Changing Altering This Mod

**dvk901** · December 13, 2008, 10:48 PM

Since it appears to be UNCLEAR to some people, let me explain exactly what you, as Beta testers are here for.

You are here, by our graces, to help us test this mod.
You are here to report errors in whatever form they may occur.
You may make suggestions or give input, and contribute in any way you please. We much appreciate that, and some of you already have contributed a lot.

What are you NOT here for?

You were NOT allowed to be a Beta tester to play around with this mod, alter it, change files at your discretion, or in any way modify ANY file in this mod. This mod is NOT Public property. It has not been released to the public, therefore it is the property of the Roma Surrectum team.

Every THING in this mod has been placed, drawn, crafted, written so far, and determined by over a years worth of work and time by the members of this team. You do not have the right to decide on your own that you can just change something.

I'm sorry to be so harsh about this. But if I find that someone is doing this, I will assume that you are here to gawk and play around with something that doesn't belong to you, rather than help us make this mod as error free and fun to play as possible. Your access will therefore be denied to this forum immediately.

I understand, If I worked on something so long and hard, I would be pretty touchy about anyone messing with it. keep up the good work!

Think about it this way; If you screw around with it you are effectively vandalising private property hence us taking a harsh stance on the issue, even if its only been suggested.

Wasn't referring to you, bud. There is\was another case where someone actually altered files. So I'm just making this crystal clear to everyone, including new people who are coming in.

There is a reason this is very important. If people change things and break something, or cause some random undefineable error in their install, I cannot correct that error because it's on YOUR own PC. Believe me, I know how easy it is to just 'fix' something if you have any modding knowledge. But I want and insist on a straight-forward Beta testing approach.....you find\encounter an error, find encounter a problem and\or think something should be different....WE fix it and decide if something needs to be changed. That way, if something is fixed or changed, everyone gets the fix\change in a new Revision, and ALL copies of the Beta are the same.

We're at a point where we're dealing with some hard to find CTD's....most of the noxious\obvious ones have been fixed. So I need to know that what you have on your PC is the EXACT same thing I have on mine.

yep. my fault - thought it was no big deal. just painted in painter over region map. the error i reported was in no relation to other errors reports which i keep elsewhere.i should have been more clear about that and i already apologized. im not so stupid to change some files and then complain about the screwd game... everything i wanted was just some advice. is it ok now?
