Author Topic: Vince Ackerman - Stealing My Build  (Read 9905 times)

But he did take it, and I'm sorry as coming across as an ass, it's just really irritating.
the distinction i drew is that he took it, but he didn't take it away from you

you still had it once he saved it. it didn't hurt anything but your childish sense of ownership

I don't support this thread for these reasons.
1. You're Mounds Bar.
2. Its you're fault for rather making your server public or letting others have the password to the server.
3. I shouldn't have to care about someone stealing some stuff terrain from you.

The only real way to prevent people from saving your bricks is by using custom ones so they cannot load them, but even then; didn't someone manage to grab some "private" tree bricks from their cache?

This is why I build terrain with privet bricks
protip: after loading datablocks, someone that knows what he's doing has all your custom bricks, models, sounds, music, ...


Stealing builds isn't exactly stealing to begin with; you still have the build itself. And don't use the "he claims it's his" excuse because your build isn't loving copyrighted either.

Everyone has access to everyone's builds, if released publicly in a online server. I know that I'm being redundant being around the 7th person to say this, but I feel like I need to be because apparently that part likes to go over that head of yours.

then get out of the thread, don't care, don't post.

This isn't about him taking it at this point, it's the fact of what he does with it, if he just wants to take it to roam around and admire it, I'd feel good about it. If he hosts with it and makes a new server with that map, like he said he would in "Making a Fallout map", now this is just implying that'd he'd host with it, but why would you make a Fallout map just to have it? Plus if he's doing it to display in gallery that's also stolen.

And what if he does give you credit when he hosts the server?

Will you still be a whingey 10 year old about it then too?

Probably, I don't want him hosting my build, I didn't give him permission to do it and I was planning on hosting with it too. And what's he to say? "Credit goes to Anon for the build that I took from his server?". This is important to me and it hurt, it's offensive how much you don't really care about it.

The reason I, and many other people here don't care about build stealing is that it's a non-issue. Badspot has already come out against it being a problem, and with good reason why.

The actual problem here is your childish sense of ownership. You created something that he liked, so he's using it to make something that other people might like. That's how the game was intended.

He doesn't need your permission and nor should he.

It's a god damn virtual lego build. It's not something useful in the real world in anyway at all, it's not your lifes work, it won't get you famous. People make and take builds all the time, and the only reasonable time to get mad even slightly is when the taker says that the build is 100% theirs. Why do you care so much about it?

Badspot doesn't decide what's a problem for me or not, let's get that straight, my "childish sense of ownership" is because I made the god damn build, and yes, I do own it, I worked hard on it and it's handicapped for him to just come in and declare he's going to use it for his own server, despite your stuff opinions, it is stolen, and no, the intent of the game was to build together as a community and build to the limits of your mind, not take other's creations and then make them yours by adding a few more details. Badspot also never loving declared that taking builds to make them your own and putting them on your own server, was okay, he said it was okay to save others builds to have, and nothing further until he posts in this thread to describe that it's okay to take others builds, and host with them, because he said "Listen up noobs, saving is here to stay.  If you can't handle someone else playing with your build, grow the hell up" and nothing about hosting it publically and making your own game out of it, so stop implying stuff. Also, if you think this is a well presented reason for why you should be able to steal someone's build, your autism is too intense to be able to handle this forum.

Even though it's your fault for making it public to begin with.

But good job flat out ignoring me.
