What in the world is SRB2 Workshop?

why aren't you happy that the community gets more mods? even if they may be ports, you're still getting more mods for the gam and that's what matters at the end of the day

as much as having people enjoy making mods for the game is nice for the community, it is more enjoyable for both authors and players when people take their time making a good product instead of cheaply pushing out mod after mod of dubious performance and quality


quality over quantity something something

actually, why can't you just leave them alone? why aren't you happy that the community gets more mods? even if they may be ports, you're still getting more mods for the gam and that's what matters at the end of the day.

Pure, parasitic selfishness. That's all there is to it in your response, really. You just want mods, doesn't matter where from, doesn't matter who they were taken from without the author's prior knowledge and permission.

Is it really that difficult to treat artists and modders with respect like the human beings they are?

say that to your sonic recolors

 

[amperbee]

your

got none

 

[Hammerhead]

got none

supports all

 

[amperbee]

supports all

i have no sonic recolors under my name though
what's your point

 

[SilverVortex]

say that to your sonic recolors

fun thing about them is that they either have a ton of impressive stuff going on under the hood or are earnest first shots from people just starting out with modding, so i wouldn't think they're totally comparable with ports

 

[Hammerhead]

not you, just the mb

 

[amperbee]

not you, just the mb

then don't say "your sonic recolors"?

still, what's your point?

 

[Rolly Polly Pal]

not you, just the mb

It would have helped to elaborate such in a more fleshed out post instead of posting needlessly simple responses that simply bloat the thread.

how many recolors exist on this website with the same abilities?

let me rephrase, you're ok with mods like past sonic, but ports aren't allowed?

 

[amperbee]

so you're okay with recolors but ports aren't allowed?

depends on what a "recolor" means to you
depends on what a "port" means to you

let me rephrase, you're ok with mods like past sonic, but ports aren't allowed?

When did we say ports weren't allowed?

 

[Endermanch69]

let me rephrase, you're ok with mods like past sonic, but ports aren't allowed?

As for that specific example, the mod has original sprites and therefore should be allowed

 

[Hammerhead]

As for that specific example, the mod has original sprites and therefore should be allowed

so it's a sonic that's based on the early days of srb2, with VERY low quality, plays the EXACT same as sonic, but it's okay.

and then we have ports, which are also taken from the past, also wit low quality, plays the same way, but they're not allowed because of permission?

 

[Endermanch69]

plays the EXACT same as sonic

if we're going by community wide definitions, whereupon

• a recolor mod is basically taking the sprites of an existing character, changing its base color and making a mod out of it
  • in that case, i'd be okay with it? if it has something unique to it and the artist doesn't see a problem with the recoloring, i don't see any problem with it
• a port is a mod that is based on a version of a preexisting mod, tweaked specifically to be played on a different version
  for example, a 2.1 mod modified to work on 2.2, or viceversa
  • in that case, i'd be okay with it? it's up to whether the author doesn't see a problem with it

as you can see, it all boils down to
"is author ok with it?"

i'm not a judge though, i can say all the dumb shit i want but i'm not the paragon of guideline following

i should clarify that i never said ports aren't allowed, i have no clue where did you get that.
