Yesterday this stage was reported for not giving any credit. Today it's being reported again for the same thing (that's the third report in total, by 3 different users). Can something be done about this now by a mod?
It's depending on how much of your texture can be recognized... If there's like, 10 square pixels total of your original texture visible, neither the BV staff's acute eye nor any user will even recognize it's your previous work, so it's not like it's going to be a case of plagiarism if we can't even see it. If there' a decent bunch of your texture being recognizable, then chances are the person will be asked to either credit you, collab you, or the hack will be deleted in some extreme cases.
At least I see that someone else reported it for credit issues since last night. I wasn't able to report it yesterday because it already had a different report pending (asking it to remove the nudity).
How different does a texture have to be to be considered a "new" hack? If someone takes a texture that I made and throws some furry porn pictures on top of it, then reuploads it (without even crediting me for the original), is that against any rules?
if it was illegal, that would make everything in the vault illegal :v .....but yeah, I'm pretty sure it is allowed. after all, I haven't seen any outcry from people using P:M animations.
You know that I didn't mean "literally illegal" -_-
I was just asking because I don't know this site's policies in terms of posting codesets. I do know that the PMBR does not condone people editing their codeset (specifically stated as the reason that they didn't provide it in text format) so I wasn't sure if there's a conflict with this site's rules or not.
Knowing you you never bother making any models that you'll never see ingame
He does that all the time (you just don't notice because... you don't see them ingame ). That's how he makes all the alternate location versions of his stage hacks. Peach's Castle had almost all the locations in 1 file, except for bits and pieces that he had to remove because of the size limit.
