Mod Guidlines:

All mods posted on these forums must comply with these guidlines:

1. Self-Contained -� A mod must run from its own folder within the blockland directory and be comepletely seperate from the fps/ folder. A mod cannot overwrite any of the default blockland files.

2. Open Source - You cannot release a mod that contains ANY compiled scripts (*.dso files).� This is necessary for security and provides the greatest benefit to the community.

3. FREE FROM INTENTIONAL EXPLOITS - Do not put any secret back doors or overrides in your mod that would allow you or anyone else to gain special power on a server where you other wise should have none.�

4. Free from Excessive "Punishment" -� A mod cannot contain any excessive administrative punishment functions such as muting, blinding, or immobilizing.� Power corrupts, and there is no need to give admins even more power.� I cannot stop you from doing this on your own server, but don't post it on the forum.

5. Safe for Clients - The client side scripts should not open up functions to the server that could result in destruction or unwanted operation.� For instance, you cannot create a commandToClient that will cause a the client to change their avatar $prefs or change their keyboard configuration.�

6. Available in .zip and .exe - If I were to copy your mod zip into my blockland directory, right click on it and select "Extract Here" (using winZIP or winRAR) that should be enough to install it.� The .exe may be a simple self extracting archive or an eloborate installer - you decide.

You may not post a link to any mod that violates these guidlines.

Violation of these guidlines will not be tolerated.� Repeated or blatent violations will result in a permanent BAN from the forum.
This means that if your mod contains code from more than one person, you will have to carefully review all the code before releasing it.�

If you have any questions, please ask in this thread.

Clarification of rule #1:
� � Rule #1 applies to completed mods posted in the mods forum.� If you have a piece of code that just changes a few things or adds a weapon or something, post it in the Mod Snippets forum.� Rules 2 through 5 still apply to Mod Snippets.

� � The exceptions to this rule are client side mods.� They are, by definition, not self-contained.

Clarification of rule #2:
� � Your motivation for creating a mod should be to create something fun that people will enjoy playing.� People who download your mod are free to use it in any way they want to.� This includes taking pieces of it and using it in their own mod.� Just like Legos, there are no rules as to how people can combine mods.� When make a mod, you're making a toy that people can play with in any way they like- that's what makes it so much fun.

� � If you're concerned about getting proper credit, don't be.� If you're the first one to post it on the forum, we'll all know that you're the one who created it.� Forum regulars will remember you.

These guidlines apply to Blockland mods.

AoT is not a Blockland mod.

undefinedjoe · March 24, 2007, 11:45:09 AM

I believe you mean "do these rules apply to AoT?"

Anti-Cop · March 24, 2007, 01:04:11 PM

The issue is that we aren't even supposed to mod AoT, I am not sure why he puts up with the mods that are out now.

TheSilentNinja · March 24, 2007, 04:40:55 PM

He's already talked about that somewhere...the "V3" thread...it's somwhere in here...
He said he does'nt care, and he hopes everyone has a great time fixing all of the old bugs all over again. As long as no one here gets a master server running for their mod, there is'nt any real competition for the real AoT.
