Trashcan 1.2.0 — Baldur's Gate 3

[Anon]

Thanks for creating this mod all by yourself @loregamer, you should also post a paypal page for people to properly reward you for all your hard work.

[Tweed]

I don't think it's a hot take to say that uploading someone else's content on a different site without their permission, claiming it's your own work and not giving proper credit to the actual creator is a bad thing. But maybe you're just THAT detached from reality lol.

Apologies monsieur, but wivout zee, 'ow you say, formal DMCA complaint, zerr is nothing ouie can do.

Hello this is my mod, that I made. Please take it down, you did not contact me the proper way.

Although he could have put a few more text lines on this page to more clearly specify the author (do that @loregamer), he's directly linked to you on Nexus, (and then put work in to tweak it himself to work with the current patch).
He's clearly not claiming ownership of your work. What more do you want?

Did you ask Larian programmers if you could modify their code?

Why are you telling people what to do and why is it in order to make nexus ******** happier?

[Acrux]

I hope someone posts the inevitable livejournal post about this incident here!

[Vergil]

To be more on topic now that the **** have been scared off I appreciate @loregamer taking the time to update and post a mod that the mod author had clearly abandoned with no intention of actually fixing it after 4 months. The fact he only got off his *** and fixed his **** because he's so petty someone might click a download link on a different website is peak narcissism.

Checking the nexus mod, it appears to not be updated. In fact, there's a bug marked WONTFIX.

Because it's standard good practice dipshit, and renders ANY complaints impotent.
Better ModHQ be seen as a serious modding site.

As opposed to the potent complaints they have now?

Greater clarity and transparency is not a bad thing.

Mod now set to hidden after I pointed it out. @Vergil being mean.

[orinEsque]

For evidence purposes.
OAuthor abandoned the mod. Had open usage permissions. Loregamer followed rules. Author comes screaming for takedown. Nope. Not putting up with this nonsense. This is anti-modder behaviour and should be stomped out.

[Oyster Sauce]

@Mazikeensa I appreciate your work as a modder

[Silver]

I'm glad that author had enough in him to just set mod into hidden status, instead of coming here, screaming ownership and demanding takedown, while he gets the download of Lore's fix (and complete rework of code tbh) and proceeds to quietly upload not his fix to nexus.

I was gunna say that I was surprised they didn't do that, but then again, clearly not the brightest.

Appreciate it chief. Really I'm just helping these mod authors be their best selves by motivating them to actually update and improve their mods hahaha

They are narcissists. If he cared about fixing the mod he would have done that. He just wanted to throw his weight around and brow beat someone into doing what he says so he can feel special about adding a trash can into a video game.

Not gonna take it down but I'll add a credits section to the post. The mod author names were on the file as well so people will know it was your mod.

In regards to the Messagebox issue, check this Github issue for a solution. I implemented something similar for this version of the mod. Feel free to unpack the mod and take a look at it! Just a warning about this bit of code, though:


Before, if you called OpenMessageBox a million times, it would stack a million different messageboxes on top of each other that you had to confirm for each one. But with the way we have to do messageboxes now, calling ReadyCheckSpecific won't stack on top of each other. You can only have one messagebox on the screen at a time, I think. That's why I changed the mod to not open a messagebox per item and just a general "Do you want to trash these items?" message. If you wanted to keep the original functionality, you'd probably have to do something hacky. I changed the mod to insert each item you're putting into the trashcan into a table:


And then when we check for ReadyCheckPassed, I request to delete them individually. Otherwise, it clears out the table:


Anyway that's all I did to update it. Get to work!

And some parting words:

[RK-9]

I left some trash on the side of the road that I never intended to return for… But I just found out someone picked it up and made it into something useful. Now I’m mad and want my abandoned trash back!

If only there was a working trashcan to put it in..

She finally did it! Proud of you @Mazikeensa



I think you forgot to put me under credits, though. Just an error I'm sure, no worries.

If you're from UK you could file a lawsuit against Nexus, at least I'd bet UK doesn't let enterprises host defamatory content, and Nexus is hosting somebody wrongfully accusing you of being a thief.

[Acrux]

Yeah, but, how do you steal a mod? lmao

Meh I don't care that much. I meant what I said here:

Really I'm just helping these mod authors be their best selves by motivating them to actually update and improve their mods

If Mazi gets lazy again then I'll fix it, but I think I gave her the motivation she needed.

[Anon]

You don't, that's factually impossible, that's why such accusation is obviously illegal.

Yeah I wouldn't as well, but I think it'd be funny if somebody was willing to let **** hit the fan against Nexus and stupid uppity modders.

[TKVNC]

The obvious solution here is everytime we catalogue or update a mod someone has made before, we add the words '******' or '******' or the phrase 'total ****** death' into one of the files, in such a way that it does not impact the game, but leaves an indelible stain.

I've never understood it myself anyway, all the mods I ever made were just free to do whatever people wanted with them. What's so important about freely shared content that you have to throw a temper tantrum that someone is using it?
