texture had? Would you be able to accept that the texture YOU put work and effort in was just slightly edited and now someone is more popular than you because of YOUR hard work? I wouldn't. And if you are ok with it, I can assure you that most people in this community aren't.
Hacking is a hobby, And as such hacks are made and used for the purpose of having fun. Hacks are not works of art. They're not made simply just to look at them, Or to decorate your house. They are made, And used, To have fun with while playing the game. If someone decides to edit the another persons hack to match their own personal preference then that's fine. And If that person decides to be a nice person and release It to the public so other people can use too, Then that's fine too. Just as long as their is credit given for the original work. Which is actually hypocritical since nobody ever gives credit to the original creators of the game.
Maybe you see it as a hobby, but there are a lot of people here in this community. There are people who take this very seriously and make textures for people to enjoy, but they make them to enjoy their selves too. Plagiarism is something that doesn't let them do that. It prevents the joy of being proud of your job from occurring, and causes a lot of sadness and rage.
I'm fine with people wanting to change some textures to match their personal preference, but if they want to release it, they should talk with the one that made the texture first. It's just fair.
Let's think about this, We have taken, And used as a base, Just about every single file on the Brawl disc. And yet, The only thing we ever credit Sakurai for is tripping. If what you say is true, Then no one would ever be able to create a hack for this game since none of us have permission from the original creators to do so. A hack would need to be a completely original model, With It's own textures, Moveset, And animations. And even then, We are still modifying a game without permission from the original creators to do so.
Once again, nobody could care less about this. Since this is pretty much the same talk as the first paragraph, I'll be moving on.
Now picture this, A hack user requests an edit of Hacker B’s work. Hacker A agrees to make It and asks Hack B for permission. Hacker B says no which leaves Hacker A to tell the hack requester “Sorry, I can’t make It because he says I can’t”. In this situation who loses out? The user. Removing a hack does not benefit the original creator in any way, And It only deprives the user of happiness. Is It really worth It to deprive users of happiness just because of something like "Permission"? If this was credit we were talking about, I would completely agree that credit should be given where It's due. As long as proper credit is given, There shouldn't be a problem.
"Hacker B" has all the right to stop HIS texture from being released
to the public. It's his texture, after all. Nothing is stopping "Hacker A" from making his own version for personal use, or to distribute it in a PM (to a single person, not more).
I've seen hacks I've made edited, And I don't say a word. I'm just happy that people even use It. Can’t you just take the satisfaction of knowing you've made people happy and let it be enough rather than having to let everyone know you made It possible first? The fact that people make edits to your hack means that It's good. If It wasn't good, Then they wouldn't even use It let alone want to change It, And It would be ignored. Most people don't edit hacks to screw the original creator over. It's ether "I want to change It to my liking", "I want to make a package for people who want to use this on every slot", Or "I want to improve It".
Well, as I've said before, maybe you don't really care about it, but other people do. Want to improve it? Ask for permission. Want to change it to your liking? Ask for permission. Want to make a package for people that want to use this on every slot? Ask for permission. Of course, you always have the option to do it without permission, but only for your personal use.
One last thing: There is no such thing as “Baseless” in this community. We use work from Nintendo (including other Wii games) as a base no matter what because we can't make a completely new file. With Brawlbox It's possible, But nobody does that regardless, And we still need a MDL0 file. And I doubt anyone would ever ask Nintendo for permission. The only hacks we don't need bases for are BRSTMs and THPs, Because we can create them without one. However, We always use a song or movie that we didn’t create ourselves. And a texture hack (Or vertex hack) no matter what will use a Nintendo made MDL0 file. So even If everything is edited, Effort would still have been put in by Nintendo. I don't think I need to say anymore, I believe I've made my point.
Once again. Nobody could care less about it. Do you realize you said this in three of your paragraphs? There's no need to be so repetitive, we get your idea.
I took the time to write this so that maybe you can consider the existence of someone else that's not you. That whole post was "I don't care", "I wouldn't", "I'm fine with it", "I can", and so on. Have you ever considered someone else's opinion? I guess not.
