What happened to the Steve Mod?

[Dyn]

I was just checking my mods, and realized that the Steve mod is no longer installed (how mods get uninstalled by their own?). Then I checked on the site, and couldnt find a single trace of the mod!!!

What happened? Did the author rage-deleted it? Why?

PS: the mod was https://mod.io/g/drg/m/steeve-better-visibility

Which one are you talking about specifically though? There are several.

Both of these work, and are cool:
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/fancy-steeve
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/customizable-steeve (Nevermind this one needs to be updated apparently, crashes.)

Fancy Steeve was outdated and delisted for me by game default.

It still works fine.

I have random crash and I was lazy to test all my mods.

The mod i am talking about is(was):
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/steeve-better-visibility

Can some you reupload it?

Probably not, that's a bit more complex than it may sound.

Also, it would be morally questionable to do so against the original creators wishes.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if someone recreates their own version.

Steve was banned for doing things with miners.

RIP steeve visibility mod. I'll never understand why it was removed, but I will miss how helpful it was in preventing me from accidentally shooting peoples' bugs as they dive into mosh pits.

PDRG has the .pak file saved but you'll need to use MINT if you want to run the mod

I'll just make a mention on this point because I see the same thing happen with Workshop mods as well.

Whenever an author deletes mods, then everyone loses because it will be removed from all PC's unless someone made a backup of the physical file(s). The same exact thing occurs with Workshop when people delete mods.

They should ask for permission, though. They CANNOT touch or remove something in my computer without MY PERMISSION. This is bonkers

Tell that to the EULA you clicked through without reading it. Which. if anything, was you giving them your permission to do that.

Just because they write things there, doesnt mean it's right or should be allowed

It's a legally binding agreement, your own fault for not reading what you signed. I guess you can try to challenge it in court if you really want to but something tells me that won't be happening.

I'm a few days later on this because I forgot, but while not an end-all solution and I don't know how well this works for MP if one does that, but there is the DRG Mod Integration client that appears to cache the mods to download, and then installs it to DRG. I don't exactly know how it works, but you can find it here: https://github.com/trumank/mint

Just note, it does disable the in-game mod UI if you use MINT to install mods. But, I will say that the benefit is, if someone does delete a mod for whatever reason, you won't be without said mod at the very least.

On another, somewhat unrelated note, some EULA's aren't enforceable. But in order to test that, one does have to go to court over it. So either way, it's a lose-lose for the consumer.
