Yeah, I saw his post about working on a new mod shortly after I saw the posts about quitting. So hopefully he'll get the motivation to update his other mods too. Glad we didn't lose another one, too many good modders are walking away lately.

I loved how Dire did a whole episode on servos, makes me want to use them more.

It didn't really get replaced by anything. While it was a cool idea, it was a pain to maintain.
Thank you for taking time to respond and totally understandable with everything you are throwing together. I'll remove it from my 1.7.10 pack I am building then and just keep bling...
IANAL, but I'm not sure Eloraam has anything here. Unless the art or the code are copied, there's no copyright infringement, and I don't believe she can claim trademark rights. Am I wrong?Eloraam@TheRealEloraam
RedPower "clone/replacement" mods (copying both both function and look&feel) are in a bit of an awkward legal position.

I don't know what to do about this - I don't want to be the villain. I'm hoping the authors of such mods just do the right thing.

Edit: On further reading, I don't believe that's even an issue here. It seems to be just about making a personal request on her part that things not be *exactly identical to RedPower*. Which seems perfectly reasonable to me.

She can't do anything unless they are using her code or assets.
Eh, we were both posting at the same time. Let me just move my statement down here, then:

/me walks away before he stabs someone.
And no it's not reasonable. It's anything but.

What, making a personal request? Wanting there to be a way to tell things apart other than WAILA telling you "this one's from that mod, the other's from the other"?
Of course, I have no idea how far she's willing to push this. Honestly, in her place, I wouldn't have bothered even to mention it.
As Eloraam said, there are plenty of ways to make other "redpower" mods look very differently. That would go a long way.
@Lawbroken the drama that's going to come from this is going to be unreal. Should we make a new thread so that you can clear it more easily?
We can even place the fuse ourselves to prepare for an easy cleanup
A new thread? Take it to the Redpower thread that was started when she return to twitter.
Don't see a point for another thread when there already is one.
I'm hoping all the other RP threads stay dead.I lol'd at your usage of "one"
Yes, because all those legal pursuits from other modders ended fantastically.
Well, of course, shed also need to have actual copyright on it, which I doubt
No, really, cut the Eloraam discussion here, folks.
(Side note: really annoying that this version of XenForo sucks at the whole moving-posts-between-threads thing. One of the few things it doesn't do well as a base forum package, and it means I can't just quickly funnel over the posts like I would otherwise do.)
