Yes. The more people that get to enjoy it, the better. Keeping your addon private so people can only experience it when you're hosting it is stuffty and it's why we lose content when people leave the community.
Why are we able to save other people's bricks?
Anyway, props to Reinforcement for coming up with the idea... Albeit, it's been done in other games.
Yes, you can save bricks. But I can assure you that if you go on any loving server, save bricks, load them on your server, and host the same thing.. the original creator will get ticked, and you are most defiantly in the wrong. People missing something, or the creator of something not wanting to release something, does not justify somebody to make a direct copy of 'something'.
If you were to make.. let's say a deathrun. And you finish it, and people like it a lot. While you are hosting, I join and save bricks. You tell people that you won't be releasing the map, so I load bricks on my server, and host. You will be pretty ticked. Or. Let's say I don't directly copy bricks. But how about.. I load offset the save by like 3 bricks. You will be pissed.
To add some context to this conversation.
Reinforcements said that he was going to college and said that he might never host Base Raiders again. Me and Dannu urged him to either let someone trusted host it in his place, or to release the mod. He wouldn't.
Some time later me and Dannu were missing Base Raiders a lot. So I decided to recreate the mod because it was so fun. If I didn't make it, Dannu said he would.
Making a gamemode that is similar, is different than exactly copying it. Like, if you were to change some things up.. make your own version.. there would not be much of a problem. But you literally copied Reinforcement's in every aspect possible.
I did credit Reinforcements at the top of the credits in the description of the gamemode.
You should probably credit him in this topic. And probably more than a 'I loosely based mine off of Reinforcement's Base Raiders'.
