Who here agrees private add-ons are a bad idea?

[TristanLuigi]

I personally think that private add-ons were bad ideas to start with. Why make an add-on you only give to 2 people? You might as well release it public, you make more people happy and you can see your add-on in more servers. It's like making your very own kind of drink, but then never selling it to stores. It makes no sense...

I use private add-ons, because it makes your server unique. For example, if you want to go to a City RP, then you wouldn't go to the makers, but to someone elses. This can be a good thing, but for the creator you will be missing out on people. They're also useful if someone steals a build, because they cant use it without the private add-on.

I also have some that are abusable. If it got around to some servers, the admins may not be able to keep control. However I trust that I will be able to.

Maybe if people didn't forget up the public add on so many times it would be fine. They always want their own version, or make a server that clearly abuses that mod in every way.

That and your server will get much more popularity if you have an add on no one else can get.

Exactly ;D

Me and Aware make alot of private add-ons because we don't think there good enough for release.

What we used to do (if the mod was a vehicle/weapon) was go to the server that had the addon, download the dts - then simply make the script ourselves. Took a bit of work, but it was good fun.

OP Clearly just wants some private add-ons.

I don't release any of my stuff because the public don't deserve it. Just look at all the drama in my SVD thread.

I'm doing that now with the old files that I used to download when going to one ;D


Because when we did download them, I didn't know how to script/model.

When you release an add-on publicly it generally needs to be kept to a higher standard than if you just gave it to some of your friends. Also if a bug pops up you're much more responsible for fixing it.

Using an excuse such as the public doesn't deserve it sounds like BS to me.
