modding-respect-guide - Only a reference

Why this and what is it?

At the peak of TDU1-Modding times, there were discrepancies between different modders and fanbases.

(Probably the "fanboy-war", was the biggest problem!)

I'm not here to warm up old stories, but in the past some new modders lost the pleasure before they have even really begun.

It would be very nice, if this does not happen again or at least not take the same proportions.

 

This thread can only be a little reference, to keep the modding-scene "clean and friendly".

Always remember,

behind every nickname is a real person. These humans can over-react and be injured.

Modders sacrifice a lot of spare time, to make their and your game "better".

Without tool-developers like Djey, there would not be any tdu(2)-modding-scene.

 

 

"Guidelines" primarily but not only for "users":

 

  • Read the threads, readme-files carefully and inform in the forum, before asking questions about installing and other stuff.
  • Report bugs or discrepancies in a polite and respectful manner.
  • If you don't like a mod, but still have to post something - have a look at the line above.
  • It's ok to have a favorite modder, but also respect other modders and their work.
    • Accept that there is not only one all knowing, perfect modder. Don't rush them against each other - they could help each other and push modding to the max.
    • Don't jump singing into a modder's thread and just post to - say the work by another modder is better / link to an equal mod by another modder / post pics of another modder's work.
    • Everyone has at some point started - respect "newbies" even if they can't deliver the same quality, as someone who has the experiance of several years.

"Guidelines" primarily but not only for "modders":

 

  • Even when it's hard, try to forget the old stories. Respect each other, share some of your knowledge and take the new adventure together.
  • If you want to help or criticize, do it in a polite and respectful manner. This can be done via pm.
  • Accept criticism and tips! - Even if it was posted public in your threads. This way normal-users will notice, that we can help (and learn from) each other.
  • Practice patience with newcomers, they are all excited and often miss the easiest things.
  • ...

 

All these lines above aren't explicit rules, but something to think about!

Some points should already be covered by simple respect for other people or forum-rules. - Nobody is perfect, but let us try the best!

 

Best regards

Thanks for your feedback!

Understand your point and I had already thought about listing this theme.

Specifically the difference between converters and 3D-modelers - and respect for the last one.

Perhaps i will add some lines.

 

But i am not here to discuss and judge about converters (did also conversions in the past) or imitate an lawyer for global-companies.

 

best regards
