I dont like build 42 besides basement's and higher floor's

they took armor mod from build 41 workshop and intergrated it into the game and gave no creddit to the modder who made the mod, the new aiming as well used to be a mod in build 41 reason why they arent in build 41 workshop anymore, just find it mad disrespectful to take mods and giving them no credit, saying i project zomboid team made these new updates and worked so hard, like thiefs

Nothing was "taken" therefore no credit is necessary. It'd be a bit silly to expect with the amount of mods in existence that the vanilla game wouldn't overlap sometimes.

If it is a rare case where it isn't ours somehow then we abide by this:

5.1. We are, technically, permitted under Steam’s Subscriber Agreement to incorporate any mods submitted to Steam into Project Zomboid.

5.2. However, as a matter of policy, should this ever happen with Project Zomboid (and the relatively infrequent occasions when it has happened in the past) it is after direct communication and signed agreement between all parties. Upon allowing The Indie Stone to use a modification in the game modders cannot claim entitlement to any past, current or future profits from the game unless this is agreed upon at the time.

5.3. Separate from this, we reserve the right to implement any general gameplay ideas or features in Project Zomboid irrespective of whether mods exist that accomplish the same goal. While we will respect people’s personal creations and always ask for permission and offer credit within the game before intentionally including any code, art or dialogue directly from mods with the core game: we do this out of respect to the authors and are not legally obliged.

Sounds like you know stuff I don't.

I like everything that makes the game better in a game without mods.

Thanks, guys!

You talk like they didn't hire and get help from a bunch of the people in the modding community. You might want to try naming actual names of modders and verify with that modder to make sure that they didn't give permission first before you go spreading vague ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rumors around for no reason.

This eerily sounds like:
"All right, but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

Do you have any proof that they stole the mods? Because this sounds like a libel. And you know libel is a crime right?

If they really took the mods without crediting the modders and claim it as their own, the modders would've caused a stink right from the beginning.

I feel like the only fault on TIS's side is that they don't have a definitive credit page, aside from the name scroll on the title screen.

theres no car armor in build 41 in mod workshop, i mean mods are game code so not really stolen but theres no creddit to modders when you open up pz, i scrolled through update posts, the new aiming mechanic used to be a mod as well, how would it cause stink, theres mods from workshop build 41 in build 42 and gone from build 41 workshop, one person saying there mod was not credited in the game is gonna have no effect, its one person and already as i said even if they weren't stolen theres no credit, i remember alot of build 42 in game new mechanics being mods in build 41 is all im saying,

Rome shouldn't get too much credit for a lot of those things, because the technology and concepts came from other places.

But what they were amazing at is organizing manpower and resources to distribute those advancements to everyone under their flag...at least while they were still a Republic. Corruption and embezzlement got pretty bad once they switched to a Dictatorship. Wonder where we've seen that before?

How do you know they didn't hire him? This dev team does hire modders, and they wouldn't use someone's modification without giving credit.

This dev team isn't like the others out there. They do care about the modding community.

Occasionally they will make their mistakes like you, and me do so don't sweat it so much. Just happy to see you have a healthy respect for modders.

A person on a forum claiming someone stole a mod is not libel, no. You would never, and could never pay a lawyer enough to successfully convinct someone in that scenario, you sound obnoxious.

It wouldn't really be libelous. Since it's TIS's game, as far as I'm aware if someone makes a mod for it TIS can legally integrate the mod if they please. I'd have to check the EULA to be sure, but I can't be bothered.

I remember this happening with Fallout 4 mods. One that stands out was a mod that allowed players to make their own robots. Bethesda turned that into a DLC.
